I'm friending you because every time I read one of your Peter fics I have a minor heart attack, and I think I need a little more danger in my life.
*laughs!* I should have a registered nurse standing by, like at the old horror movies.
I loved Juxiantang's hints of Ron/Peter - but this interpretation of it was not something that even so much as lurked at the back of my imagination.
It's funny to me that people are saying this, because I absolutely thought this was present in "Damage Control", just very subtly. I wondered if it would seem that I was repeating what JT had already said. :)
I read it twice, because I was only skimming the Azkaban bits to read more of the Ron/Peter
Heh, the Ron/Peter was much more fun to write, too. Well, maybe 'fun' is the wrong word, but it was much less laborious to write than the Azkaban parts. I cut a couple of Ron/Peter scenes because there wasn't room for them, but I just kept getting ideas for more... they came out so easily.
even in this, where it shouln't have been a metter of contest, Harry was beating him. And Ron knew it.
You know, this is exactly what struck me about Ron in JPW, so I'm glad you mentioned it. This is the part I always think of from JPW:
He heard Ron curse softly. The other boy was in front of the mirror now, wiping at his mouth with the back of his hand, in a useless attempt to get off the last of the lip paint. "Doesn't this shite ever come off?"
"Cold cream, dear," said the mirror. "Stop using soap on your face so hard; you'll ruin that pretty complexion of yours."
"Fucking hell." There was no emotion behind it. "Even the fucking mirror's going all perverted on me. I didn't ask to be Nott's fantasy of a skirt-wearing cross-dresser, did I?" The anger was starting to build, however. "Or to have to wear the fucking skirt, blouse, and hairbow all fucking day TOMORROW, did I?"
"You too?"
Ron looked at Harry. "Who's making you wear a skirt?"
"No, not like that." Harry felt suddenly awkward; he hadn't been trying to one-up Ron.
It just sneaks up on you, that bit, and then smacks you right in the head with how CANON it is, how recognizable the dynamic is. That was what I wanted to write.
Ha, I'm babbling. Thank you very, very much for your feedback; I'm glad you've enjoyed my writing. :)
