the powers of fanfiction
If you're wondering why I'm over here in the corner crying, it's because of this.
Harry Potter fanfiction, about Neville's year at Hogwarts and the battle from his perspective. It's heartbreaking and yet terrifying hopeful at the end and OHGODIAMSOBBING does that make it clear enough how good this is? And I finished the last chapter at least fifteen minutes ago.
Also? I ship Michael/Terry SO HARD.
... apparently once I break through the first boundaries of my 'LOOK I JUST DON'T SHIP SLASH. REALLY' ... it all goes to hell?
BUT NO, SERIOUSLY. HOW CAN YOU NOT SHIP THEM? I mean, he was willing to kill him and *sobs* and I really don't think there's any way for me not to ship them, the amazing people that they are. No, seriously. Just read Chapter 18 (once you've read the others, of course!).
Also, we finally get a picture of what the Final Battle was really like, not just Harry around the edges, and it's just... see, this is why Rowling couldn't include that in the book, it would have been so much more angsty if she had.
Seriously. One of the very, very few fanfiction novel-length stories (WIP's or completed) that I've ever liked. In fact, the only other one is![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
