Claiming Fic: Extra Credit

2017-08-29T12:05:48Z

Author's notes: Yey, and it's that time of the year again (well, for me it is, I barely post more than a few times a year, LOL) when the reveals are up for the Live Journal's hp_crossgenfest in which I took part, though I never really meant to. In my opinion, one can see that I went into it unprepared because the story is too drawn out and without a proper plot, but I guess I've learned my lesson not to run away with a half-baked idea and no proper time to do it right. *sigh* But I'm whining needlessly, it is what it is, and some of you told me you actually enjoyed it, so thank you sincerely for that! :) But mostly, many super-sized thanks to my super-patient beta bleedingangel84 who always has encouraging words for me and who's ready to work around the clock to help me beat my chaotic overly-lengthy writing into some kind of a universally comprehensible story - if there's any merit to this story, it's all her doing! :) But because it shouldn't all be about me and my clumsy writing - check out the rest of the fest because some stories were truly phenomenal.

Title: Extra Credit (link goes to AO3, it's the most elegant solution)

Characters/Pairings: Draco Malfoy/Hugo Weasley, Scorpius Malfoy/Rose Weasley (background only), Harry Potter/Ron Weasley (background only)

Rating: NC-17

Word Count: 45.090

Warnings: Underage (16 years old), student-teacher relationship, contains spoilers from the “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” storyline, dirty talk

Summary: He’d never held a job… hell, he’d never even needed one! Yet somehow, a widowed Draco found himself agreeing to McGonagall’s desperate plea to take over a temporary post as a Potions Master at Hogwarts because… oh, he didn’t really know why! Besides, how bad could it be? It’s not like he was about to step into a hell-pit of teenage hormones and meet his personal devil, right? Right?! Er… There might or might not be a certain redhead around who insists on having a say in that.

Claiming fic: Sum Tuo Aere

2017-07-01T16:24:21Z

Author's note: I make sure I take part in hp_mhealthfest (also featured at LiveJournal at hp_mhealthfest ) because it's one of my favourite HP fests. About a million of profound and sincere “Thank you!”s to my super patient beta and good friend bleedingangel84 who fought her way through the gutter of my nightmare-inducing grammar, and cheered me on, when I felt like kicking this story to the curb for being too long, too bland, too… whatever. This piece was inspired by the lyrics of the song called “Innerlane” by Beseeched. Beware, it's not a light peace.
For all of us, living with scars.

Title: Sum tuo aere (link goes to AO3, it's the most elegant solution) - here's a link to Chapter 1 at Dreamwidth

Characters/Pairings: Draco Malfoy/Hugo Weasley, Scorpius Malfoy/Rose Weasley (background only)

Rating: NC-17

Word Count: 50.591

Mental Health Issue: Post-traumatic stress disorder

Warnings: Mentions of nightmares, violence and torture, nothing too gory or specific

Summary: Draco Malfoy’s been having a bit of a recurring issue with nightmares ever since the war. It’s always been manageable, of course… well, right up until his beloved son decides it is time to leave the family home at last to move in – gulp! – with Rose Weasley. Draco’s world implodes overnight and it’s anything but pretty. Enter a highly-recommended – though extremely exhausted – Healer, who specializes in some rubbish odd treatment, that’s obviously never going to work. Only, the copper-haired wonder might have an ace or two up his sleeve, that Draco never saw coming. For one, it’s another bloody Weasley, and he might be, uhm, just a little bit gorgeous...

So, I did this :)... Fic: I love your beautiful anger

2017-06-13T08:50:22Z

Author's notes: Soooo, I was tempted by the lovely capitu ("If you write, I write" trap - I totally fell in it head first, LOL!) into participating in the Draco's Merry-Making Mini Fest hosted by the bottom_draco.
Considering the participants were supposed to deliver in less than 2 weeks, it was meant to be a really easy fest where drabbles and such were as welcome as anything else - there was not even any beta needed, thanks goodness, because I'm saving my precious beta bleedingangel84 for bigger projects, poor soul! :)
But me being me, I can't do short to save my life, so it came out at 12K and me looking confused "How did that happen again?!" But since it was fun to write, I'm not complaining and I hope you consider yourselves warned, LOL! It's a fun (little-not so little) piece involving two feisty Pygmy Puffs, because - why not? :)

Title: I love your beautiful anger

Pairing: Draco Malfoy/Ron Weasley

Rating: NC-17

Word count: 12.808

Summary: Draco, facing a prospect of another lonely birthday, finds out that his old-time nemesis - that hot-headed pot of anger, Weasley - might have just entered the dating market - or so the rumours say - and decides to do something about his years-long obsession with the redhead's lovely temper. At all costs. Even if it means involving a pair of feisty Pygmy Puffs. Now, with Draco's rotten luck, how can this end well?!

