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: 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

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: The shadow of the valley of death.
Characters: Barty Crouch, Jr. & Severus Snape.
Rating: G, but sacrilegious.

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.

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

Title: It's a bitch convincing people to like you.
Characters: Barty Crouch, Jr./James Potter.

A/N: Uhm. I was listening to "I Can't Decide" by Scissor Sisters before a class on Paradise Lost. This happened in the middle of my notes. Title is a lyric from aforementioned song.

( You play good Quidditch. )

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.

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. Pepper is keieeeye's, Jo is likethistledown's, and Millicent is cupiscent's.
A/N: Dedicated to pickledpepper, who is fictional but deserves a shout-out anyway because I ♥ him. Written for day 5 of LJ's ~nest_of_spiders fest.

( Looking back on the evening now, Pepper is not entirely sure how he wound up here... )

Characters: Barty Crouch, Jr., Regulus Black, Aloysius Croaker, Octavius Pepper, Riley Quinn, and Anzhelina Dolohov, with mentions of several more.

A/N: This is the beginning of pure, cracky goodness and the other nine parts will be as well. Dedicated to anecdotal, who is, like, the queen of crack.

Rating: PG-13, for some language.
Summary: "...and everybody thinks you’re bloody special, but you’re not! You’re just not, Kevin, and you’re a real git for acting like you are!"
Disclaimer: They're all JKR's kids and/or the kids of JKR's kids; I'm just playing with them.
A/N: Written on the spur of the moment, because I couldn't shake the idea of my Kevin (beyondsunset), his cousin/brain-twin, and his brother standing in an alley behind a Munich beer hall, snapping at each other. Uhm. Lots of dialogue, follows resurrectio_rpg canon, and it has a mild case of The Angst.

( First, he’d just been upset, but then he’d gotten loud and upset, and now he looked to be on the verge of tears as he wrestled out of Dan and Kevin’s hands... )

Title: Lost and Found

( Terry wasn’t really in the mood to find any sort of redeeming factor in anything, truth be told... )

Rating: PG-13, for some slash of the implications, kissing, and snarky flirting variety.
Summary: "...all he wanted to do was sit on the over-stuffed divan, eating foil-wrapped chocolates."
Prompt: "Chocolate Kisses."
Disclaimer: They're all JKR's kids and/or the kids of JKR's kids; I'm just playing with them.
A/N: Written for the 1000ways_claw Valentine's challenge. And I should be working on my 125 prompts or my psych paper instead, but am not.

( Theodore liked odd things, which Terry knew quite well... )

Title: Predestination
Characters: Terry Boot and Daphne Greengrass.
Rating: G.
Summary: Terry tries to explain God's Plan to Daphne.

Disclaimer: They're all JKR's kids and/or the kids of JKR's kids; I'm just playing with them.
A/N: Uhm. Kirley wanted to do something adorable with his goddaughter. So I let him. Anastasia and her dad, Donaghan Tremlett, are Sally's characters at rent_asunder.

( Bad things usually tended to happen when he was only with himself, and he was rather unaccompanied at the moment... )
