It turns out, hp-halloween, the Halloween-themed gift exchange, is quite a demanding fest: 70 double-drabbles, all posted on one day, ranging from fluffy rom-com to chilling horror tales... I have finally managed to read my way through this year's batch, and here are some of my favourites:

( HP Halloween drabbles )

Over at hp_halloween, the Harry Potter Halloween drabble exchange, posting has commenced. And I can't tell you how happy I am with my gift: kellychambliss wrote the perfect Bellatrix, a connoisseur of death, traversing the realms of life and death, familiar with the secrets of the Veil. It's a haunting horror masterpiece in only 200 words: To and Fro

Hey everyone who's into Sherlock, but doesn't read weepingcock: apparently, Mark Gatiss himself has been known to dabble in writing Gay Porn, excerpts of which may be found here.

Enjoy!

Picture Holmes and Watson, if you dare.

Oh, look! I've managed to stick to my plan for two days!

I mentioned Tom Sawyer in yesterday's post, ( Read more... )

My gift fic has been posted. The delightful fidelia_guff published the delightful report A Week in the Life - the true story of Remus Lupin and Bill Weasley's guard duty. I am overwhelmed. Sparkling dialogues, lovely characterisation and - cats! Well, one cat, but Mr Tibbles has conquered my heart. There really should be more Mr Tibbles fics around, especially ( Read more... )

skylark97 wrote a Bill/Remus fic that so pushes all my buttons it's not even funny. Can you say customised kink-fic?

Another wonderful fic written for the crossover_hp challenge: Voldemort meets his Death at last. HP/Discworld crossover. A hilarious piece, featuring a wonderful Death, Mrs. Flamel's cream cake and, of course, a Game. Cake or Death?, PG
