Title: Nine Hundred and Twelve
Author: @cannibalschism
Characters/pairing: George Weasley & Percy Weasley, George Weasley & Fred Weasley
Rating: TWord count/length: 5k
Warnings: Grief/loss, canonical character death, acceptance
Summary: After long nights, impossible exams, and years of studying, my application to join the honourable ranks of those Wixen known only as Unspeakables has been accepted.
Dad could not be more proud. Mum bleeding cried at the ceremony. My siblings congratulated me for finally doing something other than grieving Fred. They all said this would be good for me, that this would be a fresh start.
They don’t know I did it all for you.
All for you, Fred.
Chapters: 1
--
Prompt: 19 - George finds a time turner and will do anything to bring Fred back. He’ll have to learn the hard way that what’s passed has passed, and that time is not as malleable as it seems.
Hey Spooks and Spectres! In lieu of a countdown to the release of our prompts on September 15th, we thought we'd rec some spooky fanworks to get your ectoplasm flowing! We asked our early bird participants to rec us their favorite horror works when they signed up, and now we're sharing them with you here!
Burning In Slow Motion @cannibalschism [E | 10.3k]
Summary: It was a miracle. When Voldemort’s spell backfired and he unravelled to little more than floo ash, unmade to nothing, all of those who’d died by his hand were brought back to life. It was a miracle. Or that’s what they said, at least. But they didn’t know. They couldn’t feel it like Harry and Fred and Remus and Tonks. That food turned to poison on their tongues, and no water could sate their unquenchable thirsts. They didn’t know anything. But they’d soon find out.
It's a wrap, folks. The very first HP Bodice Ripper fest has come to a close. If your bodice is still intact, then we didn't do our job. Maybe we'll succeed next year. ;)
Thank you all! All you magnificent creators, wonderful prompters, thoughtful commenters, everyone who's been supportive and enthusiastic about this fest. Join us in celebrating our romantic, swoon worthy and steamy creations.

Still Warm, Still Warm by @ghaniblue / acari
(Harry/Draco, General Audiences, 30min, written by tsauergrass)
The oranges ripened and grew heavy; the branches dipped under their weight. They picked some for breakfast every morning: Harry twisting the fruit off with a snap, Draco carefully tugging each one off.
Harry peeled an orange and handed a wedge to Draco.
Their fingers grazed, and Draco took it. The tender flesh; if he pressed just a little harder with his fingers, it would burst into a juicy mess.
Harry is up to something. Why else would he keep giving Draco presents?
amid this warm and steady sweetness by @roseszain / roseszain
(Harry/Draco, Explicit, 2h, written by warmfoothills)
Harry is not living in a period drama, no matter what his friends or his new house or Malfoy’s sudden affinity for horse-riding might suggest, and if one more person uses the word courting, he’s going to start hexing people.

A second chance at first love.
the pirate and his gentleman by @babooshkart / babooshk_art
(Harry/Draco, General Audiences, Digital Art)
Life as the most feared pirate on the high seas has lost some of its luster for Harry Potter. He's done it all: found buried treasure, escaped the English navy, cut off toes. He's even added a couple of noses to Pansy's Nose Jar. But nonetheless Harry wants something more.
He just wasn't expecting to find it in the form of Draco Malfoy, Gentleman Pirate.
Lay Your Armour Down (The Seduction of a Pirate) by @getawayfox / getawayfox
(Pansy/Ginny, General Audiences, digital art)
Pansy will be the first to tell you that being an heiress is infinitely boring. She lives for thrill and intrigue, and right now her days lack both. So, when there’s whispers in town of a nearby pirate ship threatening their shores, Pansy’s interest piques. She bribes the mansion’s guards to let her slip out unnoticed, tricks the ship’s crew into thinking she was invited—and now she’s here, ready for adventure. She hoped to find new experiences, but did not expect a captain who would take her breath away.

Good Boy by @lqtraintracks / lq_traintracks
(Harry/Draco, Explicit, 15k)
This is a love story between a trans lad and his werewolf boyfriend. It’s about loving someone in their very furry entirety. It’s about being your true self and loving that self. It’s about getting absolutely railed.
Yours Truly by @skeptiquewrites / skeptique
(Harry/Draco, Mature, 15k)
Every single one of Harry’s exes has gone on to marry the next person they date, and with the upcoming nuptials of numbers six and seven to each other, Harry’s feeling exhausted by it all. It doesn’t really matter if he lets people assume Draco Malfoy is his boyfriend for a moment of peace. In any case, Draco’s been away for five years and there’s no way he would find out, right?

