summary: In 2003, Petunia leaves Little Whinging for good. It is four years before she can talk about it.

note 1: this was written for

hp_beholder 2011. the main header is at the link below, but what i couldn't say there is that it was written for

magnetic_pole, who i adore, and who wanted, among other things "a minor (and marginalized) character like... Petunia Dursley made more human and multi-dimensional". this was my stab at it.

note 2: what i also couldn't say - because it seemed such a giveaway - is that the title is from a patrick wolf song: souvenirs. you can see it here on youtube. or here he is singing it in a lift! ♥

souvenirs and lost luggage

words: under 1000
rating: R?

note 1: i wrote this super tiny ficlet back in early november for

yourealwaysmine, who went to work one day seething with "imagined memories of tom and benedict affairing all over london". i subsequently gmailed it to everyone i thought would have the slightest interest (er... 3 people). BUT. now it is 2011 and we are all in love with benedict cumberbatch, right? so, here. have it.
note 2: beta and squick-removal by

buckle_berry, of course. cheers, bird.

( Tom hangs back at the door for a quick gander )

words: 2000ish
rating: PG-13
summary: marauders era. some shit is about to go down in the shrieking shack. in the meantime, this is in the manner of a deleted scene (or two), i guess.

note: it's disingenuous to say that this was written on the occasion of the 30th birthday of my lovely friend

secrethappiness, since that was about a month ago now, but that was why i started it, so, er, happy birthday, pinn! you'll remember this pairing from 3 fandoms ago. um.
note 2: thank you,

buckle_berry, for the beta. <3

( a little silhouetto of a man )

words: 3600-ish
rating: NC17
warnings: wincest, language, general trashiness

note 1: written for (and posted to)

spnkink_meme. the original prompt was: Sam tops; Dean comes from being fucked, without friction or his dick being touched. Not D/s, more just that Dean wants Sam so much and loves bottoming so much that he just can't help it. NGH. all VERY ANONYMOUS. <3
note 2: set after the kids are all right.
thanks: to

elmathelas for the stirling beta and yankwank, and to

buckle_berry also, for compromising herself like a trooper and reading through. <33

( Read more... )

words: 2300ish
rating: R
warnings: um. tennis slash. cracky premise (although uncracky fic in general). slightly/overtly fetishistic behaviour (mileages may vary). masturbation. I AM BLUSHING SO MUCH.
extra warning: no actual physical federer in this fic.

a/n: this fic stems from some ridiculous and hysterical post-wimbledon chat between myself and

buckle_berry. a lot of blame for this at her door. also thanks for the beta, berriest. love you!

( The unforgiving minute )

words: 1800ish
rating: G
warning: OC muggle pov. unbeta'd.

note: happy birthday,

fitofpique! i love you! i truly believe this will make little or no sense to anyone else. <333

( Mr Mysterio and Henry )

berry’s birthday snupin!
words: 6000ish
rating: R
warning: 1st person pov. also crammed to the gills with sirius black and possibly a bit on the grim side.

note 1: beta’d by lovely

fitofpique. <3
note 2: last year i wrote

buckle_berry the sweetest fluffiest creamcake of a snupin for her birthday, and for mine she wrote a brutal series of violent snupin sex vignettes. well fine. you win, b. this is because i love you. HAPPY BIRTHDAY (a fortnight ago).

( Nothing Here Resets the Clocks )

note: second (and final) bit

buckle_berry and

secrethappiness for advice, suggestions and beta-ing, and especially to

warnings: post-dh - spoilers, denial, loopholes &c.
rating: g
words: 1500

note: for

secrethappiness. HAPPY BIRTHDAY PINN. a day late, and dubious sports night canon, but nothing says i love you pinn like a crossover. beta'd by

buckle_berry, who knows less about sports night than me - if that's even possible. thanks, b'face!

note 1: it's almost a year since i posted the first chapter of this fic as a late birthday present for

fitofpique. so, um. happy late birthday again, piqueface, i love you! the whole saga really belongs to pique and to

cindyjade who have so sweetly read each part and squealed in the right places. it's really all been written with you two birds in mind. <3
note 2: 3 pairs of hands required for holding for this last chapter:

buckle_berry,

secrethappiness and

algernon_mouse. to berry and pinn especially, who've beta'd the whole enterprise, thank you so much! you've been amazing. babies in the post to you soonest. <333

pairing: Snape/Potter
warnings: WIP; minor character death this chapter.
rating: PG-13 this chapter
previously: One: Malfoy Manor; Two: Godric's Hollow; Three: The Burrow; Four: Hagrid's Hut part a; part b

note 1: notwithstanding what Snape thinks, this is not the end; there is one last part to come (epilogue-ish).
note 2: this chapter has been months in the making: if you have been waiting, i'm so so sorry; if you have forgotten all about it, previous chapters are linked above for re-orientation; if you don't even care any more, then i am sadfacing forever, but i take your point.
note 3: all my love to

buckle_berry and

secrethappiness for the lip-smacking beta.

( Chapter Five: The Manor, the Hollow, the end )

2006 was the year of fandom bed-swapping and hiding from the parents. hence the new fic journal (in case any of you weren't sure, i actually spend most of my time being

tarteaucitron), and the horrible necessity of reposting. including the 2005 fic index, which i’ve just now reposted here. one of these days i’ll repost drabbles. that’ll be nice for you all. :D

here’s ( the roundup: )

here’s ( the meme: )

rating: round about R, i think (wanking and language)
note 1: huge huge thanks to

algernon_mouse,

secrethappiness and

buckle_berry who beta'd thoughtfully when i felt it was a lost cause. pinn also kindly gave me the title.
note 2: this was my

slashababy fic, written for

ladysunrope. it's set during "that year" after dom moved to LA, and features a bit of drug-taking and slutting around. i have mixed feelings about this fic, to say the least.

[also archived, along with some great slasha fics, here.]

c.4800 words.

( anyone who'll lie down )

rating: you've never seen anything so tame, i promise.
warning: some other hp characters are dead.
[c.3400 words]

note: this is for

buckle_berry, who is now nearing the end of her twenties. and whom i love. tenderly beta-ed by the lovely

fitofpique.

title: Death Row (4b/5?)
pairing: Snape/Potter
warnings: WIP
rating: R-NC17
previously: One: Malfoy Manor; Two: Godric's Hollow; Three: The Burrow; Four (a): Hagrid's Hut

note: beta'd by

buckle_berry and

secrethappiness; this part with apologies to

buckle_berry, who actually had to sit in person and listen to me read bits of it out. poor thing.

( Chapter Four (b) )

title: Death Row (4a/5?)
pairing: Snape/Potter
warnings: WIP; HBP spoilers
rating: R (this part)
previously: One: Malfoy Manor; Two: Godric's Hollow; Three: The Burrow

note 1: boot lickings to

buckle_berry and

secrethappiness for greatly needed beta-ing and prodding.
note 2, re chapters: so. this is only the first half of chapter four (which has turned out much longer than i anticipated). the second half is in train and should be finished much more quickly. additionally, my plan is still that the thrust of the plot will be finished in five chapters, but - um, yes - there'll probably be an epilogue of sorts too. sorry.
