Title: The Continuing Adventures of Bungalow Bill and the Eggmen.
Character Pairing: Caradoc Dearborn/Sturgis Podmore (pre-slash)
Other Pairings: pre-Ted Tonks/Andromeda Black, pre-Emmeline Vance/Hestia Jones.
Prompt: "fundamental."
Rating: PG
Word Count: ~720
Summary: "Don't put it all on me, Mister Walrus, mate. I get by with a little help from my friends."
Author's Notes: The slash is still not happening, but it will eventually. Blah blah, based on dontsayaword canon; Sturgis is musify's and Ted is venezia's; Emmeline and Hestia are not based on comagirly's or theblev's. Any Beatles references belong to John, Paul, George, and Ringo.
Link to Prompt Table: Over yonder!

( Of the group into which he's assimilated himself, Sturgis is the only one who doesn't get a Prefect's badge, come fifth year. )

Title: The Early Days of the Three Musketeers
Character Pairing: Caradoc Dearborn/Sturgis Podmore
Prompt: "unidentified falling object."
Rating: G
Word Count: 545
Summary: "Caradoc Dearborn and Sturgis Podmore meet by accident on the train in their first year."
Author's Notes: They're first years. The slash is going to happen eventually, but right now, it's borderline gen. Blah blah, based on dontsayaword canon; Sturgis is musify's and Ted is venezia's.
Link to Prompt Table: Over yonder!

( ...and then something tallish and gangly-limbed falls from nowhere, making a noise sort of like a yelping crash... )

Title: Mindless Repetition
Character Pairing: Percy Weasley/Rufus Scrimgeour
Prompt: "facing tomorrow alone"
Rating: G
Word Count: 811
Summary: "He never even considered the idea that work could fail to distract him..."
Author's Notes: Still very much G-rated, unless Percy's list of complaints about his family is particularly offensive.
Link to Prompt Table: Aqui!

( Two broken noses, a snapped pair of glasses, fifteen minutes, and several hasty apologies and admissions of mutual stupidity later... )

( He looks at Gideon as though he just suggested riding down the main thoroughfare on a flaming unicycle and juggling lobsters. )

Title: Lose the Pants
Characters: Dr. Spencer Reid, Elle Greenaway
Pairings: Reid/Elle
Rating: PG-13, for fade-to-black sensuality.
Summary: "He pauses, looking down at his pants. What's so wrong with gray trousers?"
Word Count: ~640
Prompt(s): "lose the pants"
Disclaimer: Criminal Minds, the characters and situations, and other related things belong to Jeff Davis and CBS, which is to say: not me.
A/N: ...I blame this on "P911" and all of its great Reid/Elle moments. For timing, it's right after "In Plain Sight," in my mind. Also: I wrote het? This is so odd for me.

( Elle Greenaway, Spencer has decided, is a truly singular woman. )

Title: The Centre Cannot Hold (ch. 1/?)
Characters: Dr. Spencer Reid, Jason Gideon, Diana Reid, Will Reid, Derek Morgan, JJ Jareau, Penelope Garcia, Emily Prentiss, mentions of several.
Pairings: Reid/Morgan, Reid/JJ, Reid/2 OFCs.

Word Count: ~5,000
Disclaimer: Criminal Minds, the characters and situations, and other related things belong to Jeff Davis and CBS, which is to say: not me.
A/N: Many thanks to musify & fruityoatybar, my darling betas. ♥

( All of the details are somehow different from the way he's imagined them, but they're nevertheless consistent, in their ways. )

Title: How to Save A Life, pt. 1/?; "A mixed up man, and I guess that's me"
Characters: Barty Crouch, Jr./James Potter, pre-slash.
Rating: PG-13.
Summary: "...he’s removing himself from existence to do everyone a kindness, not to traumatize some children he didn’t know. No doubt seeing a corpse would have done that."
Word Count: ~1,840.
Warnings: Some language, but mostly it's just morbid. Suicidal ideation.
Disclaimer: They're all JKR's kids and/or the kids of JKR's kids; I'm just playing with them. Inspired by blurred_lines canon, but on a total crack tangent from there; all characters are, thus, inspired by their portrayals there. There are a lot of mentions, but special shout outs where they're deserved: James is cupcakecalamity's, Regulus is coeur_delanuit's, Antonin is musify's, Severus is hafren's, Anzhelina is plum's, Lily and Druella are bollywood's, Demetrius is andronicus's, and Aquila is eatamango's.
A/N: This is totally dedicated to cupcakecalamity, seeing as we now share an obsession with this pairing.

