Why this must be read:
I know at the beginning of the month I promised no H/D (sorry!). But if you’re not an H/D fan, I assure you that H/D is not the focus of this fic- it’s there, but it’s not the point. His Belongings is really a Ron-centric Harry/Ron fic.
From a strictly canon perspective, Ron is my favorite character in HP. In the books he’s funny, insecure and, I always felt, far more flawed and human (up until OoTP, that is) than our dear Harry. I love the way JKR writes him. Fanonwise, though, he’s actually more difficult to capture than you might think. Even in the best fics, Ron’s character rarely comes off as perfectly crystal clear as it does in the books. And while this fic is not what you would call light and amusing- we’re talking about angsty!Ron here- I think Penelope Z has just about nailed Ron’s character. Who he is, his place in the world, his relationship with Harry, they all ring very true to me. Besides that, the imagery in it is wonderful, and the last line…guh. So if you are a Ron fan (and even if you’re not) I urge you to read this. Now.
His Belongings
And, because I can never just rec one thing per post, I should tell you that there’s a wonderful companion piece to this, set in the middle of His Belongings, Corridors and Stairs. It has some Draco/Ron in there, just to let you know.
