One beautiful fic...

As I found out about the mere existence of LiveJournal through the world of HP fandom and fanfiction, I feel I should pay respects.

I found this fic quite a long time ago (long time being a length of time after which I barely remember anything - what with my memory might actually be quite short). I don't know how I found it, I couldn't even

Here it is! I read this a long time ago and loved it to the point of actually talking about it to my colleagues. Can you imagine? Discussing Animagi at a coffee break in lab where everybody thinks I'm nutters for obsessing over children books?

But the perception in Amorette's story is amazing. I absolutely love the way she transforms the whole sensory information with a simple act of becoming a hedgehog. Her idea of how an animal might sense smells, shapes, tastes, visions is absolutely thrilling for the zoologist in me. Thank you for re-finding it for me. I'm not letting it go ever again. It's firmly fixed in my favourites now. Perfect story!

It happens to me sometimes - I read a fic and then I completely forget who wrote it, how it was named, mostly everything except how I felt about it and maybe something from the plot.

This one lay forgotten very very deep in my memories. I remembered it actually when we were speaking about a book by Stephen King, where he described a smell as a dog perceives it - almost like a color. I liked that and I loved this fic. It really made me want to be an animagus - to be able to escape to animal form when I feel the world is overwhelmimg me in the negative sense, or just to be able to feel things I cannot feel as a human.

I am fortunate, because my colleagues actually like sci-fi and fantasy, so I have somebody to discuss at least something with. Not HP really, though...
