• Borders' Water For Elephants book club is up! Sara Gruen is delightful and everyone should go watch! Be warned: It includes spoilers for the full plot of the book. If you haven't read the book, go read - you're done with Deathly Hallows, after all - and then watch.
  
  
• I'm shamelessly smitten with, and easily amused by, the Harry Potter Puppet Pals. The most recent addition to the archive is Harry Potter Puppet Pals - The Mysterious Ticking Noise. "Snape. Snape. Severus Snape. Dumbledore!"
  
  
• I want to go to Prophecy.
  
  
• Nine more fic recs set during or post Deathly Hallows
  
  • Summer Holidays by penknife (Hermione, gen) Summary: After saving the world, it's time to figure out what to do next. Post-Deathly Hallows. An absolutely stunning story. Just beautiful and utterly Hermione.
    
  • seven photographs by casirafics (multiple characters, gen) From casira: This fic intersects the final chapters of Deathly Hallows and treads into the space before the epilogue... It's raw and serene and haunting all at once.
    
  • The Rules of Being A Godson by copperbadge (Teddy Lupin/James Potter, PG-13) Summary: Teddy Lupin never gets too close or feels too much; his godfather's son never does anything else. Lovely story from Teddy's POV with art by elaboration in the first part. (3 parts, complete).
    
  • Quiet Steps by florahrt (George, gen) Summary: He's not ready to be around happy people yet. Quiet and sweet and a bit heartbreaking.
    
  • Spook by xparrot (Fred, George, gen) Proof that Fred and George will always be FredandGeorge. This is a much needed laugh.
    
  • Is this the moment? by reallycorking (Art: Harry, Hermione, Ron, G) "'Is this the moment?'Harry asked weakly..." Perfect, perfect, perfect.
    
  • Indomitable by furiosity (Harry/Draco, Harry/Ginny, R) Summary: "Nineteen years later, life goes on." Set immediately following the end of the DH epilogue. This is the kind of story that gives me hope for what's to come post DH.
    
  • It's a Start by inell (Harry, Dudley, gen) "He hadn’t asked how she’d got it because he was too relieved that he wouldn’t have to ask someone and risk bringing attention to the family the wizarding world forgot he had. Hermione understood that, too, since she was still weighing the decision of bringing her parents back from the life they’d built for themselves in Australia, happy and content without a daughter they didn’t remember, or just leaving them there in peace even if it meant losing them." Harry finds the Dursleys.
    
  • The Debt by iscaris (Harry/Draco, R) AU from just before the epilogue and still a WIP but it's the kind of story that will have me refreshing constantly until there's more.
  
  
  
  
• I am stressed for about 394574839 things that I'll spare you except to say that I'm either going to medicate myself with tylenol pm or wine to get to sleep tonight. I really need to get my ass to the gym.
  
  ETA: Zachary Quinto, Sylar on Heroes, has been confirmed to play young Spock in the upcoming Star Trek movie. Nimoy will cameo. Awesome casting.
