Title: An Accident in Time
Rating: NC17
Word Count: 37,500
Warning(s): chan (15), bottom!Snape; mentions additional pairings: Harry/OMC, one-sided Harry/Ginny, and Ron/Hermione
Prompt/Summary: One evening, Harry opens the door to an unexpected visitor, and is faced with a boy who looks and sounds like a younger version of Severus Snape. Exactly like a younger version.
A/N: My snarry_swap fic, written for winoniel. I meant to write a cute, fast-paced little story. But then Severus kind of kidnapped my plot and ran away with the story. He might be a bottom, but he's awfully toppy all the same, if you ask me.

A million and one thanks to my brave betas, afina_shining and leela_cat!

Don't start reading here! It's the last part. :)

Whew, it's been three long, overwhelming days. There's so much stuff to learn! All those details about universities and their application processes, who accepts what and how to get it and ... well. I'm exhausted.

But it's been only three days. I'll get there. And it looks like fun, at least some of the things I'll be doing. Plus, two of my colleagues are okay. The third one ... Well. She's so far been Too Important to acknowledge my presence. But she's given notice and she'll be gone by the end of the month, so whatever. The last colleague I'll meet next Monday because this week she's on holiday.

The only really Not Nice thing is that my days are really, really long. I get up at 5.30 am, leave at 6:50 am and return home at 8:10 pm. My life consists of sleeping, communting, and working.

No time for writing, very little time for reading, no time for fandom. Ah, well. There's always the weekend.

But I need a reader for my ebooks so that I can read on the train.

A quick drive-by post, but I just had to come and squee because

I GOT A JOB!!!

*happy dance*

I'll advise students who want to study in Australia or New Zealand and help them with their applications. It's perhaps not the most exciting job but it's a job! It will earn money!

Squeeeeee! :D

...

I'm so nervous ...

please occasionally use the brain this body is in possession of. I can testify that it works if used regularly. Thank you.

No love,
Me


*headdesk*

I think I need a holiday from life.

(In Defence of) The Loathe That Dare Not Speak Its Name:

It's easy to indulge in casual stereotyping, and to accuse the opponents of gay marriage of "bigotry," "homophobia," "a stunning lack of historical knowledge" or "total failure to show basic decency."

You might even point out that their arguments against the legality of gay marriage "don't make any fucking sense."

But friends, that kind of rhetoric is just the same old hatred rearing its ugly head, hatred which America's political left must finally admit to, and confront. Much like how American liberals failed to consider the extra special feelings of Southern Whites, whose unique cultural traditions couldn't withstand the inability to treat black people like caged animals, or how they failed to see how letting millions starve to death during the depression would have actually saved this country, we now find ourselves once again on the wrong side of history, forcing our narrow minded, hateful agenda down the throats of people who deserve not our scorn, but our sincere sympathy.

Reveals were up ages ago on hp_yule_balls. So, here's the fic I sweated over!
