Fic Stats, and a Shameful Shipping Confession
These are the stats for my ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hpde_smutathon piece which I'm dead determined to drop on the betas by the end of April, as promised! Wish me luck ;).
I've also just realised that I'm quite fond of Harry/Hermione as a pairing. Not in the rabid-shipper! mode, of course, but if it's handled well (i.e. not based on sudden great passions or physical attraction), it has a nice dynamic. They balance each other out and neither over-shadows the other. Both have their issues they feel passionately about, they're well-matched power-wise (Hermione's brains, and Harry's power/instinct), they genuinely like and trust each other and work well together. For a post-war, long-term relationship, I can see H/Hr working a lot better than R/Hr (who're dead cute as squabbling teenagers in love and - unless H/Hr - have chemistry, but I can't see them living comfortably together).
Of course my ideal trio-solution would be H/R and Hr/V (or, in my own little fanon paradise, a Lucius/trio foursome), but as far as het ships go, Harry/Hermione is pretty decent. I don't feel any signs of paranoia yet that JKR is personally out to ruin my life by not including it in HBP, but from time to time it's fun to write/hint at it.
