A Bit of Thanks and a Fic Rec

It's just a few hours until we meet the pet sitter and then hit the road for our 5 hour drive. I've largely recovered from my snit over the pet sitter. I typed up, um, eight pages of notes. Hopefully things will go smoothly.

Amongst other things, I'm thankful that I finally starting participating in this fandom rather than just lurking. It's been great fun, and already full of rewarding friendships. Has anyone told you ladies lately that you're awesome?

Finally, to a fic. rec. A few months ago I spent DAYS looking for this story. I almost posted here the other day to ask it if anyone could help me find it again, but Ashwinder was down. Then, lo and behold, the WIKTT email group made mention of it. So, I recommend to you The Lioness Prophecies by amr. Written in the days before HBP (though posted after its release), it contains Pureblood!Snape, a prophecy, and evil!Dumbledore. There's a lot to love in this fic. It's quite well-written, contains some Slytherin scheming and a virginal but mature and smart Hermione.

Take care, and have a happy Thanksgiving if you're here in the States.
