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

Oh, of course this was mine:)

Title: Let’s Rejoice in the Beautiful Game (and Together at the End of the Day)
Art: by the beautiful and generous thilia
Rating: NC17
Pairing(s): H/D, Oliver/Ginny
Summary: Quidditch, scheming, more Quidditch, UST, even more Quidditch, misunderstanding, misinterpretation, vuvuzelas, strippers, drunk Australians, mind-blowing smex, and then some Quidditch, just for the novelty. Oh, and a cameo by David Beckham, sort of. EWE.
Warnings: Sweeping generalisations and (mostly unintentional) stereotyping.
Word Count: 9564
Author's Notes: Written for hd_fan_fair’s Travel Fair. Title taken from the song Wave Your Flag. Cheers to treacle_tartlet for the introducing me to the Tasmanian Quidditch team and to ineffably_roma for loaning me barefoot!Draco. Betas of win are delphipsmith and cassie_black12. And finally, huge thanks go to Kennilworthy Whisp for all of the stamps in my passport!

NB: For those unfamiliar with the traditions of New Zealand rugby, please go here before reading about the boys’ Quidditch match in Tasmania. The video gives a translation as well as some interesting historical background...that is, if you bother to take your eyes off the men long enough to read the narration.

Hello flist!

My THANK YOU post is in the works - it's going to take ages to code - but will be delayed just slightly. This is due to several items still winging their way here from parts unknown and another couple still trapped in various heads whilst waiting to be committed to paper, and I didn't want to leave anyone out.

Also, I have a draft of a project due on Tuesday with a million and one things going on (read: visit from cassie_black12) between now and then, and it deserves some attention after failing to get ANY yesterday. So this project is going to have to take precedence over the weekend.

But I couldn't disappear for a few days before telling you all this:

I feel like Starbuck up there in my icon. My flist has showered me not only with personalised and wonderful goodies, but also with love, kindness, creativity and warmth. *whew, yes, some of those fics and eye-candy pics did get me rather hot under the collar*

If you've missed anything that could be posted, you'll probably find it on snitches_n_smut, my lovely new comm.

I am so grateful - and it's not just the stuff, it's the feeling behind it. Thank you so much for a wonderful day! I felt amazing all day and still do.

A/N: This came to me when driving to work last week, which begs the question were my eyes on the road whilst my head was in the gutter? Thanks to delphipsmith for the once-over and kick up the backside.

Spoilers: None- 6th year (AUish)
Word Count: 5.2K
A/N: Told from both boys' POVs. Hope it's not too hard to understand with all the shifting perspectives- this started out as a series of drabbles.
Disclaimer: Dammit, but they're not mine. They belong to JKR and WB and are also old enough to be doing what they're doing.
Thanks: to delphipsmith for the betas and to bryoneybrynn and abusing_sarcasm for their fabulous and inspirational stories which were the push I needed toward the keyboard.
