Dear me, everything below this is seriously out of date! I've got into whole new fandoms since then, and none of it is reflected here. I've accumulated a lot more fan fiction recommendation links on my Delicious profile – Casynnetizen (new), Casynne (old). You're free to browse my BBC Merlin, BBC Sherlock and Harry Potter fan fiction links to your heart's content: https://delicious.com/casynnetizen. Thank you for stopping by! October 1, 2012 If you click on my 'homepage', you will be taken straight to my del.icio.us account, where you will find miscellaneous gen and slash links (200 gen-fics and 1220 slash-fics) recommendations complete with summaries! September 1, 2006 Female. If you've stumbled upon this page, you're probably a curious author whose story I've just reviewed. Never mind. Anyway, you might want to take a look at my favourite stories page, for I've just started to make a list of my favorite stories on ff.net. Thanks for dropping by! June 21, 2006 I'm interested in HP fandom. When I'm on ff.net, I usually look for general HP fics with original plots. Sometimes I may be lured into reading a slash fic, provided the grammar and style of the fic is fabulous, and the author is a good narrator. Occasionally I read some humorous or crack!fics to relieve some stress, but not often, as there are not that many of this kind that are well-written. Please read anything Lightningwave (Lightning on the Wave) has written. Even if you're not a staunch slash fan, even if you do not ship H/D. Believe me, you don't want to miss it. Her stories are a cut above anything else I've ever read. She updates daily, and finishes everything. She's written more than three hundred long chapters since September 15, 2005 – absolutely amazing, and she writes like no other. Go, read. Find everything by jennavere on skyehawke. Won't be sorry. The Veela Enigma is a must-read. It is, of course, complete. If you haven't read Underwater Light by Maya, I've got only one question to ask you – can you read? At all? Or are you utterly and deplorably illiterate? Go, read now! Should you dare defy me and not heed this order, fear my wrath! Not a slash fan? Read anyway. I'm so not impressed with you. I am going to turn this page into one long recommendations list. If you've found this list useful, please, come visit my Lj to say so :) I may update sporadically, but I keep track of what's going on here. In future, there will be more gen fiction recs. It is disgraceful that there are only a handful of well-written, original and intriguing HP gen fics, as most adult authors only bother to write slash. I'd like a good Harry-centric novel-length – completed! – fic, with a bit of Sev, Draco, Ron an Mione thrown in. Therefore, I would like to issue a challenge: write a Harry-centric fic that falls under gen, action/adventure/romance, with Sev, Draco (other Slytherins?) and the Trio as the main characters, Hr/R, a little love triggered angst (jealousy? slashy overtones?), and no suddenly evil!Dumbledore or good!Lucius. Points if it is a time travel fic. No less than 25,000 words. Well, anyone up to the challenge? June 22, 2006 "I don't exactly know what I mean by that, but I mean it." – J. D. Salinger "It is well to remember that the entire universe, with one trifling exception, is composed of others." – John Andrew Holmes "When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth." – Arthur Conan Doyle "Language shapes the way we think, and determines what we can think about." – Benjamin Lee Whorf "I have always been delighted at the prospect of a new day, a fresh try, one more start, with perhaps a bit of magic waiting somewhere behind the morning..."– Joseph Priestley He drew a circle that shut me out – – Edwin Markham, "Outwitted," 1915 Random lines: Two wrongs don't make a right, but three rights make a left. Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else. I understand life isn't fair, but why couldn't it just once be unfair in my favor? The measure of a man's real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out. Nothing would ever get done if it weren't for the last minute. