Look Mun, if I knew the term 'come to Jesus talk', I'd use it here.

We need to have a talk about these alternate universes and 'pee-ess-els' you're so fond of. There's nothing wrong with settling into a nice, quiet life as an auror, getting married to Ginny, and having a moderate number of children. That's what I'm supposed to do.

That's the reasonable thing to do.

And have a horrible AU where Harry was raised as Dick Grayson

[dickandharry]

You sure you wanna be part of a timeline where you named a kid Albus Severus?

[thebreakingwave]

That's a bit, ah, unwieldy.

[dickandharry]

Not as unwieldy as Albus Percival Wulfric Brian, but yeah, it's definitely up there. And admittedly, it's not as bad as what Malfoy named his son. Still wondering if Draco's a closet Farscape fan.

[alwaysfaithful]

PSLs? What are they?

[Oh, Chris. Don't ask questions to that sort of thing.]

[aperfectthird]

I'm not particularly wild about them, either.

...oh, Merlin, mine is giggling. I hate it when she giggles.

[thebreakingwave]

I wouldn't know, but I'm trying to keep to one side of the fourth wall.

[thebreakingwave]

That's never a good sign.

Right? I mean, we should both be very stern and serious about this.

[dropdeadweasley]

Oh, it's reasonable. Know how to make a girl feel right special, don't you, Harry?

[aperfectthird]

At least if we're being serious, we can maintain some modicum of dignity about the situation.

[...the joke is, of course, that he lost all of his dignity ages ago. Not that he'll ever admit it.]

[thebreakingwave]

That's part of the problem. She's really lovely and deserves someone who doesn't think about being reasonable.

[thebreakingwave]

I think we might've moved beyond that.

[aperfectthird]

One never moves beyond having some dignity, Potter, no matter what the circumstances.

And have an AU 5th Year Harry

[seeker_of_the_century]

Or you could settle down as Professor of DADA and marry Hermione, as is the only logical thing to do.

[thebreakingwave]

Is it? I don't know. I keep seeing all these things going on in AUs and I'm starting to wonder.

in which I'll get to that meme eventually someday ACTUALLY

[oedipusrat]

Sometimes the reasonable thing that you're supposed to do is no fun at all, and doing the opposite of that is the better choice.

there's no hurry and no worry! (pee ess - do you have plurk?)

[thebreakingwave]

You would say that.

Which isn't to say that you're wrong, you know.

[wasthemaster]

Reasonable, yes, but when have you ever heard of a mun being reasonable? [Shut up, Draco, just because you're mad at yours...] Maybe your mun just doesn't believe in feeding the oedipal complex.

[thebreakingwave]

...yes, well, the less said about that particular issue the better.

[Fine Draco, just because you have a valid point doesn't mean he has to like it.]

[wasthemaster]

I mean I personally find it hilarious. [But then he pauses, almost considering him for a moment. Surprise, Potter, someone's grown up a little bit after being forced into various games.] Granted, since when have you ever really wanted to do what you're supposed to do?

[thebreakingwave]

[Harry raises a hand in mock surrender.]

And yet, I still go on with it anyway, but I don't think that's fair to Ginny.

[He's still not in the equation.]

[wasthemaster]

Since when is this about being fair?

[thebreakingwave]

It's not, but maybe it should be.

[wasthemaster]

Don't you ever get bored with being selfless?
