Not that you could call what we have a romance.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.fictionpress.com/s/2544618/1/Rag_Love"&gt;Rag Love&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#160;:He wanted to immortalize their friendship, while she just wanted to change it. Could it be that both of them wanted the same thing all along?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hi!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;ve somehow managed to find time to go through some old links and post a plethora of new stories to the HPFF Favs page, below you&amp;#8217;ll find names and summaries for each so that you can simply use cntrl+f at &lt;a href="http://cosmopolitan411.webs.com/hpfffavs.htm"&gt;http://cosmopolitan411.webs.com/hpfffavs.htm&lt;/a&gt; to find them if I&amp;#8217;m not successful at linking (as I&amp;#8217;m a tad bit technologically inept, I&amp;#8217;m afraid).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Also, I&amp;#8217;ve added a forum where broken links can be reported since when I first made that page it was done so in quite a haste and I easily could have mucked something up. Feel free to report any and I will write a reply as soon as it&amp;#8217;s fixed!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Happy Holidays,&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Cosmo&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;xx&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;-----------&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Sirius/Hermione&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://grangerenchanted.com/enchant/viewstory.php?sid=2211"&gt;Pieces of You&lt;/a&gt;: Sirius escorts Hermione back to England at Harry's request.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;a href="http://grangerenchanted.com/enchant/viewstory.php?sid=2281&amp;amp;chapter=1"&gt;Back For Good&lt;/a&gt;: Hermione risks a part of her soul to bring Sirius back from the Veil. Will her sacrifice be for nothing? And what exactly has she given up, as Sirius finds himself amongst the living once more?&lt;br/&gt; &lt;a href="http://grangerenchanted.com/enchant/viewstory.php?sid=2110"&gt;A Passion for Portraits&lt;/a&gt;: It was ridiculous, of course. But... She couldn't seem to make her heart believe the same as her head.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;a href="http://grangerenchanted.com/enchant/viewstory.php?sid=2073"&gt;Carnations in White&lt;/a&gt;: She had no idea how she was going to tell Sirius what she had spent the whole night telling herself, but for the first time in years she felt hope, and the thrill that came with taking a chance.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;a href="http://grangerenchanted.com/enchant/viewstory.php?sid=2139&amp;amp;chapter=1"&gt;Concupiscence&lt;/a&gt;: tale about fulfilling desires and the consequences that may bring.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;a href="http://grangerenchanted.com/enchant/viewstory.php?sid=2974"&gt;For A Price&lt;/a&gt;: Sirius and Hermione "like to argue." A lot. Their friends decide it's time for a little conflict resolution.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;a href="http://grangerenchanted.com/enchant/viewstory.php?sid=2693"&gt;Giving In&lt;/a&gt;: She was his godson's best friend, taken, too young, too pure. And yet he couldn't make himself not want her. He wasn't sure how much longer he could resist.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;a href="http://grangerenchanted.com/enchant/viewstory.php?sid=2976"&gt;Party Games and Seduction Plays&lt;/a&gt;: Housewarming parties were all good and well, but Seduction plays were not something she wanted, really, she didn't. Well maybe she did, but not by him, not when she had a hard time resisting.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;a href="http://grangerenchanted.com/enchant/viewstory.php?sid=2067"&gt;Trapped&lt;/a&gt;: It was the first time she&amp;#160;saw him after the break up. She was supposed to be mad at him, hurt, but then why couldn't she keep her eyes off him? And why was he using every chance he had to talk to her? Was Charlie right? Was he really jealous? Did she really care?&lt;br/&gt; &lt;a href="http://community.livejournal.com/hermionebigbang/11564.html"&gt;Temporality&lt;/a&gt;: In order to prevent the destruction of the wizarding world, Hermione Granger goes back in time to work behind the scenes as a Black family cousin. However, she underestimates two very important factors: refashioning her life in a completely different reality&amp;#8230; and Sirius Black.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Draco/Hermione&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://grangerenchanted.com/enchant/viewstory.php?sid=741"&gt;Unspoken Rules Should Be Broken&lt;/a&gt;: Blaise, Hermione, and Draco shared a relationship, now Blaise is dead, and Hermione and Draco are confused as to where they stand with one another.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;a href="http://grangerenchanted.com/enchant/viewstory.php?sid=289"&gt;Faking It&lt;/a&gt;: &amp;#8220;That was ever so wicked of you, Granger.&amp;#8221; He whispered in her ear as his arms wrapped around her waist and dragged her into the nearest alcove. &amp;#8220;Faking it in front of the entire Great Hall...