Ahh, Light on the Dark Side of Me ♥ I understand your hesitation to re-read it. I flicked through it again a few months ago, and while i still really enjoyed it, my reaction to it wasn't quite as emotional. Possibly because since reading it for the first time, I've read so many other fics, and the quality of writing in the Snarry fandom is SO high that some older fics can't quite compete. I don't like it any less, I think i've just come to like other fics more. Does that make sense? But like you, it'll always have a special place in my heart, and I still adore the story's unique depiction of Snape's experiences as a Death Eater. Those scenes will stay with me forever.

I'm embarrassed to admit, I still haven't read Morior Animus! I kind of stopped reading over the past 6 months because writing was taking up all of my time. I'm considering taking a bit of a break from writing in the first half of this year, in part because my to-read list is getting ridiculously long.

Other thoughts: that Thranduil cosplay music video is amazing! Seeing fans put so much hard work into expressing their love for a character is really inspiring.
I'd never seen Toil ‘n Trouble before! Thanks for reccing it :)

Don't be too hard on yourself re. PI's fics. I probably haven't helped, talking them up so much and making them sound like The Greatest Stories Ever! I love them, but everyone's tastes are different (yes, I'm sure even our tastes must be a bit different in some ways!) So if I've added to any pressure you might feel when it comes to reading them, I apologise! There's nothing wrong with waiting until the time feels right to give them a try. And if you do eventually decide to read one, I'd recommend Rose & Fire first, because it has a lot of characteristics you enjoy in Snarry. It was PI's first fic, and she's said she doesn't think it's perfect, but there's a lot about it I love. Anyway, I'll stop rambling on your page now :D
