The Nympherie

I shall start this post by saying that I wish a very happy birthday to snegurochka_lee (it's after midnight here). She is pretty much the only person I am still in contact with from my first fandom home and it makes me so happy she is still around in Harry Potter fandom and I love seeing her posts, even if I am rubbish at commenting ever. She is an amazing author and gives good rec and is generally awesome. A lot has changed since we first met (for instance both of us totally used to avoid H/D ;)) but even though we have drifted out of contact I am very happy to know her. I totally blame her for getting me into slash as well! I was happily going along reading Snape/Various Female Characters and she went "Wow, what if Lupin and Snape had sex?! That is such an original idea!" And here I am now.

Second, I have the past few months been getting into fandom properly a bit more. I have never properly dropped out of it, but not having a working computer for 3-4 months last year made me drift further out then ever before. I've been enjoying some of the hp_darkfest fics and a few other things and I am totally looking forward to Christmas fests. I still love the Harry Potter world so much, even after more than ten years after (nearly 11 in fact) I first got addicted. Because of it I have met so many lovely people and even gotten closer to my sister. I am so lucky to have rl friends because of HP fandom. Now, we don't always talk about Harry Potter sometimes we talk about kink but it is great to have friends with whom you can analyse whether items in any given shop are the correct shade of pink for Draco to wear them.

I had an amazing hallowe'en weekend at an amazing place with amazing Harry Potter fans (I had so much fun cosplaying Hermione much of the weekend, and Andromeda on Saturday evening for the family reuion from hell!). Thanks a lot to this I have even been writing and am considering doing hp_kinkfest. I was not sure, but son_of_darkness was telling me I should do it and hedonisticated gave me a bit of a bunny. Which will probably not be SSC or even RACK! :P It is scary the thought of writing something and putting it out there, it has been so long!

Finally, Christmas is less then a month away! This is so cool! Eee! *throws snowballs*

P.S. Blah blah, I know I haven't updated in over a year, posts apologising for that are so dull. But I am sorry.

My mind was blanking, so I wrote some drabbles. Here you go!

Title: The Mirror Cracked From Side to Side
Author: dora_the_nymph
Characters: Petunia/James
Genre: Angst
Words: 1217
Rating: PG-13
Disclaimer: I am just a mere unpaid fanfic writer, it all belongs to JKR and whoever else she sold her soul to.
Warnings: None, that I can think of.

Notes: Written for bussaikko in xylodemon's The I Didn't Get To Go To TWH Ficlet-a-thon. She asked for Petunia with the prompt "The mirror cracked from side to side". I did what I could in the little time I had (as I wouldn't have gotten a chance to polish it after this before the deadline).

( The Mirror Cracked From Side to Side )

Okay, I was stressed and annoyed, and snegurochka_lee reminded me about the drabbling communities on lj, so I wrote these drabbles.

Title: Walk Right Past
Words: 100
Rating: G
Characters: Lupin
Written for lupin100 challenge 'charity'.

( Walk Right Past )

Title: Remember
Words: 100
Rating: G, maybe PG
Characters: Marauders, James/Lily
Written for hp100 challenge 'marauders'

( Remember )

Title: Cleaning
Words: 100
Rating: G, vaguest PG possibilities.
Characters: Hermione/Ron, Lavender
Written for hermione100 challenge odd jobs and previous encounters mainly, but there is love and even vaguely affairs!

( Cleaning )

This was good for stress relief despite being surprisingly up-beat and vanilla. I like the last one most, I think, but I'm a not-very closet Ron/Hermione shipper.

Yup, I know I said I'd calm down on the fic, but this drabble has been in my head trying to get out since Monday night.

Title: One and One and One and One
Pairing/s: M/W/P/P, pretty much
Summary: One and one and one and one do not make four, they simply make one and one and one and one.
Rating: PG 13/R
Words: 100
Notes: The 'one and one and one and one' thing comes from 'The Handmaid's Tale' by Margaret Attwood, which is utterly amazing.

( One and One and One and One )

Last night I went toqueerditch_pub and here is what I wrote:

( Narcissa/Kingsley (or anyone, really): So she tells him she must go out for the evening / To comfort an old friend who’s feelin’ down / But he knows where she’s goin’ as she’s leavin’ / She is headed for the cheatin’ side of town )

( Bellatrix/Ginny/Draco: Now, little boy lost, he takes himself so seriously / He brags of his misery, he likes to live dangerously / And when bringing her name up / He speaks of a farewell kiss to me NC 17 contains non-con, 294 words )

( Sirius/Regulus: Forget, regrets, or life is yours to miss. No other road, no other way, no day but today. R, contains incest (duh) 132 words )

( Sirius/Lily: And she makes me want to be a homosexual / Maybe I'll be her best friend, maybe see her naked once in a while )

( Remus/Sirius: Cause I think more than I want to think / I do things I never should do / I drink much more than I ought to drink )

When I was writing I totally didn't realise just how much Sirius I was doing, which is funny, because the only time I'm ever attempted Sirius was in 'Summers at the Cottage' and he's 9 then?

Can anyone guess which two I picked entirely because of snegurochka_lee? And which third I would never contemplate if it weren't for her?

Also, woah. I've written het now. And non con. And incest. That was unexpected.

Title: Reflections
Pairings: H/D, but not quite
Rating: I want to call it G.
Warnings: Character death.
Summary: Draco remembers the past when his eyes meet green again.
Disclaimers: It belongs to JKR, not to me.
Words: 100

( Reflections )

Okay, I've decided to finally mention this here, I wrote a fic for the femgenficathon. I can't remember how to do wordy links so I won't but it's:

Title: Summers at the Cottage
Author: dora_the_nymph
Rating: PG
Warnings: None.
Prompt: 14. The smells alone would intoxicate the most rigid of people: night-blooming jasmine, the tang of salt air, and the odd sandy smell after a driving rain. Overhead, creamy, imposing clouds sailed across brilliant blue skies, and the ocean--what colors: cobalt-blue, emerald-green, turquoise-blue, and light-hazel bands of color right next to one another.--Rita Mae Brown (It lead to the inspiration, but only vaguely).
Notes: Huge thanks to rayvyn2k for the spectactular beta job.
Summary: When Narcissa was five her family stayed at the beach for the first time. As she got older and her sisters went to school things changed, but at the beach most things stayed the same.
Disclaimer: These characters and some settings belong to JKR.

And, now for the real reason I bothered to mention it. livii has reccommended it on crack_broom. I am in happy bouncy awe.

Why she says you should read it: "A lovely look at the Black sisters, through the eyes of a young Narcissa. The story is told in snapshots, advancing the plot two years at a time, moving forward yet keeping an interesting continuity throughout. It also ties in canon in wonderful ways, including a scenario wherein Regulus gets his first look inside That Cave. It's a simple story, but pleasant and satisfying, and compared to most of the other stories I recommended this month, it ends my recs on a quiet note, and seemed ideal for the end of August, and summer."

And I'll put this up on Pureblood and Lumos when I can.
