Yup, I've done more. This, people, is called severe procrastination about a certain multi-chaptered fic I'm writing. And this time you've
elfie_007 to blame. So, a mix of pairings, and a mix of genres (and quality *grin*). It's particularly amusing writing the pairings I don't ship... Oh, and these are unbeta'd so if anyone spots any mistakes - give me a shout!

"What're you doing?" Seamus asked, whipping Dean's sketchpad from under his scribbling pencil.
Dean reached out, but Seamus dodged away. "Give it back!"
"Want to see what you've been drawin'."
Anger turned to fear. "Please. Give it back."
Seamus frowned, wavering, but he'd wondered for so long. He looked down.
His own pencil-drawn face grinned mischievously up at him. He flicked back a page. He was sleeping. Every page, every image, was of him.
Seamus lifted his eyes to see Dean's usually open face clouded with worry.
With a familiar grin, Seamus asked, "Want to try a nude?"
Dean nodded.

Rating: PG
Summary: Some things shouldn't be forgotten. (Harry/Ron SLASH)
Author's Notes: This is SLASH. Do NOT read if this offends you. Unbeta'd.
It had started as a drunken fumble against a wall outside their flat, studiously forgotten come the morning.
The second time, it was harder to ignore; Ron finding himself in Harry's bed, his arm draped lazily over his sleeping friend. He'd put it down to rebound sex, blamed it on Hermione, and was back in his room before Harry opened his eyes.
The third time, they were stone-cold sober, sitting on the settee and arguing about Quidditch. Harry had just insulted the Cannons' Keeper, and Ron shot forwards, planting a kiss on his lips to shut him up.
They remembered.

Rating: PG
Summary: Harry needs someone that sees him. (Harry/Neville SLASH)
Author's Notes: This is SLASH. Do NOT read if this offends you. Unbeta'd.
Neville knew.
Harry could sit for hours, not saying a word, and Neville would listen.
Harry could hold back tears, bite down on the anger bubbling inside, and Neville would give him invisible tissues, and let him punch at the darkness.
Harry could stare, eyes filled with promises of kisses and touches, of fingers sliding across smooth skin, and Neville would let out an exasperated sigh and reach out, grabbing Harry's robes and pulling him close, pressing warm lips against his.
'Some things were best dealt with out in the open' as Neville's gran liked to say. He vehemently agreed.

"Moony?"
"What?" Remus didn't look up from his book as Sirius poked his head around the door.
"Where are your slippers?"
Reluctantly, he lifted his eyes. "On my feet," he said. "Why?"
"You might need them." Sirius grinned. "Well, one of them anyway."
"Sirius…"
"Padfoot had an accident."
"What?"
"He's made a mess on the floor; I think you might need to punish him." Sirius waggled his eyebrows.
Remus fought the smile that threatened. He laid the book aside, reaching to slide off a slipper.
Sirius' grin widened. "You'll have to catch him first," he said, and then ran, laughing.

Author's Notes: This is SLASH. Do NOT read if this offends you. Unbeta'd.
"How are you feeling?" Snape enquired, looking over the rim of his teacup as Lupin shuffled into the kitchen.
Lupin scowled. "It's nearly the full moon, that Wolfsbane Potion of yours isn't working at all, and my head's pounding. How do you think I'm feeling?"
"I was merely…"
"I know what 'you were merely'," Lupin snapped. "But you can take your pretended concern and shove it up your-"
"Silence!" Snape bellowed, then said serenely, "I suggest some chamomile tea, some chocolate, and if you keep a civil tongue in your head, I might even deign to give you a massage."

Title: Trust

rospberryCharacters/Pairing: Ron/Hermione
Rating: G
Summary: Married life isn't always bliss.
Author's Notes: Unbeta'd.
"Ronald Bilius Weasley!"
Ron whirled around, looking guilty. "Don't do that! You sounded just like my mum."
Hermione eyed the scrolls bundled on the table behind her husband suspiciously. "What are you doing?"
"Nothing," he said, gaze shifting.
"Why don't I believe you?"
"I dunno. Maybe 'cause you never believe anything I tell you," he snapped. He looked at her. "Just once, can't you trust me?"
"Oh, stop being so melodramatic." She left the room in a flurry of curls and annoyance.
Ron turned, and with a sweep of his arm, sent the surprise party invitations cascading onto the floor.

Title: A Wedding
Fandom: Harry Potter
Author:
rospberryCharacters/Pairing: Luna/Neville
Rating: G
Summary: Plants and fluffiness.
Author's Notes: Unbeta'd.
Luna wore white.
A flowing white dress shimmering magically in the spring sunshine, with long sleeves edged in delicate lace and Flitterbroom tendrils curling around the bodice.
Physalis fruits hung from her ears, the papery husks slightly parted to give the barest glimpse of the orange balls hidden within.
As she walked down the aisle, the flower girls tossed puffapods in her path, an eruption of blossoming flowers carpeting the ground at her feet.
Luna's eyes sparkled and she smiled beatifically at her future husband.
Neville beamed at her and thought that he had never seen anything quite so beautiful.
