Um, so that link I left goes back to anna's userinfo page, because she's still in the middle of a rewrite of it (though it was posted at the hp_georgecentric comm on LJ a year ago). So, this is the link to the first part of the imperfect version: http://hpgeorgecentric.livejournal.com/15904.html. For, to paraphrase your story, it's the imperfections that make something/someone perfect.
I'm also off to rec this on hp_georgecentric, because it's just.that.good.
