[Fic] "Beauty" -- Harry Potter

Wrote another thirtyforthree ficlet -- this one's a strict drabble, for theme #10 (Rent) -- which brings me to 13 out of 30. (I think I forgot to mention the last one I wrote, which is for #12, Alone, and is a double drabble.) In any case, I posted a previous ficlet (#29, Tattoo) up on the community. It's Ginny/Harry/Draco, loosely Draco POV, mild to moderate angst, and a vaguely implied sexual relationship -- that is, they're clearly naked in bed together at one point, but no sex happens anywhere in the story.

( Beauty )

It's been a slow day. I was supposed to get calls from a couple businesses to which I submitted job applications, but no joy. I shall call some of them in the morning (yes, even though it's Saturday) and make inquiries.

slow day, and A Feast for Crows

Tried to buy newspaper since the weekend edition has job listings. Stupid machine ate my money, would not give me newspaper, and would not return my coins either. Am peeved.

*sulks*

Twiddled away at "The Sum of Things" a little this afternoon, in an effort to get Talin and Bren to An Cimhain sometime before the year ends. Talin is still so far in denial it's not even funny. This would irritate me more if he whined about it, but so far he's mostly ignoring the issue completely and trying to get on with his current plans... which, to be fair, he and Bren are carrying out in a sensible, reasonably successful fashion.

Found a copy of The Dark Tower at the library -- apparently enough time has passed so it's not constantly on hold. Will read it this weekend. Have no particular expectations one way or another re: quality, but I expect gore, pain, violence, and death, as well as some WTF weirdness. This is Stephen King, after all.

Finished A Feast for Crows yesterday. It is... very evident that it's only half the originally intended book. This is because George R. R. Martin is usually pretty good about keeping his chapters in an organized timeline, but here there kept being vague, longish gaps, where I suspect he originally had chapters relating to the characters who did not appear in this book. It made the story feel a little attenuated, which is odd for Martin. And he still leaves characters hanging off of cliffs at the end of the book, which is particularly irritating since I'm fairly sure they won't get closure in A Dance With Dragons, since that's just going to cover the characters who did not appear in this book. *grumble*

It's still a great book, though. The political scheming is a beautiful, beautiful thing. And I still hate Cersei, but with her POV sections it's hard not to pity her as well. She has a very skewed self-image and her particular form of tunnel vision makes it impossible for her to realize just how over her head she really is.

The magic continues to be elusive, dark, and dangerous as hell, which is exactly the way magic should be in a world like this. It's perfectly in key. I like that.
