All caps and icons are mine. The caps have been hanging around my harddrive for nearly a year now, waiting to be iconned, so it's high time I got on and did it.

Some may resemble icons from my other Richard Harmon post, and I apologise if they do.
I have more than this, but LJ is being a giant douche, so I couldn't post them all at once. Because fail, that's why.

That would be because I have ME. It's a scarily common disease, and it's also kind of shitty, and I am now blogging about it over on
living_with_cfs. I mention this because for such a common disease, hardly anyone seems to have heard of it, and I'm kind of sick of explaining it to people. The blog was originally just going to be for me, as a kind of diary to prove to myself that I'm actually getting better, but when I was making it, I was like "Hey, people might actually find this a helpful and informative thing."So. There you go. If you have any interest in the disease whose prime function seems to be making life really boring, hie yourself over there. I'll try to actually keep up some kind of activity on it.
And I'm sorry if you're one of those like two people who've seen me announce this three times now.
Chapter Title: Getting Under My Skin
Fandom: Harry Potter (Marauder's Era AU)
Characters/pairings: Mainly Severus/Laura (OFC), with background Lily/James. Largely focused (in this chapter) on Lily.
Warnings: AU. Um... possibly swearing later on? I don't know, it seems like a very PG fic.
Disclaimers: Harry Potter belongs to J.K. Rowling and Bloomsbury Publishing. Laura is my friend Tina's. And the title is from the Mumford & Sons song After The Storm.
Summary: Since they first met, Severus Snape's life has revolved around one person; Lily Evans. And she's decided to change all that... by setting him up with someone else.
A/N: ...and I made myself cry. Yay.

That needs to be a poster.
I hope you and everyone around you will get it easier over time!
1) Boring stuff - the feelingless Aspie doesn't exist - it's a made up trope by Hollywood, which sucks. Aspies feel all the emotions, we just have trouble working out…