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say may be misquoted and used against you. Education is what you get from reading the fine print. Experience is what you get from not reading it. Two monocles were making love in front of a window and made spectacles of themselves. I love deadlines. I especially like the whooshing sound as they go by. When a thief saw two rings he did a double take. It's true I don't like soap, but you don't have to rub it in my face! When those around King Arthur's table had insomnia, there were a lot of sleepless knights. A Freudian slip is when you say one thing but mean a mother. "debauchee, n. One who has so earnestly pursued pleasure that he has had the misfortune to overtake it." Are your doors and windows weather-sealed? Cats are officially classified as liquids, so it only takes a small opening before your house is filled with cats. (Disclaimer: Not mine.) Two wrongs don't make a right, but two Wrights made an airplane. WARNING! Stay away from stories not marked by 'gen' if under 18! WARNING! Adult content. NOTE. Fics not marked by 'short' are both long and complete, fics not marked by 'gen' are slash. Works in Progress are indicated as such. Some of my current favourites are Draco's Boy (WIP, regularly updated, angst), Draco in Darkness (complete, romance) and Tread Softly (WIP, regularly updated, gen/romance). All highly recommended. However, short ficcie Learning to Uncurl (complete, humour) is amusingly cute as well. There are currently 93 COMPLETED fics on my Favourite Stories list (out of 122), including 'Blood Magic' (finished on Schnoogle archive), 'The Black Secret', 'Welcome to the Real World', 'Deflating', 'No-Shipper's Anthem', 'Trust Changes Nothing', 'And Yet He Flinched'. Twenty three fics are WIPs, updated more or less regularly. Six fics are unfinished ('A Father's Sin', 'Season of Healing', 'What Men Want', 'Yet Another Snape Meets the Dursleys Story', 'A Day In The Life Of Severus Snape', 'Magnetic Attraction' and 'This Means War!"). You'll find there's a lot (more than 30 finished) of severitus kind of fics on my "favourite stories" list, only you have to look for them specifically:) Draco knew his silence was no secret to anyone by this time, and Potter addressed him as though it was a perfectly ordinary thing for wizards to clam up without provocation. A Thousand Beautiful Things by Duinn Fionn "You're just trying to fatten me up!" – "You could certainly use it, you tichy midget." (If you now either the name or the author of the story the above-mentioned quote is from, let me know, ok?) "Now now, I don’t want to lose my only distraction, do I? You come here, you die, and I’m bored again. It’s a dreadful idea." Dear Rival by Bittersweet Revenge (unless my memory deceives me) WIP, last updated May 29, 2006 “Well, I blame Draco, who insists that caffeine is not a food group,” Harry said. (If you now either the name or the author of the story the above-mentioned quote is from, please, let me know!) "Harry, you are the world's worst sucker for a sob story, I swear." The Lodger by Mad Martha Ron stared at him as though he could not believe someone could walk and talk with such an obvious lack of brain power available. (If you now either the name or the author of the story the above-mentioned quote is from, let me know!) "I saw you! Feeling up all over my sister!" (If you now either the name or the author of the story the above-mentioned quote is from, please, let me know!) Lord Voldemort has just regained his full power. Now he can rule the world, annihilate the Muggles, and best of all, gloat about it to all the other, less cool Dark Lords in his support group. (Story summary) The Dark Lord Support Group by NeoSapien GEN, short, crack!fic "I'm sure you realize that this is the second time that you broke an incredibly powerful spell with the force of love. Aren't you afraid you're going to become a cliche?" Harry smiled. "I'll risk it." The Mark Of Cain by Beth H. Lupin must have caught his gaze, for he reached over and snatched up the bottle again. "It really is pretty," he said, fingers tracing one of the patterns of beads along one slope. "Though I don't really understand your fascination with it." Snape frowned, again overcoming his itch to snatch the bottle away from Lupin. "I'm bloody well not fascinated by it--" he began, eyes following the bottle as Lupin stood and set it back on the mantle, where it seemed perfectly steady. Snape could stand