    This fic is annoying. I was looking for some femslash stuff when I found this. It started off as a reasonably interesting femslash romance fic and then because shit about a quarter of the way in.

    The problem is pretty much Umbridge in it becoming comically evil. Her actions just start to seem insane. For example she locks up Fleur (who for plot reasons is working at Hogwarts) like a prisoner in her room, 24/7. Then Hermione and other characters completely brush off her actions. Fleur ends up stunned with no memories and Hermione (after the necessary relationship stuff) doesn't give it a second thought.

    I'm going to give it a 2.5/5 rounded down. I don't even know why I'm posting it here. I guess it pissed me off.

    Edit:
    It actually got worse. I don't know how a fic that started out promising could nosedive so quickly.

    And worse.

    So.. Just a question. Why did you submit it for review?

    I get that you posted it to almost rec. But your review seems to indicate that its total garbage and has no redeeming quality other than the fact that it started out interesting.

    Well, as you said, it's not for review. This is the sort of thing I'd have dropped with a few lines in the old almost rec thread but we don't do that anymore. So here it is instead.

    And that's why Trash should be open.

    People have a tendency to get upset when they find their stories sitting in our trashbin.

    I think the point of Almost Recommended has been missed here, but that could just be me.
