Last week, we asked Pottermore users to give us examples of some of the house traits highlighted in the Sorting Hat’s song in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone.
I like this one:
Haha, so true. Or would be if I had a Twitter account.
BTW, I still have not gotten around to getting sorted in Pottermore.

still going gradually through fic recs
Sirius/Regulus, AO3 "Mature" rating, 7244 words
Author's summary: This is a thing that never should have started.
Author's warnings: I didn't tag this as necrophilia because it really isn't, but it's close. Also, Regulus and Sirius are possibly underage in parts of this.
Quote:
"Just once." Sirius closes his eyes, mumbles the words against his brother's mouth.
"It's always been just once," Regulus says, and Sirius thinks that's a lie.
Once became twice became thrice became too much. This should stop, but it never should have started, and Sirius' breath catches when Regulus presses him back against the wall.

snapecaseTobias, Eileen, Severus, PG, 2672 words
Author's summary: He's long and skinny, and his nose seems to be a combination of the worst of both Eileen's and mine. Poor little sod will never live that one down. His skin, though, is the softest I've ever felt. Brushing my stained, scarred finger over his cheek feels like a crime, but I can't stop myself.
My comment: "*applauds* as
sionna_raven said, thank you for turning a cardboard cliche into this."Quote:
It's not until later that night, when it's time to put Severus to bed, that I realise I have to talk to Eileen and tell her that her father is dead. She's tired, though, and has a headache. Tomorrow, I think, as I watch her carry Severus upstairs.
The lad's getting so big. His arms and legs are hanging over her arms. Still, even with his size, it's hard to believe he'll be starting school come the backend of the year. He's not showing signs of magic, either, despite Eileen letting him lark around with her wand.
He's still my son.

Since Perhaps Forever by
laventadorn in silverdoefestSeverus/Lily "pre-het", author rates M for language but I count just one swear word, 1233 words
Author's summary: AU. After the war is over, Lily and Severus reconnect.
My comment: "Very nice. I like the visuals of Severus: slinking from the shadows, 'as if hopeful that someone with a voice like could that teach them a proper song', and the dry humor in 'Trade secrets.'"
Quote:
Severus’ voice, slinking out of the shadows like a black cat, said, “Perhaps you should try for a tune you can carry.”
Lily was so startled she almost fell face-forward into the flowers. They had turned toward him, unfurling their petals wide, as if hopeful that someone with a voice like could that teach them a proper song. “Severus! Jesus, make noise, would you?”

From Wired: Internet SOPA/PIPA Revolt: Don’t Declare Victory Yet
speak_me_fair at CISPA is the new SOPAHere's their next move: The Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act, or CISPA, would obliterate any semblance of online privacy in the United States.
And CISPA would provide a victory for content owners who were shell-shocked by the unprecedented outpouring of activism in opposition to SOPA and Internet censorship.
The House of Representatives is planning to take up CISPA during the week of April 23. Click here to ask your lawmakers to oppose it.
SOPA was pushed as a remedy to the supposed economic threat of online piracy -- but economic fear-mongering didn't quite do the trick.
So those concerned about copyright are engaging in sleight of hand, appending their legislation to a bill that most Americans will assume is about keeping them safe from bad guys.
This so-called cyber security bill aims to prevent theft of "government information" and "intellectual property" and could let ISPs block your access to websites -- or the whole Internet.
Don't let them push this back-door SOPA. Click here to demand that your lawmakers oppose CISPA.
CISPA also encourages companies to share information about you with the government and other corporations.
That data could then be used for just about anything -- from prosecuting crimes to ad placements.
And perhaps worst of all, CISPA supercedes all other online privacy protections.
Please click here to urge your lawmakers to oppose CISPA when it comes up for a vote this month.
Thanks for fighting for the Internet.

The dark side is not giving up so we must continue to fight the good fight.

working slowly through the recs folder
Severus, Voldemort, Dumbledore, rated Gen in AO3 system (possibly PG), 3840 words
Author's summary: GoF gapfiller. Severus Snape returns to the fold of the Death Eaters, willingly binding his fate to two masters. He wonders if the return will be worth the risk.
Author's warnings: Non-graphic violence
My comment: "Great job! Good choice of 'missing moment' - this is something so important to Severus's story."
Quote:
He did not dare speak until the Dark Lord gave him permission. But no welcome, no reproach, even no curse came. The silence stretched on, punctuated only by the hiss and crack of the logs in the fire. The Dark Lord was a cat, toying with his meal.

