Who will drive the other mad first? Yaxley or Granger? Warnings/Content Information (Highlight to View): * Dub-Con, Stockholm/Lima Syndromes*. Author's/Artist's Notes: Story jumps around in time a bit. Like most stories, it begins at the beginning of an end and then ends at the new beginning. Thank you to the letters L and U for their assistance in Beta-ing. Also thank you to Delphi for granting me multiple extensions as Iacob Yaxley refused to be part of any scenario not condoned by The Well Bred Warlock Guide.

atdelphi: FIC: "Come Back to Haunt You" for therealsnape
Recipient: TheRealSnape Author/Artist: ??? Title: Come Back to Haunt You Rating: Teen Pairings: Moaning Myrtle/Minerva McGonagall, background Minerva McGonagall/Amelia Bones Word Count: 4000 Medium: Fic Warnings/Content Information (Highlight to View): * Grief; one character is dealing with the death of another. Also, an apparent May-December romance, although I believe the characters feel themselves to be of the same age.*. Summary: Nothing about love makes sense. Author's/Artist's Notes: In my universe, for a number of reasons you probably don’t need to hear about at length, Pottermore never existed. What you do need to know here is that your gentle author never adjusted her initial assessment of Minerva McGonagall’s age. The Minerva McGonagall of “Come Back to Haunt You” is a contemporary of Tom Riddle, as is the ghost known as Moaning Myrtle. Thank you to my accidental beta S and to for accepting the torch.

Title: Dull as Dirt, Brilliant as the Stars Rating: PG-13 (for a few words) Pairings: Gregory Goyle/Millicent Bulstrode, past Vincent Crabbe/Millicent Bulstrode Word Count: 4,343 words Medium: fic Warnings/Content Information (Highlight to View): * mention of canon character death*. Summary: Greg is lost without Vince, but he somehow manages to find Millicent. Author's Notes: I apologize for the state of this fic. It was going to be rather grander in scope and backstory, but my computer crashed, and I lost it. This is what I managed to come up with (and I appreciate atdelphi’s patience with me!). There might be just the slightest creative flexing of canon, but it should be nearly imperceptible. ( Dull as Dirt, Brilliant as the Stars )

Available on AO3: http://archiveofourown.org/works/817947/Recipient: alisanne Author/Artist: ??? Title: Do Pass Go. Rating: PG Pairings: Millicent/Dudley Word Count: ~5100 Medium: Text Warnings/Content Information (Highlight to View): * None*. Summary: When Millicent Bulstrode had to run from Hogwarts in her seventh year, she would never have dreamed where she would end up – and with whom. Author's/Artist's Notes: This went somewhere completely different than I had planned. But I liked the idea, even if I don't know whether I managed to do it justice. (Or something in the same post code at least.) ( Do Pass Go )

atdelphi: FIC: "The Aftermath" for songquake
Recipient: songquake Author/Artist: ??? Title: The Aftermath Rating: PG-13 Pairings: Charity/Hermione, Dudley/Neville, Pomona/Minerva Word Count: 3770 words Warnings/Content Information (Highlight to View): *canon character death, fanon character survival*. Summary: In the days after the Battle for Hogwarts, there was much healing work to be done. Fortunately all of creation was helping Author's/Artist's Notes: Dear Songquake, I hope with all my heart that this amuses you. When you mentioned Charity surviving, a whole cascade of head-canon came flowing in, and this asked to be written. The inspiration for Dudley’s perhaps unlikely appearance comes from this artwork: http://dudley-redeemed.livejournal.com/18651.htmlMany, many thanks and blessings to my kind and thoughtful betas MBR & K.

atdelphi: FIC: "Colour to a Sunset Sky" for cuorefreddo
Recipient: cuorefreddoAuthor/Artist: ??? Title: Colour to a Sunset Sky Rating: NC-17 Pairings: Oliver Wood/Gregory Goyle, brief mention of past Oliver Wood/Harry Potter and suggestion of Harry Potter/Draco Malfoy Word Count: ~5,600 Warnings/Content Information (Highlight to View): * Character death (not Gregory or Oliver), mild Angst, some violence, hurt/comfort*. Summary: Oliver would watch him sometimes, recognising him vaguely, like an old memory which had gone fuzzy around the edges with the passing of time. A story of a fragile and unlikely friendship which grows into something more. Author's/Artist's Notes: I have never written either of these characters before so I had to take a lot of time researching the snippets we can glean from canon, which was such a fun exercise. For the purposes of the fic I have departed from canon and assumed the Dementors are still guarding Azkaban post Deathly Hallows, although this was unlikely to be the case. The title is loosely adapted from the Rabindranath Tagore quote “Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add colour to my sunset sky.” Thank you to V for cheerleading and support and to A for the beta read. ( Colour to a Sunset Sky )

atdelphi: FIC: "The Cat and the Parasol" for fluffyllama
Recipient: fluffyllamaAuthor/Artist: ??? Title: The Cat and the Parasol Rating: NC-17 Pairings: Sybill Trelawney/Minerva McGonagall Word Count: ~8063 Medium: Words. Lots of words, but perhaps not so many as others are using. Warnings/Content Information (Highlight to View): * Sex (oral, digital, magical) between the main characters. *. Summary: Sybill Trelawney adjusts to her appointment as Hogwarts' Divination Professor. Author's Notes: * Did you know there's regional variation in how the name "Sybill" is spelled? As in, there's one in the UK and another in the US. Since this is a gift, I took fluffyllama's lead and used the spelling from her sign-up. * fluffyllama, I hope you enjoy this bit of insight into a relationship that features sex without "Twoo Wuv" and a relationship that "shouldn't work but somehow [does] against all the odds." * Thank you to the squad of lightning-fast beta readers who looked this over after the last minute had long passed: A, R, and W. You are absolute lifesavers. Any remaining mistakes are my own. * And thank you, once more, to atdelphi, who has gone above and beyond her duty in coping with me. Thank you for hosting this fest, and not kicking me out on my arse weeks ago. ( The Cat and the Parasol )
