Mostly Harmless! Though I have to admit, I'm even stranger than I appear. ;-) There's a pile of unbeta'd stuff on my LJ (dracfic) if you're interested in Raw, Untamed, fanfic.
Believe it or not, "How Argus Filch Got Wild, Got Laid, and Got His Magic" has been rec'ed by Know It Alls! It's true! They gave me this pretty lil' ribbon and everything! And in March 2007, they saw fit to likewise reccommend (as an antidote to angst) the story that started it all, 'Courtesy of Your Fairy God-Jarvey'--just in time for the first anniversary of that story's posting! *hugs Harm*
(I also have to admit that 'mostly harmless' may not be the most apt description of a member of the Mad Chatters...)
Finally, I just have to say... Storyville. If you were there, you know what I mean.Reviews for Veritas or Something Like It
Scorpius is adorable in his acceptance and loyalty. And I don't agree with your verdict that Harry and Draco are too messed up for a relationship to work, I only think the timing is crucial. I don't think it will happen before all Harries children have left home and Rose and Scorpius are married. But I hope that at that time both their ex-spouses can convince them they both deserve some happiness with each other.

Scorpius is a joy :)And I must be quite firm on this, since I am unlikely to write any more on the subject: Harry and Draco are quite done. Draco has matured to the point that he realizes any feelilngs he had in that regard were as a result of his youthful hang-ups, and he is a healthier, better person with Harry at arm's-length. Lonelier, perhaps, but happier; he is himself. He is strong. He realizes, to his embarrassment, that he was using Harry to validate himself, and never was truly in love. So he's done the mature thing; no Snitch was caught, but the game has been called. (And never in my life have a felt stranger about being proud of a fictional character!)
Poor Draco, while Asteria has her Gus, Draco can not have the one he loves, it would take a miracle. Scorpius is right, his parents are very brave, just not for the reasons he thinks he knows.

Yes, that's one that wasn't going to work as a 'relationship' in any universe--they're both too messed up. Fortunately, the adults in Scorpius' life manage to put aside their issues and do their best by him.
