Title: Children of Hope
Author: airmidm on LJ
Rating: R
Characters: Greg Goyle/Tracey Davis
Claim/Card: Ten of Swords
Word Count: Total:10,322; Chapter One: 2,947; Chapter Two: 2,135; Chapter 3: 2,826; Chapter 4: 2,414
Warnings: The epilogue doesn't exist for me so this is EWE. There is mention of numerous character deaths and slight gore. There is also foul language, mentions of drug and alcohol use, Potter bashing (extensive), plots to take over the world... in other words, it is a Slytherin fic. ;)
Summary/Card interpretation: Crushing defeat brought about by idle intellectualism divorced from reality. (Which is portrayed by the end of the war with Voldemort and The Battle of Hogwarts.) Sadness and desolation in the aftermath of a catastrophic and total collapse. (Greg, specifically, how he deals with the end of the war, and the loss of loved ones.) A decisive conclusion brought about through the swift and merciless application of overwhelming force. (The aftermath of the war and what is necessary in order to preserve as much of the Wizarding World as possible.) This card also gives us a glimpse of hope. ;)
Greg and Tracey dealing with the aftermath of the final battle, to include the loss of one of their best friends and the total destruction of their world.
A/N: Greg and Tracey call each other Val and Maeve, nicknames from childhood. According to the Lexicon, the Goyle family is likely from Northern Ireland and I've gone with that supposition when I write Greg. Also, there is frequent references to The Little Prince as according to the 'canon' jandjsalmon and I have created when writing this pairing, it was their favourite book growing up. A big thank you for the hand holding and Beta goes to jandjsalmon!

Title: One (Mostly) Happy Ending, Some Assembly Required
Author: Leela (leela_cat)
Type: Fiction
Length: ~ 8,150 words
Main character or Pairing: Severus/Harry
Rating: NC-17
Disclaimer: I don't own them. I don't make money from them. I just let them out to play for a while.
Warnings: slight AU (EWE, Snape's alive, yadda)
Summary: As the Death Eater trials wind to an end, Harry's inability to look doesn't stop him leaping when he thinks Severus is in danger. Just this once, he learns, his bad habit may just lead to something unexpected (and good) for both of them.
Author Notes: Without my betas, regan_v, fbowden, iulia_linnea, and batdina, this story wouldn't be half of what it is (and I mean that quite literally). And for those few who saw it, my apologies for my (briefly) screwed up comm entry.

Title: Whenever Dark Draws Near
Author: stonegrad
Type: Fic
Length: 2700
Main character or Pairing: Lucius/Harry
Rating: R
Canon compliancy: Compliant up till the final battle, AU thereafter
Disclaimer: anything recognizable belongs to JKR and WB, and I am making absolutely no profit from this
Warnings: none
Summary: When Harry Potter's hunt for Lucius Malfoy finally comes to a head in the backstreets of Rome, there's no telling how things are going to pan out...
Cards Drawn: Wheel Of Fortune, Two Of Cups (R), Nine Of Wand
Card Interpretation: condensed version - a clearly 'unpredictable turn of events' followed by some 'unfaithfulness' to, well, the war, and the opposing sides, and probably a few lovers, and ending with the very Malfoy position of 'knowing that you will be victorious'.
Author Notes: This story almost never made it. The original fic grew too big to finish, and this one just didn't want to be written in the veryshort time frame I gave myself for it. A huge thanks to my beta, Cazz, who basically poked me in the shoulder until I wrote the damn thing - it's an odd story, I know, but it's here! I get points for that, surely.
( Stupidity, some might call it, but, well... he's Harry Potter. This is what he does... )

