Phoenix Flies, Round Two: Prompt Claiming!
Some simple rules for starters:
1. You may claim up to two prompts.
2. Each prompt may be claimed once for fic and once for art. Because of the possibility of double claims, please wait for a moderator to acknowledge your claim before assuming that the prompt is yours.
3. Any prompt may be used for gen, het, or slash. This is not a pairing-specific fest: if a prompt specifies a pairing, you do not need to use that pairing. If a prompt is listed under a certain character's name, you do not need to use that character as the POV character/narrator.
4. If you are going to be out of town or away from the computer on January 29th and are worried about not being able to claim a prompt, someone else may claim for you on your behalf. Just make sure they put your username somewhere in the subject line or in the comment itself.
5. Fics need to be at least 500 words and beta-read. Art obviously does not have a word-minimum but should be a bit more than a drawble.
6. All fics and art are due by March 15th, and should be submitted directly to phoenix_flies for moderated posting. (We will have more information about posting formats at a later date)
7. Please fill out the following form completely to claim a prompt:
We had so many prompts we had to divide them up into two posts! However, all claims should be left as a comment to this post.

They can't move him to Voldemort's headquarters because the countryside is crawling with Order members looking for Harry, and Lupin has their hiding place staked out.

It turns out that his preferred private past-time isn't accepted in the wizarding world, so he leaves and becomes a model for a Muggle company that caters to people with his particular interests. Who finds him, and what's their reaction? Cross-dressing!Harry with Harry in a kimono or Geisha outfit a plus. (suggested by animehime)
*118. Post-Hogwarts: Harry shows up with a child. He says the child was adopted and the mother died in war ... but is that true? (prefer Harry/Severus or Harry/Draco) (suggested by cyane_snape)

Claimed for fic by akuma_river.
*123. (prefer: Harry/Draco) prompt: desire ... obsessive!possessive!Harry with submissive!Draco (but Draco hasn't lost his courage to oppose Harry).

(suggested by nekochan23)

131. The war is over, and some of those who were believed dead have been treated, revived, and are recovering under strict Ministry surveillance. Harry is in isolation in St. Mungo's. The Prophet claims he's catatonic. The Order claims he's being held hostage by a Ministry conspiracy. The Ministry is busy consolidating its power base under a new Minister, but seems to be continuing some of the practices of the Voldemort Ministry. (Muggleborn Registry, required Hogwarts attendance, Dementors as crowd control, whatever.) Can Colin and/or Snape organize a break-out of the war casualties ward and find out what's really happening to Harry? Can they organize a coup to stop the Ministry before the Wizarding World becomes a police state? Viva la revolucion! (suggested by zephre)
132. After the war, Harry is hugely powerful but terribly scarred/maimed (author's choice). Rejected by society, brushed under the rug by the Ministry, he becomes a recluse and continually sabotages his own recovery. He resists the efforts of friends and adopted family to draw him out. Maybe what he needs is the effort of a former enemy? (ex-DE pairing preferred) (suggested by zephre)
Claimed for fic by darkladyvamp

147. Someone (a quarry?) transfigures Auror!Harry and Draco into garden gnomes. They are left in a wizard's garden. They cannot do magic, and no one believes them when they try to tell them who they really are, while they get news from the wizarding world and know they are said to be "missing". Several times they have to find each other after one of them is caught and "degnomed". (Would prefer H/D) (suggested by greyhunter)
148. Harry is living in the Muggle world and is in a relationship with a male Muggle rock (or movie) star. Years after the war he publishes a book entitled "Harry explains it all" and basically tells everything from his point of view, not caring if it might hurt some people. He just needs to finally let it all out. Possible prompts : 1. How does Draco (and his very respectful wife) react to the chapter named "After the Quidditch Games"? 2.

Resolve this inconsistency -- show how JKR's claim can be in accord with canon events. (Can be gen -- not necessarily Tom/Bella.) (suggested by theentwife)
155. The Death Eater Light Opera Company Presents an Evening of Gilbert and Sullivan. (Voldemort MUST be in one of the major roles... Fenrir, too.) (suggested by theentwife)
156. Voldemort is a secret fan of Monty Python -- and the Death Eaters know this. (Several of them are fans as well.) Do they dare tease the Dark Lord by singing the Spam Song at meetings? Will doing the Dead Parrot sketch earn them a Cruciatus? (suggested by theentwife)
Claimed for fic by arcadian_dream.
Shacklebolt, Kingsley:
157. The Minister realises the post as Minister comes with a lot of benefits: one of them is the hordes of witches who are hunting the good-looking former Auror.

169. "Lust, Caution." (WARNING: spoilers for the movie) Snape is an important DE in a (temporary?) Voldemort puppet-government that has taken power. A young idealistic (but naive) group of students plan to assassinate him.

175. AU, post-war. Arguing with the clerk in Flourish and Blott's over a contract for the purchase of a sizeable amount of books makes Severus draw his wand to hex the man.

Claimed for Fic by occasusvenustas
176. AU, post-war. Severus has a mid-life crisis. He buys the fastest high-end broom, he dresses a bit too youthfully, and he quits his job to go looking for a nice witch to do whatever one does with witches.

Trelawney, Sibyll
182. f you were REALLY good at Divination and a Dark Lord was after your prophecies, where would you go and what would you do? You would probably want to be at Hogwarts, and want everyone to think you were a mad, sherry-imbibing bat... (suggested by gingertart50)

271. The Marauders learn that Voldemort has placed something at Hogwarts. (suggested by mindabbles)
272. The Prompt of Afterlife Porn. It wasn't really voices Harry heard behind the Veil while in the Dept of Mysteries. It was the Post-Lifer's Swingers Convention going full-swing, so to speak. Had he looked behind it, he would have been shocked to see his parents involved in quite the flexible threesome (or moresome). With the closing of canon, there are a LOT of characters who can join in the fun. Yes, this should be terribly terribly smutty. (suggested byeeyore99)
273. An AU set in the 1930's: Old English Manors, ladies in gowns and men in tuxes, family tensions and rumors of an approaching war on the continent.