Twenty Things Slytherin Knows About That Rantypants Brewery Swot With The Nose (and one thing Gryffindor never will) by
Severus, various Slytherins, Lily, basically an ensemble cast; Gen in AO3 (but it does have some coarse language so maybe PG-13 for that), 18902 words
Author's summary: Some people are Slyth enough to sort Gryff, and some are kinda sorta vey is mir zomg unbelievably not. (Does what it says on the label).
No warnings but let me quote the extensive, amusing tag list at you: Hat abuse, we're gonna win the universe!, slices of life, Severus wishes he were a sneaky bastard, I fight only for myself, that hate-on Severus has for Gryffindor, that hate-on Gryffindor has for Severus, bullheaded stubbornness vs. two-faced hypocrisy, young Severus, nongraphic, harsh world, Severus's embarrassing love affair with potions, episodic, abuse of defenseless textbooks.
I left more than one comment on this in conversation with the author (which half the time isn't exactly relevant to the story); you can read those here if you like.
Quote:
One soggy, humid November day in fourth year (and let's be fair, now, the wet chill and low barometer had even normal people surly and touchy) he walked out of a Runes exam, stiffarmed Bagman against the wall, spoke a quiet word to him, and padded away.
Right, right, a nothing, sure, and that's what everyone else thought, too, only once he was gone it took Lupin and Evans and two of Bagman's mates to lever him, quivering, out of his steaming puddle and drag him to the infirmary, where he babbled for hours about endless frozen depths of hell rising up to spear him through the nose with unholy blasting black flames of icy scornful pitchforky death.
P.S. That excerpt (not to mention the title) is pretty representative of the style; it will help your enjoyment of this fic a lot if you like that sort of on-purpose-run-on, ranty, slightly breathless and hysterical tone played for humor (as well as ha ha only serious). There really are a lot of clever phrasings in this fic.

(Finding) Life After Voldemort by
r_grayjoy in hoggywartyxmasSeverus Snape, Minerva McGonagall, Pomona Sprout, Alastor Moody, Remus Lupin, Lily Potter, Eileen Snape, and (offscreen) Neville Longbottom; PG-13, ~3500 words
Author's summary: A series of not-so-unrelated moments in the lives of several not-so-unconnected individuals. (Largely gen with a side of femslash and a dash of slash thrown in for flavor. AU of the "Deaths? What Deaths?" sort.)
My comment: "Nice series :)" (ooo helpful.)
Quote:
There was a great deal of Eileen Snape in her son. They both had the same long, homely features and pitch-black hair that was prone to oiliness and disarray. They had both mastered the sort of withering glare that made the recipient feel approximately ten centimeters high. And they were both capable of holding a grudge for decades.

Your job is now your Time Lord name.
...y'know, somehow, "Cataloger Who" just doesn't have the same ring to it.
The last digit of your phone number is the current regeneration you are in.
1. Um, so. I haven't ever died yet, I guess?
The nearest clothing item to your right is now the most notable item in your current wardrobe.
My computer spot is rather close to the wall, so I would apparently be known for being a naked Time Lord if there didn't chance to be a bra I'm waiting to do a little repair on sitting on top of the file cabinet there. Although I'm not sure it's better to be noted for being a Time Lord who either is topless but for her bra, or wears one in some kind of inappropriate manner, such as outside her shirt or on her head or pinned on a lapel like so much celery.
The last person you texted is your current companion.
My husband. Works for me.
Your favorite word is now your catchphrase.
...I honestly have no answer for this. I said "What's my favorite word?" to Mr Smartass McHusbandpants over there <--- and he said "Is it?"
In other news, I hear Who's on first.
Appropriate appropriated quote is appropriate(d).
("Eddies in the spacetime continuum."
"Is he, is he.")

Today's episode of unpopular opinions has been brought to you by "I did not follow anyone on tumblr for Sherlock so what is all this Sherlock doing all over my dash."**

* I wanted to make a totally-looks-like comparison with a picture of a "grey", but his eyes, though creepily wide-set, are not actually large enough to make the point.
** I know tumblr is for whatever the hell you feel like posting and hey if it really bugs me that much, unfollow. Jus' sayin', sometimes I don't get who fandom elects as hawt.
