Potter looked up, but did not rise from his chair. ‘Murder, Malfoy?’ he asked in a defeated voice. ‘After everything that happened, you finally kill someone and it isn’t even me?’

"So. What. So you cry. You cry over those awful commercials with the shelter animals and you cry when your fuckhead of a father says terrible, horrible things and you cry when another black man is shot during a traffic stop. That doesn't make you weak."

"Here, pour me one too. Thanks. No; one doesn’t feel exactly Priapic, when one’s captain is always rousting one up at half past madman o’clock, to go hunt a whale that only wants to be left alone."

I had hoped that he would be forced to ask for an explanation of "Priapic", but, to my chagrin, he understood from the context.

“Well, you cannot expect me to just leave you to die of exhaustion,” he said, lifting his left eyebrow at the man in return. “I had already paid you for services you had not rendered and I am sure that the local gossips would’ve seen something rude in my looting your corpse to retrieve my money.”

“They may take my hands. They may take my neck. They may do nothing; neither amputation nor death did much to stop my ancestor. In the end, his stories are the most powerful of all. The opening I have made in the tale is minuscule, a mere crack – but I delude myself. A leak in the dyke. Eventually it will fill the world.

Mytho and Rue agreed. A story completed remains static; they have had twenty years to be happy and bored. Mytho said that he had heart enough to spare.

She is character and duck and girl. That is why I love her. But because she is character and duck and girl, I – We will see. Glory over happiness.”

6. THE DRUMMER GIRL PUPPET

Painted wood, charred.

Legless, the puppet is about two feet tall. The head is intact and the eyes have been painted shut, with long lashes. The drumskin is gone but the cylindrical shell is mostly unharmed although blackened. The body is hollow. Stored inside the puppet is the typewritten draft of a novelette by Knight whose final version appears in Tutu: The Short Stories. The final line goes like this: “And Uzura kept on drumming and saying 'zura, zura' and living happily for as long as she wanted. But the day came when she chose to sleep. And she did.”

Himemiya considers for a moment. “Did you ever hear about the man who wanted to kill demons?”

“Once upon a time,” Utena mutters.

“He fought and fought,” said Himemiya, “until he couldn't fight anymore, and all the while, he shouted, 'I must kill the demons!' Then he heard a voice, and the voice said, 'no, John. You are the demons.”

“What a twist,” says Utena flatly.

Himemiya regards her placidly. “And then John became a zombie.”

As you get out of the Lincoln the kid asks you why her Uncle Slick is always getting arrested. Crowbar tells her it’s because he’s an ignoramus. The kid says she thought it was ‘cause he’s a gangster. You give her a sharp look. That’s crap, you say. Of course he’s a gangster, you say, but he ain’t ever gotten arrested for being a gangster, and he’s not about to start now that he’s not a gangster anymore. You say you won’t tolerate talk like that from someone who lives under your roof. The kid says she’s sorry. She’s a good kid.

In the middle of the Adirondack forest, among the vaguely Narnian pavilions and luxuriously flowing robes, a visibly pasted-on fuchsia beard is not quite enough to make Peixes blend in. Burning Wizard participants react as if a Blingee demon has crashed their thesis defense.

She never calls you Dualscar or even your real name, Cronus. It’s always “writerbitch” or “kiddo” or “Enoby” or, on days when she’s feeling less charitable, “fuckwad”. Most of the appellations she gives you are fairly self-explanatory, except for Enoby. You have no idea what the significance of that is, and you haven’t been able to work up the guts to ask her. You made the mistake of asking the Grand Highblood once. Instead of giving you an answer, he laughed uproariously and made a cryptic remark about leather fishnets, which you’re pretty sure are not things that exist in reality.

She googles date ideas on her phone, mumbling page titles as she sees them.

“'It's time for fun, quality time with your husband.'” She looks to Cunty, as if expecting a remark. “It has 50 ideas. ONE of them has to be relevant to me, a butch with a priss to impress.” the feline blinks slowly, which apparently Amethyst takes as a 'go for it'.

“Idea 5, 'Getting Physical on the Living Room Floor', Working out and exercising together? Are you kidding me? And 6, going birdwatching? Is that a joke???” Cunty gets up, walking towards the kitchen.

“Wait no come back! There's nothing wrong with birdwatching, it's just not very romantic!” The feline trills in response from the other room, and Amethyst returns to her phone screen. The list goes on, seeming to get more and more ridiculous with each idea.

17. Forage for Mushrooms Together.

“FORAGE FOR MUSHROOMS? IS THIS REAL? Is this what heterosexuals do?!”

If an in-character sporking counts as a fanfic:

Albus: No, it is not at all as if I have enemies in canon, especially ones with a great deal of influence in the Ministry, such as Lucius Malfoy. After all, I am the universally adored Headmaster of Hogwarts (with no other titles), I stride about with flaming red-gold letters spelling out “I FAVOR GRYFFINDOR” hovering above my head, and my personality (or persona, if the author favors that) consists of nothing but twinkling and smiling kindly at everyone. Slytherin alumni, as everyone knows, are persecuted, hapless waifs holding no power whatsoever (unless they follow Voldemort, in which case their affiliation with him is widely known and everyone not possessed of the label of Corrupt Government Member righteously shuns them), despite coming from a House whose primary traits are cunning, resourcefulness, and ambition, because it is obvious to every reader of the books that they never exercise said traits beyond the minimal level needed to survive their heartless, unending persecution by those terrible Gryffindors. (Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, of course, do not exist except when the author is in need of a minor character.) Oh, the tragedy of it all. *lightly fans self*

Gellert: On a slightly different topic, the only magical schools of any importance in Europe are Hogwarts and Beauxbatons. (The author may decide to create a school in Japan or America, of course; if particularly attentive to canon, the author may even remember the existence of the Salem Witches’ Institute.) Durmstrang, when remembered, consists entirely of one Viktor Krum. In fact, it would simplify matters greatly if the fandom stopped theorizing as to the location of Durmstrang and acknowledged that it is located in the obscure country of Krumlandia.

Mattimeo, Tess, Tim, and Sam each placed a paw on the planchette and it began to move to the letters carved around the board.

“G,” Tess read off as the triangular peace of wood slid back and forth. “E, T.”

“B, A, C, K,” Mattimeo continued.

“T, O.” Time read.

“B, E, D.” Sam finished.

That was the problem with Hamilton – he could be charming when he wished it, and the man was a chameleon, all things to all people. When you were with Hamilton everything seemed possible, and before you knew it you were running stark naked through a British encampment, saying awful things about the meagre proportions of the King’s manly parts, and inviting them all to pleasure you orally.

The next day he’d bring you your coffee as if nothing had happened. Or so General Washington had told him.

I'm trying not to just quote the whole damn fic, but have a choice snipper from one of my all-time fave girl genius fanfics, de-jägerified because I know some people here have problems parsing that:

“Well, who's to know?” the fisherman shrugged. “Count got shanked pretty good by a swan 'fore the Baron got to him. Now his nephew's the new count. New count's not sparky, though, he's just a lazy fop. Spends all his time in Pest, like he's too good for us.” The fisherman scoffed. “In my day, nobility used to mean something. Now it's all 'oh, I don't want to live here, the dining room's haunted and the ducks raid the kitchens every day for bread'! Phooey, I say. Face those feathered bandit hordes like a man deservin' of a title.”
