het_bigbang has officially launched.
Between reading all the other Big Bang stories and all of peyton07's fic recs, IDK how I'm gonna get any writing done this weekend, hah.

Title: House of Heretics
Pairing: Draco/Astoria, mentions of Cormac/Astoria, Viktor/Pansy, also hints at various Slytherin ships
Word Count: ~38,000 (AO3 clocked it in at 37341)
Rating/Warnings: R, mentions of infidelity and crime
Betas: The wonderful acidpop25, who kept an eye out for flow and phrasing, and grrarrg0908, who battled my italics valiantly and came out triumphant. Any mistakes are due to my post-beta meddling.
Summary: Seven years have passed since Voldemort's defeat and Draco Malfoy is making do with the lot he's been given—distrusted by the Ministry, shunned by the House that he betrayed. When a ministry official goes missing, Draco is given the chance to help restore the Malfoys' place in society. But is Astoria standing in his way or is she just what he needs to be exonerated?
Author's notes: For Slytherins, the loves of my life. Narcissa probably wouldn't be here if not for Helen McCrory's performance in Deathly Hallows. The characters are JKR's, but Foxglove Bakery is Caroline's. Hope you enjoy reading!

That's the last I write something with plot for a long, long time holy crap. :|

I don't have much commentary you've suffered through enough :|, except I do want to thank grrarrg0908 and acidpop25 for the beta (I'd offer my firstborn if you like :|), and red_b_rackham, tanyareed, leigh57, jactrades, ivory88s, buckbeakbabie, flecalicious, champagnescene and alittle2happy for the support/cheerleading/what-have-you. ♥♥♥

And massive, MASSIVE thanks to firefly1344, who made me some amazing artwork to go with the story! ♥ (Please leave her plenty of love!)

Oh, and I also did art for ndnickerson's Nancy Drew fic rearview mirror.
