Title: The Muggles Have a Word for Them
Rating: PG-13
Pairings: Rolanda Hooch/Aurora Sinistra, Fat Lady/Violet, background Minerva McGonagall/Elphinstone Urquart
Word Count: 8250
Warnings/Content Information (Highlight to View): *none*.
Summary: In which the Fat Lady plays matchmaker and learns some new vocabulary.
Author's Notes: Though JKR may be coy when it comes to directly acknowledging same-sex relationships in HP, she's kindly given us subtext galore. Fat Lady/Violet is practically canon (if you ask me), and then there are all those lovely dykes with short grey hair and monocles. So I thought it was about time that someone brought their story out into the open. I hope you enjoy this, dear lash_larue; it's been a pleasure to write for you. Many thanks to my fantastic betas.

The story takes place before the arrival of the Trio at Hogwarts -- c. 1986.

Title: Just Like Flying
Rating: NC17
Pairings: Xiomara Hooch/Aurora Sinistra
Word Count: Approx. 4400
Warnings: None
Summary: Like riding a bicycle or flying a broomstick, there are some things one never forgets how to do. It just takes a little reminder.
Author's Notes: (Not my characters or universe, no profit made. Just playing.) I've never written femmeslash or these characters before, so I hope I did justice to both them and my recipient's anticipations. Gentle concrit is accepted, as is any potential enthusiastic flailing. XD Multiple, multiple thanks to my betas. I seriously appreciate it, folx.

Title: Light show
Rating: R
Pairing: Alecto Carrow/Aurora Sinistra
Disclaimer: The characters do not belong to me, but to JKRowling, not that I think there've ever been published pictures of them, and the images of nebulae used belong to NASA. I think :).
Summary: Alecto likes the pretty sparks that Professor Sinistra makes when she loses control, and the combination of stress and arousal is impressive indeed.
Warnings: Non or dubcon
Artist's notes: Re the warning - I like to think of it as coerced consent, with Alecto talking in general terms about particularly fragile-seeming Astronomy students until Aurora gets the picture and volunteers herself as a distraction. I do hope you like this, ldymusyc; I tried to work with some of your favourites at first and couldn't quite get them to behave, so my fingers are crossed over the pairing.
