atdelphi: FIC: "Calm Before the Storm" for escribo
Recipient: escribo Author/Artist: ??? Title: Calm Before The Storm Rating: PG Pairings: Minerva McGonagall/Madam Rosmerta Word Count: 2700 Warnings/Content Information: None Summary: It's 1970, and there are signs that all is not well in the Wizarding World. Rumours surround several mysterious disappearances, and even at Hogwarts a growing sense of unease can be detected. All the more reason, as far as Minerva McGonagall is concerned, why the fate of the annual Staff Summer Picnic should not be left in the hands of Albus Dumbledore. Author's/Artist's Notes: Thank you to J. for all his help and S. for what must have been the most annoying beta ever. ( Calm Before the Storm )

Recipient: ragdollArtist: ??? Title: Constant Vigilance Rating: NC-17 Pairings: Sybill Trelawney/ Alastor Moody Medium: Pencil on Paper Warnings/Content Information (Highlight to View): * "none"*. Summary: Sybill entertains a guest and Alastor finds that, once again, constant vigilance pays off. Artist's Notes: I was thinking of this as a sort of dance of the seven veils, though with Sybill I imagine it was more likely a dance of the four veils, two shawls, and a bath towel. ;P Regardless, I'm thinking that Alastor really enjoyed himself, and I hope you like it, too, ragdoll! ( Constant Vigilance )Recipient: ragdollArtist: ??? Title: More Than Skin Deep Rating: R Pairings: Nymphadora Tonks/ Alastor Moody Medium: Pencil on Paper Warnings/Content Information (Highlight to View): * "none"*. Summary: Beauty, like supreme dominion is but supported by opinion. ~Benjamin Franklin Author's/Artist's Notes: I figure that a woman who can change her appearance as easily as she changes her socks knows that everything that really matters is more than skin deep. I hope you like this, ragdoll, I had a great time drawing it for you! ( More Than Skin Deep )

atdelphi: FIC: "Fallow Fields" for shadowycat
Recipient: shadowycat Author: ??? Title: Fallow Fields Rating: R Pairings: Pomona Sprout/Severus Snape, other Hogwarts staff, Cedric Diggory Word Count: ~20K Warnings/Content Information (Highlight to View): * [Angst, h/c, first time, oral (both), frottage, plain old fucking]*. Summary: Series of behind-the-scenes moments between Pomona, Severus & a few others Author's Notes: There are two birthdates provided for Pomona Sprout in canon, one being 15 May 1931 as well as 15 May 1941. For the purposes of this fic, I chose the latter. I used a mix of book, film and Pottermore canon for this fic, most especially for certain revelations re: Professor McGonagall. Also, I admit this (NSFW!) bit of art might have inspired me just a tad for one scene.... Happy Beholding, shadowycat!

Recipient: albalark Author: : ??? Title: Two Capable Women Rating: R Pairings: Irma Pince/Minerva McGonagall Word Count: 6700 Warnings/Content Information (Highlight to View): * none* Summary: A great many dreadful things have befallen the Hogwarts staff over the years, but the motivational training by Wilberforce (Bertie) Arbuthnot counts among the worst. However, Irma and Minerva rise to the occasion with the fortitude one may expect of two very capable women. Author's/Notes: : My thanks, as always, to my fabulous betas. Not only for the many improvements they made to this story, but also for the courage with which they relived their worst Inspirational Speaker traumas and their generosity in allowing me to use them.

