    Title: It's the Hair
    Author: tli
    Rating: T
    Genre: Romance/Humor
    DLP Category: Romance (though it could arguable go into Humor/Parody too)
    Pairing: Harry/Luna
    Status: Oneshot
    Summary: Harry and Luna ask the Room of Requirement to show them something interesting. Contains a pairing that I like - HarryLuna, a pairing that makes no sense, and a very silly incantation.
    Link: FFN

    Well written H/L one-shot, with a few not-so-subtle digs at a pairing everybody likes to demonize. Of course, the author goes and screws it up by making it almost work. Never thought I'd see that, really.

    Aw man, when I clicked on this thread I thought the title was 'It's hair.' For a fleeting moment there, I thought this would be a Pokemon story about Brendan's hat-hair.

    I am disappoint. D:

    Fluffy, but not really sickeningly so. It's readable. Pretty short, though. I'd say 3.5/5, rounded up to 4/5.

    Too much tell, not enough show with the H/L portion, and the Hr/DM was atrocious.

    The spell incantation was the only redeeming bit.

    2/5 for canon-like Harry and Luna.

    Malfoy and Hermione? Do not want.

    That's just as bad as Harry and Malfoy, or Harry and Snape. :facepalm

    Eh. Decent enough, without being particularly brilliant in any respect for the majority of it. Got to admit though, I laughed hard at this:

    3/5

    It was all tell and no show. The romance was ham-handed and in the case of Hr/D, atrocious. The writing was nothing special, and I didn't think anyone was particularly close to being IC. The funny moments I didn't find funny.

    2/5
