It's okay, I've done it before.

I've got EVEN MORE stuff - lomonaaeren has gifted me with the most beautiful sleepy!H/D and I can't thank her enough.

This day has been brilliant.

Pad over to the big bed and climb in with these two as they learn to trust one another and themselves. Then just bask in the warmth of it all.

Fear, Beauty, Courage, Glory

Yeah, so, this mini_fest prompt I put up:

Pairing: Pansy/Ginny
I want PURE FILTH - dirty talk, toys (Christmas presents, maybe?), the works - I draw the line with watersports and scat. Not fussed about the era or infidelity. Want it consensual, that's it. Bring it on.

Challenge accepted. On the Loose, NSFW

ALSKIJAKDSJHLGDHASGSGGGGFFFHHJJJJK!

*cough*

Thank you so very much, Mystery Artist. I love it.

How much did I squeal with joy when I got the thilia's prompt for hp_yule_balls? Tonnes! I absolutely loved writing for this wonderful lady!

Title: A Gentle Empire O'er Fraternal Souls
Rating: NC17
Pairings: James/Albus, AS/S
Summary: There’s always been a connection, but to whom?
Warnings: Incest
Word Count: ~3,700
Author's Notes: I was so pleased to get this prompt – thilia's Albus Severus is my Albus Severus, and it was her pictures of him that inspired me to write this. Thank you so much to my wonderful betas, cassie_black12 & delphipsmith and to the best emo cheerleaders, noeon and bryoneybrynn! The title is taken from the poem To My Brothers, by John Keates.

Additional: the Prologue and Epilogue are snippets of many conversations.

Ah, good old Royal Mail - who actually had a delivery last Sunday, just to bring me beautiful Christmas cards and goodies from the wonderful katelinmr, eyesemerald, and jtsbbsps_dk. Thank you, lovelies!


*Smooches the lot of you*

I love this kind of thing. When we were young and innocent, delphipsmith and I made up Linnean classifications of Star Wars characters. (Well, didn't everyone?) We figured there must be some practical aspect to our playing around in fandom.

nicevenn has done a funny for HP. She's used a template for some elf (can't remember his name now), and brought it to our little corner of the playpark.

This has come in so handy, I can't tell you... And if you're having trouble, you can always blame enchanted_jae. (I'm sure it's only a matter of time before the manufacturers will have to call on leo_draconis to write up the specifications for Draco's cock.)

Please to be perusing these simple instructions. And thank you so much for sharing them, nicevenn!

Harry and Draco: The Owner's Guide and Operating Manual

What do you get when you gift me a fic that has school!smut, scars, snakey-talk, the Hogwart's Express, cranky boys, and UST aplenty? You get one happy nurse.

I was so fortunate this year with my stocking stuffers; I got lots of varied and lovely fics based solely on a single prompt, and once again, this one did not disappoint. I love the way Harry's cross, but he can't put his finger on why, and how spending some quality time with his former school nemesis helps him remember and cures him of it at the same time. That's what I love about this pairing - they're always on that knife edge of enmity and desire. This fic showcases that perfectly. And Draco learns a thing or two about my favourite foreign language. Enjoy!

Title: The Sweetest Sound
Author: khasael
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 5041
Warnings/Contains: Parseltongue, a bit of scar!kink, trainsmut
Summary: Harry doesn't want to sit with Ron and Hermione on the train.

This beautiful work was all gifted to me over the last month and I am eternally in awe of and grateful to these wonderful artists. Some of these are links, some are behind cuts, since not all are posted or are posted in flocked LJs. Please enjoy.


The sweet dirty_darella drew my boys dancing, something that is such a kink for me: Waltzing. The suits are gorgeous, and their hair and eyes are to die for.

And then she drew them together on a broom. How did she know I liked that? *is amazed with artist's capacity to mind-read* Just look at Draco's expression - perfect.

The incomperable quimvaa drew me everyone's favourite spit-and-polisher:

( Fifi Draco )


The elf-tastic kitty_fic gifted me with some hilarious H/D elf dancing (scroll down to the bottom).


And have you seen that little sketch I got at hd_holidays? IMHO, it's the best thing in the fest, and I cannot, cannot stop looking at it.

Thank you again, all of you, and best wishes for a colourful New Year!

Happy New Year, everyone!


Here are the two ficlets I wrote for hd_seasons' stocking stuffers based on prompts from these two lovely ladies. Hope you like them! As ever, thank you to my lovely betas ♥

( Lickable, mmmm... )

In the complete confusion that was Christmas Day (illness, impending in-laws' visit - yes, they're still here - and telelphone calls from everyone under the sun), I completely missed this beautiful, heart-string-pulling gem of a ficlet by the most excellent snarkyscorp.

I had asked for a bit of AS/S(!), and oh, Home for Christmas is simply wonderful.

It doesn't remind me of anyone I know at all. Nope. Not anyone (she says, having spent most of the day wrapped up in Mr Nursedarry's dressing gown).

I had specifically asked for her to post this on Christmas Day, too, and I feel like a complete twat that I missed it. Forgive me, Snarky. And if you're reading this and you're NOT Snarky, go read her fic. Right now.
