Title: Red Dreams
Rating: PG
Pairings: Antonin Dolohov/Filius Flitwick
Word Count:6,850
Warnings/Content Information (Highlight to View):  *[Character Death]*.
Summary: “...and with a burning pain in my heart I realized how unnecessary, how petty, and how deceptive all that had hindered us from loving was. I understood that when you love you must either, in your reasonings about that love, start from what is highest, from what is more important than happiness or unhappiness, sin or virtue in their accepted meaning, or you must not reason at all.”
― Anton Chekhov
Author's/Artist's Notes: I hope that this story pleases you, wwmrsweasleydo. When I finally found the right story to tell, it all seemed to fall into place. Thank you to L, my invaluable beta and dear friend, who never fails to improve anything she touches.

Title: Fair Is Fair, and Life Is Not (Though Tea Helps an Awful Lot) Rating: R
Pairings: Filius Flitwick/Pomona Sprout
Word Count: 4,894 words
Warnings/Content Information (Highlight to View): *No warnings apply.*
Summary: Although their students might sometimes be oblivious to it, teachers have lives, too. Fertilized with dung and watered with tea, Filius Flitwick and Pomona Sprout cultivate a love slowly bubbling along behind the scenes.
Author's Notes: Particular thanks to bethbethbeth who runs the best fest in fandom and puts up with me. Filius uses a few quotes in this fic. I've marked them out in italics and single quotation marks. The first is by James Joyce, the second is by Marcel Proust, and the third is from Rudyard Kipling's poem, "Ode, Melbourne Shrine of Remembrance, 1934."

Word Count: 2,400
Warnings/Content Information (Highlight to View): * Peeves finally gets a taste of what’s coming to him. Otherwise, nothing*.

Author's Notes: purplefluffycat, I’m not sure if you’re familiar with Downton Abbey, but it was a strong influence here. I hope you enjoy this. My sincere thanks go to pir8fancier, who made this much better than it otherwise would have been. To write or to cook with her is always sheer pleasure.

Title: A Small Touch of Luck
Rating: NC-17
Pairings: Severus Snape/Filius Flitwick
Word Count: ~8,800
Warnings: a gratuitous "wand" joke
Summary: After the war, Severus finds himself dealing with excessively apologetic former colleagues, struggling through a difficult recovery from his injuries, and holed up inside Hogwarts in order to avoid the Ministry. Strangely, Filius is somehow making it almost enjoyable.
Author's Notes: cardigrl, it seemed that you really, really wanted to see Severus, and I was happy to deliver. As it turns out, I had even more fun with this pairing than I anticipated. This fic was a joy to write. I hope you get a kick out of it.

My tremendous thanks to everyone who put up with me though every stage of this story, from brainstorming to betaing.

And big thanks and kudos to bethbethbeth for continuing this amazing fest.

Title: Clouds of White
Rating: R
Pairings: Filius Flitwick/Peter Pettigrew
Word Count: about 4750
Warnings: Teacher/student slash, in which Peter is 17.
Summary: He would never have looked at the boy, at first. That was the truth by Merlin, and Filius reminded himself of that fact for many years after the event had passed. He was not a bad man, after all. Indeed, quite the opposite; didn't everyone always say that he was cheery and good natured and would go out of his way to help someone in trouble?

Well, yes. And that was quite possibly how the whole thing had started.

Author's/Artist's Notes: Inspired by the prompt: “Filius Flitwick has a fling with a marauders-era student; a schoolboy crush becomes something more, it threatens his career. How he survives,” although this tale has possibly meandered a little from that prompt. Many thanks to venturous for the inspiration, and to bethbethbeth for running this fantastic fest!

Title: Dark-Eyed Wanderer
Rating: NC-17 (although most of the story rates lower)
Pairings: Severus Snape/Filius Flitwick, mentions of Severus Snape/Lily Evans (unrequited) and Severus Snape/Lucius Malfoy
Word Count: ~13,800
Warnings: Canon character death, discussion of grief.
Summary: After the first war, Severus is reprieved by law, but not by himself. It takes a special person to make him embrace life once more. Death, however, always waits.
Author's/Artist's Notes: This story took a long time to crystallize, largely because Filius is not a character I had ever before really considered. Thank you for a prompt that took me outside my 'comfort zone,' psyfic. I feel the better for it, and I hope the result is satisfactory :-)

Rating: R
Pairings: Snape/Flitwick
Word Count: 8050
Warnings: Character death as per canon.
Summary: During a very difficult week, Filius finds himself considering a puzzle.
Author's/Artist's Notes: Thanks for H and R for the beta help. Despite the warning there, this recipient asked for a happy or hopeful ending. She also asked for hot sex, but I concluded the relationship and a hopeful ending were more important to get in there so that was where I focused; I hope that was the right call.
