Title: 20 Random Facts About the Things in Draco's Bag (or, 20 Randomly Precious Things)
Author: snegurochka_lee
Established pairings: Harry/Ginny, Draco/Astoria
Infidelity pairing: Harry/Draco
Rating: light R
Genre: romance
Word Count: ~1,800
Content: Infidelity; ultimately EWE from that train-platform scene, although Epilogue children exist.
Summary: Over the course of twenty years, Draco must find room to carry the things he loves best.
Notes: Written for the Look into the Bag challenge at hd_birthdaybash, for which fic had to focus on the contents of Harry or Draco's bags. This might not be quite what I was supposed to do, whoops. The format is also inspired by both iulia_linnea's annual "20 Random Facts" fest and the 1sentence community, though it doesn't quite fit with either. :)

Established pairing: Draco/Pansy. More or less.
Infidelity/other pairings: Draco/Harry, Pansy/Harry, Pansy/George
Rating: NC17
Warnings: aside from the obvious infidelity: some fooling with gender and identity (that is, gender, and also identity, not gender identity), dubious consent, and general trickery.
Genre: Hm. Suspense?
Words: 5550
Summary: Pansy finds Draco's letters and quickly hatches a plan. Getting to mess with Potter is a nice side bonus.
A/N: Written for the hp_unfaithful no-pressure laissez faire challenge. The prompt I was working from was, a character feels guilty about being unfaithful. Their partner reacts in a surprising way. It …went a different direction than I initially had in mind, but it probably worked better anyway. Heh. Thanks to Leni Jess for the speedy beta.

Notes: There isn't much Draco/Pansy here but it does revolve around the infidelity against Astoria, so I hope that fits? Muchos gracias to ccharlotte for the beta. Written for the Fabulous No-Pressure Laissez-Faire Challenge. Prompt: "Why didn't you just ask her to marry you instead?"

( If they wanted to win a Quidditch game, they had to take out the other team's Seeker. To win the House Cup they made sure the other Houses were docked points for things they never did. If they loved someone, they married someone else, just to keep marriage from souring the relationship. )

PS. Mods, as this is my first post here, there may be a few tags missing here. Thanks!
