Summary: Nothing good ever came from the Department of Mysteries, nothing good at all.
Author's Note: Thank you to Kim and Mel for the speedy beta jobs! Also, this was my first attempt at not only being as minimal as I could, but also using dialogue as opposed to internal monologue as a driver. I'm not sure how well it turned out, but I would really appreciate con-crit! Go team EWE!

Title: Without Sound of Bells
Team: AU
Author: scarlet_malfoy
Prompt: 22. I think I saw a Pensieve like this once...
Wordcount: 20,000
Rating: R
Warnings: Angst, hurt/comfort, frottage, mutual wanking, time travel, language, spoiler warning: major character death
Summary: What would the world be like if Harry and Draco had been friends since the beginning?
Author's Note:
1. Title from the poem "At Melville's Tomb" by Hart Crane.
2. Direct dialogue borrowed from pages 77-79 of the American version of Philosopher's Stone, written by JKR, not me!
3. Harry and Draco were born a year earlier (June 23rd and July 31st, 1979) and because their birthdays occurred so late in the school year, Dumbledore and the Malfoys had the option of waiting a year before sending them to school. Both took that option.
4. Thank you to dark_branwen, lap_otter, maja_li, and thesamanthahope for the time they spent beta'ing and deliberating with me - it made all the difference in the world! And thanks to my AU teammates and my AMAZING captains, joanwilder and thesamanthahope, and to all the wonderful fest Mods!

Title: The Mark of a Civilised Man
Team: EWE
Author: jamie2109
Prompt: 11. When in doubt, apparate.
Wordcount: 18500
Rating: R
Warnings: None.
Summary: Harry and Draco face each other in fight for a seat on the Wizengamot. A fight Draco is sure that this time, he can win. But a third, more malignant force arrives on the scene. One that, left unchecked, could mean a return to the dark times of a Voldemort-run Ministry. Can they fight their rising passion for each other long enough to thwart the ambitions of a practised manipulator?
Author's Note: Big huge thanks to my wonderful aoife for her help with the plot and blamebrampton for the amazing beta. Without those ladies this may have been a pretty incoherent pile of twaddle.

The interpretation for this prompt I am using is 'when all is lost, withdraw and live to fight another day.'

* Indicates wording taken directly from canon.

Rating: PG
Warnings: Spoilers for DH, but that's a given, no? ~_-
Summary: Harry and Draco have always known there was something between them. But sometimes what you want isn't the easy choice.
Author's Note: I was aiming for a sense of sadness in this fic in order to depict the tension between what you want and what you need to do. As such it isn't slash per se, but more along the lines of eternal UST. I hope it delivers.
