When I found out Stacy was pregnant on today's One Life To Live. I've been watching this soap since I was seven years old, same as All My Children, and I consider myself a soap veteran in terms of viewing but I still gasped. lol. It amuses me.
I'm working on the first chapter of a new My Otome fic called Fragile Things. It's going to be super angsty and focuses on Shizuru/Haruka as a couple. I'm honestly not sure if I'm going to go back to A Thousand Glimpses when I'm done with this fic and finish it. I guess it depends on my mood. I want to finish A Thousand Gimpses just to have it over and done with but it's not all plotted out. I do better finishing projects when I plot them out from start to finish which, I swear to god, I plan on doing from now on. The angsty My Otome fic is plotted out scene by scene from the first chapter to the last so I can't get stuck/bored/lazy in the middle of it.
I've had an idea for awhile for another Harry Potter fanfic focusing on Fleur/Hermione. It would take place after Deathly Hallows and Victoire had finished at Hogwarts while Rose and Hugo are still there. Fleur gets bored of being a housewife and after some finagling on Ron's part comes to work as Hermione's assistant at the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. From there the two women begin to bond and get closer until eventually they start having an affair with one another. I'm not sure how I'd work in the veela background established in No Defense For You since I really like it but it kind of provides a roadblock to them having an affair. Maybe go with the theory that Fleur's blood is diluted enough that she didn't really go through any courtship ritual with Bill and she only realizes through working with Hermione that's who she was really meant to be with? I'm not sure. I like the idea of them having a work related affair as adults with kids though. Not sure why but it appeals to me.
The other idea I had is Luna/Hermione and would be an alternate universe version of Deathly Hallows where Hermione gets captured by Death Eaters when she and Harry visit Godric's Hollow after Ron abandons them. Hermione ends up at Malfoy Manor with Luna and the others where she's tortured for information on Harry and blah blah and while she's imprisoned she grows close with Luna who, really, seemed to be the rock in that place that held everyone else together. I think it could really work in that capacity because even if Hermione has feelings for Ron I think him abandoning them and her getting tortured while captured after he left would sort of alter that. She wouldn't blame Ron for anything but it would change her feelings to some degree. Especially if Luna was there that whole time, taking care of her and keeping her sane in the situation. Plus Hermione is the only one that returns for her seventh year to take her N.E.W.T.s so I could easily have her and Luna further develop their relationship at Hogwarts in Hermione's last year and Luna's sixth while Ron and Harry aren't around.
Anyway! Those are just some fanfic things going on in my head lately.
