we're all stories in the end

So it turns out political despair is what will finally get me writing again? I've got nothing.

The Devolution of Muggle-Magical Relations
Harry Potter/UK Politics RPF ; Hermione Granger, Nicola Sturgeon ; G, gen, 800 words ; also at the AO3

An unofficial sequel to raven's a historic and seismic shift.

( Hermione can feel herself physically bristling over the morning papers )

The Rumour Mill
Harry Potter; Luna/Ginny; ensemble
PG-13, 3000 words
Summary: People really do focus on the strangest things.
Notes: Written for lgbtfest - prompt: Luna has always had as open, untroubled, and inquisitive an attitude toward sexuality as toward everything else, but other people aren't quite so accepting. Many thanks to liseuse and cho_malfoy for helping me out with this!

"So, Luna, what about you? Got any secret, burning crushes?"

hp_summergen reveals are now up! I'll do a big recs post at some point. Also, I probably will tweak the first story I wrote, I Know Where The Summer Goes, a bit more before I post it, but here is my pinch-hit, which I was quite pleased with, in the end - it was a lot of fun to write a couple of characters I don't usually tackle.

The World Is Waiting For You
PG, 2500 words
Hermione, Luna, Lavender, Neville
Summary: Four scenes, four characters, one summer. A school, a place of things beyond their wildest imaginings, awaits.
Notes: Written for st_aurafina at hp_summergen, originally posted here.

( Hermione liked the hot sun and the beach well enough, but it wasn't as good as the things she read about, stories about boarding schools and talking animals and magic wands. )
