Slumber

Title: Playing Favourites
Characters: Oliver Wood, Cho Chang
Word Count: ~2800
Rating: PG
Warnings: None
Summary: From the prompt: Cho's first patient as a Healer is Oliver Wood, fresh off a Quidditch injury. He wants to get back to the pitch as soon as possible. She wants to get him completely healed. They disagree. A lot.
Disclaimer: JKR owns the characters, and the plot is nessismore's. :)
Author's Notes: I ficced for interhouse_fest. kalisgirl did a great beta job on this one! <3 Any mistakes are due to my post-beta meddling.

( The first time Cho catches Oliver Wood wandering St Mungo's ward nowhere near his own, he at least has the grace to look embarrassed. )

Title: Countdown to the End of the World
Characters: Theodore Nott, Draco Malfoy, Mrs Zabini, Blaise Zabini
Rating: G
Word Count: 1266
Warning(s): Allusions to zombies?
Summary: "How do we get there?" Draco asks the afternoon he nearly gets bitten on a food run. He swears up a storm and throws a hissy fit but Theodore makes him wait the requisite five hours anyway. Rules are rules, Theodore reminds him, earning only a stream of colorful curses from Draco. He doesn't stop glaring at him for at least an hour after he is finally allowed back in.
Author's Note: Written (and currently hosted at) hp_zombiefest. This fic takes place in the same universe as the fics I wrote last time, Dead Men Walking and The Quibbler's Guide to the Rising, though you don't need to read either to follow this one.

Title: The Seven Grievances of Terry Boot
Character(s)/Pairing(s): Terry/various (slash and het)
Beta Reader(s): sinarie
Word Count: 6717
Rating: PG-13
(Highlight to View) Warning(s): None..
Note: This is for all the Ravenclaws I've loved before. Thanks to S for inspiring the version of Justin FF that shows up here, and L for sharing my love for Terry Boot (and helping prod this story into form). JKR had listed Terry down as a Muggleborn in her notes, and while she had a lot of notes that didn't make the "final cut", I think it's interesting to try and make everything she said fit anyway. Written for hogwarts_houses, originally posted here. This is also something of a backstory that I started writing in 2009 for Salvation by Slytherin, albeit this is more focused on Terry than the other three boys.
Summary: Before he got on the train his mother had pulled him into a hug and told him she knew he'd always been special, and she was sure he'd do very well in all his classes regardless of the subject, and his father laughed and wondered how many versions of Abra Cadabra Terry would have to memorise. When he wrote a few weeks later to explain there was actually a fair amount of Latin to remember, his father's reply included a hint of going on to be a doctor.

( Hogwarts turned out to be real after all, though quite honestly, not nearly as good as it sounded on paper—sorry, parchment. )

PS. Don't forget to request for December Drabbles either on DW or LJ!

Title: House of Heretics (3/4)
Pairing: Draco/Astoria, mentions of Cormac/Astoria, Viktor/Pansy, also hints at various Slytherin ships
Word Count: <38,000, 9877 for this section
Rating/Warnings: R, mentions of infidelity and crime
Betas: acidpop25 kept an eye out for flow and phrasing, and grrarrg0908 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 most of 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! Written for het_bigbang. On the HBB site here and AO3 here.

So my Glompfest fic for serpentinelion got posted, hurray! While I know I've sort of gone off H/D in fandom, it wasn't until I signed up for this that I realized I haven't written H/D in seven years. Also, that the stories I have written were horrible, so. Ew. :|

But the H/D fandom has always been my first love, and I know many of you from there, so really, despite no longer shipping H/D as actively as I once did (via board discussions if not actual fiction) it's always going to have a special place in my (mostly) Slytherin-worshipping heart. Fiction Alley, Guns 'n' Handcuffs? When we say we go way back, it is actually true now. Seven years. That's ridiculous.

Anyway, here's a link to the fic. (Notice the side dish of Slytherin shippiness. I just can't ever stop. Blaise/Pansy is a real ship for me now too. Hm.)

Title: Oliver's Broom
Betas: perculious and melusinahp, with additional fest-sponsored proofing by nursedarry and I am fairly sure one other person
Glomp For: steamyaffair, whose amazing request included Broommaker & Quidditch Owner
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco (and a side dish of Blaise/Pansy)
Summary: Draco crafts the best custom brooms in all of Britain. Leave it to Harry to come along with a special request that puts that into question.
Rating: PG-13 (unfortunately)

( Ginny had warned him the shop would have no name. )

PS. Oddly enough, Oliver Wood has shown up in 4 of my last 6 fics. Half the time I haven't been kind to him. Sorry. :\

So reveals for hpvalensmut went up last night, and I've got sparkysparky to thank for the lovely Blaise/Terry fic. :D

This is the first fest I've joined in more than a year, and I'm honestly so pleased with the request I received from mr_mercutio-- there's no better way to dip my toes (HAH, I actually spelled that Toews :\) back into writing than, erm, diving headfirst into what I'm calling my Slytherclaw agenda. This was originally posted here. Feedback would be so much love, please and thank you! ♥

Title: Salvation by Slytherin
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Nothing, really. Plot, probably, and a disappointing lack of darkness.
Summary: All Terry Boot wants to do is author a book and perhaps rewrite history as wizarding society remembers it, but the Slytherins just won't cooperate. When a civil war erupts and Terry's only chance of escape involves working with a poorly-acronymed rebel group and an army of questionable professionals to take down the largest magical empire in the world, is his potential bestseller really worth all the trouble? (Theodore/Blaise, Draco/Terry, shades of Draco/Theodore.)
Disclaimers: If I owned Harry Potter, it wouldn't be about Harry Potter. Made up facts and figures derived from actual facts and figures found in Wikipedia.
Notes: Though the Slytherins were nowhere in the Battle of Hogwarts in the book, JKR has stated in later interviews that they were, so I've taken that for fact. Much thanks and love to ccharlotte for the beta.

( Salvation by Slytherin-- this way, please! )
