Alohomora Society: A Young Wizard’s Guide to Etiquette, for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
who_la_hoop
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco, R/H implied
Summary: The youngest Auror in the UK continues to make errors which are blighting his reputation. In desperation, Kingsley Shacklebolt makes a deal with a former Death Eater currently on probation: make Harry Potter fit for pure-blood society, and he will receive full pardon. Fail, and it’s back to Azkaban.
Rating: R
Warning(s): Certain sympathy toward breaking rules of etiquette, males depicted enjoying the usual sorts of sexual behaviours with other males, a little angst but nothing suburban level.
Epilogue compliant? EWE. Nothing counts as canon besides the books themselves, except for random names, etc. For the perspicacious, there is a small comment on JKR’s Epilogue in the last chapter.
Word Count: Approximately 34,000 words
Author's Notes: I hope you like this,who_la_hoop! I tried to go with the spirit of your request, since there were so many possibilities. I hope you find some of the magic creative, anyway! I took your “leather pants” comment as an inspiration for one scene (you’ll recognize it), and worked very hard to build UST. I was unable to get them into compromising situations when not yet sexually involved; Harry and I did our best, but Draco vetoed the whole idea on the grounds that he was frustrated enough.
Thanks to my brilliant betas, who took this on despite their own deadlines and helped me finish it and clean it up in the typo and Britpicking departments… Any errors remaining are my own. Please note: I’ve used my punctuation to underscore differences in attitude toward aspects of Wizarding culture; hence, Draco’s “Society” is Harry’s “society” and so forth. Italics show where the loudest part of a sentence lies, when appropriate.
More Than Blueberry Scones, for oncologisted
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco, + a spoiler pairing (not Harry or Draco with someone else)
Summary: Draco really hates Teddy Lupin. He even has good reasons for it, not the least of which being the rumors about him and Harry Potter.
Rating: PG-13
Epilogue compliant? Yes
Word Count: 5,900
Author's Notes: Happy holidays! Here, have some Teddy, and I do hope that you don't mind a touch of farce.
Light My Fire, for sassy_cissa
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco
Summary: If he could change reality, Harry would make the best of it.
Rating: R
Warning(s): A little bit of nudity, underwear, men getting a bit too happy. Nothing too graphic.
Epilogue compliant? Maybe, maybe not. I guess it has an open interpretation
Artist's Notes: M'dear, it was very difficult to think of something at first, just because I think you deserve a piece that's spectacular. I've always enjoyed your writings when I have a chance to read them, so I suppose this is something to show some appreciation. I carefully looked at your prompts and such and let my mind run away with a few ideas. So, I hope you like this! Enjoy!
The Best Gift, for sugareey
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco
Summary: Harry takes his Secret Santa assignment a little too seriously.
Rating: PG13
Epilogue compliant? EWE
Word Count: 7,687
Author's Notes: Tosugareey, I hope you enjoy this. It’s a bit softer and more Christmassy than intended, but I hope I incorporated as many little details as you wanted. Happy Christmas!!
Twelve Seemingly Insignificant Moments That Change Everything, for florahart
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco, Harry/Ginny, implied Draco/Astoria, implied Ron/Hermione, Scorpius/Rose
Summary: Simple moments that might seem inconsequential are the building blocks of a greater whole.
Rating: Hard R
Warning(s): Implied Het, Non-Evil!Ginny, distinct scenes spanning twenty-five years
Epilogue compliant? Yes
Word Count: ~5,600
Author's Notes: I had a devil of a time with this one. It wasn't quite what I intended, but I hopeflorahart likes what finally came out in the end. I tried to include as many of the likes that florahart mentioned as I could (and let me tell you, it was a challenge to fit in furniture mishaps). Her one word prompts of gravity, berries, drive, spark, barefoot, column were the impetus of my choices for several of the scenes. Much gratitude to my nameless betas. Some of you may recognise the words at the beginning. I've shortened the passage and tweaked the tense, but I'd never claim it wasn't originally Jo's.
Slytherella (or a Gay Fairytale about Cinder Boy, a Prince Decidedly Uncharming and no Glass Slippers Whatsoever), for enchanted_jae
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco (Prince Charming/Cinder)
Summary: Some fairy tales start with Grand Balls and Fair Maidens or Handsome Princes, with Fairy Godmothers that grant wishes, or even with Evil Witches that would curse one of the protagonists. In the fine tradition that many a fairytale has established, this one also begins with a Ball, where the Not-Quite-a-Maiden and the Not-Quite-a-Prince cross paths…
Rating: NC-17
Warning(s): mpreg, and gruesome and merciless butchering of a fairytale. Nothing else really squick-worthy but the mpreg.
Epilogue compliant? EWE
Word Count: ~15,000
Author's Notes: Dearenchanted_jae, I had great fun writing this fic and the plot bunny really went for your 'likes'. It's not an Auror!fic, yet there's an Auror present. It's not a Creature!fic, but creatures are mentioned. The cross-dressing was a surprise to me too and it's actually 'blink and you miss it', but somehow it slithered its way into the story.
My eternal gratitude and respect to the mods for their patience and understanding, and for the wonderful fest they manage. Thanks to D and N for betaing this. It's thanks to them that it's any good at all. I can't express how much I appreciate their help. Any remaining mistakes, plot issues and whatever else would be only my fault.
The Potter-Malfoy Problem, for odds_are_evie
Summary: The room of requirement's gone mad — at least, that's what Harry thinks. There's no way that Draco Malfoy 'requires' him, of all people, but why does it keep dragging Harry there like he's some kind of furniture, every time Malfoy enters it? Throw in Pansy the pervert and a clipboard-wielding Hermione, and things can only go from bad to worse. And that's not even mentioning the pirates . . .
Rating: NC-17
Warning(s): Hot sexin' (om nom nom) of both a top!Harry and top!Draco variety, sort-of voyeurism, bad language, a dash of girl-on-girl snogging and blatant abuse of the prompt 'pirates' to get Draco in a dress.
Epilogue compliant? Definitely not :D
Word Count: ~29,000
Author's Notes:odds_are_evie, thank you for your fabulous prompts. You asked for plot with a side of porn (and pirates :D), with a dash of friends offering unhelpful advice, amongst other things, and I tried my level best to hit your kinks! I very much hope that you enjoy. Thanks also to NQ, who has been eight billion times more patient with me than I deserve, and is truly all kinds of fabulous.
