Title: Meeting the Challenge (Of Dark Eyes and Dancing Hippopotami)
Author/Artist: misfit_ragdoll
Rating: NC-17
Prompt: #62 "Tried to give you consolation when your old man had let you down."
Pairing(s): Bill Weasley/Nymphadora Tonks
Word Count: 10,100
Warnings: none
Author/Artist's notes: Thanks to r_grayjoy, green_amber and katesque for their help and support, and luvscharlie for betaing. twilightsorcery gave me the joke about Tonks's knickers (and the original source is a Questionable Content webcomic). The kitchen!sex scene was inspired by this piece of art which was a commission done for me by lizardspots nearly 3 years ago as well as the film, The Baker, starring Damian Lewis. My original plan was to do something a lot closer to the original story of the song "Layla" (where the prompt comes from) but somehow Tonks, Remus and Bill refused to play Patti Boyd, George Harrison and Eric Clapton for me. So this is what happened instead.
Disclaimer: It's not my sandbox, I only play here.

Just a quick note to our participants --

We didn't think to put this in the rules because we hadn't expected anyone not to do it but...

We love that you're crossposting your stuff elsewhere and please feel free to do it but could you please use fake LJ cuts to bring people to this comm to read/see them? We definitely can use the traffic and it would be great promotion for everyone involved. There will be more fic and art coming and we don't want anyone to be overlooked. We've noticed a few things being picked up by the HP online newsletters and it's really disheartening when they go to your personal journals rather than the comm.

Thanks!

Just a reminder that fics and arts should be turned in starting tomorrow. If you need an extension, that's fine. Just contact us and let us know.

You don't have to turn in the art/fic to the mods -- you can post them directly to the comm. It will be set to moderate so we can check content before it's posted and also keep the comm from being spammed all at once.

We're really looking forward to seeing what everyone's come up with!

Just a reminder that posting will be open in little over a month so we hope everyone's having fun with their prompts! We can't wait to see what you've all come up with.

Also, if you're interested in writing/drawing het for a Valentine's Day themed exchange, wizard_love signups are open through Friday, December 7th.

Round 2 is now open for business. You can sign up here. Same rules apply but this round will be open until further notice so feel free to grab a second one if you're so inclined or just missed round 1.

Just a quick note to remind everyone that Round 1 claiming is closed and Round 2 will start at 12:01 am EST on Monday, September 24. We will probably leave it open for a longer period of time in case anyone new wants to come in or gets inspired between now and January.

Claim assignments will be sent in the next day or so. The pairings look great -- we can't wait to see what everyone does with them!
