a flame in two cupped hands
Harry Potter ; Remus/Sirius ; PG-13 ; 3000 words
Sirius didn't crouch down to tuck the coat under Remus's shoulders, didn't press a soft kiss to Remus's forehead the way he wanted.

title from Margaret Atwood, written for [livejournal.com profile] glass_icarus at [livejournal.com profile] rs_small_gifts, with thanks to [livejournal.com profile] sunnyrea and [livejournal.com profile] silyara for betaing!

Sirius sat on the shop floor, felled by an avalanche of top-shelf Christmas decorations, baubles still clattering down around him.
Cleaning out my folders, and lo, some salvagable ficbits from [livejournal.com profile] hogwarts_elite contests past. This requires the creation of new character tags and everything, how thrilling.


Stars Half-Reached
Harry Potter ; Marlene McKinnon ; PG-13 ; 1,300 words ; prompt of childhood
Before the death, there was a life.

Marlene McKinnon was eighteen years and ten months old when she died. )

Pass It On
Harry Potter ; Remus, Minerva ; PG ; 800 words ; prompt of a DADA teacher

The kettle started whistling. )

In This Darkness
Harry Potter ; Neville, Slughorn ; PG ; 600 words ; prompt of house unity during Deathly Hallows
Hogwarts stands protected.

The school felt suspended over a chasm, with both sides scrambling to claim it and the whole precarious lot poised to disappear over the edge at any moment. )

Potential
Harry Potter ; Harry, James II ; G ; 500 words ; prompt of the epilogue kids
There's an unexpected letter in the latest Hogwarts batch.

'There's been some kind of mix up, I was just going to write to Professor Longbottom.' )
Warm and very belated birthday wishes to the folks I've missed recently: happy birthday, [livejournal.com profile] oddsbobs, [livejournal.com profile] ponkie, [livejournal.com profile] ladylai, [livejournal.com profile] fauxkaren, [livejournal.com profile] mindabbles, [livejournal.com profile] la_onza, [livejournal.com profile] out_there, [livejournal.com profile] _emeraldgreen and [livejournal.com profile] snorkackcatcher! I hope all of you had wonderful days. ♥ ♥ ♥

Rec! My story at [livejournal.com profile] dw_cross has been posted, and it is fantastic.

No Such Gorram Thing, by anonymous at [livejournal.com profile] dw_cross, PG-13, Doctor Who/Firefly.

In which the crew of Serenity variously encounter a strange man with a blue box. Funny, ingenious, and sometimes not a little gut-wrenching, this is a perfect meshing of two canons with bang-on insights into the characters from both shows.

The masterlist for Round Two of the [livejournal.com profile] rs_games is up! Authors stay anonymous until the 21st, and I know I have some catch-up reading to do before then. I really want to talk about my story, actually. *sits on hands*

HBP delayed until summer '09, oh noes! I'm not really invested in the films per se, but they're a lot of fun through the visor of fandom, and something to get HP fandom buzzing a little post-series. Mind you, having it in the summer is no bad thing in my book - plenty of time for multiple viewings and inappropriate amusement. (Ah, the OotP film, in the Summer of Potter, watching it on the IMAX screen with [livejournal.com profile] bruadar and laughing way too much at Aberforth and the goats, good times.)

Speaking of HP, I just found a whole bunch of ficbits written for [livejournal.com profile] hogwarts_elite contests, some of which are probably worth posting. I should get on that.

I'm very excited about the Torchwood radio play, now confirmed for broadcast on September 10th as Radio 4's Afternoon Play (hahahaha what will the Radio 4 crowd make of it?). Written by Joseph Lidster, previously seen writing 'A Day In The Death', and perhaps more importantly, a writer for Big Finish, I am hopeful this will be good! The link also provides information on how to listen to it if you're outside the UK.

The title of the miniseries they're doing next year has also been announced: 'Children of Earth', whatever that might mean. So there really is going to be a five-part honest to goodness plot, what show am I watching again? *g* I'm really interested to see what it's like with the new format, yet simultaneously sadfacing about British telly's continued aversion to lengthy shows. *sigh* It's a long time to 2010!

And lastly, I am so pleased the Who vid lovefest that I posted yesterday seems to be spreading the warm fuzzies out a little. This was the aim! I love my show and its immense amount of hugging.
Baby Names
Harry Potter
James, Lily, Sirius
PG, 600 words
Summary: Coming up with names proves more challenging than previously imagined.
Notes: Inspired by JKR's recent prequel. Written for [livejournal.com profile] trowicia - happy birthday, darling! ♥

'Names! Baby names! A name to do proud to our imminent offspring.' )

(This post brought to you by exam skittishness and awful sleeping habits, woo!)

All right folks, it's been a while: prompt me!

Drop a line below, fandom, characters/pairing, some sort of a prompt, whatever you like, and receive comment!fic in exchange. Any fandom I know is fair game, so have at it!

eta - so far:

Harry Potter:
Remus/Sirius [summer]
Marauders [Sirius' sexual awakening]
Luna [Luna during school]
James/Lily [Remus/Sirius as they affect James/Lily, Ming vases]
Remus/Sirius [under the bed]
Andromeda & Lily [motherhood]


Whoverse:
Rose & the Doctor [Rose/Doctor, first episode]
Martha/Tosh [playing doctors]

Good Omens:
Aziraphale & Crowley [pseudocrossover - Aziraphale & Crowley sit down to watch some TV; Doctor Who 4x08 spoilers]

Thanks a lot everyone who's being playing, keep them coming!
Man, the internet totally blew the surprise, JKR's writing me birthday fic! Yeah yeah, it's first seen the day before technically, but it's online on the 11th, so there you go! And it's about James and Sirius and everything. I am very amused and greatly looking forward to it; how badly can 800 words joss all our fanon anyway? ... wait don't answer that. (No, but seriously, I'm living in optimistic mode whereby I don't think this is really going to throw us any major curveballs.)

Inspired by the occasion, [livejournal.com profile] magnetic_pole has decreed that there should be [livejournal.com profile] 800_words: Use 800 words exactly, no more, no less, to tell us what happened in the years before Harry's birth. Stake your claim before unexpected new canon hits us! I'd love to contribute something, but um. In the process of being examined right now. We shall see. But fellow Marauder writers, go forth and flashfic away!
So, I'm re-reading Deathly Hallows, and just finished Chapter 10 (Kreacher's Tale) and feel the need to think out a few backstory things.

Spoiler cut. )
