 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.

Heeey, it's that day of the ron_draco_fest again - the last one, sadly - buuuuut, it brings the reveals and I'm ready to embrace the one that's mine. This year I came up with a biblically-long story called My Unintended, which was terribly ill-fated in its writing process - I think I had to put the writing process on pause at least twice because the two farts of my sons diabolically decided not to get ill in the same week. In the end I was actually happy that it was finished (though only because of the wonderful mod's extension) even though the ending is a bit rushed. Oh, and it has two 1st person POWs, so if that's not your cookie, then I guess it's not your lucky day to read an overly-lengthy story. :)

I'm a lucky girl, I'll be the first to say that! Even though I bitch and complain lots (Slytherin charming grumpy nature, we can't help it), I know there's really not that much wrong with my life: me and my forever-groom both have jobs, I've got two little devils posing as kids that are healthy enough, and even though I'm constantly out of time, I still somehow managed to make some wonderful friendships here, online, and on LJ platform especially.
So, in the view of my b-day, almost a week ago now, I'm still getting super fun and brilliant presents. Yesterday I received a super-cute package by my dearest candamira which couldn't come at the better time - namely, it contained tea and chocolates and I swear I was ready to rob a store for these two things just when I got them! :D And the package was so pretty! The wrapping was all that and then the lovely card, made by her daughter (whose skills with the scissors are clearly better than mine!) - I was awwing all the way.

Just look at it - isn't it adorable:

And you'd think that would be all, but I'm way luckier than that! :D My very talented bestie philharmony who is more than busy enough with her family life, took the time to draw me not one but TWO lovely pictures of the next gen children! :D The first picture features a very adamant Rose Weasley and a slightly panicked but very excited-looking Scorpius Malfoy hurrying to catch the Hogwarts express, while the second picture has my super-favourite tiny freckly Hugo in it (!!!), experimentally dealing with what Molly Weasley might call "a pest problem" using a wand he clearly managed to nick from his mum (oups!). Go see the cutest pictures ever and please give the author some love - I think they're super adorable! :D
UPDATE: The Hugo picture also got coloured - would you look a that! - I absolutely love everything about it: the lovely flaming hair, the tiny feet - the freckles... In short, he's great! :D

And now to the business part of this post - the reveals! As some of you might have guessed, I took part in this year's hp_nextgen_fest and I threw out another phone book of China (regarding the length) called Intervention. :) It's a very G-rated (with exception of one scene) story told from the perspective of an 11-year-old Scorpius Malfoy, which I wrote back in February, so I had it written before I saw The Curse Child (and Scorp's crush on Rose, LOL). It was meant to be a part of the Ron/Draco fest, but because I had to leave for the US, I ran out of time and I submitted a shorter story ("Dance with me") for that one. The way this story is written, it could fit into any of the two fests. I realise it's not everyone's cookie, because of the child's perspective, lack of porn (LOL!), the pairing and the biblical length, but I had some awesome comments on it, so I'm not complaining at all! :D Here's what I made of it. :)

Title: Intervention (goes to AO3)
Word count: 42.619
Pairings: Scorpius Malfoy/Rose Weasley (future), Draco Malfoy/Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger/Michael Corner
Rating: mostly G, with one R-ish scene
Disclaimer: Try as I might the adoption procedure of the characters is still not going anywhere and I can't call them mine. The story, however, is another matter, but it was done for love, not profit. :)
Warnings: lots of mischievous kids (at least ond of them unscrupulous mastermind), two oblivious, stubborn purebloods who are in grave need of some intervention, one unhappy ex-wife with an utter snot for a boyfriend
Summary: There isn't much to entertain an11-year-old Scorpius Malfoy in his sheltered existence, other than secretly practising magic and listening to his father's daily rants about his working partner, a.k.a. "that colossal idiot" Weasley. But shortly before he embarks on his first year journey to Hogwarts, Scorpius stumbles upon his father's big secret that involves a certain someone his father has been pining for - and suddenly his father's love life seems to call for emergency intervention. Now, what could an 11-year-old possibly do? Not much... but a bunch of 11-year-olds (or not quite) just might surpise you.

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

Autor's note: So I wrote something silly and cheesy up and it's for 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.

( After the cupcakes )

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.
