website is down, but here’s her
ff.net profile Why this must be read: Cairnsy is best known for kind of serious, Percy-centric fics (which are quite good- check them out!!). This story isn’t typical of most of her stuff, as she
claims that she doesn’t write humor well- but don’t believe her.
In the mood for something short and light and funny as hell? Look no further, folks.
Coming out of the closet is a theme that pops up frequently in slash fanfiction. It seems to be especially prevalent in the Harry Potter fandom, perhaps because of the young age of a lot of the characters. But because the HP books are a fantasy series, authors also get to explore possible attitudes of the wizarding world toward homosexuality. One can write the wizarding world as extremely homophobic, extremely tolerant, or just the same as the muggle world. I’ve seen in written believably a lot of different ways.
That said, you’ve never seen a reaction to coming out the closet quite like this one…
( 'Nuts. His entire family was nuts…' )Even if you don’t like Percy/Oliver or have no interest in them whatsoever, check this out anyway, because it’s not really a relationship fic. I think you’ll enjoy it. Hee.
Out of the closet, into the frying pan