&amp;#8221; He bit her neck and made her shiver. &amp;#8220;And seeing those Gryffindorks horrified faces as their perfect little princess screamed my name over and over again&amp;#8230;&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://grangerenchanted.com/enchant/viewstory.php?sid=81"&gt;Five Things&lt;/a&gt;: The morning after the night before.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;a href="http://grangerenchanted.com/enchant/viewstory.php?sid=50"&gt;Just Admit it!&lt;/a&gt;: Hermione tried everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, to get Draco to say those three little words...kisses, purple scarves and other 'techniques'.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://grangerenchanted.com/enchant/viewstory.php?sid=2727"&gt;The Fight&lt;/a&gt;: &amp;#8220;I hate you,&amp;#8221; she whispered, then vanished with a resounding crack.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;a href="http://grangerenchanted.com/enchant/viewstory.php?sid=668"&gt;The Seer&lt;/a&gt;: Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was buzzing with the news of the newcomer in the nearby town, Hogsmeade. Shannara the Seer. Hermione never believed in divination, yet there is something about this seer that attracts her.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;a href="http://grangerenchanted.com/enchant/viewstory.php?sid=41"&gt;Unknown Love&lt;/a&gt;: When Draco and Hermione get together under assumed aliases, what will happen when they find out the truth?&lt;br/&gt; &lt;a href="http://hp.adultfanfiction.net/story.php?no=600022918"&gt;It Takes Two to Tango&lt;/a&gt;: His eyes, like always, were unfathomable. Hermione was in no way prepared to find him here, in Spain, thousands of miles from where he should rightfully be.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;a href="http://hp.adultfanfiction.net/story.php?no=600022989"&gt;Thanks for Playing&lt;/a&gt;: After being coerced into attending a five year reunion by Blaise, Draco finds himself tricked in a most pleasant way.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Charlie/Hermione&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;a href="http://hp.adultfanfiction.net/story.php?no=600022988"&gt;Chocolate Decadence&lt;/a&gt;: Hermione discovers many interesting new uses for Chocolate Decadence ice cream one late night at the Burrow. Who doesn&amp;#8217;t like a little unrestrained selfindulgence?&lt;br/&gt; &lt;a href="http://hp.adultfanfiction.net/story.php?no=600023458"&gt;An Unusual Profession&lt;/a&gt;: Hermione has decided to pursue an unconventional career. Where will it lead? To a breakthrough in a new area of magic? Or to the arms of a man who could break her heart?&lt;br/&gt; &lt;a href="http://hp.adultfanfiction.net/story.php?no=600020604"&gt;The Prototype&lt;/a&gt;: Wheezey Christmas: A Weasley Wheeze causes "trouble" for someone during Christmas? Who? What? The twins new invention is not what it seems. It pulls two people together on Christmas&lt;br/&gt; &lt;a href="http://community.livejournal.com/books_freckles/296461.html"&gt;A Matter of Opinion&lt;/a&gt;: Bill has a high opinion of himself. Too high.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;a href="http://phoenix257.livejournal.com/3593.html"&gt;Attention&lt;/a&gt;: &amp;#8220;Charlie, what the hell are you doing?&amp;#8221; &amp;#8211; &amp;#8220;Trying to get your attention.&amp;#8221;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;a href="http://community.livejournal.com/books_freckles/91240.html"&gt;Breakfast in Bed&lt;/a&gt;: After the Midsummer Bonfire, Hermione wakes up not only in Charlie Weasley's bed, but also to the apparent truth about their relationship.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;a href="http://community.livejournal.com/books_freckles/44642.html"&gt;To Tickle a Sleeping Dragon&lt;/a&gt;: Hermione finds herself fascinated...&lt;br/&gt; &lt;a href="http://community.livejournal.com/books_freckles/445937.html"&gt;Flirting with Ms. Granger&lt;/a&gt;: She was his brothers girlfriend...no, fiancee. But that was a long time ago. Have those wounds healed enough to let someone else in? After all, he worked with dragons for a living. How hard could it be to flirt with Hermione Granger?&lt;br/&gt; &lt;a href="http://community.livejournal.com/books_freckles/350142.html"&gt;Perfect Mistake&lt;/a&gt;: Career minded Hermione Granger has a one-night stand&amp;#8230;or so she thought.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;a href="http://community.livejournal.com/books_freckles/508867.html"&gt;There are always dragons&lt;/a&gt;: Charlie doesn't think Hermione knows how to have fun. [NOTE: link is to chapter 18 as it then has links to all previous chapters!]&lt;br/&gt; &lt;a href="http://heather11483.livejournal.com/73854.html"&gt;Jigsaw Falling Into Place&lt;/a&gt;: Hermione does something she might not regret as much as she thinks.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;a href="http://heather11483.livejournal.com/113359.html"&gt;In-Between Places &lt;/a&gt;: Charlie and Hermione are both adrift, but find that maybe they're not alone.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;a href="http://community.livejournal.com/books_freckles/20898.html"&gt;Hesitant&lt;/a&gt;: Charlie's determined, but Hermione's not so sure.