Collecting Prompts again

[lomonaaeren]

Now that I have two recently finished chaptered stories, I've decided that Tuesdays will be dedicated to finishing up late Advent fics and eventually, neglected chaptered stories. Today I'll post the first part of "Anularius," a Harry/Snape prompt I was writing for Advent that got way too long and had to become a chaptered story, and after I finish

I thought I'd throw out the things I've been wanting to read and can't find, and see what sticks. No matter which one you choose, I think it'll be wonderful to read, and I'm already looking forward to seeing your takes on the prompts submitted before mine.

1. H/D, a follow up to my Advent fic with Pansy and Harry as Auror partners, addressing a case involving former Death Eaters either as the victims (being targeted for not being punished "enough" or similarly) or as perpetrators targeting Harry and/or Draco and/or Pansy (possibly because the three of them are socially linked).
2. Scorpius apprenticing to Harry after Hogwarts as a spell inventor or other type of magical researcher. Draco turns up when Scorpius is injured in the course of his training. He and Harry haven't had much contact since 8th year at Hogwarts, but had the beginnings of a decent friendship that year and until Draco married Astoria and Harry went off to travel and train for his career outside of England. While Scorpius recovers (whether it's a day or weeks), Harry and Draco reconnect and realize they not only want a friendship but possibly a romance.
3. Epistolary fic in the year after graduating Hogwarts, with Harry and Draco each traveling. Whether they were friends in the last months of school, or a mutual friend (Pansy? Neville? Blaise?) suggested one should contact the other for tips about a place, or there's some other reason they start writing to each other, I'd really love to see the snarky notes they send back and forth, and what impresses (or bores, horrifies, charms) them about various locations.
4. I almost cringe to ask for this, but an American (magical) university AU with Draco and Harry ending up on the same campus with everyone assuming they must either be great friends since they're from the same school in the UK, or that they're a couple. Neither is true at the start, and don't have to be at the end. If you don't want to go with Harry/Draco as the endgame, I would like to see Snape/Draco with Harry being brought into their relationship and it needing to be explained that Snape is *not* Draco or Harry's parent but their mutual lover, or a moment where it's discovered that Harry is dating Lucius and soon to be Draco's stepfather, whether Draco was aware of this or not.
5. AU from any point in canon such that Draco is sorted into Gryffindor rather than Slytherin. I'd prefer it be through a re-sorting at the start of an eighth year, for Draco refusing to identify Harry to the snatchers, and possibly with a trade-off of Ron going to Slytherin or Ravenclaw for the sort of ruthless tactical abilities he's demonstrated throughout canon.

My squicks are in line with the things you'd rather not write, although I'd add any kind of pregnancy, ageplay, and all rodents aside from ferrets as things to please avoid. I'm fond of Narcissa, which I blame entirely on the way you write her, and inventive modes of courtship, whether they result from pureblood tradition or emotional awkwardness where it's easier to give a gift than talk about feelings.
