Reason and Love: An Improbable Fiction
Susan Bones/Theo Nott. Susan and Theo are both unattached Healers. A drunken Cupid decides it would be fun to pair these two together (it was written for a challenge, and that was the premise provided). Predictably, they fall in love and angst about it because ~they're so different, the other can't possibly return their feelings. This was my first romance fic and one of my first fics period, and it is duly sucky.
The Half-Blood Prince
Snape. This is a story about Snape's childhood and how the rather awful relationship between his father and mother affected him.
Snow After Fire
Rose Weasley. Rose takes after her Uncle Charlie - she works at the MacFustys' dragon reserve in the Hebrides. Life is never routine with dragons involved, but it takes turn for the particularly interesting (and dangerous) when the dragons start coming down with an odd disease. Infodump central but I had fun with it.
Suddenly a Stranger
Lily Evans. After the incident by the lake, Lily considers how much Severus has changed over the years.
A Broken Man
Merlin and Morgan Le Fay. When Morgan captures Lancelot and holds him captive, Merlin comes to the rescue - which is exactly what she was hoping for. All-dialogue fic.
The Mistake
The Fat Friar. When the wizarding monastery where he lives at is attacked by Muggles, Hugh makes the worst mistake of his life.
Honest to the Bone
Susan Bones. Susan has drifted away from her Muggle relatives since starting Hogwarts, and now that she's finished her repeat seventh year, it's time to reconnect. The first relative she chooses to get in touch with is her cousin Georgy, with whom she used to be very close. But how to explain the awkward fact of her finishing school a year later than expected?
An Artful Dodge
OCs. Elaine Carrick is apprenticed to a magical art restorer. When he has to go away suddenly, he leaves her to restore a pair of portraits on her own. It's her first solo assignment, and it goes spectacularly pear-shaped when one of the portraits is stolen. How could anyone have got into the studio without her noticing? And who stole the paintings? I suppose you could say this is from the Tales of Wildwood verse, since it's about the prologue character, some years after the events of the prologue.
The Long Way Back
Percy Weasley. Percy's always trusted the Ministry, even given certain odd recent events. Will he ever wake up to what's going on? Basically the story of how Percy came to terms with what the Ministry became during the second war.
Dock and Jones
So this fic discussion club I'm in on MNFF had a challenge where we wrote drabbles inspired by various famous books (the Literary Drabble Challenge). This was one of thoes drabbles, which ran rather long and had to be cut down, but is posted here in its full form. It was inspired by Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. And fits in not at all with what I think is in the realm of possibility in the Potterverse. But it was fun.
The Truth in the Lie
Helga/Salazar. Salazar has never hesitated to do whatever is necessary to achieve an end, but he starts to question his own wisdom when a plan to put Godric out of his lovesick misery goes awry. At least, he tells himself, neither Helga nor Godric will ever know the full story.
Chaptereds:
Tales of Wildwood
Various OCs. Wildwood Hall has been around since before Merlin, and plenty of dramas have played out within its walls. Basically a series of stories about the de Hautdeserts and their later descendants, the Carricks, but I started it about three years ago and I still haven't finished anything past the prologue. I have put a lot of love and research and planning into the family though so I really do want to get this written eventually. WIP.
Curiosity Killed the Cat
Various OC's, Xeno Lovegood. Pan Laird, daughter of a pureblood supremacist family, is invited to join a special class on spell creation in her fifth year. Abandoned.
The Best Team in East Anglia
Various OCs. Every summer, young witches and wizards in Norfolk and Suffolk form Quidditch teams and compete in the East Anglia Summer Tournament. Isobel Jones convinces her friends to form a team, but if they want to win they'll have to get past some pretty stiff competition. WIP.
A Time to Weep and a Time to Laugh
OC/OC, Dirk Cresswell. Cyril Cresswell lost his father and his girlfriend in the second war against Voldemort. The first he lost to death, but the second is alive, if sunk in grief. But she's not the only one who hasn't moved on, and Cyril's father is allowed to come back as a sort of ghost this Christmas to make his son see sense. Basically a sort of Potterverse Christmas Carol, written for a challenge (I think my least sensical premises generally are, at least in the Potterverse). Complete.
Weird and Wonderful Facts
Susan Bones/OC. Susan is a WWN enthusiast determined to become an advocate. She's settled into a rather ordinary life after the war, but then she meets Robin Chanticleer, who shakes things up quite a bit. WIP.
Letters from the Revolution
I suppose you could call this a chaptered fic. Really it's going to be a collection of letters written in the context of an alternate universe where Voldemort killed the Longbottoms instead of the Potters, put a great big protection spell around London, then unleashed dragons and giants and things on the rest of the country. I regret nothing. WIP.
Fools in Love
Another Literary Drabble thing that ran long. It's meant to be a twoshot but I got bogged down on the second half. Inspired by Twelfth Night, it tells the story of an 18th century English witch who finds herself stranded in Bombay, disguises herself as a man and ends up becoming valet to a somewhat eccentric wizard. And then falling in love with him. Of course. WIP.
