"Imagine a world where Pansy Parkinson changed the outcome of the war."

Footsteps on Fallen Snow by catsintheattic  (rated R)

In most Victorious Voldemort fics I've read, the Malfoys are exalted and Draco becomes a prime Death Eater.  (Yes, I've read my share of Draco/prisoner!Ginny fics.)  Cats takes a different tack and shows Draco suffering both political and ( Read more... )

As the bosun of the HMS Horticulture, I thought I'd list some of my favourite Neville/Pansy stories as a resource for anyone out there in cyberspace who's thinking of joining the crew.   It's a lovely little sloop, really it is!  Will eventually post this to frillypinkrobes  as a resource once I decide it's useful.

I spent the afternoon hand-tagging Absolution for submission to dracoandginny.com!  That site was my first taste of Harry Potter fandom and I've always held it in the highest esteem - so high that I  can't believe that my writing would be accepted there.  I received what amounted to an engraved invitation to submit a few months ago, and since then ( Read more... )

I've been reading a lot of metafandom  in the last day or so.  Lots of interesting stuff in there, but a couple of things in particular caught my attention.

"She should never have agreed to him joining them on holiday."

Last Century's Star by humbuggirl

I cannot recommend this small (1500-word) canon-compliant fic highly enough.  Everyone should read it, and carefully, because the real story is a refraction of the prose and told entirely through subtext and throwaway comments.  It captures the ennui and ( Read more... )

"She would drown her sorrows in cheap Firewhiskey and thunderstorms... When Harry goes away, Ginny is left behind."

I Stared Into Oblivion And Found You by maia 22

This story of Draco and Ginny during DH continues to pick up steam as you read, delving deeper and deeper as the story evolves.  I liked seeing Ginny dealing with the stress and ( Read more... )

Christmas fic is here!  This year features Neville and Pansy again.

Bearing Gifts -  Neville's in over his head shopping for his girlfriend's Christmas present.

Fics from previous years:
All Is Bright (Malfoys)
Holly Jolly (Neville/Pansy)
Comfort and Joy (Draco, Lucius, Pansy, Ginny)

"The great battle has been fought and won. The Wizarding world was supposed to heal. But an ancient truth pits Hermione against Muggles and Wizards alike. Her only choice now is who to betray. DH compliant. DM/HG, RW/HG. Not a traditional romance"

"All Ginny wants is to get the upper hand just once with drool-worthy hunk of man candy and callous playboy Draco Malfoy before he moves on to his next careless conquest. So how did this simple plan lead to time travel, nefarious plots involving the most infamous whorehouse in the wizarding world, and the teenaged Draco’s achingly sweet, ( Read more... )