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Fred/Hermione&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br/&gt; &lt;a href="http://community.livejournal.com/books_freckles/321692.html"&gt;A Textbook Too Many&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;a href="http://flyicarus.livejournal.com/22046.html"&gt;Discreet Observation&lt;/a&gt;: Unlike Ron&amp;#8217;s insinuations, Hermione doesn&amp;#8217;t ogle; she discreetly observes.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;a href="http://flyicarus.livejournal.com/21017.html"&gt;I Wasn't Prepared&lt;/a&gt;: On his birthday, Fred remembers a boggart and a proposal.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Blaise/Hermione&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://hp.adultfanfiction.net/story.php?no=600022990"&gt;The Zipper Incident&lt;/a&gt;: Hermione opened her eyes and found herself on eye level with his zipper. Now this is an awkward point of view, she thought. Hermione has an encounter in the Prefect's bathroom&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://hp.adultfanfiction.net/story.php?no=600022999"&gt;Dense&lt;/a&gt;: Hermione was sure it all started with Colin Creevey.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;a href="http://hp.adultfanfiction.net/story.php?no=600024346"&gt;Money for Nothing&lt;/a&gt;: Hermione should have known there is no such thing as a free lunch and that the road to Hell is paved with good intentions. When she agrees to help a friend out, she learns that &amp;#8220;money for nothing&amp;#8221; is a myth&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Harry/Hermione&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;a href="http://grangerenchanted.com/enchant/viewstory.php?sid=2666"&gt;Red Knickers&lt;/a&gt;: He has been told he is the best seeker of all time but can he catch her before someone else does?&lt;br/&gt; &lt;a href="http://heather11483.livejournal.com/20049.html"&gt;Perspective&lt;/a&gt;: None too late, Harry gets a reminder of how much Hermione means to him.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Cedric/Hermione:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;a href="http://silver-fics.livejournal.com/113479.html"&gt;Making Excuses&lt;/a&gt;: Despite what some people might suggest, he was not gay; having Hermione ask him out was almost like a pleasant sort of distraction.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Bill/Hermione&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br/&gt; &lt;a href="http://heather11483.livejournal.com/23088.html"&gt;Dress Code&lt;/a&gt;: Bill and Hermione sneak away from the party.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Adrian/Hemione&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br/&gt; &lt;a href="http://grangerenchanted.com/enchant/viewstory.php?sid=2682"&gt;Kairos&lt;/a&gt;: He had watched the swotty Gryffindor for years, jealously nursing his lust, and at last he would seize the chance to have her. &lt;br/&gt; &lt;a href="http://grangerenchanted.com/enchant/viewstory.php?sid=181"&gt;Memories Long Gone, but Never Forgotten&lt;/a&gt;: A tale of Adrian Pucey and Hermione Granger&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Cormac/Hermione&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br/&gt; &lt;a href="http://grangerenchanted.com/enchant/viewstory.php?sid=2747"&gt;Quidditch Through the Ages&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;i&gt;"I was sixteen! I was stupid and it wasn't the right time. I didn't know what I wanted, Cormac. I thought it was Ron, but I was wrong, okay? Why can't you just get over it?&amp;#8221;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Anthony/Hermione:&lt;br/&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;a href="http://grangerenchanted.com/enchant/viewstory.php?sid=2697"&gt;Defututa&lt;/a&gt;: Congenial, affable, intelligent, and handsome as the devil, Anthony Goldstein should have made the perfect Head Boy. At least everyone thinks so. Everyone except for the Head Girl. &lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Viktor/Hermione:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://heather11483.livejournal.com/25164.html"&gt;Reunited&lt;/a&gt;: When she sees Viktor again after more than four years, Hermione doesn't know what to expect.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hi!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee98/cosmopolitan411/Carousel2.png"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;font color="#008080"&gt;*image credited to Dayna of TDA*&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br type="_moz"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I've been utterly terrible about them, but with the addition of varsity crew to my other sports activities and the fact that I'm double majoring with a minor I've somehow forgotten writing. During my break I was planning on working on my stories when my computer went crazy on me and I almost wiped its memory trying to fix it, but a friend of mine has managed to save what I was working on so I am praying that inspiration will strike (especially since I'm also in a holiday story exchange on unknowable)!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Also, as for the recs pages, I do plan on updating them, possibly even this evening so keep an eye out for that!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;cosmo&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;xx&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Into the Dark: Update