it no longer, and stood up, pacing in front of the couch. "I thought perhaps to wish for something harmless--an everlasting store of potions ingredients, or for Albus to finally put on the weight he should from eating all those sweets, but that would simply take you away to an uncertain fate, and no guarantee that your next master will care that you were ever a wizard." I Dream Of Harry by DementorDelta Moments after Severus woke in the morning, he was forced to do what he hadn't attempted for years: he cast a Patronus to deliver a message. He felt an odd shiver of anxiety as he spoke the words Expecto Patronum, wondering if, perhaps, his Patronus had altered its form to look like a crazy old man with a long beard, but as it transpired, his fears were groundless: his Patronus was the same as it had been when Severus was still a teenager. Going Postal by Beth H. Humorous “Do you have some kind of seventh sense, Malfoy,” he retorted angrily, “that tells you when you are the last person in the world that someone wants to see, just so you can show up?” Checkmate by Naadi Moonfeather "It's true, you know. There isn't a student who took your classes who can't recall your opening day speech without a shiver." To his own surprise, Snape took the compliment. How miserable must I be, he thought, that a kind word from Harry Potter warms my soul. "Someone once told me," Snape said, not mentioning the 'someone' was the late, unlamented Lucius Malfoy, "I would be beautiful to a blind man." The Measure Of Our Torment by Amorette The counting voice inside Harry’s head quieted. Why indeed? He closed his eyes. Because love was like that. Love was trying everything possible to understand, to mend things, to forgive wrongs, to hold onto the good. Even if the other person didn’t remember a thing. Cockroach Clusters, Please Ziasudra "I don't understand the fascination he has with me. Remember what I was like at eleven?" Harry shuddered. He hated to think about how young and grateful he'd been when he'd first come to Hogwarts. Ron laughed. "Actually, you were kind of cute in that waif-like way." "So says the straightest man in the Wizarding World." But Harry laughed, too. It was something of a joke between them. His reaction was predictable. "You want to do what to me?" Severus' tone was perfectly horrified. He was sitting up in bed. "I'm just beginning to feel a bit better and you want to put me in pain again." Even before he'd finished, Severus was shaking his head. "No. If anyone is going to come at me with a wand, it's going to be you. Then I'll know who to hex when it doesn't work." Jerusalem by Meri Harry could take a hint when he was hit over the head with it. "Of course. They are my best friends. But it's not like that. With either of them." Outside The Lines by Meri (magnificent post-HBP slash :)) Dumbledore choked on his tea. "Excuse me?" Nice to know he could still shock the old man. Courtship Rituals by Meri Completely confused, Harry knew he must have a stupid expression on his face, but he did not have a single clue what Snape was talking about. "Thinking?" Shadows Of The Past by Meri "It's this universal theme of duplicity that so captures readers through the years. It can certainly be true of historical times and events, but I believe its appeal is that it can be applied on a personal level as well. Living through the best and worst of times, through seasons of light and dark, times of hope and despair, sometimes those times overlapping. What do you think, Harry, does it strike a chord?" Throwaways by Rae Whit "Once I'm a hedgehog, I seem to think too much like a hedgehog. The world is too threatening and I can't bring myself to uncurl. So I stopped transforming years ago because there was no point in curling up in corner." Harry stared opened mouthed, unsure as to what to say but certain that if he laughed, Snape would either hex him or disembowel him or possibly disembowel him with a hex. Learning To Uncurl by Amorette GEN, short, humorous The town of Normal, Illinois lived up to its name. The Normal Public Library on West College Avenue, however, did not. Severus knew that well; he had worked at the library for years and the expected ‘normal public’ had yet to show up. His lip always curled with distaste at this part, letting people in; his