atdelphi: FIC: "The Spirit Is Willing (And the Flesh Is Weak) for nothorse
Recipient: nothorseAuthor/Artist: ??? Title: The Spirit Is Willing (And The Flesh Is Weak) Rating: NC-17 Pairings: Neville Longbottom/Millicent Bulstrode, Neville Longbottom/Millicent Bulstrode/Moaning Myrtle Word Count: ~5215 Warnings/Content Information (Highlight to View): * [threesome, polyamoury, ghost sex]*. Summary: Neville is elated when Millicent gets a position at Hogwarts so they can finally be together. However, with a jealous Myrtle on his hands, their relationship may not have a ghost of a chance. Author's Notes: Dear nothorse, this may be the oddest pairing I’ve ever written, so you've only got yourself to blame. You gave me a lot of free rein to do what I wanted, but I loved the idea of characters settling into adult life and romance, at least the living, breathing ones, so there's that plus polyamoury and a little bit of fluff. Thank you so much for the prompts! I hope you like it! Thanks to my dearest S. for all the betaing and brilliant suggestions, and for keeping me going when I wasn’t sure if I should. And my undying gratitude to our fantabulous mod atdelphi for putting together such a fantastic fest, and for being so patient with me. ( The Spirit Is Willing (And The Flesh Is Weak) )

atdelphi: FIC: "The Reluctant Phoenix" for dueltastic
Recipient: dueltasticAuthor/Artist: ??? Title: The Reluctant Phoenix Rating: Up to NC-17 (although most of the story rates lower) Pairings: Albus Dumbledore/Minerva McGonagall, Horace Slughorn/Elphias Doge, Albus Dumbledore/Horace Slughorn Word Count: ~23,600 Warnings/Content Information (Highlight to View): * Cross-gen - teacher/student (Minerva is 18), infidelity in secondary pairing.*. Summary: Albus thought that he was a non-running member of the human race when it came to romantic relationships. If pushed, he would have said that he was the kind of wizard who preferred wizards. -All that, of course, was before Minerva came along. Author's/Artist's Notes: Thanks to dueltastic for such open-ended and thought-provoking prompts. I have tried to incorporate elements of your following suggestions into this story: "non-traditional relationships, things people make work in their own ways when it's not obvious how or why it does", "eras and places we see only hints of in canon", "age differences being acknowledged", "blurry definitions" and "fluidity in gender roles and sexual orientation."

Recipient: thisaestus Author/Artist: ??? Title: Save the Last Dance for Me Rating: PG Pairings: Poppy Pomfrey/Minerva McGonagall Word Count: ~ 3,5 k Medium:Warnings/Content Information (Highlight to View): * None*. Summary: Poppy hadn’t expected to find someone this late in life, but she was far from complaining. Author's/Artist's Notes: I have never written either of those characters as the main focus of a fic before, let alone that pairing, and it was interesting as well as enjoyable. It probably wouldn’t hurt to know Minerva’s secondary canon for this fic as I used it quite a bit. Otherwise it sticks to canon as much as possible and takes place mostly during OotP. Many thanks go to W for beta’ing and cheerleading and to the mods for running this! I really hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it, thisaestus! ( Save the Last Dance for Me )

Summary: Dudley Dursley is not a common man, he has his preferences and his principles, and he lives by the rules, always. The rules, however, are his own. Author's/Artist's Notes: Dear Miss_Morland, I much doubt that this is what you had in mind, however, I do hope you enjoy at least some bits of it. Many thanks to T for the dedicated beta and Britpick. If it's still wrong, it's all mine. Love Is a Battlefield(Don't forget to return to this page to leave feedback for the author!)

Warnings/Content Information: * None*. Summary: After her boyfriend Arthur ended in the hospital wing with several broken bones and couple of broken ribs for trying to re-create a muggle flying machine, a spooked Molly Prewett pays him a visit to ensure he is alright, and to give him a piece of her mind about his carelessness. Author's/Artist's Notes: I hope you like it vlorahp! Your prompts really inspired me, and tickled me to taken on Hogwart's age Arthur-Molly, who I been wanted to draw for a while. Hope this tickles your "strong female character" bone, but don't worry- Molly is not actually going to hex Arthur-- she just wants to emphasize to him how worried sick she was over him, and for him to promise to be careful in the future.

Summary: Yaxley liked his women a special way, but there was something special with her, something that changed him. Author's/Artist's Notes: I must apologise to my recipient because this might not be exactly what you had in mind, it’s not even what I had in mind. The obsession isn’t exactly as I wanted it to be, but hopefully you’ll like it. Although I didn't describe Yaxley as much as I should, his voice rang through my head every time he spoke.