Promoting Draco's Merry-Making mini fest

I couldn't promise with 10.000% certainty I'll be taking part in this - though I'm eyeing it! - but people, less busy than I should definitely give the fandom's bad boy (but just a little) a shot, it should be fun!

Does anyone know...?

2017-04-08T10:46:21Z

Hello, everyone!

Like every person in the Universe - and their mother - I've somewhat migrated to DW with synchronised posting to LJ - and to be honest, I'm kind of hating it because I haven't managed to study all the settings and whatnots of it.

Does anyone know if there is a setting DW where you can set for the DW to alert you with an e-mail that your DW friend(s) have posted something? I honestly don't even remember browsing through Friends page and I'm afraid that I'm going to lose contact with most of you because I simply won't be nudged enough to follow what you guys have been up to.

That's how I had it set up with LJ - and if you still cross-post there, I'll see it - and that's how I'd like to have it set up in DW. I'm afraid I'll fall out of touch with everyone if I have to go browsing over my friends' page simply because I won't remember to in all my busy-ness.

I'll try to post a little update some time later in the week when my son is gone for school trip - I'm bound to have more time at some point! :)

*sends hugs to everyone across the fandom*

Bleh...

I keep forgetting to mirror my posting from LJ to here. *sigh* Looks like I'm going to have to reverse the order and begin to post here first and then just tick the box where it mirrors the posting to LJ. The way things are going with LJ, I'm beginning to think about packing my bags, or just leaving my account open for reading my friends' updates and not really posting primarily there anymore.

The character limit is not very friendly to my Bible-sized fics, they no longer send friending and b-day notifications and I'm considering packing my bags and moving house to here. I mean, it's not like I've got many friends and my posts and stories never generate massive response, but I suppose I can live with that. But I hate appearing an idiot that ignores people's b-days and friending requests and if this keeps up I don't think I'll bother to be very active member of the LJ community anymore. Which is a shame, I really liked it there, and dreamwidth doesn't feel quite like home yet. *grunt*

So, in order to rectify the mirroring bit of my posting - here's my post from last night in an unlikely event that anyone cares, LOL. :)

( Last night's LJ entry... nothing major, might as well skip )

In fandom/Lj related news: after digthewriter 's post about LJ no longer sending out friend notifications, I went to check out mine, just to discover that I have 3 new friends I never added back. :( That was immediately rectified, however it's hard not to feel a complete and utter idiot after that, so dear new friends, here are my profound apologies. (And a kick in the butt to you, LJ!) Because of the younger son's illness I'm also awfully behind on my Ron/Draco entry - it's literally been going nowhere lately, so I hope I can pull it together in time - if this prolonged stay at home continues for much longer, I might have to ask for extension (hopefully, I won't embarrass myself completely and drop out).

I haven't watched the Inauguration, but the first moves of The Orange One is taking are not promising: Withdrawing from Trans-pacific partnership or the proposed bill to pull the USA out of the United Nations (perhaps we need reminding that Hitler pulled out of the League of Nations before the WWII) - not to mention the monstrosity that is The global gag rule he just re-instated - now, these developments are not something that fills me with optimism - but then again the Dutch are more than up to the job of cheering me up with this "welcome" to the most megalomanic president ever - it made me giggle out loud and because it has English subtitles, you'll be able to enjoy it as well. :) I suppose as long as there is humour in this world, there is some hope left. Never mind the gloomy ol' me, I'll get over myself. :)

Fic: Scent of Innocence - claiming from Sceasleycest

2017-01-11T08:58:27Z

Author's notes:
Just to keep some sort of a mirror of my more significant LJ posts (yeah, I'll set the cross posting at some point, I'm just too busy to be bothered much with the DW settings, LOL) - this is a link to my newest fic Scent of Innocence which was posted as part of the Sceasleycest fest at Live Journal. It's far from being my best story and it's kind of silly, but there wasn't much time to build up the characters properly, so I went with a bit of a light, cheery story for the end of year.
Pairing and summary:
It's a Hugo/Scorpius fic featuring a slightly panicky Scorpius, who still doesn't have a date for the rapidly approaching Yule Ball, and who seems to be struggling with his sexual orientation on top of that as well. Instead of helping Scorpius with his struggles, his best friend Al Potter annoyingly keeps on bringing up the many qualities of his artistic cousin Hugo Weasley, but Scorpius doesn't understand why this is even important: he needs an appropriate date, not a catalogue of virtues of one weirdo, who wanders around the school with a paintbrush behind his ear! But when instead of a date he's served an ugly portrait and some cold truth, Scorpius begins to reconsider his actions.
Beta:
All my deepest thanks and respect goes to my heavenly beta bleedingangel84 who betaed this story at record speed - it wouldn't have been possible to finish on time without her much needed intervention! :)
Length: 24.183 words

If anyone feels like it: enjoy! :)