library would be so much more pleasant without the patrons ruining it. Somewhere I Have Never Travelled by Melora98 "No effort to fix something wrong is ever wasted." "Dear Merlin, you are starting to sound like Granger." Severus' tone was perfectly horrified. A Hiding To Nothing by Meri Even for the most determined curmudgeon, the isolation had to be hard. "I know who you are. I wasn't expecting you to grow a whole new personality for my amusement. We're not shouting or being horrible to each other. That's all that counts." Whispers Of Intent by Tira Nog "You don't know?" Ron's expression was at first incredulous and then overjoyed. "There's something that I know and you don't?" Courtship Rituals by Meri The earth started to shake. The whole city was trembling, columns and statues crumbling on top of their foundations and now people were starting to believe. Homes began to cave in on themselves and their inhabitants fled in terror. Vesuvius: A Tale Of Freedom by MontanaDan "Logic is far from your strong suit, Mr. Potter. In any outbreak of disease, there must be a first victim. Since I have taken measures to destroy the carriers of this particular pestilence - chameleon fleas, I believe they were - that first victim will also be the last. Hogwarts is safe - or will be safe, once my carcass has been destroyed and my effects and quarters purified. It would probably be safest if everything were burned together and the rooms magically purified afterwards, but Albus is incurably sentimental and will probably insist on a simple purification." He sighed. "Remind him, won't you, that it is not only unsightly and macabre to keep a corpse around for a souvenir, but that the contagion will linger in my cadaver and will pose a definite threat, no matter what stasis spells he has in mind. I would prefer not to wind up as some outré decoration in that curio shop he calls an office." He covered his nose and mouth with a handkerchief and coughed. Worse Than The Disease by Priscilla_hack (hilarious fic!) With a much put-upon sigh Snape replied, "Young people have no sense of romance these days. Do you have any idea how dashing I looked carrying you up here?" A Three Potion Problem by DementorDelta "We shall do this correctly, unlike last time." "There's a more correct way?" As far as Harry was concerned the last time felt awfully right to him. Small Acts by Meri Harry trotted on with exuberance. It was wonderful to feel this way. He’d never felt such freedom. Well, maybe when he’d first ridden his Firebolt, but this… this was just Harry. He needed no equipment: he could just transform and go. He wondered if he could learn to transform as quickly as Sirius had been able to, and he intended to keep practising, but for today he was going to enjoy exploring. Today was a special day, a charmed day, just for him. They Say Miracles Are Past… by Rakina "You can't be the same boy who tortured me through school," Harry whispered. "What are you?" Wings Eclipsing Night by Kcwriter Dark!fic, WIP “Shut up, Granger,” Draco said. “Because I will do that again. And again and again and again as many times as I can before I die of it. And if Harry kills me with that shit, then I’ll die one very happy mother fucker.” “So I’d have to want to die to cast an AK,” Harry stated. “That is so fucked up I can’t even believe it. I’ll ask Albus. He’ll love that. He loves shit he can’t figure out. I keep him full of things like that.” “Harry, watch your language, please,” Albus said. Harry turned over on the mat and lay flat for a moment and kicked his feet like a two year old having a tantrum. Harry started to speak parseltongue and was yelling hard. “He swears in parseltongue so I can’t scold him.” Albus told Draco who laughed softly at the humor of it. .. “Calm down. You might get it next time,” Draco said. “Go ahead and cuss at snakes again. We don’t mind.” Harry laughed and stood with hands on hips for a moment longer. Tomorrow Will Come by Kimberjingle (WARNING: Heavy adult content. Read at your own risk.) Evidently there's an entire group having pervy bird sex with Fawkes," Draco confessed. There was silence in the Slytherin common room as they all came to realise that despite their collective desire to be the baddest of the bad, they were all horribly overwhelmingly