A little late, but I flatter myself that it's worth the wait.

( ♥ )

Also, Chad and Cindy and I watched Stage Beauty this evening and I am completely in love with this movie omfg. Like "in love" doesn't even begin to convey it. It has Pepys in it! PEPYS OMG. Also boykissing and stage drama and really believable gender confusion and Claire Danes being adorable and JESUS CHRIST LOVE THIS FILM SO MUCH OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD. Seriously. Seriously, seriously, seriously. I cannot possibly say enough good things about this movie.

And there may or may not have been whiskey involved. Erm. Yes.

Title: Nothing That's Worth Seeing
Pairing: Bellatrix/Sirius
Rating: R
Summary: Did you expect it all to stop with a wave of your hand, like the sun's just gonna drop if it's night you demand?
Warnings: Violence including only-vaguely-sexual breathplay, incest, dubious consent
A/N: Written for reversathon at lodessa's request - Sirius/Bellatrix. An attempt to change each other's opinions on the issues that are tearing the wizarding world (and their family) apart...and preferably some hot angst ridden sex. Varying degrees of beta assistance from a huge fucking laundry list of people, including (and I am almost certainly forgetting someone here) vanitymachine (WHO DOES, IN FACT, SPOIL ME, NO MATTER WHAT SHE SAYS TO THE CONTRARY), kethlenda, fictionalaspect, anoneknewmoose, durins_bane_616, snegurochka_lee (who whined because the preliminary version she saw was still sans-sex, but I love her anyway), sazzlette...hell's bells, I hope that's it. I have abused the Bright Eyes song "An Attempt to Tip the Scales" to a moderately ridiculous extent in the title, summary, and lj-cut text. And finally, the quote at the end is from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, US hardcover version, page 114.
Super Bonus: Illustrated in this line drawing and here in color by the marvelous pojypojy!

JUST BECAUSE YOU COMMENTED AT THE ORIGINAL POSTING DOES NOT MEAN YOU DO NOT HAVE TO COMMENT HERE. JUST SAYIN'.

Title: Pictures
Rating: The only questionable material is language. PG by internet standards?
Warnings: There is absolutely no Sirius/Regulus subtext in this story. You have been warned.
Wordcount: 1300ish
Author’s Note: Written for my darling regulusa on the occasion of her belated birthday. Untouched by any beta's eyes or keyboard, so all mistakes are my own. Sorry the title sucks. The title always sucks, doesn't it?

( It's past midnight on Christmas night, and Sirius' light is on. )

Feedback makes the world go round! I swear to God I'll start singing "It's A Small World" and never stop if I don't get any!

Title: Make Peace When This Is Done
Pairing: Bellatrix/Rodolphus, but a very gen sort of Bella/Rodolphus if that makes any sense
Rating: PG or something. I'm bad with ratings.
Warnings: None. Pretty much worksafe.
Wordcount: 2033
Author’s Note: Minor characters! Fanaticism! Bellatrix/Narcissa subtext! Hooray! Written for durins_bane_616's request at hp_angstfest: 6. Bellatrix the night after she hears of the Dark Lord's demise. theamazingtish is the best beta ever and absinthe_lust is the best fest!mod-cum-cheerleader ever. Oh, and title is from a Coheed and Cambria song. (/emofag)

Readers who don't leave feedback make me a sad panda.

Title: Drunk Sincerity
Pairing: James/Lily
Rating: PG
Summary: In which James picks a rather dumb spot to get trashed, there is a friendly floor, and Lily has a change of heart.
Warnings: NONE! Er. I guess underage drinking? Or something. But who the hell warns for that?
Word Count: 1607
A/N: Written for jamesfqf Challenge 15 - After a wild Gryffindor party, James, who isn't used to drinking, gets really, really sick. Who takes care of him and what happens as a result? I played fast and loose with the prompt, mostly because I didn’t want to write James puking his guts out. Hugs and love to goodkingnerdnor for the beta and to xylodemon and moshes for holding the fest.

( Of all the things that Lily generally does not want to see first in the morning, James Potter slouching on her favourite Common Room sofa, humming to himself and lovingly cradling a mostly-empty bottle of some clear liquid with gold sparkles, is fairly high on the list. )

Give me that sweet, sweet feedback, baby. You know you want to.

Super-bonus two-fics-in-one-day post!

Title: A New Spell (formerly known as "Peeking," but that title sucks even more than my titles usually suck so we're changing it)
Pairing: Bill/Fleur, Ron/Hermione
Rating: R
Words: 1700 or so
Warnings: Voyeurism. Moderate BDSM, I suppose.
Author's Note: HOLY CANON PAIRINGS, BATMAN! This story is possibly the filthiest thing I've written, just so y'all know. It was for hp_clover for silvernatasha, and I've no idea why I haven't posted it here yet since reveals on that were like three weeks ago. Thanks to absinthe_lust for the beta.

( ''It's half one, Hermione. Don't you think it's time for bed?'' )

Feedback appreciated, as always.

I despise drabbling, and I always seem to forget this. I just...I HATE DELETING MY WORDS. HATE HATE HATE. The 100-word limit is a thing of tyranny. TYRANNY, I TELL YOU.

For absinthe_lust: ( To Know (Bella and Erised, 100 words) )

For regulusa: ( Finish (Regulus and pie, 100 words) )

Also, my brother just suggested I write some Nigel/Eddie slash. After I recovered from being horrified, I said that it's not slash if it's canon.

Title: Experiment
Rating: R
Pairing: Severus/Lily
Warnings: Not a happy story in the slightest. Rather tragic, actually.
Disclaimer: [insert standard don't-sue-me stuff here]
Author's Note: Written in a pinch for dizilla as a part of hp_clover. Much less straightforward than anything I've written before. Thanks to sioniann for the beta. Snoy, you rock my socks.

( Wanting her teaches him what real want is. )

Feedback is, as always, adored.

Title: The Broom Cupboard Incident
Pairing: James/Regulus (hot like woah)
Rating: R, for boykissing and other sorts of fumblings. And many incidences of the word "fuck."
Word Count: 1454
Author's Note: This is all xylodemon's fault. Just so we've got that clear from the get-go. I can't really be mad at her though, because I think that this is going to make it into "Before You Know It," at least conceptually. danithesquirrel read it over for me and cheered me on. <3

I WILL DIE WITHOUT YOUR FEEDBACK!
So will kittens. LOTS OF THEM.
