salineaHappy belated birthday ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cteresa ! ♥
I have SHELVES ! I can now buy plenty of books (okay not that it was stopping me before, it was just very hanging about the place in big places)
it's funny how much more home it feels with book-filled shelves. I feel finally at home ♥
Ouran School Host Club is my new crack. I didn't even mean to get into the latest craze that all the cool kids dig, I just picked up that manga called "Host Club : le lycée de la séduction" (yeah that's a horribly cheesy name in case you wonder) and fell in love (okay, i had a vague suspicion it might have been the same stuff)
Anyway, apart from the fact it's good crack, and that the characters are darling, and that I have dozens of flashbacks to other characters about them, I like some of the meta-ish component of the serie. ^_^ And, anyway, you've got to love Haruhi (though i don't like when they make her all girly >_<)
Otherwise, I watched the second season of Kaleido Star (finally!) which was rather dispointing (you were right about that Maya !). Not everything was bad of course, but the themes were so heavy handed (and stoopid, but stoopid !) it was painful, and they forgot to give other characters than Sora and the new characters a point in life. So it appeared that their only drive in life was to support Sora. Gah.
I am horribly bored with work. I almost didn't do anything today. And it wasn't even because I was reading fics. I'm very motivationless lately. Meh.
I did read a couple of good fics I wanted to rec :
Eurydice goes down bybitterfig which is becoming quickly one of my new favourite writer. She's got such a fresh and original take on things.
Anyway this fic is a terrific TonksxLuna which awesome characterization of both Tonks and Luna and several other characters. Highly reccommanded to any Tonks lover.
Summary: AU, post-HBP. Lupin is captured by the Death Eaters. Tonks and Luna Lovegood set out to rescue him. High jinks ensue. Except I don’t write high jinks, so angst and weirdness ensue.
It's not without darkness, but also with humour and has something fairy-talish about it.
(by the way, Maya,bitterfic also just wrote a TohmaxEiri fic, it might be a bit dark for your taste for this pairing, but it's very well written. It made me think of you, so heh ^^)
and The Inescapable Cell bychtonya which is a wonderful Gen piece with Dumbledore and Lucius.
As a story, I wasn't sure where it was going to, but the stunning characterizations made up for it. Especially Lucius'. Good Lucius stories always make my day, and it's very, very rare that I find Lucius hot which was the case there.
The writer apparently writes a lot of Lucius, so I'll have to check up her other fics... especially if there's some LuciusxNarcissa ^_^
