Long, long, long time ago when I decided keeping a livejournal was not worth much, I submitted a twenty-paged essay submitted to  hp_essays a few days, weeks — can't remember and too lazy to look up the dates — before the release of Deathly Hallows and was busy involved with getting a fansite collecting canon information of the Tortallan universe outside the books by Tamora Pierce known as Words of Tamora Pierce.

Anyway, more for proper archival purposes than whatnot, here are the relevant links (shameless, shameless self-plugging -- kind of like this entire journal, actually...):

• Essay: Beyond the Surface — [pre-DH] an analysis and explanation regarding the respective characters of James Potter, Sirius Black, and Severus Snape during their time at Hogwarts. (also feat. Lily Evans, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew)
• Fansite: Words of Tamora Pierce — a compilation of canon information concerning the Tortallan universe outside the books, directly from the primary source herself. You know it's reliable when the author links to it as a handy-dandy reference.

Bonus!

•  Fanfic: Warmth of Winter — [Summary] Machi's thoughts on perfection and a certain someone...and a promise being fulfilled at the end. Vignette. Chapter 102 spoilers.

An analysis -- recap/commentary style -- of two characters in Boys Before Flowers, So Yi Jeong, and Chu Ga-eul, and their relationship.

Warning: this piece of monstrosity is long, and some of the scenes may be subjected to overanalyzations, due to the writer's obsession with the subject. However, fangirly squee has been checked and suppressed to the best of her ability from this essay in favor of objectivity.
