The Week Ahead
Posting will take place on April 13, 14, 15, 17 and 18.

Title: Interpreting Draconis
Team: AU! (YES! We rock!)
Author: dacro
Prompt: 2. "Time is Galleons, little bro, time is Galleons."
Wordcount: 11,043
Rating: R
Warnings: Implied minor character death.
Summary: Draco, the Deaf son of a wealthy businessman, has always had the best of everything, including a habit for rapid signing and a reputation for having a short fuse. When his father disappears, the interpreters who have been on the receiving end of Draco's attitude and temper refuse to work for him. Enter Harry, our 'new on the block' interpreter with a heart of gold, exemplary skills, and a few secrets in his pocket.
Author's Note: Deaf: capital D is used for someone who uses sign language as their primary means of communication, is involved in the larger Deaf community and follows collective cultural norms.

Thank you to djin7 for the vital brainstorming session, to the hd_worldcup mods for yet another opportunity to research and have the time of my life, to all my AU teammates for keeping morale up and to my beta army: saladbats, joanwilder, lusiology, thesamanthahope, kirinin and dracofiend. You are the best cheerleaders an author could hope for.

Title: Hi, My Name is Harry and I'm an Alcoholic! (Or the story in which Harry thinks Draco is parading around in New York as Simone, the existentialist philosopher in disguise)
Team: Epilogue
Author: dadomz
Prompt: 2. "Time is Galleons, little bro, time is Galleons."
Wordcount: 15,726
Rating: R
Warnings: Mentions of sex, alcohol, mild exhibitionism, absurd metaphors, crude and creative profanities; manifestations of fragments, compound-complex sentences, and maybe necrophilia—so no cops hightailing me for voyeuristic exploitation of prepubescent minds, okay?
Summary: Circa 2004. Please view title.
Author's Note: Thank you i_l0ve_my_az. I love the fact that I came up with more than 10k worth of words—I think that in itself is a milestone. The story is mostly inspired by Noah and the Whale's song "Five Years Time"—please listen to it, it's awesome.

Title: In For A Knut, In For A Galleon
Team: EWE
Author: abusing_sarcasm
Prompt: 2. "Time is Galleons, little bro, time is Galleons."
Wordcount: ~6,200
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Mostly just silliness and innuendo with a splash of boys kissing. Oh, and some spanking.
Summary: Draco's in a race against the clock and all Harry wants to do is distract him.
Author's Note: HUGE thanks to all my teammates, particularly supergreak, chibitoaster, and my co-captain aoifene. Love to my non-team betas, aki_hoshi and bryoneybrynn, without whom I would be lost. Go team EWE!
