atdelphi: FIC: "A Living Memory" for pyttan
Recipient: pyttanAuthor/Artist: ??? Title: A Living Memory Rating: 16 Pairings: Viktor Krum/Harry Potter Word Count: 41 000 Warnings/Content Information (Highlight to View): * Violence, very minor character death, book I is not in chronological order*. Summary:Harry thought that life after the war would be calmer, but the new Minister has a vendetta and has evoked an old law that threatens the lives of any who stand in his way. His latest victim, Viktor Krum. No one thinks much on it until all the people who've been arrested start disappearing without a trace from their cells. Harry is put on a task force to hunt him down, but when the group turns on him, Krum is the one to save him. Trapped in a time not their own with only cryptic clues from an even more cryptic Unspeakable, they have to work together to figure out the mystery of the TimeLoop. Author's/Artist's Notes: First and foremost, I want to thank O. for helping me not only with a beta, but also with my plot, title, editing and summary. Without her story would not be the same. I also want to give a shoutout to my other beta and Britpicker, L. Thank you dear, you have been fantastic spotting all my little mistakes.

atdelphi: FIC: "Magnetism" for anguis_1
Recipient: Anguis Author/Artist: ??? Title: Magnetism Rating: PG Pairings: Dudley Dursley/Millicent Bulstrode Word Count: about 3700 Medium: fic Warnings/Content Information (Highlight to View): * None*.

atdelphi: FIC: "The Well Bred Warlock: A Guide to Wooing, Courting and Every Day Behavior..." for imera
Recipient: imera Author: ??? Title: The Well Bred Warlock: A Guide to Wooing, Courting and Every Day Behavior for the Pureblood Wizard Rating: R – Language Pairings: Yaxley/Hermione Granger, mentions of HG/RW, Y/FOC Word Count: ~40,000 Summary: When a tradition bound, beplaited Iacob Yaxley takes anarchist Hermione Granger prisoner, he must rely on the The Well Bred Warlock Guide for help. 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.

atdelphi: FIC: "Dull as Dirt, Brilliant as the Stars" for odogoddess
Recipient: psyficAuthor: ??? 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 )

atdelphi: FIC: "Your Battle Scars" for brightflower
Recipient: brightflower Author/Artist: ??? Title: Your Battle Scars Rating: PG Pairings: Marietta/Cho Word Count: 2 150 Warnings/Content Information (Highlight to View): * None*. Author's/Artist's Notes: I hope you like this, brightflower! I’m very much indebted to my lovely beta for her help, and to atdelphi for running the fest ♥ ( Your Battle Scars )

atdelphi: FIC: "Do Pass Go" for alisanne
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. ( The Aftermath )

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: "Salazar's Curse" for magnetic_pole
Recipient: Magnetic_pole/Maggie Author/Artist: ??? Title: "Salazar's Curse" Rating: Mature Pairings: Severus Snape/Yaxley Word Count: ~7300 Medium: fiction Warnings/Content Information (Highlight to View): * None*. Summary: Yaxley is confused but intrigued by powers that don't conform to his life-long expectations. Author's/Artist's Notes: Thanks to Delphi for enticing me to think outside of my box. Thanks to my betas for help and consideration! ( Salazar's Curse )
Tue, May. 7th, 2013, 06:06 am
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 )

atdelphi: FIC: "A Petty Argument" for alley_skywalker
Recipient: Alley_skywalker Author/Artist: ??? Title: A Petty Argument Rating: Teen Pairings: Dolohov/L. Malfoy Word Count: 1,687 Medium: Fic Warnings/Content Information (Highlight to View): * [shortages of basic supplies.]*. Summary: Sometimes official correspondence turns into something completely different. Author's/Artist's Notes: I did not expect this to go the way it did! ( A Petty Argument )
Mon, May. 6th, 2013, 06:18 am
atdelphi: FIC: "The Barley Fields" for nevrafire
Recipient: nevrafire Author/Artist: ??? Title: The Barley Fields Rating: PG-13 Pairings: Isobel (Ross) McGonagall / Robert McGonagall; Minerva McGonagall/ Dougal McGregor Word Count: ~3,000 Medium: fic Warnings/Content Information (Highlight to View): * [None]*. Summary: In which Isobel Ross marries a Muggle and Minerva McGonagall almost does the same Author's/Artist's Notes: Nevrafire, I couldn’t quite work a Dumbledore/Minerva romance, but hopefully there’s enough of Minerva’s early life that you’ll be happy with it. This story is based on JKR's Pottermore canon for Minerva McGonagall ( The Barley Fields )
