TEAM PHOENIX ENTRY: Perverse Idyll "When the Rose and the Fire Are One"
Title: When the Rose and the Fire Are One
Author: perverse_idyll
Team: Phoenix!
Genre(s): Alternate Universe *Hover/Click for Games Definition of Alternate Universe*
Prompt(s): Flesh Memory, Spilling Fire
Rating/Warnings/Kinks: *(HBP but not DH-compliant) Violence, rough sex, character death (not Snape or Harry)*
Word Count: 81,000+
Summary: Harry's haunted by guilt. Snape's warded by roses. Each must free the other in order to free himself.
A/N: First, thank you to the mods for creating the Games in the first place and for having the patience of saints. leela_cat did a phenomenal job with this in a ridiculously short time. Whatever coherence the fic has is due to her heroic efforts and hand-holding. Also thanks to Team Phoenix for putting up with my fumbling captaincy and for helping to make this an enjoyable ride. Lastly, many thanks to my beloved rinsbane for talking me through to the images I needed. I wish this were a better first offering, my dear.

*With gratitude to leela_cat and apologies to T. S. Eliot.

I've not read this yet, but I will, and I'm fascinated by the length of it! I though my entry was big enough (c. 71k) but yours is 10k bigger! It's an achievement to write so much in the allotted time, because if you're like me you probably edited it to death before you finally submitted it.
You've made me feel a bit less embarrassed anyway, hehe, though mine's not posted yet. *waits (im)patiently*
I reckon you'll get the medal for the longest entry though, so well done!

Oh, I understand. I'm completely behind on reading Games fic myself. I just wish life would stop making demands so I could snuggle up and devour the Snarry. I'm so in the mood right now. While I was still working on my fic, I didn't allow myself to read anything else. Since finishing, it's been a struggle for time.

And oh, the length! *bashes head on desk* I didn't intend it to be this long. It got totally out of control. And, like you, I usually beta everything to within an inch of its life, but not this time! I was so far past deadline that I was slapping scenes into the fic as they came to me, unbeta'd, unproofed. *shudders* I don't want to dwell on that. Typo city.

So, yeah, pristine this ain't. It will need polishing after all this is over.

I reckon you'll get the medal for the longest entry

Heh. Funny, I never aspired to that. I did suggest to the mods that I ought to be awareded a medal for Biggest Pain in the Arse, though.
