Fic: To have and to keep (7/?)

Author's notes: It's slowly coming to an end, that's all I can say in the way of an excuse. My life has been just a series of crazy lately, but at least BF got a 23 year old car now from a friend (LOL, we're all loving the ancient beast) and he can sometimes take care of the kids - perhaps I'll eventually have time to write something more decent. One more chapter, and we should be done, yey! I apologize to any readers that haven't ran away screaming yet, if this one is not very believable and could be kind of boring.
Title: To have and to keep - Chapter 7 (year, LJ, in your face - it's another unapologetically long one, heh)
Warnings: a very confused and very much underage Scorpius entering the world of crushes and sexual experiences he was perhaps not meant to have - in short, he just didn't think much. With his upper head. ;)
Main pairing: Scorpius Malfoy/Hugo Weasley (there you have it... for a bit), James Potter/Scorpius Malfoy (last breaths of that one)
Characters: Scorpius Malfoy, Hugo Weasley, Louis Weasley, James Sirius Potter, Al Potter, Minerva McGonagall, Rose Weasley, Lorcan Scamander, Lysander Scamander, Lily Potter, Draco Malfoy, Ron Weasley
Rating: R, for language only
Word count: 12.400-ish (this chapter, uhm, it's kind of long again)
Disclaimer: Nope, not mine. The sorry plot, yes - but the characters and any rights whatsoever - nope. No profit made.
Summary of this chapter: Scorpius finally cuts through the web of lies and deceit

Neville coms, anyone?

Hey, y'all! I've got a question - and a bit of promotion - to do. I was wondering if any of you knew if there were any communities out there to post a lovely Neville Longbottom/Theodore Nott story. You see, a fandom friend of mine [livejournal.com profile] philharmony just finished her first fandom story (yey, everyone, this is where we throw our hats in the air! :D), and it's great, so I think more people should read it.

You think [livejournal.com profile] hp_fanfiction or [livejournal.com profile] hp_slash would be appropriate if there isn't anything more specifically dedicated to Neville? I wish I wasn't so damn clumsy navigating the LJ, so I hope someone of you, lovely, smart folks, might have some idea. :) A lot of work went into this story - it's over 90K long - and I really like all the colourful characters and the interesting plot, so I'm kind of hoping you'd be willing to help me out.

Anyway, not to sell you a cat in a bag - the story is called My cup of tea and it introduces us to Theodore Nott, working as an Unspeakable at the Ministry, caught in the daily routine of his rather solitary post-war existence. That is, until his world is turned upside down by a visting Neville, who only wanted to borrow a tea-bag, and managed to snatch Theo's heart away somehow. But you know what happens when you mix Slytherins and Gryffindors - a lot of action, that's what! :) This story has lovely scenery, adorable characters (old and new) and a very intriguing plot (with a proper villain and all!) and it's all the way hot and wonderful, so if you're up for a bit longer read, I'm certain you will end up appreciating it! And since everyone can always use a bit of help promoting their talent - that's what I'm up to today... :)

Any info will be appreciated and thanks heaps for your help! :)

Fic: To have and to keep (5/?)

Author's notes: I truly can't believe my own lameness (is that even a word? It is now!). I really thought I could wrap this damn chapter up properly, but I've had truly suck-ass two weeks that left me rather drained and barely able to keep my eyes open in the evenings, let alone write, so once again, I decided to post the part that made some sense and make a small step in the progression of this story rather than not post anything. So sorry to keep this story bouncing on the spot - clearly this is not a year in which I'll earn myself some writing credit - most of the stuff I come up with is kind of "meh".
Title: To have and to keep - Chapter 5 (LJ, it's not personal, you betraying bastard, but this is going to AO3!)
Warnings: a very confused and very much underage Scorpius entering the world of crushes and sexual experiences he was perhaps not meant to have - in short, he just didn't think much. With his upper head. ;)
Main pairing: Scorpius Malfoy/Hugo Weasley (getting there! so close now!), this chapter (still kind of) featuring James Potter/Scorpius Malfoy
Characters: Scorpius Malfoy, Hugo Weasley, Louis Weasley, James Sirius Potter, Al Potter, Minerva McGonagall, Rose Weasley, Lorcan Scamander, Lysander Scamander, Lily Potter
Rating: R-ish? More? Who knows!
Word count: 4.800-ish (this chapter, tiny by my standards)
Disclaimer: No profit made - seriously, how could I?
Summary of this chapter: What harm could a bunch of colourful candies, made by a barely 15-year-old, possibly do? Right? :)

JUST YOU LOOK AT ANOTHER WONDERFUL GIFT FIC FOR ME!!!

