Oh man okay it was really similar for me!! Like I used to be SUPER INTO the marauders (and I still sort of am idk but when I was 14 I used to write my own [terrible] [but somehow kind of popular] [but terrible] fic about them, it was much more intense) but I never like, even thought about Andromeda for some reason? But then when I reread the books in 2009 I became like, COMPLETELY OBSESSED WITH HER!! That has actually happened a lot for me post-books, like when they were coming out I was aaaaaaaall about the obvious canon ships (Ron/Hermione and James/Lily, although lol I was into Draco/Ginny too YOU DON'T KNOW ME) and now I'll find myself randomly SUPER INTO Ted/Andromeda or George/Angelina?! Idek. Anyway that fic is pretty close to my personal interpretation of them because my friend wrote it after weeks of ~GOD IL TED/ANDROMEDA~ emails, but I have other fic saved (http://www.delicious.com/lightlocked/%2Bted%2Fandromeda)! Some of it is pretty long though. If you don't read anything else read the very last one I looooooooooove it it was my first? BUT LOL I'M SERIOUSLY PRETTY SURE I HAVE READ EVERY TED/ANDROMEDA FIC ON THE INTERNET, I even started reading this French one on ff.net but it was pretty boring and the Andromeda characterization is weird. Lol me. But ahhhhh I love comparing Sirius and Andromeda because I LOVE THEM BOTH SO MUCH but they're so different (in my head, I guess?). Like Sirius is SUCH A GRYFFINDOR, born to rebel from his family, but I don't think Andromeda ever would have guessed that would be her ending, in my head she is very much still a Slytherin. But that fic is pretty close to my own personal canon take because my friend Catherine wrote it after weeks of v. intense discussion about Ted/Andromeda. ALTHOUGH LATELY I'M REALLY OBSESSED WITH THE IDEA OF LIKE, throwing all these fics where he pokes at her shell and wears her down out the window, and having it be her that seeks him: I was thinking because his parents get killed or something and she divines that it was Bellatrix?!?! IDK!
