Finished: Waiting (K+) - Draco/Hermione

Aug 31, 2007 19:19


Notes: For Heleen derryere. The style goes back to my Vanity days; I thought it was quite fitting. And, admittedly, this was fun. I urge everyone to proceed with caution - silliness abound and all that.

Date: 31 August 2007

Pairing(s): Draco/Hermione
Summary: Hermione Granger decided she rather fancied Draco Malfoy. Preferably dead.

It was completely unexpected. )

This is rather adorable, starting with Luna's prediction and ending with Draco and Hermione's argument. I loved their arguments and banter- it was so in character for both of them, and yet still hinting at something else. ♥

Haha, I'm still convinced that other authors are more capable of writing better believable arguments between Draco and Hermione. Sometimes I think the potential innocence between them is overlooked for something more, I don't know, sexy? Though I'm not one to deny that it's any better. :D

Supposedly, I shouldn't be on Livejournal seeing as I have other things to do (ex. PROJECTS) but I was intrigued by your short and fascinating summary.

IT WAS SO GOOD. I would have love a little more touching BUT yes, I expected it not because of the K+ rating. =/ BLAH, you should do more provocation and such because you have a natural talent when it comes to writing. You would be excellent at characterizations! Maybe not smut, but more touching would make my happy and warm all inside my tummy. haha

BUT THIS WAS PERFECT. SERIOUSLY. I LOVE EVERYTHING. Their encounter, their little awkward moments, their conversations ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Write more. ILU! :)

You're so adorable, thank you!

Summaries are death! It took me about five minutes to decide one when I finally relented a line from the story itself.

Ha, you're not the only one. Apparently, others were expecting more of their arrangement than snappy conversation. I suppose I could make do with another story that's more physical though considerably less detailed than whatever else I've written. Less is more, as they say.

Thanks, love. :)

Lovely! Perfectly snarky and appropriate awkward when "the truth" was finally out.

The end was hilarious. :)

I'm happy to know that the ending was as effective.

Thank you!

My only complaint is that there isn't more. I was smiling ridiculously throughout the whole thing. :D

This was most lovely for a Saturday morning! :)

So long as it has potential to make people smile, giggle, what-have-you - that makes me happy. As I've said to nearly everyone else, I was nearly scared to post this, especially considering my third person perspectives are quite rusty nowadays!

Eeeh!! IT IS WONDERFUL! SO WONDERFUL!

I love this, E. The atmosphere was so perfect, it felt like the first time I read real fic. It was a R/Hr one, by Arabella, and it was in the middle of the winter when I did, and I'll never forget how cozy it was. And this feels just as cozy, and now I'm happy :D

I loved how it began in your AWESOME narrator voice (seriously, ilur narrating) and that weaved into their discussion, like a bit of both of my fav worlds. And OH, PRAT DRACO with a crush, you are so cute! AND OH, Hermione I-secretly-tolerate-you-but-don't-you-dare-telling, YOU ARE SO ADORABLE!

"I am going to stab you in your sleep." HAHA! I ALWAYS say that to my sister. Almost every day!

"No more thinking!" Favourite line ever! Well said, Hermione. Thinking is all that is wrong with Draco - eliminate that, and he'll improve by BUNCHES.

Oooh, you, evil! Ending it like that! But oh, I liked it so much, I can't bring myself to complaining. This made me the happiest gall, E, thank you so much! ♥

Your request was perfect. I surprised myself by writing it almost immediately after I agreed to write one for you. My humour's not quite as funny as other writers that I know, but I thought it was fitting enough for you - at least I hoped. I attempted to apply a little charm into it since your request was very - I can't think of the word - sweet? Doesn't quite justify it. And you're you. ♥

I loved that line myself and think it rather ironic since it's all Hermione does. Who is she to demand others to stop doing what she does best? Well, using that sort of logic makes sense since it almost feels like it's her job to do so.

I'm very, very happy that you liked it! This story itself has, more or less, encouraged me to write some more in the same style and has reminded me how much I actually miss third person. It's loads different from writing in present tense, as I'm sure everyone else knows. This is more comfortable, it seems. Less pressure to invoke false wisdom and poetry and all that rubbish. :)

bfjis;ah.

This fic is ♥. BUT THE ENDING - AHHHHH! WHAT HAPPENED?! (I can just imagine them shuffling around awkwardly).

:D, lol, the banter was purrrfect. Loved it. I always love it when Hermione insults his hair - it's hilarious!

Lovely fic. May I add you? Ah, too late XD.
