Harry/Ron, The Thrill of the Chase, Etcetera , by tout-a-coup

After staying away from Potter fanfic for a while to fully enjoy reading DH, I am quite pleased to be devouring Harry/Ron fic in order to choose what to rec for Harry/Ron this month.  I like to find things that may perhaps not have a lot of comments or might not be popular, but I think they are worthy of some attention. 

Apologies for not making fancy links; it's been a while!


Title:   The Thrill of the Chase, Etcetera  
link:  http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3811478/1/The_Thrill_of_the_Chase_Etcetera
Author: tout-a-coup  
length/word count: 9635
Alternate links: not aware of any
Pairing: Harry/Ron, a past of Harry/Ginny and Ron/Hermione
Rating:  the ff.net rating is a T, though I'd push it a little bit higher.
Author's website:  http://www.fanfiction.net/u/782445/tout-a-coup
Why everyone should read this:  It's funny and very silly, but it made me laugh quite a few times.  The story is pretty simple fanfic wise:  Harry is in love with Ron, and is determined to have him.  What made this one pop out to me was that it was the first I'd read in ages on ff.net that was fairly angst-free and rather funny.  And you have to read the fic with this in mind, because some of the characterizations are a bit exaggerated, but you can see the author had fun writing it.  There's a plot twist that is also quite silly, though keeping in step with the theme of the fic.   I wanted to rec this as my first rec this month with the understanding that the story is obviously meant to make you laugh, and for me, it delivered. 

Harry sensed a note of bitterness in her tone and almost asked her if she herself had done such a thing, before thinking better of it. But she had the right idea. He had to make it very clear to Ron. But he couldn't do it all at once. He would reveal it little by little until Ron figured it out for himself in the end and fell madly in love with Harry. Harry would be sneaky and underhanded about it. Harry would seduce him.

The problem was, Harry had never seduced anyone and had no idea how to go about it. Firstly, he thought rationally, he ought to find out where Ron stood on the whole two-blokes-shagging bit.

"Ron," he said to his ginger-haired god of cluelessness while they were eating lunch, "have you ever thought seriously about shagging a bloke?"

Ron ruminated on this for a moment. "A Quidditch player, or a regular bloke?"

"Regular bloke." Everyone thought about shagging Quidditch players. Harry was pretty sure even monks thought about shagging Quidditch players.

"Not really," Ron said casually. "Not seriously."

"Would you, though?" Harry asked insistently.

"What, think seriously?"

"No, shag a bloke."

Ron chewed thoughtfully on his sandwich. "Yeah, I reckon," he replied with a shrug.

Phase one, complete.

If you read The Thrill of the Chase here on [info]harry_and_ron rather than on ff.net, you get links to the stick figure drawings that are mentioned throughout the fic.

*beams*

Now I just have to actually start writing my next chapter, rather than just reading your 50 smutlets table.

cool beans! Thank you! I'll add it all to the post in a little while. Got a toddler sitting on my lap right now, so I'll get to it ASAP. I had no idea there was an LJ version of this fic.

This was so cute! And I actually don't have a list right now, because I seriously haven't read any fic since like, oh, March. But now I'm reading it again and just randomly bookmarking stuff to put here because I had forgotten I signed up again for CB.

Did you see the version that has the illustrated stick figures? Someone linked it in the first comment, so I'll change the OP so that link is up there as well. It's very funny.
