Fic: 'State of Independence' [HP, Percy/Cedric/Oliver, Penny, NC-17.]
Once upon a time, there was fic. The fic was started in February of 2005, and the author (yours truly) really liked the idea, even though he thought it was decidedly close to the wire.
However, after starting said fic, said author realised he needed to work out what had gone before, and so, pretentiously, he wrote prequels.
The prequels [Man of the Hour and The Invisible Man] dealt (in part) with Percy Weasley's school life, to wit: having a stick up his arse, but you don't have to read them first.
This fic has changed a lot since I started writing it; I am tempted to make some kind of wanky pretentious endnotes on what the original ending was supposed to be, and all of that, but for now I shall desist. Thanks tocharlotteschaos for being interested in the original draft, emcue for quote advice, folk and nopejr for encouragement and florahart for the extensive and extremely good beta. It's label is somewhat true, and somewhat not: there is Percy/Cedric and Percy/Oliver and Cedric/Oliver and Percy/Penny and Penny/Oliver, amongst other things.
A warning: 16,000 words long, it is rated NC-17 for a reason, and yes, is set after Goblet of Fire.
The inspirations that went into the fic are diverse; songs including Garbage's 'Bleed Like Me', The Pretender's 'Human' and 'State of Independence', and books like Gabriel Garcia Marquez's 'One Hundred Years of Solitude.' Consider it my magical fantasy, if you will.
This was supposed to be the Christmas present ofbabyofthegroup but I ran out of time. Anyway, Merry (late) Christmas Drew!
Summary: Sometimes, Percy Weasley discovers, ghosts come back broken.
