TITLE: The Chariot (Drawn by Flame and Sea)
LENGTH: 2750 words
MAIN CHARACTERS: Severus Snape/Sirius Black, with Dumbledore as the Charioteer
CARD: The Chariot
CARD INTERPRETATION: "The two animals which draw the Chariot try to go in different directions." Control over things that are by nature in conflict; control over opposing people, or wants, or emotions.
RATING: R
DISCLAIMER: Characters and most of the rest of it belongs to JKR.
SUMMARY: Sirius Black is forced to view an old opponent in a new light—Dumbledore assigns him to work with Severus Snape on a mission for the Order of the Phoenix. Of course, nothing happens quite the way either of them expected.
AUTHOR'S NOTES: In case the title could use explaining: Slytherin's element is water while Gryffindor's is fire :). Thanks to M and J for beta/other help. All remaining mistakes are entirely my own. Also be sure to check out this lovely art for The Chariot by chibitoaster—it's amazing!

TITLE: We Who Persevere
RATING: R
PAIRING: Lucius/Narcissa, with a side of PG Lucius/Severus
SUMMARY: Every year, the Malfoys host a rather exclusive Christmas event. Ten scenes over the course of a decade tell the story of some of Lucius' choices.
DISCLAIMER: JKR wrote the world and the characters. I'm just having fun and telling make-believe stories about them.
NOTES: 2325 words. A huge thanks to my wonderful betas, LJ:anneline"> and LJ:chthonya who both helped this story tremendously. Any remaining errors are entirely my fault.

Inspired by the "one letter, ten words" meme from dracofiend, who gave me the letter "P". You can play too: Comment on this entry and I will give you a letter. Write ten words beginning with that letter, including an explanation of what the word means to you and why, then give letters to those who want to play along.
