Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Draco Malfoy/Millicent Bulstrode
Word Count: 16,500
Warnings: Language, sex.
Summary:
"Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble."
Draco Malfoy takes an apprenticeship with a potions master after the war, and discovers the way to make a brew he never expected with a component he never considered. Side effects may occur; results may vary.
Author's Notes: Ragdoll, I was terribly nervous to have received your name for this exchange, but I hope that this will catch your attention. I tried to incorporate your likes of fluffy angst, humor, banter, and exploration into an uncertain relationship, and even though I know these aren't your favorite characters, I do hope you enjoy.

Title:Daring to Love
Rating:PG
Pairings:Millicent Bulstrode/Vincent Crabbe
Word Count:4325
Warnings:AU in that Vincent is alive, UST, Frequent Snape References
Summary:Learning to live is hard. Daring to love is even harder. A post-Hogwarts short story featuring hurt/comfort as Millicent, Vincent and Greg struggle to make a life for themselves on their own terms.
Author's/Artist's Notes:Thanks to my wonderful beta who made this a much better fic than it otherwise would have been. I really hope you like this, anguis_1. I'm sorry for the lack of smut, but they are cautious people, these characters. And I hope you don't mind the liberal Snape references. I picture Millie especially as someone who learned to internalize things and be cautious in what she says. And Millie had a lot of thinking to do. So we see some past events through a Millie filter instead of canon's Harry filter.

Author's Notes: I hope you'll enjoy the story, cat_goddess. I had a lot of fun writing it.

Author's Notes: I don't think there's much in here that conflicts with book canon, but I don't feel obligated to abide by Rowling's personal extratextual canon. Set a few years after the war.

Author's Notes: Didodikali/Trickofthedark, your fic, "Widdershins," had me sold on Dudley/Hermione, but then a little plotbunny came hopping by, and this is the result. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. Thanks to everyone who made this fic possible.