Oh, I totally have the best friends ever, at least in fandom I do!! Sometimes I feel like I just sit on my ass day in-day out, complaining and lamenting, and those wonderful people that I got to know not so long ago, just all rush in to help me with my "down in the mud again" mood. And the shitty day I had the other time (8 hours sitting on those bar chairs, don't remind me!)  was totally a proof of that. Everyone was super nice, trying (successfuly) to lift my spirits up - but the very special and very best uplifting tool came from the one and only [livejournal.com profile] philharmony who came up with a wonderful, scorching hot Ron/Draco story for yours truly (uhm, that would be me... me, me, me, it's a story for me, in case I wasn't clear enough!!).
It's - very appropriately - called Shitty Days and Perfect Nights (or if you prefer to link to it from the author's journal, it's here ) and it begins with Draco, clearly stuck in the middle of a dead-boring formal dinner, innerly despairing over the absence of his lover, sulkily attempting to ruin everyone's evening, because the Malfoys are just "mature" that way - not! :D He is very much in character, and his grumpiness is kind of sweet - but only up until his lover actually arrives - and then his frustration tranforms into a scorching hot "need you right now and fuck all" sex-and-more encounter, that just makes me want to read it over and over again. That Ron in there is to die for - just look at this:

"Pure sapphire blue gazed at me adoringly, more brilliant than any gem my money could buy. Fiery red hair framed his face, warmer than any fire I could conjure. Bronzed freckles spattered across his cheeks and nose, even his lips, more enthralling than any constellation could ever be."

Or this:

"I breathed in deep and let my happiness wash over me while I inhaled the scent of the outdoors, sweat and battle magic, a bit of fire, a bit of ash, and a whole lot of Ron ."

Now, how's that not perfect, you tell me?! :D Go on, read it, read it - and if you love it at least the fraction of the way that I did, please spare a few seconds for a kudos - or even a comment! - to the talented author.
Thestral with friends receiving all the praise they deserve is a happy Thestral! :D
[livejournal.com profile] philharmony, darling - I wish I was any better with expressing gratitude - thank you so much for this brilliant, inspiring present. I hope it makes a lot of people squee with joy, just the way it did me! :)

Promoting (sounds better than pimping, heh): Sceasleycest for the end of the year

Sooo, I did this one last year - it was my first Ron/Scorpius (and a first proper cross-gen ever, to be honest) - and it was fun! :) So if anyone is thus inclined to pair a certain (undoubtedly) attractive blond with (undoubtedly) a temperamental redhead - fire away! :)




Join for an end of the year fest! We'll need prompts from everyone, betas to look over pieces, people to make art or fanfic, and people to enjoy the fan works when posting opens in November! So it doesn't matter what you like to do, we'll need everyone for something.

See our info post here.

Sooo, let's see if this works! :D

There was an entertaining challenge posted this week by [livejournal.com profile] akatnamedeaster regarding drawing, and because it's Friday and I'm up to some fun I could do with some further embarrassing of myself, LOL!
Here's the banner to the challenge:





And here's my entry:

Well, yes, I'm aware that I'm on the other spectrum of talented, so this will definitelly call for subtitles: it's meant to be Scorpius Malfoy, enjoying his first morning coffee served by his lover. :)
Morning,love
LOL, giggle all you like, you know I am! :D This is fun!

