Title: Roses in December
Rating: R
Pairing: Minerva McGonagall/Neville Longbottom
Word Count: ~12,600
Warnings/Content Information (Highlight to View): *Possible underage sex -- Neville is 17*.
Summary: As teacher and student, Professor McGonagall and Mr Longbottom understand their relationship very well. But what happens when they are forced to become Minerva and Neville? Set during the DH year.
Author's/Notes: psyfic, you said you liked "extreme cross-gen" and gave "celebratory Minerva/Neville" as an example. I thought it would be an interesting challenge, and it was. I still don't know if I pulled it off, but I had a fine time writing this. Hope you like it.

Many thanks to my superbly-helpful and kind beta and to B for the gift of plot. "It's an homage, Perry."

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.html
Many, many thanks and blessings to my kind and thoughtful betas MBR & K.

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.

Title: The Good One, The Mad One, The Bad One
Rating: NC-17
Pairings: Neville/Rosemerta
Word Count: ~4800
Warnings: Nothing that isn't implied by the ship and the rating, though it is a bit on the angsty side.
Summary: Sometimes you just have to throw the rule book out the window and follow your instincts.
Author's Notes: naughtysnail, you asked for a a metric ton of things I love to write, including cross-gen with the younger person initiating, and angsty, secret relationships. I couldn't manage to make it chan, and I know you asked for no Weasleys but for some reason I can't write Rosemerta without Weasleys at least being mentioned, but I hope it pleases anyway! And a 120 decibel shout-out to my beta, the lovely 'M,' who repeatedly smacked me back on track as per her brief.
