H/D Book Fair Prompting!
The prompting post closes on June 7th! Go prompt today!
Hee, so far I've prompted:
[Eldred Worple's Blood Brothers: My Life Amongst the Vampires]Additions: Saving people thing | cemetery or cathedral or castle or other old architectural sites | prominent lickable collarbones
Scenario/Book: A gothic H/D story with vampires. I would love to read parts of Eldred Worple's Blood Brothers: My Life Amongst the Vampires
[Confronting the Faceless]Additions: Near death situation | old dusty tomes | race against the clock
Scenario/Book: Dementors are among the foulest creatures that walk this earth. For centuries, they were thought of as soulless beings, born of out of nothing but tragedy and despair. If you've been Kissed by one, you'll be reduced to nothing but a living shell. But what if the experts and texts - Confronting the Faceless (Chapter on Dementors) amongst them - are wrong? When Harry and/or Draco were faced with this possibility and tried to fix it, did they take on something too big for them to handle? [More under cut!]I'd love for you to write about the reasons Dementors came into being and their needs to feed on happiness - that or how human souls aren't really consumed by these creatures so you can technically bring people back. (Ideas and plot scenarios you don't have to follow: Dementors were a cursed race/human once | The reasons they are taking souls and feeding on happiness is because they wanted to fill the void of what they've lost | Dementors breed by corrupting a human soul turning it into one of them | Draco's father was Kissed, Draco tried to bring him back and discovers something else in the process | Dark Creatures expert Potter and Unspeakable Malfoy have to work together when Dementors were breeding at alarming rates | What if Patronus Charms no longer work? | You can go anywhere with this!)
[Year With The Yeti]Additions: Poking fun at Year With The Yeti and it's author | Bickering | Sharing body warmth
Scenario/Book: Luna takes Harry on a Yeti search expedition in Nepal where they meet national park volunteer or magizoologist or hermit (anything!)!Draco. Their experience is nothing at all like Lockhart's Year With The Yeti.
[Merpeople: A Comprehensive Guide to Their Language and Customs]Additions: Some Merpeople could walk on land or speak human languages | Unusual delicacies from the ocean | Sea creatures as friends
Scenario/Book: Harry falls in love with merman!Draco of the royal Malfoy tribe. He must convince Draco's family that he is worthy of Draco by courting him the mer-way. Harry learns the merpeople customs from Merpeople: A Comprehensive Guide to Their Language and Customs. Let's just say that the book was more than a little outdated.
[Weird Wizarding Dilemmas and Their Solutions, Common Magical Ailments and Afflictions and The Healer's Helpmate]Additions: Healer uniform | Harry or Draco suffering from a bizarre illness (not Mpreg, lol!) | UST (that's eventually resolved)
Scenario/Book: Draco or Harry is a Healer specialising in unusual medical cases. He's seen patients suffering from all kinds of rare diseases and atypical reactions to spells or curses. One day, Harry or Draco walks in with a problem that (the provided solution in) Weird Wizarding Dilemmas and Their Solutions, Common Magical Ailments and Afflictions and The Healer's Helpmate couldn't help. [Examples of Unusual Illnesses]Think the Wizarding versions of Foreign Accent Syndrome, Frégoli syndrome (seeing doppelgängers), Cotard's Syndrome (zombie delusions), Persistent Sexual Arousal Syndrome, Leukodystrophy (age-reversal), allergy to water, and the likes.
[Notable Magical Names of Our Time]
Additions: Discussion about the Astrology Tower scene (Does Draco know the truth?) | Pensieve memories
Scenario/Book: After the War, Severus Snape will be one of the names added to the Notable Magical Names of Our Time. Both Harry and Draco are approached for this project as they had witnessed and shared many important moments in Snape's life up till the time of his death.
[Twelve Fail-Safe Ways to Charm Witches]Additions: Oblivious-and-bemused!Harry | In-denial-but-secretly-smitten!Draco | Draco's attempts at flirting is indistinguishable from insults
Scenario/Book: Draco decided to write or follow a guide on courting and flirting with Wizards ala Twelve Fail-Safe Ways to Charm Witches. To prove that the methods are sound, Draco tested them on his one-true-nemesis, Harry bloody Potter. (Feel free to switch it around!)
[Trapped in one of these books: Great Wizarding Events of the Twentieth Century, Hogwarts: A History, The Rise and Fall of the Dark Arts, or Tales of Beedle the Bard]Additions: Magic working differently | Bickering | Find a way out
Scenario/Book: Harry and Draco got trapped in a book. Struggling to find a way to free themselves, they undergo a journey that will test them in ways they can't imagine. Books to choose from: Great Wizarding Events of the Twentieth Century, Hogwarts: A History, The Rise and Fall of the Dark Arts, or Tales of Beedle the Bard.
[Sex with A Guide to Advanced Transfiguration]Additions: Messy sex | Feel free to go the kinky or funny route with this
Scenario/Book: To spice up their love life, Harry or Draco used a spell from A Guide to Advanced Transfiguration to enhance their ... features. (Think kinky body modifications like knots or tentacles)
[The Warlock's Hairy Heart]Additions: Magical tapestry | Midnight | Side effects
Scenario/Book: Crossover with The Warlock's Hairy Heart (from The Tales of Beedle the Bard). Draco or Harry is a young warlock who locks his heart away so he can't be hurt by love.