</title>

				<description>
&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#008080"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee98/cosmopolitan411/snowwhite6.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#008080"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#008080"&gt;This is a story that I am incredibly fond of, but I cannot help, but be a bit dissapointed with it, most primarily due to the lackluster length of the chapters. I am goign to put this story on pause, give it a little time out, and go back to totally re-write it as I honestly believe that this will help reinvigorate it.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#008080"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#008080"&gt;I apologize for this for any fans, but the current state it's in really just leaves me uninspired.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Update on Statuses

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee98/cosmopolitan411/sleepingbeauty9.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;font color="#008080"&gt;hello, again, onto my story statuses now...&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;font color="#008080"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;font color="#008080"&gt;In Retrospect: As previously mentioned, the actual chapter
for this was somehow lost and I&amp;#8217;ve had to re-write the entire thing from
scratch. I&amp;#8217;ve actually managed to do so and it&amp;#8217;s with my beta right now, but I feel
a major rewrite/revise of this coming on, so give me a week to post it.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;font color="#008080"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;font color="#008080"&gt;Like a Romantic Comedy: Working on the penultimate moments
as we speak.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;font color="#008080"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;font color="#008080"&gt;Unearthed and Unnerved: as soon as I get &amp;#8220;Like a Romantic
Comedy&amp;#8221; out of the way this one is in queue, promise!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;font color="#008080"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;font color="#008080"&gt;Into the Dark: this one is actually already being worked on,
but I needed to take a break from it to finally force myself to re-write that &amp;#8220;In
Retrospect&amp;#8221; chapter, but I hope to have time to work on this soon&amp;#8230; I&amp;#8217;ll update
ASAP, but no promises as to when that &amp;#8220;as soon as&amp;#8221; will actually occur.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;font color="#008080"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;font color="#008080"&gt;I Know that You Sleep with My Boyfriend Redux: ah this one
probably won't come out until &lt;i&gt;after&lt;/i&gt; I
have the last chapters of LaRC and U&amp;amp;U up, I&amp;#8217;m afraid, but maybe that will
be soon&amp;#8230; if I&amp;#8217;m super duper lucky that is, and reviews are always a nice incentive,
too! ;)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

I do, however, hope to get back on track with updating and, if I am lucky, will have at least one vew chapter, &lt;i&gt;maybe &lt;/i&gt;even two, posted for each story within the next week, including the Redux of "Like a Romantic Comedy." I am setting my sights rather high with this goal, but hopefully I'll be able to achieve it.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#008080"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#008080"&gt;List of Duties:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#008080"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#008080"&gt;[&amp;#160; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#008080"&gt;&lt;font color="#993300"&gt;&lt;b&gt;x &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#008080"&gt;]&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#008080"&gt; Unearthed and Unnerved&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#008080"&gt;[&amp;#160; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#008080"&gt;&lt;font color="#993300"&gt;&lt;b&gt;x &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#008080"&gt;] Into the Dark&lt;font color="#800000"&gt;, also &lt;a href="http://www.last.fm/music/The+Jealous+Girlfriends/_/Something+in+the+Water"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; is the song used as inspiration for the chapter&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#008080"&gt;&lt;strike&gt;[ ] &lt;/strike&gt;&lt;strike&gt;In Retrospect&lt;/strike&gt;&lt;font color="#800000"&gt;&lt;strike&gt;: &lt;/strike&gt;an update of this will most probably not occur as I've actually LOST 3 scenes from this chapter and have to start again from scratch...