Many folks have been posting their Year-End Summaries. Most years I haven't gotten around to it, but this year I figured I'd give it a go!
This year I wrote four fics, all after I got back in August from Diacon Alley. Two were for fests, two were just for the sake of fic. Two H/D, one Snaco, and one Lucius/Draco. That is a shocking lack of Snape, I know, but I am sure there will be more in the future...
THE WAND CHOOSES THE WIZARD -- H/D, NC-17, 11,261 words. Written for the
hd_canon_fest. Four years after the war, Harry Potter has quit the Auror program to hunt down dark wizards on his own, a task for which Draco Malfoy's former wand seems oddly well-suited. A visit to Ollivander's newly re-opened shop to ask why only deepens the mystery Harry is determined to solve. Also archived at:
Ravenna's Quill *
A03FIVE OF SWORDS -- Snape/Draco, PG-13, 3900 words.
Warning: not smutty! I know I feel I have to warn for that since I so rarely write chaste.... Written for the
hp_tarot fest. A few years after the Voldemort war is over, Draco has left England and everyone he knew behind. He's living hard on the streets of New Orleans, making money reading Tarot cards to tourists. A mysterious stranger prompts him, though, to look into his own past... and future.
GIVING BACK -- H/D, NC-17, 3313 words. Warnings: bottom!Harry, mentions of abused!draco from the past (7th year)
Summary: Harry still has Draco's wand. A few years after the war's end, he is determined to give it back and make Draco its rightful owner once again.
MALFOY POST-BELLUM -- Lucius/Draco, NC-17, 3161 words. Consensual incest. After the war, Lucius must return to Azkaban. On his last night before going back to prison, he and Draco share some quality time. A gift for
thepinkrabbit who lamented at the post-DiaconAlley pubmeet that there is not enough Lucius/Draco out there. To which I replied "I should write mote of it." So I did. A classic L/D theme set post-war.
I also ran another round of the
hp_tarot fest, with some fabulous help from the lovely and fabulous
leela_cat and
angelbabe_cj. (In fact, I still need to get out participant and award banners for that.) And I participated in Secret Snape, which was fabulous fun and I'm so glad I did!
( Thinky thoughts about the year in fic and fandom...and next year )
