New hair + fic recs

[winter]

Frst of all, I spent 3 hours at the hairdresser's yesterday, getting new highlights done. Way more mocha, with a hint of titian, and here's hoping the darker colour holds this time. Before, I had the hair in the icon - cinnamon/copper depending on lighting.

Now it looks like this:



Recommendation the first: A few weeks ago, guede_mazaka posted a random snippet of an extremely dark Harry torturing Lucius, the first thing I've seen her write for HP ever. I (and others) pleaded and begged until she wrote a little bit more. The rest, as they say, is history.

The Black Road - Epic, amazing, terribly dark and yet making so much sense in the way that perfect tragedy does. Harry is dead, but he's back, with a contract with Lucifer and an agenda that terrifies even the most seasoned Death Eaters. Lucius features prominently, so does Draco, Snape, Sirius, a heartbreaking Remus, and a host of other characters damaged by the war, but still so much themselves. If you only read one Harry Potter fic this year, let it be this one.

Recommendation the second: alighiera finally posted that Coldfire thing! *squees* Probably won't make much sense unless you've read the books, though.

Recommendation the third: fyrie did it again. More Tanz/Buffy fic, this time without brain-breaking vampire domination (don't worry, the next part makes up for it), but with an utterly adorable semi-original character whom I've had the honour of naming. (I also picked VK's last name in that one. Canon has him as Alfred, but Johannes fits him much better, don't you think?)

Y'know, I don't know how I do it, but I seem to have a sixth-sense for picking friends who all look very similar :D Just had to randomly observe that :D

Pah. I'm a unique and beautiful snowflake, I'll have you know :P

Since I'm new here...

Only when it's discreet ;)

Ooh, pretty.

[winter]

Thankee :) Nearly fell asleep in the bloody hairdresser's chair, too...

Oooh, shiny!

[winter]

Isn't it? :) And the dye didn't damage my hair, either!

[reynardine.livejournal.com]

Ooooh, nice job on the color!

[winter]

My hairdresser's really amazing with colour. Once it washes through a teensy bit, people keep asking me if it's natural, it all mingles so well :)

Lovely, lovely hair. And lovely, lovely Beth. ~__^

Thankee :D And see, I'm thin now! Well, maybe not thin, but not overweight by any measure...

Nice hair :-)
Will go and read the Tanz/Buffy fic right now - it's exactly what I need after a long session doing my own writing.

Excellent! And especially Dawn teasing Herbert - she knows how to handle him really well!

I think I like it better this way than the other way :) Brunette suits you.

[winter]

Thanks :) My natural colour is dark ash blonde, but I've got ridiculously dark lashes and eyebrows plus pale skin, so I maintain I'm really a brunette at heart...

No time for readin the HP fic you've linked to yet, but thank you already for it, it looks gorgeous, plus anything with SeverusxSirius can't be bad ♥

[winter]

It really IS gorgeous. guede_mazaka's mind is a scary place indeed.

Mmm, nice!

Mmmmm highlights... *loves her own red ones, which she needs to have redyed soon*
*attacks to your hair with a brush and refuses to let go*

[winter]

The only bad thing about highlights is the amount of time needed to put them in. It takes almost two hours just to put all the silver foil in my hair!

[pinkdormouse.livejournal.com]

Excellent hair.

[winter]

Thanks :)

[imadra-blue.livejournal.com]

Ooo, I like th hair and the red in it. Very pretty! :)

[winter]

Thanks :) The red will get a little more subtle in a few days - here's hoping the dark brown stays in this time, though, last time it washed out within two weeks for some reason ~_~

[atheva]

Looks great, Beth. And since my man isn't around to read it, very HOT!

[winter]

:D

Mm, pretty hair! I see you look more fit, sexy beast! xD How's the diet going? :3 I can see it's going fantastic, but you can brag about it if you want to - here. :D
^^
Would you like meeting up in a korean restaurant some time in the near future? :)

[winter]

Heh, diet's going brilliantly :D I'm eating so many greens, it's a wonder I haven't turned into a rabbit yet, and I keep going into clothes shops, trying on size 38 clothes and laughing manically. I still want to lose a fair bit off my waist, but it's easy going now.

Korean sounds brilliant :) I'm scot-free from April 1st on in, apart from April 7th.

Thanks for the rec!

By the way, was attempting to think of a way to boot your Vlad and Gabriel into action. How about promising to do something interesting with Lucius and suspenders and reuniting with Harry if Vlad does something interesting to Gabriel's snooty 'brothers'?

Also, sweet hair:)
