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.

( 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.

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

Title: Reminisce
Characters: Barty Crouch, Jr., mentions of Aquila Avery and Regulus Black.
Rating: G, but emo.
Summary: "If he had not gotten drunk and played with knives, then Aquila would not be forcing on him this wretched exercise in futility."
Word Count: 325.
Prompt(s): "childish behavior" and this photo.
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. Aquila is eatamango's and Regulus is coeur_delanuit's.
A/N: Written for day 1 of LJ's ~nest_of_spiders fest.

( Barty sank disconsolately onto his bed, hands folded in his lap and eyes fixated on the ever-increasing pile of boxes in his flat... )

Title: Blessed Imperfection
Characters: Barty Crouch, Jr./Regulus Black, mentions of Aquila & Astra Avery and Georgina Wilkes.
Rating: PG-13, for implicationy goodness.
Summary: "Regulus is far from perfect; Barty has been perfectly aware of that for ages."
Word Count: 286
Prompt(s): "holier than thou"
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.
A/N: Dedicated to coeur_delanuit & anecdotal -- the former because she's totally encouraging this, and the latter because she's so awesome even her character ships Barty/Reg.

( There are several faults, of course... )

Title: Study Break
Characters: Barty Crouch, Jr./Regulus Black, mentions of Aquila & Astra Avery, Severus Snape, and Georgina, Jacqueline, & Julianne Wilkes.
Rating: PG, for just... PG.
Summary: "Unfortunately, the reality of the situation was everything that Regulus had wished against..."
Word Count: 655
Prompt(s): "T is for troll"
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.
A/N: I'm really disappointed that this isn't slashier. It is, however, adorable.

( As he wandered into the Common Room, Regulus was honestly hoping that Barty was out breaking rules for once... )

Title: Mist of Some Sweet Afternoon
Characters: Zacharias Smith/Cedric Diggory.
Rating: PG, for some very brief language. Also, S, for sweet.
Summary: "Sure, he has his ideas and vague memories of everything, but nothing really feels solid and reliable..."
Prompt(s): "little black sheep"
Disclaimer: They're all JKR's kids and/or the kids of JKR's kids; I'm just playing with them.
A/N: So, I picked a title for this series: Pequeño vals vienés, after Lorca's poem, "Pequeño vals vienés." Both Leonard Cohen's "Take This Waltz" and Federico Garcia Lorca's "Little Viennese Waltz" can be read here. Also: I know that this looks AU. But trust me that it isn't and keep reading.

( They’re going on five years here, in Vienna... )

Title: Your Mouth and The Echoes
Characters: Zacharias Smith/Cedric Diggory.
Rating: PG, for some very brief language. Also, S, for sweet.
Summary: "Even the noise around them fades into unimportance."
Prompt(s): "not listening to a word"
Disclaimer: They're all JKR's kids and/or the kids of JKR's kids; I'm just playing with them.
A/N: So, I'm going to title this series. I haven't picked an official title yet, though I'm probably going to go with Pequeño vals vienés. Why that title, in particular? Well. First off, because this series will most likely be written under the influence of Leonard Cohen's "Take This Waltz" and the poem it was based on, Federico Garcia Lorca's "Little Viennese Waltz" (Pequeño vals vienés in the original Spanish). Both of them can be read here. Also: I know that this looks AU. But trust me that it isn't and keep reading.

( Cedric is talking; Zach knows that much... )

Title: Losing the Faith
Character Pairing: Severus Snape/Barty Crouch, Jr.
Prompt: "'I wash my hands of thee'"
Rating: R
Word Count: 666

Author's Notes: Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11.