( Barty feels oddly even thinking in such terms, but it is bloody cold – Muggle London in February, he chides himself; of course it’s cold... )

Title: Love Is Not A Victory March.
Characters: Severus Snape/Lily Evans-Potter, Barty Crouch, Jr./Severus Snape, Barty Crouch, Jr./James Potter, James Potter/Lily Evans-Potter, with implied Barty Crouch, Jr./Regulus Black and Barty Crouch, Jr./Anzhelina Dolohov
Rating: PG-13, for language, het and slash snogging, marital infidelity, general morbidity.
Summary: “I love you, Lils. I always have.”
Word Count: ~2,960.
Prompt: "dancing with the devil under the pale moonlight" from LJ's ~joss100
Warnings: Slash, snogging, language, generally questionable stuff.
Disclaimer: They're all JKR's kids and/or the kids of JKR's kids; I'm just playing with them. Inspired by, with several revisions to, blurred_lines canon and all characters are influenced by their portrayals there. There are too many mentioned to give everyone an individual shout-out, but: Severus is hafren's, Lily is bollywood's, James and Marius are cupcakecalamity's, Regulus is coeur_delanuit, Antonin is musify's, Crouch Senior is parisian's, and Anzhelina is plum's.
A/N: I continue to be a bad person. This continues to be news. Also, this is dedicated to hafren, as it is entirely her fault.

( Although not notably warm, Severus is surely welcoming – how can he not be? )

Title: While your head is spinning.
Characters: Barty Crouch, Jr./Severus Snape.
Rating: PG-13.
Summary: “You do have problems!”
Word Count: 740.
Warnings: Slash, snogging, language, generally questionable stuff.
Disclaimer: They're all JKR's kids and/or the kids of JKR's kids; I'm just playing with them. Not at all inspired by or reflective of blurred_lines or dontsayaword canon. This Severus is in no way related to hafren's or katling's. Demetrius Mucliber, on the other hand, is borrowed from blurred_lines canon and is andronicus's.
A/N: I'm still a bad person. This is news? Also, I remembered this weekend why "We Both Go Down Together" was always my Barty/Severus theme song. Then I missed my OTP. So I wrote this while waiting for my flight.

( Everything is wonderful; for once, Severus has won something. )

Title: The shadow of the valley of death.
Characters: Barty Crouch, Jr. & Severus Snape.
Rating: G, but sacrilegious.
Summary: “How, exactly, would Psalm 23 justify the ways of the Dark Lord to her, Barty?”
Word Count: 505.
Disclaimer: They're all JKR's kids and/or the kids of JKR's kids; I'm just playing with them. Inspired by blurred_lines canon; all characters are, thus, inspired by their portrayals there. Sev is hafren's, Julianne is despoir's, Regulus is coeur_delanuit's, and Agnes is sherlock's.
A/N: I'm a bad person. This is all.

( I'm well aware of that, Severus, but consider this, if you will... )

Title: A beautiful friendship.
Characters: The Girl and The Ficus.
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Questionable language? Mentions of a post-apocalyptic scenario?
Word Count: 713.
Prompt(s): this game from ~nanoljers @ LJ.
Summary: Nuclear winter happened! ...Now what?
Disclaimer: Mine. No touchy. Any pop culture stuff mentioned is very much not mine.
A/N: Holy crap on a stick, it's something original. Basically, my writing professor dared me to not be long-winded. So this happened.

( The French have a way of discussing orgasms... )

Title: Untitled, for the moment; Chapter One, "A Life of Little Significance".
Characters: So far? Aldous "Alex" Wolfe, Lola "Elizabeth/Lizzie" Luckins, Mother and Father Wolfe, Richard, and various personages in Gracewood, USA, with mentions of Dan Weymouth and Jules Hopkins.
Rating: R
Warnings: Questionable language, off-hand mentions of zombie violence, bloodshed, suicide, family violence, and different ways to die.
Word Count: ~5,720.
Prompt(s): none.
Summary: In which we begin at the end and then see the very beginning.
Disclaimer: Mine. No touchy. Any pop culture stuff mentioned is very much not mine.
A/N: Holy crap on a stick, it's something original. This is most of the rest of the "chapter one" from the previous installment (with the original stuff still here for good measure); there's more that likely will be added, but, at the moment, this is it. I'm writing zombie noir satiric love fiction in a class on Proust. Can we say awesome?

( Alright, rewind. )

Title: Of Hippolyta and Boadicea.
Characters: Albus Severus Potter/girl!David Dursley
Rating: PG-13, for kissing, and subject matter, and Al having quite the little mouth on him. And, technically, it's second cousin incest, but it's only a little bit, right at the end.
Summary: "Couldn’t believe he was making David go out in public – honestly! David had been the one who wanted Chinese!"
Word Count: ~1,350
Prompt(s): "haute cuisine" from my joss_100 table.
Disclaimer: They're all JKR's kids and/or the kids of JKR's kids; I'm just playing with them. Inspired by nextgen canon; David is musify's boy.
A/N: This little number is dedicated to musify, because she is awesome and it is her birthday. ♥

( Al sighed, exasperated, and slumped down in his seat, staring across the table at David... )
