Two more rough scenes from Becoming Brothers. These two would come just before the set posted last time.

December 31

“Yorkshire Pudding.”

“Yeah.”

“Where did you get Yorkshire Pudding?”

“I made it.”

“Why?”

Harry set the hot muffin tray on the stovetop, pushing the oven door shut with a wandless nudge. “To eat. Come get it before they go cold.”

Arg. The reason Becoming Brothers hasn’t gotten anything even resembling an update for quite some time is that every time I do manage to convince myself to work on it, I keep getting little snippets like the ones below. Not even entire scenes, just incomplete bits of conversation and the like (these are some of the most complete). And I’m starting ( Read more... )

Mom ended up in the emergency room this weekend and is supposed to be home tomorrow. Between helping Dad keep the house running, spending time at the hospital with her, and moving back in, I haven't really been up for personal writing. (Haven't forgotten! Honest!) Hopefully we’ll be back on track here soon.

This is another request response, for

A (possible) future scene for Becoming Brothers, in response to a request for Harry to reopen the manor at some point in the story. Takes place some time during or just before Tom’s seventh year at Hogwarts.

Warning: Slight spoilers for Becoming Brothers, but most of you have probably guessed it would happen anyway.
PG for mild language.

Another part to the Lynx fic.

Diary

All the elements were ready. Tom checked everything one last time, nudging the diary a
little to make sure it was square, and picked up his wand. Closing his eyes a moment to
center himself, he took a deep breathe, let it out, and focused. The first set of
incantations rising in his mind, he opened his mouth-

Should probably come up with a title for this sometime soon. Oh, and now might be a good time to mention that these aren’t going to be going up in chronological order. Shouldn’t matter to how they’re read, though.

Just in case it doesn't come up, Tom’s a fifth year in this story. (If I’m remembering right, he found out about the Chamber of Secrets ( Read more... )

First part of a short ficlet involving Tom Riddle, Harry Potter, and unashamed fun with time travel and animagus forms. Started this over a year ago, am re-writing it in bits and pieces when I don’t feel like working on anything else. Not related to my other Harry Potter fanfics in any way.

Mild warnings for Tom Riddle’s insanity and gratuitous ( Read more... )

*pokes fic* It twitches. *scratches head* Well, that’s better than nothing, I suppose. Here’s the entirely of chapter 3, which is also up on ff.net. Again, there will probably be more snippets of the next chapter up here before the entire chapter appears on ff.

Chapter 3: In Which Stories are Straightened

Here’s the start of the next chapter to Becoming Brothers:

Chapter Three Snippet

Tom slipped into the restricted section for the fifth time in the last two weeks. The main part of the library held plenty of surface information on the founders, but nothing of much interest to him. The records of Salazar Slytherin in those books were limited at best ( Read more... )

This is getting convoluted even in my mind, so here's a quick timeline on what's happened in the Potter family in the universe of TMRP and Becoming Brothers, as well as how Harry supposedly fits into it.

At about 1850, the Potters are a family of four: two parents, a daughter and a son. The son disappears around 1860 (about 80 years before the ( Read more... )
