So, this one was my contribution to remixredux08. I don't think that the original author has the original story up yet (I'm working on it!), but I do think this stands well enough on its own. She seems to really like my interpretation, and I enjoyed writing it very much, so overall I'm quite pleased. I have some meta-y thoughts I'd like to go on about, but I' ( Read more... )

This is that post-DH Snape fic I talked about; originally intended to be a sort of "five people Severus Snape met in heaven" sort of deal, but it turned out very differently, not at all like I intended it to. Not sure if it works, but I do like some of it. :)

You can pretty much disregard this entry - I'm just chronologically cataloguing all the H/D fic I've written and collaborated on for my RPG (_amortentia_) so that it's all right there when I want it. :)

Title: Like Spinning Plates
Pairing: Harry/Draco
Authors: aurieal and justholdstill
Rating: PG (for language, mostly)
Notes: Follow-up to the much happier Birthday. *sigh* Writing the banter was fun. Writing the rest of it? ...not so fun. *hands out tissues*

( They sauntered down Diagon Alley in the warmth of a late afternoon sun. The streets were remarkably less crowded than Harry had ever seen them - it was probably too early in the month for the back-to-school rush, when all manner of young witches and wizards would swarm through the narrow shops. Now there were only a few people moving to and fro, and Harry almost thought he could get away with taking Draco's hand, if he had been so inclined. He might have, but Draco was careful to walk at least two paces ahead from Harry at all times, as if being any closer would somehow broadcast their relationship to the world at large. )

Because hype45 asked for it, and I was more than happy to oblige. :) My rambling in italics.

Barring Accidents

( History, in its making, runs quietly on as it has always done - the hands of the clock move, things change, they stay the same - but, Dakin has discovered, it is possible to put your foot out and trip History up a little, not enough to make him fall, or to turn round and go the other way, but enough to make him stumble and then carry on. )

I did it. I sat down last night and finished the fic I've been working on and angsting over for the better part of two years in under three hours. Here it is, not half as good as I think it is. I can't bear to look at it anymore, but it is my baby, and I'm so glad to be able to show it to you all now.

In celebration of the triumphant return of pornish_pixies, I come bearing porn. Het porn, so it's slightly incongruous, but what the hell. Hermione is 16 (and therefore underage) in this fic, but the crowning glory is that I wrote it when I was sixteen (and thus underage myself), so I felt that giving it it's first public airing now was an appropriate thing to ( Read more... )

Ummm....yeah. My audience for this is likely nonexistent, but I'll put it up anyway.

So it's two thirty in the morning, and I'm awake because one of the disadvantages of living across from a lovely park is that on weekends it is an ideal place for drunken yahoos to do their drunken yahoo-ing. One of the advantages of living across from the park is that I get a perverse pleasure from calling the police on drunken yahoos having ( Read more... )
