Looking for a Potter Fic
06-27-2010, 02:18 PM
I read this a couple years back, best as I can recall, enjoyed it and wanted to rec it over on TVTropes, but I can't bring title or author to mind now: a short Weasley-oriented pre-Philosopher's Stone story focused on one of the twins, who seems not to be a twin at all, though still a prankster. The story ends with him essentially creating the other twin as a prank on his family.
Sound familiar?

Yes, I've read that. Unfortunately, I don't remember the title offhand either, and it was enough of a "horror" piece that I don't think I kept it in my "stories I'm reading"/"stories I've read" links-and-status list.

Okay, I'm going to bump this thread, because I'm still unable to identify or locate this fic. Does it sound familiar to anyone?

I remember it being recced through one of our numerous rec threads HERE. So an archive dive might do you well.

I remember a garden gnome of some sorts that's used somehow in that story.

I remember reading it. It did come form one of the recs on this forum. Some tries with the forum search gives no results though. Stupid useless Yuku search.
E: "Did they... did they just endorse the combination of the JSDF and US Army by showing them as two lesbian lolicons moving in together and holding hands and talking about how 'intimate' they were?"
B: "Have you forgotten so soon? They're phasing out Don't Ask, Don't Tell."

Did you try Google with "site:drunkardswalkforums.yuku.com" (sans quotes) as one of the search terms?

Doesn't really find anything. I tried. (With "fred", "george", "twin" and "potter" in various combinations.)

Yes indeed, that's it! Thanks!
And nah, that message wasn't overly long. You have nothing to worry about.