Fic: After the cupcakes

Autor's note: So I wrote something silly and cheesy up and it's for [livejournal.com profile] starstruck1986 who was having a rough patch the other day and ask for some Harry/Ron. Actually, she asked for smut, but I'm terrible at delivering smut, so I wrote her a little mindless rambling of mine - and our boys - instead, but I don't think it's appropriate for anyone with diabetes. ;) Amy, it's alright even if you can't like it. You're so much better at this than I, that this is more like a peace offer to myself for feeling like a bad friend for days. I hope the weight of the world eases up on you for some time.
Title: After the cupcakes (this link actually goes to AO3, because LJ hates me and it might screw up the post below) EDIT: I knew it was going to be all fucked up, the tabs, the editing... meh, I give up, AO3 it is!
Main pairing: Harry/Ron
Characters: Harry Potter, Ron Weasley
Rating: There's a "fuck" or three in it, so R for language and if there's one below G for everthing else, than that one. C, for corny? ;)
Word count: 2082
Disclaimer: Not mine, but at least I'm honest about stealing the characters - and not profiting from it as well :)
Summary: They never really said anything, but they're each other's world. And perhaps a lazy Sunday morning is as good a time as any to finally say something.

Fic: To have and to keep (2/?) and a rec of a lovely fic for me! :D

1) Rec first, because I was raised that way - and because the naughty, lovely story was just wonderful and totally worth it!! Imagine my surprise when I got today's [livejournal.com profile] hp_crossgenfest notification in my mailbox - and it turns out the story was for me! *cartwheels around the living rooms ensue* And it's the cutest (too short!!!) story - sadly, anonymous for now, though I have my ideas! - with Harry/Scorpius pairing where we learn that:
a. There is a Unofficial biography about Harry's life
b. Scorpius Malfoy is my own personal god who just happened to trip over and he conveniently fall into Harry's bed (hey, that's what Saviours are for!)
c. Harry still got it (in bed, at least) and totally deserves to have a medal Scorpius hanging around his neck for the blow-job of the year! :)
d. I have a new pairing that I'm very fond of.

You can read this lovely written wonder called Dirty Harry here (LJ) or here (AO3) - and I hope you're inclined to show it lots of love! :)

2) I'm going to holidays in Montenegro for a week, so I won't be able to comment much on the lovely fests and stories, at least not on my cracked-screen tablet. I hope the fandom can take some commenting delay, I'll try to make up to the authors with enthusiasm when I come back!

3) Next chapter of the story featuring what has to be the most confused teenager on the planet:
Author's notes: Soooo, that didn't quite go as planned. As I'm free-styling (a.k.a. writing with no plan whatsoever except for the vaguest idea) the story is turning on the spot like a dog chasing its tail - and I didn't manage to write enough to give this chapter the ending I was hoping for. Meh, I guess it'll just take another chapter to do so, it's not like there are angry masses banging on my door, demanding it! :) But I did update, because I promised [livejournal.com profile] capitu though, uhm, erm, darling, I didn't *quite* fix it yet... *squeals in deadly dread and escapes to holidays with Bolivian headhunter on her tail*

Title: To have and to keep - Chapter 2 (it goes to AO3, I'm so done with hateful LJ!)
Warnings: a very confused and very much underage Scorpius entering the world of crushes and sexual experiences he was perhaps not meant to have - in short, he just didn't think much. With his upper head. ;)
Main pairing: Scorpius Malfoy/Hugo Weasley (eventually), this chapter featuring James Potter/Scorpius Malfoy
Characters: Scorpius Malfoy, Hugo Weasley, Louis Weasley, James Sirius Potter, Al Potter, Minerva McGonagall, Rose Weasley, Lorcan Scamander
Rating: R-ish? More? Who knows!
Word count: 12.393 (this chapter)
Disclaimer: Bank account is still as red as my cheeks after reading a hot fanfic - no hope of income from this one, no right to it either... :)
Summary of this chapter: Scorpius's has got it bad... but who he's got it bad for is not a completely straightforward story... :)

I've got the best friends - another lovely story for me! :)

Oh, man I should really have Monday blues more often (well, not really, but you know...) because it has such wonderful results. Not only did I get a lovely story from the one and only starstruck1986 to send me off to sleep with a big smile on my face - but I also got another one from the big sweetheart that is [livejournal.com profile] bramblerose4 to brighten my morning - and this one is literally customised to my life and mood in the office on a rainy day! :D

That poor exhausted and so not-in-the-mood for work Ron (he's actually trying to put Harry up to having work banned on rainy days, LOL!) might as well be my alter ego. Every mornign when I drive from the sunlit meadows of my region into the drizzly, foggy pit that is the capital city, where I work (it is in another region and it has a different climate), I feel like bawling and kicking some weather god's ass! So, Ronnie, my man - I hear you! :) Luckily for Ron, Harry insists on behaving professionally - but he's not "capo di banda" who has the final say! :)

So head over here to read what is essentially a fictionalised account of my daily struggles, LOL!