outdone. "Well," said Greg slowly, "it is a nice looking bird." Fortunately, Snape sucked in a breath. Unfortunately, when it came out of him again it was in the form of words. Mortification filled Draco. If his mother knew that he was talking with his mouth full, she would commit suicide by some socially acceptable means and be buried, just so that she could roll over in her grave. "If you save me, I promise I'll stop buying all the green scarves I see simply because I think they'll look better on me than anyone else in the world, even if it is the truth. I'll give away twenty of my oldest combs to those who really need them, like Potter. I'll even give away half of my shoes. I mean I'll give away half of the pairs of shoes I own, not give away all of the right or all of the left ones because that would be ridiculous." The Obligatory 'Draco is a Veela' Story that Every HP Fanfiction Author has to Write by Mahaliem Crack!fic “Not my fault you can’t even conjure a decent cooling spell on your own clothing, which still looks like a dog slept on them.” Draco sipped from a bone white china cup, his pinky crooked at the appropriate angle. Harry didn’t see how that was comfortable. He decided to poke his straight out, just to see if it pissed off their host. In The Fullness Of Time by Hysterical Historian (Abigail89) "Actually, I think Ron is jealous of you. Hermione, too, to an extent." "Well, I am better than them in every way," Draco bragged unabashedly as he watched the tattoo spider emerge from beneath Harry's sleeve to crawl over his hand. Harry rolled his eyes. "You're quite modest, too." "Aren't I, though?" Draco utilized his bookmark to open to the correct page in his Charms test. "So, why is ickle Ronnie jealous and how can I rub it in his freckled face?" Draco Malfoy and the Heart of Slytherin by Saber ShadowKitten He found his footing and looked at his coat. Mud spattered the glossy white fur. He scowled unhappily. (..) “Yeah, but I doubt Malfoy would’ve let himself get buggered by a ferret, with Hagrid watching.” Draco cringed. Weasley’s mouth stretched into another malicious grin. “Then again, he might’ve, the freaky pillow-biter.” Hey! “A-hem.” Potter cleared his throat and leveled a hard glare at Weasley. Weasley put up his hands: “Not that all pillow-biters like getting off with ferrets.” (..) “It’s evil,” Potter said, making Draco wonder if he’d spoken human English until Potter tapped his nose in warning. “Ferrets shouldn’t play with that cup. No cup.” Draco scowled. As if he would listen to Potter. That cup is mine. (..) Draco smacked him with the newspaper again for good measure. Then once more because he could. The Misadventures Of Draco Malfoy, Ferret by Sabershadowkat Crack!fic “Oh, of course,” sneered Dudley. “I’ve seen you, playing around with your little stick-” “My, what a surprise,” he drawled, running a negligent hand through his hair. Harry noticed that his nails were painted silver. “What are you doing here?” “They’re like this all the time at school,” Blaise said. “It’s disgusting. Well, and hot, obviously. But it’s so frustrating. Bicker, bicker, jump on each other, roll around, and then back they come bleating ‘I’m not gay, Blaise, I’m not gay.’ I call it pathetic. He looked thoughtful. “I quite like it when people cry.” “You have issues, Malfoy.” “Duh, Daddy is a Death Eater. Anyway, rich kids are supposed to be messed up, they’re the ones who can pay for therapy.” Dancing Queen by Mistful Crack!fic, short You up for a duel?" A trace of the familiar smirk ghosted across his lips. "Purely friendly, of course. Just for practice." "Here?" Harry looked around the room dubiously. "No, you twit," Draco responded with some exasperation. "Do you want to incite the wrath of the Library Overlord? Rules may be made to be broken, but even I'm not that crazy." (..) "I'm 'looking' at you. Finding out the truth. Your words, your voice – they're not saying the same things and it doesn't make any sense to me. But you've never been good at keeping the truth off your face, what you're really feeling." Draco In Darkness by Plumeria "I knew you'd come," Harry whispered, and his face began to glow in the wand's light, green eyes sparkling, too pale skin taking on a luster of joy. "I knew you'd come and get me!" Mine by Gillian GEN