&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#008080"&gt;[&amp;#160; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#008080"&gt;&lt;font color="#993300"&gt;&lt;b&gt;x &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#008080"&gt;]&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#008080"&gt; Like a Romantic Comedy&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#008080"&gt;[ &lt;font color="#993300"&gt;&lt;b&gt;x&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#008080"&gt;&lt;font color="#993300"&gt;&lt;b&gt;x&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#008080"&gt;&lt;font color="#993300"&gt;&lt;b&gt;x&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#008080"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#008080"&gt;] A Hundred Ways to Break a Heart&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#008080"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#008080"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#008080"&gt;Please leave a comment in case you have any special requests regarding the order of the stories, i.e. which you'd like to see update first!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#008080"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#008080"&gt;thank you, and sorry again for this terrible wait!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#800000"&gt;&lt;b&gt;NOTE&lt;/b&gt;: notes in maroon are notes made in progress, following the original post written in teal.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

What a Roll!

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee98/cosmopolitan411/specialfilling.gif"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#ff00ff"&gt;&lt;font size="1"&gt;*icon is acredited to Abyssica of TDA*&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#008080"&gt;so as I've been able to update "In Retrospect" [the second time in less than four days, thank you very much] I've decided thatit is about time to force myself to get the other stories underway, particularily "Into the Dark", so you can expect an update from this one soon!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#008080"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#008080"&gt;also, I really have to ask [in the case that anyone actually even reads these posts] what do people think of "In Retrospect" and, more particularily, the case taking place? Does it interest you? Is it a total waste of time and you're only in it for any Harry and Hermione action?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#008080"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#008080"&gt;that's all for now, feel free to check out the story requests page and make a fic request, I'm really in the mood to write some one shots as it is!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#008080"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#008080"&gt;thank you and adios!--hope i wasn't a total bore.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;font color="#993300"&gt;UPDATE: &lt;font size="2"&gt;well it seems as if my writing prowess is not as great as i'd originally hoped and i, inadvertantly, ended up writing another chapter for "In Retrospect", lol. Anyway, not sure when "Into the Dark" will be updated, but I can promise that "In Retropect" will be soon!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

An Update.
</title>
				<link>http://cosmopolitan411.webs.com/apps/blog/show/176253</link>
				<description>
&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee98/cosmopolitan411/sleepingbeauty6.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#008080"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"&gt;Like a Romantic Comedy:&lt;/span&gt; this story is
just terrible, simple as that. I would, however, like to give it a total
makeover, so please don't expect anything from this front for a while as I'm
still brainstorming over how I am going to go about doing it... rather mind-boggling,
really.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#008080"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#008080"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"&gt;In Retrospect:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;strike&gt;It's been too long
really, and, sadly, I only have a page written out as, for some baffling
reason, writer's block has struck with this fic. I know where I want to go and
how to get there, but the actually writing it out part seems to have left me at
a loss&lt;/strike&gt;. &lt;font color="#808000"&gt;&lt;strike&gt;I've finally managed to complete it [sat myself down and forced myself to write the damn ting already] and it's with my beta now so it's only a matter of when it'll be betad and then I will post it ASAP! :D&lt;/strike&gt; &lt;font color="#993300"&gt;&lt;b&gt;UPDATED&lt;/b&gt;, and I'm currently working on the thirteenth chapter as I feel so guilty about the wait for the last one [sorry, again!]&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#008080"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#008080"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"&gt;Unearthed and Unnerved:&lt;/span&gt; this story
just makes me sad, honestly. I genuinely like it, but having received about 7 reviews
on average per chapter has just made m a bit depressed, I suppose, as it makes
me wonder if it's even any good or worth continuing.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#99cc00"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#993300"&gt;Anyway, there's my quick update, but if you have any questions feel&lt;br/&gt;
free to
leave a comment and I'll immediately address it.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