Drabbles:
Bafflement
pre-James/Lily. Lily finds James sprawled half-naked across the floor in front of the portrait hole and wants to know why.
A New Life
Helga Hufflepuff. Helga never saw a wand before she was thirteen. She never truly cared, but her father did everything he could to secure her a better life.
A Pair of Pirate Drabbles
Consisting of "Intimidation Tactics" and "The End of Joris Janszoon", these are two more results of the Literary Drabble challenge, inspired respectively by Treasure Island (...just the idea of pirates really) and Macbeth (misinterpreted prophecy). Basically, pirates in the Potterverse in the 1700s.
Bridge Over Troubled Water series
Minerva/Elphinstone Urquart series of drabbles/ficlets - there should be thirteen in the end. Mostly only given this series of drabbles a title in interests of tagging and so I can just link you to the tag on this masterpost instead of slowly listing all thirteen here.
Poetry:
The Nundus
A villanelle about a rather fearsome creature.
Hymn for Defending Hope
A villanelle, a battle cry. Inspired by a quote from Dumbledore.
Flight Song
Inspired by the track 'Obliviate' from the DH1 soundtrack. An exploration of how it would feel to be on the run during the second war.
The Lady Hufflepuff
Everyone talks about the fight between Godric and Salazar. No one remembers that Helga followed Salazar that night. Certainly people don't mention the tragedy that followed. Just won the 2011 Best Poetry QSQ on MNFF, jointly with the opaleye's The Lost Weeks.
Cabin Pressure
Untitled Martin/Douglas drabble
Martin faces Douglas after embarassing himself while drunk.
Doctor Who
The Astronomer
Nine. Surely, somewhere across the galaxy, someone mourned with him.
Trouble's Just the Bits In Between
Ten/Rose. The Doctor and Rose do a lot of world-saving, but what they both like best is simply traveling, seeing the wonders of the universe.
Better a Broken Heart
Ten/Rose. Post-Doomsday, the Doctor considers the consequences of his actions.
Sherlock
What It's Done to Me
John and Sherlock weren't introduced to each other. Separate and alone, they face the consequences of what never was.
Hamlet
Doubt
Hamlet reflects on the poem he sent Ophelia.
Crossovers
Method in Madness | Sherlock (BBC) & Fire and Hemlock
Sherlock/John. John discovers a second set of memories that contradicts what he thought was real. Which set of memories should he believe? Chaptered, WIP.
Everything You Ever | Sherlock (BBC) & Doctor Who
The resolution of the situation in the pool is a victory for Sherlock. But not the kind of victory you think. Songfic for "Everything You Ever" from Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog. Drabble.
A Case of Magic | Sherlock Holmes (canon) & Harry Potter
Watson's first real encounter with Holmes' work was not, as he wrote, the day Watson went with Holmes to investigate a dead body in Lauriston Gardens. He kept the real story under wraps because he was bound by the Statute of Secrecy. Drabble.
Original Fiction
(locked to members, but idk why I bother, lol)
The Pit of Monsters
Short story. Irmodwick is a country plagued by the monsters that live in the wilds to the east. On a day that will be remembered forever, witches gather up and down the border to do something about the menace for good. Ruth is one of these. Set about 100 years prior to Pigeontale, at possibly the most pivotal point in the war on magic known as the Expulsion. Honestly a crap story because I can never get my head around writing short OF stories, but it fleshed out my idea of the history behind it all better. I only wrote it because I took a creative writing class and we had to write short stories as assignments. Letter Composed on an Eastbound Bus
Short story. Cecelia, disillusioned with life at a college far from home, decides to just take a bus home, only to face uncertainty about this decision. Much worse than Pit of Monsters. I came up with it while thinking about how I couldn't come up with any story ideas and listening to my Simon and Garfunkel's Greatest Hits tape - I basically strung the songs on Side B together and made a story out of it.
Pigeontale
Chaptered story (WIP). Elise lives in Irmodwick, a country that abhors all forms of magic. Her father's new wife has decided she wants to play happy family, so Elise leaves her aunt's house, where she has lived most of her life, for the City. On her first night there, she discovers that the stepmother is a witch, and she has hatched a sinister plan involving eleven boys she has turned into pigeons. Elise runs away from her father's house with the pigeons in tow, and now she must figure out how to turn them back, and manage it without letting her stepmother's associates stop her. Retelling of The Wild Swans in a modernish setting, though obviously not the real world.
Grindl and the Princess
Short story. The episode involving Grendel and Heorot from Beowulf told as a folktale where Grendel is the hero, with some Danish fairy mythology in the mix (...because I saw 'descendant of Cain' and my first thought was 'fairy explained in Christian terms.' Not sure how much validity this theory has, but call it a headcanon). No idea why I decided to change Grendel's name, though.
The Elf-King's Tune
Short story. I read about the elf-king's tune (probably in the same book where I read about Danish trolls) and it sort of stoked my imagination, and then one day I randomly decided to write an account of it as told by an inhabitant of a made-up kingdom where I was setting a novel I was writing. Probably utter crap but I had fun writing it.
