Slumber

Derp. I didn't miss the smutty_claus reveals but I kind of failed on doing anything after it. Like posting, or thanking the people who reviewed. Ooooops, so off to do that now. ANYWAY. This was my submission. I'd intended there to be more Kingsley/Narcissa and less Draco/Astoria, but that didn't quite work according to plan.

Title: Long Overdue
Pairing: Draco/Astoria, Kingsley/Narcissa
Summary: In which Draco is in denial about many things.
Rating: NC-17
Length: 3555
Warnings: none
Author's notes: torino10154, I hope you enjoy this! I certainly had fun writing it. :) Much thanks to my beta, ccharlotte, without whom I would not have felt confident letting this see the light of day. Any errors are due to my post-beta meddling. Written for smutty_claus and originally posted here.

( Long Overdue )

Title: Unsettled
Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: Theodore/Susan, Theodore/Daphne, a dash of Oliver/Katie
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: ~3100
Summary: The war is over, but it doesn't feel like it's truly ended.
Additional Notes: Written for the community at hp_spring_fling. Many, many thanks to my beta, Ashvarden, who helped shape and prod this into readable form. The request I had asked for a tone more somber than I was used to writing, and this had been an interesting exercise in restraint versus... whatever its opposite was. Erm. So yeah.

( The Nott Manor had never been one to inspire feelings of cheer and fuzziness. )

Title: Un Crimine in Tre Atti (A Crime in Three Acts)
Fandom: Harry Potter (barely :|)
Pairing: Roger/Blaise (hints of Blaise/Theodore)
Rating: R
Word Count: 350 words
Summary: Il Seduzione. La Relazione. Il Tradimento.
Additional Notes: Because things sound better in another language, hee. Written for ccharlotte, though most of the inspiration for it came from her too. :P Happy Birthday! Here's to more random plotting, Roger and Blaise, growing old!, and eee, graduating and grad school! (See you in August! :D:D:D)


Atto I: Il Seduzione

It starts with a playful comment, like it always does. It follows through with a wink here, another smirk there, like it always has. But his eyes linger a second longer and you catch him then, and where you would not have pushed, you do.

(Cat-got-the-mouse grin, voice lowered to a murmur.) "Like what you see?"

Where he might have backed out, he doesn't.

(Tongue wetting full lips.) "Maybe."

Where you meant to keep your distance, you don't.

(Hips now dangerously close, lips moving against his ear.) "But you do, don't you?"

Where he would have said no--

(The softest, traitorous hitch of breath.) "Goddammit, Roger."

He doesn't.

( The rest here. )

Title: Cordially Invited
Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: Blaise/Theodore, slight mentions of Blaise/Roger
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 2,991 more or less
Summary: [SPOILERISH] Highlight to read: Takes place years after the war. Blaise's mother is engaged to Theodore's father, and everyone gets busy with wedding preparations. More or less.
Additional Notes: Dedicated to starflowers, from whom I stole Grayson, Kalan, and Theodore. *kisses* Lissa, I really don't know what else to add besides gratuitous shagging. :| Much love to ccharlotte, who editted and lent me Isabella. :D I take full blame for the title. :|

( The society pages should have warned him. )

( Epilogue )

Title: Colour-Coded
Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: Draco/Theodore
Word Count: 100 words
Rating: PG
Additional Notes: I'd forgotten that I hadn't posted this yet until ccharlotte prompted me to write Theodore/Blaise and something with colours. :|


Colours have a way of defining, shaping, Theodore's life. Green for the colours he proudly wears, black for the colours he soon shall. All shades of these colours, cool and dark, are good for him--blend in the black of night, wear robes of dark green, make acquaintances with Ravenclaw blue.

He avoids all hues and shades of red, warm and bright, like the red and gold of Gryffindor arrogance, the happy yellows of Hufflepuff inanity, red-orange of Weasley poverty, and he slips into black night from Draco's bed to his just before the sky turns orange and betrays him.

Title: In The Shadows
Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: Blaise/Theodore
Length: 200 words
Rating: PG15
Warnings: None
Summary: What the rest of Hogwarts doesn't know.
Additional Notes: For kiwi666. *smooches and loves upon* Merry Christmas from my Blaise to your Theodore. <3


He glances at you from across the library table, nodding toward your book. The two of you sit alone in a corner of the library, separate from all the others.

It's because you're both Slytherins, they whisper.

You don't speak when Malfoy taunts Potter, even when the rest of your Housemates laugh along. Instead you stand a little way to the back of the crowd, and you catch his eye, and the two of you say nothing.

It's because you're the quiet ones, they say.

It's the final match of the year, and the Quidditch Cup is again a few points away from your team. Students fill the bleachers, cheering teams on and waving flags in House colours. Nobody notices that neither of you are watching with the rest of them.

It's because you both live in the shadows, they reason.

Behind closed doors, in lonely rooms and quiet dorms, he kisses you and you hold him. He moans passion into your lips, you shiver within his arms. Nobody knows that you love tangling your fingers into his hair, nobody sees the way your body arches under his touch.

It's because you're each other's and no one else's, you think.

Title: Prologue
Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: Theodore/Justin
Length: 100 words
Rating: PG
Warnings: None
Summary: Pre-slash; the beginning of it all.
Additional Notes: For wyoming_knott, who requested Theodore/Hufflepuff, "clams on a half shell and roller skates" (or just work in the lyrics of the song that comes from). siobhanohare told me to use Justin, which I did, which is why this turned out pre-slash instead of slash. *facepalms*


"Let's get together, how 'bout a quarter to ten..."

Of all Herbology partners in the world--

"Come tomorrow, let's all do it again..."

--how does he end up with the one Hufflepuff that sings?

"Boys will be boys, better--"

"Justin."

"Mm?"

"Stop singing."

"Why?"

"It disturbs the mimosa fermatia."

"Don't be silly, Teddy. It likes singing."

"Don't call me Teddy either."

"But you're a Theodore!"

"Justin."

"You're not very nice."

Theodore rubbed his temples and pinched the bridge of his nose.

"--better let them have their toys..."

It was going to be an incredibly long Herbology period.
