Knock knock...

Boo! It's me. Yeah, yeah, it's been literal years but hello!
It's weird being back on LJ. So many people are gone or have changed their names so I don't really know who's who. My own fault though.

Been reading my old LJ entries. Quite funny. Hmmm, what has changed? Very little, really. Finished college, abandoned the idea of uni. Just work now. Thrilling, my life.

Anyhoo, despite my horrific absence from this dear platform, I have never stopped writing my fanfic (there's a new H/D one-shot up on my other LJ ennedepaix_fics if anyone's interested).

If anyone remembers me, say hello?

Hello there. I can't believe it's been eleven months since I last updated. I'm so sorry! My excuses are... Not great. I did take a break from writing for a couple of months because my grandfather was taken into a hospice and, while there, passed away from cancer. Then, after that, my second nephew was born so family stuff took up a lot of time. However, that was in the summer. My true reasons for not finishing this chapter are more to do with the fact that I can't concentrate on one fic at a time and flit between several stories and also write episodes of this story which aren't due for a long time yet.
Anyway, for those of you who still remember that this story exists, here is Chapter Four.

Life Story - Chapter Four
Summary: Tea, cigarettes, wine, dancing, sex, cross-dressing, pervert friends, babies, weddings, funerals, paranoia, abusive ex-partners, drugs, appendicitis, letchy old men... All in a day, isn't it?
Rating: As of now, I don't know, R for language and wanking, maybe. Or does wanking need an NC-17?
Word Count for this section: approx 7,690.
Previous chapters can be found in my Memories.

Notes: HBP has no bearing on this fic! Ginny and Harry didn’t go out. Draco didn’t turn completely evil. Dumbledore… Well, I haven’t decided what’s happened to him but Snape wasn’t all the stuff he was in HBP. All right? I hope this is okay with everyone.

Songs in this chapter: This Modern Love by the amazing Bloc Party; Where’s Your Head At? By the ever-cheery Basement Jaxx

Life Story - Chapter Three
Summary: Tea, cigarettes, wine, dancing, sex, cross-dressing, pervert friends, babies, weddings, funerals, paranoia, abusive ex-partners, drugs, appendicitis, letchy old men... All in a day, isn't it?
Rating: As of now, I don't know, R for language and wanking, maybe. Or does wanking need an NC-17?

Notes: HBP has no bearing on this fic! Ginny and Harry didn’t go out. Draco didn’t turn completely evil. Dumbledore… Well, I haven’t decided what’s happened to him but Snape wasn’t Half-Blood Prince or a traitor to Dumbledore or anything. All right? I hope this is okay with everyone.

The song Harry is singing at the beginning of the chapter is called ‘Please Please Please (Young Hollywood)’ and it’s off the album ‘Decadence’ by the band Head Automatica. They’re very good. The singer is the singer from Glassjaw, Mr Palumbo I believe he is called, but the music’s completely different in each band. I recommend both bands highly. Head Automatica truly is brilliant sing-along music.

Hello, all!

The second chapter of Life Story is up at my fic only journal : ennedepaix_fics

I had to post in two parts because LJ says it's too big even though I checked it wasn't. The first part is here and the second part is linked from there.

Enjoy!

PS: Foo Fighters are on form with their new song, 'Best of You'; fucking brilliant.

Quick note about the update of Life Story. It's a bit late. I've been really ill over the last few days - viral gastroenteritus and acute tonsillitis at the same time - and haven't had a chance to write everything up properly yet. I will be posting a "cookie" up at my fic only journal - ennedepaix_fics - and then I hope the whole chapter will be up within a week. I'm really sorry. Everything was on track for the chapter to be up on time but then I got ill.

I hope the rest of you are all right.

Hello, quick note to say I've set up a new, seperate account on LJ to house my fics and keep them safe. They're delicate little things, you know? I'll still be posting fics here as well but I might put teasers/cookies on the fic only LJ so if you'd like to friend it, it's here (and currently lonely):

Bye!

Bonjour.

Firstly, everyone must buy Silent Alarm by Bloc Party because it is absolutely fucking incredible and So Here We Are is the most gorgeously, wondrously beautiful song I have heard in ages. Plus, three of the members wear glasses, which is always good. Buy it!!!

Dear, do I get too excited about music? Like when I saw a new Dizzee Rascal video and started bouncing and going, "HEEEE!". Or when I heard Jimmy Eat World were doing a new album and I did wordless fish mouth gaping? Oh well.

Secondly, I hit 100,000 words on my fic! YAY!

In celebration of this, I am going to post some of it. I am so horribly nervous. This is my baby. It's still not finished and it might be a long time before I post the next part but I've been writing it for absolutely ages and I really want to post some. Be honest about it!

Okay. So, Harry and Draco are 29. It's set in 2004, though, so I've taken some liberties with canon dates. Who doesn't?

Basically, with this story, I just wanted it to be a normal relationship building between the two. I wanted them to argue and I wanted them to be nervous and I wanted them to have times where nothing seemed like it would ever go wrong. And I wanted stuff to go wrong.

Please be aware, however, in terms of character development, things are discovered as we wobble along. So, keep that in mind before passing judgement. Even so, it's still OOC, I think. But do you all mind that much, hmmm, really? Especially seeing as it's set over ten years after Hogwarts and they may just have grown up.

I really, really hope you find something to like in this. darkasphodel, this is the beginning of the fic I sent you the smut from, remember? And, goingxmissing, you've read it all. But please, feel free to read again!

This is for goingxmissing, for her birthday! Happy - slightly belated because i haven't been on the internet - Birthday! Love you, sweetheart!

Comments very much appreciated for this, my first departure from Harry/Draco.

I know. I am so wrong. I am ashamed.

I'm blaming son_of_darkness unashamedly for this. He recced the DrabbleMatic thing. It's all his fault I am depraved to this extent.

You may very well be squicked by this. It's Harry. It's Dobby. It's... a teabag.

Lookie what krissielee wrote me! I dedicated a fic to her and she wrote a drabble for me!

My prompt: 'H/D, a double decker bus, and the mention of a parrot.'

This is the fantabulous result!

Any ideas for some wonderful films/tv series I need to watch/buy?
