Life with a fanfic pusher

stgulikMy darling groom of 23 years supports my hobby of HP fan fiction, likes to hear all about it, likes to debate the finer points of an author's plot as I describe it, but has politely refused to read any fanfic himself.
"It's obviously interesting to you," he says, "but I like the series so much, I don't want to read about things that could never have happened in the original story line." Born for canon fic, this boy is.
But tonight I finally found a work that seems to have what he's looking for - a solid, T-rated adventure story with no AU and no implausable ships. He got so interested, I signed him up and put the story on his new Alerts page. He's sprinting through it even as I write.
See ... it allllll starts with one story. Soon, he will become hooked like the rest of us ...

"Psst... yeah, you... the one who refuses to read fanfic. I got a juicy one here for you."
*waves it in the victim's face* "Did you read that tidbit there? Yeah, you want more, don't ya?" (evil laughter ensues)
