Title: The Backalley Annual C*cks*cking Contest
Rating: R
Pairings: Rita Skeeter/Erato Zabini (implied Erato/husbands)
Word Count: ~1600 words
Warnings: switching first person POV, strap-ons, more than a hint of crack
Summary: It wasn't anything as simple as sex appeal; if I had to put my finger on it I'd say they had charisma. And a talent for c*cks*cking, of course.
Author's Notes: This plotbunny ambushed me, but it's a gamble for an exchange fic so I hope you like it, featherxquill! If not, then I'm happy to write you another story in recompense. With thanks to my lovely beta, & to Shar Rednour for the inspiration.

Title: Sixteen
Rating: PG-13
Pairings: Minerva McGonagall/Sybill Trelawney
Word Count: 1584
Warnings: angst, femmeslash, hurt/comfort, implied sex, and a substantial age difference between the characters (I’ve estimated that Minerva is approximately 25 years older than Sybill – at least, that’s how it works here).
Summary: Minerva breathes deeply and, for a moment, she wonders how it is that she has come to be here. Again.
Author's Notes: istalksnape: thank you for a wonderful set of prompts, and affording me the opportunity to write Minerva. I really hope you like what I’ve done with it all. Many thanks also to T, for giving this the once-over.

Title: A Murmur
Rating: NC-17
Pairings: Minerva/Sybil
Word Count: 1400+
Warnings: Um, femslash. And some pretty good sex-ness.
Summary: Sybil finds herself loving Minerva more than Minerva ever thought she could allow.
Author's Notes: I really hope you like this. I tried for a smuttier draft, but they weren't having it (I hesitate to call them prudes, but they are quite private!). I hope you enjoy this. Thanks to T. for the beta read.

Title: Stolen Moment
Rating: PG-13?
Pairings: Pince and McGonagall
Warnings: Nekkid Chicks
Artist's Notes: My husband walked by me while I was drawing this and almost had a heart attack. "Ooooh yeeaaahh" he purred, "Now THAT'S what I'm talkin' about!" :D Poor guy, he's so used to seeing me draw men shagging each other that he probably didn't think I knew what a woman looked like. :D

Title: One Fine Day

Word Count: 1,455

Summary: June, 1975. Minerva and Poppy have a picnic to celebrate the end of the school year, and it leads to a conversation with Remus and Sirius and confessions on both their parts.

Title: Nurturing One of Our Own
Rating: PG-13 for partial nipple
Pairings: Poppy Pomfrey, Minerva McGonagall, Sybil Trelawney, Rolanda Hooch, Pomona Sprout, and Irma Pince.
Warnings: none
Media: construction paper collage, watercolor, ink, charcoal, plus a couple digital touch-ups
Summary: Poppy Pomfrey is always taking care of the Hogwarts inhabitants. So several of the female Hogwarts staff decided it was time she was cared for with a group massage!
Artist's Notes: I decided to go for an expressionist style, since there's some emotional energy in the idea behind it. Each woman is painted in colors associated with her personality or her field. Poppy is pink, McGonagall is her red/green plaid, Trelawney is purple, Hooch is yellow, Sprout is green, and Pince is blue. I had a good time making this and doing a fun colorful interpretation. I like the idea of the women of Hogwarts nurturing each other emotionally and physically. I hope you do, too!

Title: Just Like Flying
Rating: NC17
Pairings: Xiomara Hooch/Aurora Sinistra
Word Count: Approx. 4400
Warnings: None
Summary: Like riding a bicycle or flying a broomstick, there are some things one never forgets how to do. It just takes a little reminder.
Author's Notes: (Not my characters or universe, no profit made. Just playing.) I've never written femmeslash or these characters before, so I hope I did justice to both them and my recipient's anticipations. Gentle concrit is accepted, as is any potential enthusiastic flailing. XD Multiple, multiple thanks to my betas. I seriously appreciate it, folx.

Title: Light show
Rating: R
Pairing: Alecto Carrow/Aurora Sinistra
Disclaimer: The characters do not belong to me, but to JKRowling, not that I think there've ever been published pictures of them, and the images of nebulae used belong to NASA. I think :).
Summary: Alecto likes the pretty sparks that Professor Sinistra makes when she loses control, and the combination of stress and arousal is impressive indeed.
Warnings: Non or dubcon
Artist's notes: Re the warning - I like to think of it as coerced consent, with Alecto talking in general terms about particularly fragile-seeming Astronomy students until Aurora gets the picture and volunteers herself as a distraction. I do hope you like this, ldymusyc; I tried to work with some of your favourites at first and couldn't quite get them to behave, so my fingers are crossed over the pairing.