Draco made a silent "oh" of understanding. Then he raised an eyebrow. "Wearing your clothes gets me shagged, does it?" he teased, grinning. Harry slunk a little lower in his seat, going a charming shade of pink. "Maybe. Sometimes. Occasionally." Draco laughed in delight. "So you do have a kink for me in your clothes. Why ever would that be?" Harry turned a little pinker. "They're always too big, and it makes you look all vulnerable and cute," he said defensively. "So, you like to shag things that are vulnerable and cute, then? Potter, you beast." He batted his eyelashes innocently. Vertigo by Jennavere WIP, last updated June 14, 2006 "That's not what I mean," Harry said impatiently. "We're going to survive him - you're too smart to let yourself get killed, and I'm too stubborn to die that easily. What I meant is that I want us to stay together - until we kill each other," he added with a grin. The Courtship Of HP by Diana Williams Does he look Confounded to you?" He turned his glare on Harry. "Ignore the insipid look of banality in eyes; that's Harry's normal expression." Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme by Femmeslash He smiled at the pillows. He grinned at the stone walls. He beamed at the bedroom. Virulentus Somnium by Salix Why don't you ever want to kiss me? "Because it would encourage a dangerous downward spiral. You would talk more, so I would have to kiss you to get you to shut up, so you would simply end up following me around and yammering at me in an attempt to earn my oral attention. And do not, ever, call me 'Sev' again." Mobius by Geneticallydead He circled the object slowly, studying it from every angle. Everything on the outside seemed perfectly normal, no mysterious strings or latches visible anywhere. It didn't give off any mysterious scents or sounds, and he couldn't sense any spells anywhere nearby...but surely there was something... The Christmas Gift by Severitus GEN, short Feeling petty, he tucks his feet underneath him, thereby soiling the couch beyond repair. The Way Of The World by Zionsstarfish. I hope he did see me crying. I hope it made him feel guilty for evrythinng. He's completely buggered mlife. He got me dad thrown in prizzon prizzen prisenprizon, which made Mum miserable, &he's completely run me over. Alot. Our first year, on th train! I tried to be friends withim, and he insinuated I wis the wrong kind of person! How dare he! Then he made me feel infeerior when he got on the quidditch team a year before he should've, andhe humiliated me when he had mMoody turn me into a ferrit. A sodding ferret, fergodsake! stupidbloodygitpotterIhatehimmorethanalot. More Than Nothing by Qestral In the dark, I wept for my family. My son was surrounded by wolves, and Narcissa, my lovely white dove, sullied amongst the rats. Aspersions Of A Death Eater by Nyx GEN, short, dark-ish 'Anything interesting going on in the world today?' Harry casually let his gaze travel over the papers scattered across the table as he spoke. Snape cleared his throat softly. 'An horrendous rise in the number of idiots in Britain, apparently,' he said, pointedly staring at Harry. Harry smiled. 'Yeah? What else?' 'Ghastly murder in Grimsby...' 'Really?' 'Yes. Occurs in about five minutes, I believe.' 'You're fucking with me.' Eyebrow. 'I am quite sure I would notice such a development.' 'But you're straight!' Ron insisted. 'Not exactly...' 'You are!' Ron said even more insistently, as though he knew the truth of all this better than Harry did. 'You've always liked girls.' 'Maybe, but I'm not straight though,' Harry shrugged. 'I'm bi, actually. I like both.' Ron's brows met for a brief moment. 