And thank you, darling - because of you now my Tuesday is all better as well! :) *hugs you*

I got a wonderful gift-fic! :D

Man, I've got to be the luckiest girl alive! :) I got a most wonderful gift-story by the one and only [livejournal.com profile] starstruck1986 who notice my Monday blues on Twitter (nothing special, but it's fucking Monday and God decided to unleash all the world's reserves of rain onto the tiny fart of a country I live in) and promptly decided to make it all better! And she did!

I was being very vague on my wish-list - "make my favourite redhead cuddle" and "with the bespectacled one" - but I knew I was on the safe side, because I know she writes killer Harry/Ron and that's my oldest fandom love. I promptly realised that Harry is not the only person wearing glasses in the canon, so I was kind of anxious if I'm going to see a Ron/Trelawney pairing come to life (I'm eternally grateful my fears were not realised, LOL!) and for some reason (hmmm, why would that be *rolls thumbs*), I felt the need to stress that the story should not be too doom and gloom. And it wasn't! :D
It's a brilliant little moment between Ron, who's desperate for Harry's attention - and Harry, who can only play hard to get for so long! *beams*

Excerpt: "The rain poured on, the lightning flashed, the thunder rumbled. Ron laid there, his head in Harry's lap, smelling him, feeling him, loving him."

You can't tell me you need to know more! Go and read it here (LJ) or here (AO3) and make your day a bit brighter! :)
Thanks again, darling! You were my ray of sunshine today! :)

Fic: To have and to keep (1/?)

Author's note: I've got two "baked" and not posted stories yet because they're both a part of future fests (respectively) but the neurotic slave-driver living in my head never stops bugging me with new writing more - if not better - so I decided to throw this down on the cyber paper. Basically, I just wanted to do something free-flying, as in free of deadlines, topics and begging for beta-ing that probably makes my poor beta hate me. The result is not a very original idea - and it's probably better for grammar nazis to completely avoid for risk of brain damage - but I guess writing confused teenagers is my thing. And this particular teenager is so confused, he will require to have at least two more chapters written. :)

Title: To have and to keep - Chapter 1 (it goes to AO3, I honestly just can't be bothered with LJ anymore, the damn thing hates me!)
Warnings: a very confused and very much underage Scorpius entering the world of crushes and sexual experiences he was perhaps not meant to have - in short, he just didn't think much. With his upper head. ;)
Main pairing: Scorpius Malfoy/Hugo Weasley (eventually), featuring Louis Weasley/Scorpius Malfoy
Characters: Scorpius Malfoy, Hugo Weasley, James Sirius Potter, Minerva McGonagall, Rose Weasley
Rating: R-ish? More? Who knows!
Word count: 8593
Disclaimer: If you saw my bank account it would be pretty clear from the fierce red colour that this is not mine... :) Just playing in the fan-box
Summary: Scorpius's fascination with the kids of the Weasley/Potter clan has got wings. But they're so colourful and so present, aren't they? And some are downright gorgeous. But only one of them is right. And if you're looking straight into the sun for long enough, you can't see anything, not even the sun.

Doodling... I really shouldn't... :P

Dammit, BF's brother with his son are visiting and I can't really write in the evenings - and I just started another piece! it's hard to focus with being interrupted every 3 seconds and with howls of laughter coming from the other side of the room, accompanied by "you've gotta come and see this"... no, I really don't. :P But I know that BF misses hearing his native language and his family, so I'm trying to be less grumpy than usual when my "evening plans" don't happen. But they can't stop me from doodling,can they?! *mwahahahaha*  Sadly. Oh, boy, I really should keep my day job. *giggles madly*

Is it showing?

Hmmm... I just made a stupidly long London post, pic-spam and all, which I've been putting together since yesterday and I think I must have screwed up something - at one point it wasn't showing. Can someone please check if this link is working, before I kick this stupid punk of my lap top in its chip-y butt?! Thank you in advance, whichever good soul you are! :)
