Fairy Lights (NC-17, Ron/Harry, 910 words)

Look, a wankfic! Something I'd like to see more of. I like how it's universally relatable, yet private. We don't normally tell people what we think about while jerking off.

Anyway, I wrote almost all of this fic sitting in the Barnes & Noble cafe, and while I was, the three teenagers sitting at the table next to me started talking about Harry Potter, considering seeing the movie.

Guy: I like Harry Potter movies.
Girl 1: Me too.
Girl 2: I like them okay... Well, the real reason I like them is Ron. He's hot!
Girl 1: Yeah, he's totally cute.
Girls: *giggle*
Guy: ...
Me: *gales of internal laughter*

That's fabulous!

Though then again, if it were me who'd overheard that, I would have said, "Then you've got to see the GoF; he's even cuter!"

Do you remember that one time we were in that restaurant outside Baltimore and there were those four guys at the table next to us talking about slash?

I still kinda wish we'd come up with a way to break in on their conversation. . .

Hee! And yes, bring on the wankfic. There's never enough, dammit.

I totally remember that time. I was listening very carefully to the three teenagers; if their conversation had indicated that any of them were actually in fandom, I was planning to say something. Alas, they were just perving over Rupert Grint in an ordinary way, not a fandom way. Afaik.

Indeed. Fan writers spend so much time writing about things they've never actually done, you'd think it'd be more popular to write about something everyone has done!