'Well, that's just greedy, that is.' Anything Interesting by Bar_bar_ella "He was nasty, mean and arrogant. He never forgot and he never forgave. His teaching style was based on terrorising, bullying and intimidating. He bullied his students. He bullied his colleagues. He bullied the Ministry. See the new greenhouses? Installed last year, when Snape bullied several rich families into donations. No, the school is not in their debt. Actually according to one of them 'we are indebted to the school, because we were able to free ourselves from his pestering so cheaply'. The Eulogy by Viridis GEN, short, humorous (What To Do If You Have Accidentally Joined The Death Eaters And Now Regret It) Verbally abuse yourself at every opportunity. Make sure that no one is left in doubt about your guilt about being a death eater. With practice, even the most mundane conversation can be peppered with remorse and self-disgust. For example, “Would you like a cup of tea?” can be met with the response: “Alas! I (wretch that I am!) would greatly enjoy a cup of tea (not that I deserve it!) with milk and two sugars (and may I be cursed for it!)” The Worst-Case Scenario Handbook: Harry Potter by Cheat and Charmer GEN, short "How was Snape?" "Out of the country, just the way I like him." Girl Most Likely by LizBee GEN, mystery, dark-ish "Hello, Potter," Malfoy cooed, in a strangely seductive voice that had feathers in it. "Long time no see." The way he said that hit Harry like a truck that the author couldn't be bothered to Britpick. "You... you're a Veela," Harry exclaimed, deeply worried at the obvious direction this story was taking. The Veela hormones finally proved overpowering, and Harry buried his nose in Draco's soft, blond, silky, soft, gossamer, satiny, baby-fine, soft, smooth, wispy, and soft flaxen locks. It was very soft. Never Mind The Bollocks by Duinn Fion Crack!fic "Yes, well, collecting Cursed Artefacts is a registered form of madness in the Compendium of Wizarding Mental Disorders and Other Things That Make You Twitch," Severus said, "alongside most compulsions to collect. But it's a very popular one, and I plan to beat everyone else to it." Cursed Artefacts For Sale by Icarus If I find the perv who has been sneaking around taking pictures of me starkers, I'll do worse than an Unforgivable curse! (..) Good news, though. We've found Harry. The git has been hiding under his Invisibility Cloak in the Chamber of Secrets for the past three days to avoid detection. Our darling baby sister went down and hauled him up. You've got to admire her persistence to a goal. At any road, Harry's under 24-hour guard now. And Snape has promised to ensure he doesn't poison or wound him in class. Naked Quidditch Match by Anya GEN, humorous The Nekkid Quidditch! Yey :) .. no relationship is perfect. We quarrel, we sulk, well, that's mostly me. We say stupid things; that's you, mostly. There are countless unhappy moments, but the very worst of them was when I ran into your classroom to see you lying there three days ago." Dance Partners by DementorDelta “What?” Harry drew himself up. “I’m a professional, Minerva. I don’t let schoolboy grudges interfere with how I do my job.” Minerva gave a triumphant smile. “Then I would expect the same holds for your schoolboy infatuation as well.” Ignoring his indignant sputtering, she changed into a cat and padded out of the room. “Duplicitous witch,” Harry said. Somewhere Behind the Morning by Sansa Dumbledore cleared his throat. "I believe--this--belongs to you." The harsh mouth twitched. "Possibly. However did my over-grown canary come to be in your possession?" A Bird In Hand by Igtow Humorous, short “Er. About Sleekeazy’s Potion,” said Harry. “Er. Ron, I’ll kill you if you laugh. Hermione, do you think I should try it?” Ron had to sit down on the camp bed, he was laughing so hard. Hermione pressed her lips together very hard on a smile and went to fetch the Potion, and then she helped him put some on. Once it was done, Harry regarded himself dubiously in the mirror. He had pictured his hair looking - well, sleek, instead of like a hedgehog that had been run over. ".. Did he actually kiss you?” he asked, lowering his voice to what he must fondly imagine was a discreet whisper. “Yes, ah. You enormous freak,” Malfoy added, eyes narrowing. “Not happy cutting people up with your wand anymore? Want to get up close and personal with the victims?” “You Gryffindors are such terrible losers,” Malfoy remarked, persisting in deliberate and malicious pyjama wearing. The Quality Of Mercy by Maya WIP "Yes, well, I'm working on it…" Potter said, his fingers beginning to massage the sensitive spot at Draco's nape, which made Draco curl around his pillow and purr with contentment. There was a light laughing noise coming from somewhere above, but the movement had been, apparently, too sluggish for them to suspect that he was not exactly sleeping. The Basket Case by Grey_hunter