YYYwY reminds me of this kind of inside joke--in a comical fanfiction involving truely *ghost*ly Gaunts, Tobias Snape suggests that a particular someone write a book entitled Portkeying to Prague via Potted Plant, (further inside reference) which might partially explain that "All your cheese went to Prague with somethingorother" in that google thread.
The deathpants story is funny.
More on some of the fanfic summaries:
My dear Schmergo, may I enlighten you to the fact that this, in fact, says, rather incestiously and sickeningly, his great-grandmother and grandma fall in love.... Ugh...
It seems possible to me in my [not so] expert opinion, that this author somehow confused the expression "soul mate" with [Anne's] concept of "bosom friend" 1 and that this fic is actually referring to Draco and/or possibly siblings and some young Potters. That seems to be the most feasible explanation based on the explanation given, although it's not entirely the most likely explanation...
Ron was very perplexed. How was he to judge Voldemort if he had to walk through outer space in stinky moccasins!? He wouldn't be able to breathe, unless maybe he had one of those muggle mastro-knot suits or something like that. What was that, exactly? He would have to ask Hermione... Or was there a way to do something so that he could breathe in outer space, like the contestants had done at the Triwizard Tournament? He would still have to ask Hermione... But then, well, hadn't Professor Sinastra explained that the moon was around forty-thousand2 kilometers away from the earth--and that was only the earth's moon, and not any other one? On the premise that they forgot a W. I did think Walk Two Moons was a good book.
1(for some reason I could not spell that and almost wrote bo'sun friend, a different matter entirely)
2 Ron has the accuracy off by a zero--the distance could be rounded to roughly 400,000 kilometers, not to 40,000.

A tragic love story taking place aboard the Titanic. Harry's great-grandma and grandma meet on this ship, only to fall in love and...lose one another. (Ummm... technically, wouldn't Harry not be born if his grandparents died on the Titanic?)

After the war, Lucius became Harry's slave and soul mate. This is the story of their children. No slash. (What?? Slash is when two people of the same gender are in love. Are they saying Lucius is female or something?)

"Don't judge a man until you've walked to moons in his moccasins," Ixchel the Anchoress warned Ron. What a grim omen that was. (Because Voldemort's moccasins REALLY SMELL.)