 | 09:35 pm - Fic: "Even Old Dogs can Learn New Tricks" (Lucius Malfoy, R)
Title: Even Old Dogs can Learn New Tricks
Author:Melfina the Blue
Type: Fiction
Length: 4700 words
Main character or Pairing:Lucius Malfoy (mostly through the eyes of Draco)
Rating: R
Canon compliancy: Non-Epilogue compliant
Disclaimer:I own nothing. JKR and WB own everything and I am not making any sort of profit from this.
Warnings: Mention of physical and sexual child abuse, fistfights, cursing, and murder
Summary: Draco gets married and learns a few things about Lucius.
Cards Drawn:Hermit, 10 of Pentacles, and the Tower. Exploding cards were 3 of cups, ace of pentacles, 10 of pentacles reversed, 6 of swords, ace of wands reversed, king of cups reversed, and the star .
Card Interpretation: The Hermit signified someone at a crossroads, someone trying to figure out who they were, and also how to be part of a greater whole after being alone. The knight of pentacles was everyone coming together, success within your grasp. And the Tower was the doom that could befall you if you failed to pay attention to the lessons of your past. The exploding cards became images and characters.
Author Notes:Many thanks to Zephre, who helped me figure out what the heck I was doing.
( ”Story )
The Afterword:
I struggled quite a bit with how to connect three very distinct parts in a thematic whole, as well as how to incorporate the exploding cards into the fic. Two of them were fairly obvious. The Ten of Pentacles became Abraxas, and the Star was Narcissa. For the rest, I ended up trying to incorporate their images either into various characters or just referencing the images themselves. The 3 of cups became the merfolk-themed engagement party, the reversed King of Cups became Lucius' lust for power, and the Six of Swords became Harry Potter and his grief and anger over Ginny's betrayal. The Ace of Pentacles was a bit more difficult, and ended up becoming Lucius' ability to use his money to get what he wants

Title: Goodnight, Moon
Author: lotrwariorgodss
Type: Fiction
Length: ~11,000
Main character or Pairing: Harry (& Teddy Lupin); Harry/Snape side-plot
Cards/Card Interpretation:
Five of Pentacles, meaning "Drained resources; exhaustion; struggling to stay afloat while searching for relief; fighting to keep morale and energy levels up; temporary hardship."
Ten of Swords, meaning "Sudden and unexpected failure or disaster; learning from past mistakes; a power beyond your control that humbles you without warning or mercy."
Eight of Cups, meaning "Turning away; giving up; abandoning a dream; choosing to sacrifice in order to make a clean break and start afresh elsewhere"
Rating: soft R
Disclaimer: Anything recognizable isn't mine, it belongs to Jo and WB and whoever else has a legal claim.
Warnings: Inadvertent psychological/emotional/physical abuse of a child, language, allusions to sexual activities (between consenting adults), umm angst? (put it this way – it's not the happiest in the world, but I doubt it'll make you cry)
Summary: When Harry finds out Teddy's inherited more from Remus than his love for books, he is forced to make some difficult decisions. But what happens when his dedication gets a little out of hand? Will he lose the people he loves most?

 | 12:25 pm - Fic: "Whoever Keeps Me" (Snape/Draco/Harry, NC-17) 3/3
Title: Whoever Keeps Me (Part 3 of 3)
Author: Ravenna C. Tan
Type: Fiction
Length: 21,000 words total; This post: 8654
Main character or Pairing: Snape/Draco, Harry/Draco, Draco/Death Eaters
Rating: NC-17
Disclaimer: Non-commercial fanfic, done for the love, not any money.
Warnings: Voldemort-won AU. Canon-compliant thru HBP. Heavy dub-con. Torture, gang-banging, sexual slavery, angst.
Summary: Voldemort gives a disgraced Draco Malfoy as a slave to Severus Snape. Draco is resigned to his fate, until Snape collars Harry Potter as well.
Cards Drawn: Death (reversed), Wheel of Fortune (reversed), Eight of Cups.
Card Interpretation: Death reversed is "holding onto something you know is over," such as a relationship you stayed in too long. The Wheel of Fortune reversed is taking control of your destiny. And the eight of cups is "Possibility of change in a stable situation. Flashes of excitement, movement." I also interpreted "death, reversed" as orgasm denial, the wheel of fortune as suspension bondage, and the eight of cups to be potions, so you will find all three of those elements in the story as well. Full notes and interpretations at the end.
Author Notes: clauclauclaudia was my wonderful beta. Any mistakes left are purely my own. Thanks to Gateway Girl for helping me wrestle a very recalcitrant Draco to the ground. Metaphorically speaking. Title comes from a Shakespeare sonnet. This story also matches up to my 7spells table for Snape/Draco/Harry.