WIP "You know what's going to stop you?" Draco said, a sudden telling inspiration on his face. "I'm going to cry. If you try to put that meat puppet of yours into me--" The Worst Happiest Day Of His Life by Amanuensis The chance of persuading a Death Eater to do anything that he doesn't want to is as slim as an anorexic Veela, so best let your LUCIUS get on with his own tasks. You never know, some of them might prove useful. EXCEPTION In the unlikely event you are a Dark Lord, your LUCIUS model will do whatever you ask of him. Lucius: The Owner's Guide and Maintenance Manual by Caemlyn Short “You stupid bastard, Prongs. Now half the girls in school will be after him,” said Sirius Black. Shock And Awe by Azazello Short, humorous In his early years, Harry had sometimes wondered how things would've played out if he had taken the Sorting Hat's offer for Gryffindor... If he hadn't run into Draco and his father searching for a way onto Platform 9 3/4, if Weasley hadn't brushed off Draco so rudely that Harry felt he had to intercede for his new acquaintance... Slytherin Lovers by Kennahijja Short "Man, it's fucking creepy when he does that gliding shit. God gave us feet so we can hear people coming. He don' have feet." The Home Fries Nazi by Pir8fancier “Is that why you called me here?” Harry demanded. “I mean, for the love of—look, does a snoozeless Snape really constitute a catastrophe?” Sleepless In The Dungeons by AbstractConcept Short Most amusing sessions ever as Malfoy was clearly not expecting Potter upon arrival. Is wrong to laugh at other's misfortune, but not called schadenfreude for nothing. Malfoy and Potter bickered for both sessions; Carla and I shared Bertie Botts and watched. From The Patient Files Of S. Freud And C. Jung by Hackthis Short, crack!fic "I was mildly curious as to who the 'disreputable looking desperate ruffian' was that my agent outbid." "Oh, you-- you total--" Happiness Involving A Tea House by Nopejr Short "Funny how that's what Voldemort required of you, too! So easy to wash your hands of something by appealing to your 'hidden purpose.' Well, let me tell you something, Severus--there are no hidden purposes. We are what we pretend to be, and you certainly played your part to the hilt! Are those people you killed any less dead because you had a hidden purpose?" Leniency by Rex Lucus GEN, short, dark-ish Snape: Enter Albus, tastelessly clad Albus: The Most Grievous And Lamentable Tragedie Of The Death Of Lord Voldemortby Rowen_r GEN, short, parody Being a Death Eater is naturally a dangerous job. Lord Voldemort accepts no liability for any pain/suffering/torture/impalement/loss of limbs/grievous bodily harm/disintegration/insanity/imprisonment/loss of soul/death which you may experience whilst in his service. No good will come of any attempts to sue him as a negligent employer. Trust us. So You Want To Be A Death Eater? by Rowen Redford GEN, short, parody McGonagall took a deep breath and reminded herself that this was what she wanted. “That is precisely why I wished to speak with you, Severus. We feel that destroying the little creature is for the best, but, well, none of us have the heart to do it. We were wondering if you...” She held her breath and waited for the blast. When it came, it was carefully controlled and icy. “So. Now I am the official killer of kittens, am I? New job for an old Death Eater? Right up my alley?” “I have killed for less,” he growled. The kitten purred. Here, Kitty, Kitty... by Smoke GEN, short, humorous (Potionne to make one one monthe older) Go to apothecary. Stare at pathetic store of live slugs which look disgusting and wonder if it would be better to wait and get older by self. Try to figure out which is rats brains and which is mouse brains. Real Potion Making by ? GEN, short, humorous It took him a while to identify the extremely peculiar expression that crawled over Snape's thin, sallow face: he had never before seen Snape look horrified. Harry suddenly realised what Snape must be thinking. The Slytherin Kama Sutra by Angie Astravic GEN, short, humorous "I think," Harry said tentatively, "we should keep this too ourselves. If word gets out, you could be a target." Right, Draco thought, being a target would be quite bad. Silver Linings by Mahaliem Short, crack!fic NOTE.