Hermione's being shipped off into an unhappy marriage when the most incompetent pirate crew captures her. Featuring: one trigger-happy but sexy pirate, a dysfunctional father-son relationship, a general absence of morals, and the many uses of knives.

(Hermione/Narcissa, Mature, 10k)
After ten years on parole in the Muggle world, newly widowed Narcissa Black is finally allowed to do magic again — as long as she can complete all the spells on the Ministry course list.
Her Ministry of Magic representative? Hermione Granger.
Your Majesty by @cluelesspigeons / Clueless_Pigeons (Harry/Draco, Explicit, 17k)
Draco's bored. Ever since he's become King, he hasn't done anything apart from being stuck in assemblies and meetings. He yearns for a life with adventure and excitement. So, when a group of pirates start raiding the villages of his Kingdom, Draco sees the perfect opportunity to escape his duties as a King for a little while. After all, there isn't much that could go wrong. Right?
The Sun in Summer (Presto Pizzicato) by @cannibalschism / Cannibalschism
(Harry/Draco, Explicit, 90k)
Harry Potter is an orphan. Everyone knows this, him most of all. Taken in by the agoraphobic and ancient Dowager Viscountess Cassiopeia Black, Harry's musical aptitude was evident even from a young age. He has trained all his life to perform in front of a noble audience and step upon the shoulders of giants. To be known for his accomplishment and skill. To be great. And he will do anything to achieve that goal.
Draco Malfoy is an orphan. He hasn't been as such for very long, however. Known as the Instrumenteur, Draco runs a modest shoppe in lower Diagon Alley where he creates and repairs musical instruments. The Viscountess Cassiopeia Black stole everything from him the night of his parents' fatal accident. When Harry Potter, the orphan that wretched woman took in even as she cast out her own blood, proposes the most ludicrous of schemes that might just get Draco his stolen title and life back, who is he to decline?
In a time of galas, secrets, corsets, and symphonies, can love prevail over all else?

Romp and Circumstance by @wolfpants / wolfpants
(Harry/Draco, Explicit, 35k)
Since the war, Harry Potter has gone from Saviour to Scoundrel—not that he’s complaining.
With a schedule full of gorgeous men, alcohol, and late nights, why would he want to change? Enter Draco Malfoy: beautiful, sharp, and completely untouchable. When Draco comes to Harry with a proposition to help him attract an engagement, Harry’s up for it—after all, how hard can it be not falling for his former nemesis?
Very hard, apparently.
coffee & communication: a (slow) romance by @softlystarstruck / softlystarstruck
(Harry/Draco, Explicit, 10k)
Nearly a decade after the war, Draco has made a life for himself in Muggle London, writing romance novels and hanging out with his cat. But when he spills iced coffee all over a gorgeous man who turns out to be Harry Potter, has he tumbled into the start of his own romance without realizing it? And how difficult can it be to talk about desire, anyways? He writes smut for a living.
Surely it can't be that difficult.

The (Third) Worst Year by @the-francakes / thefrancakes
(Harry/Draco, Explicit, 19k)
Draco Malfoy has one year to fall in True Love with Harry Potter or be turned into a Dragon. And he knows that is never gunna happen. This is going to be the worst year of his life.
Well, minus that whole having to kill Dumbledore or be killed by Voldemort thing.
Second worst year.
Oh, but there was his whole 7th year while Voldemort was using his house as a home base for Death Eaters and making him torture his fellow students. That one was pretty bad too.
Fine, this is the third worst year of his life.
The Greatest Game by @sleepstxtic / sleepstxtic
(Harry/Draco, Explicit, 45k)
So what then makes The Greatest Game?
The Greatest Game is something more. The drama, the tension, the narrative that the other games lack. There is a story here. Two rivals with a history spanning years; the oldest, most illustrious prize to be won. Prime pickings for a plotline.
But wait, there’s more. Two lovers with a secret spanning seasons, a secret that is about to be discovered.
What I am trying to say is, The Greatest Game is greatest because it has the greatest story.

This is our second and LAST roundup. We will publish the masterlist of all wonderful works on Wednesday.
Our second week brought you cottagecore softness, sweeping adventure and heartpounding smut. Our amazing creators gave you gifted violinists and gentle werewolves, naughty professors and stabby pirates, magical ecologists and pirates with a heart of gold, beekeepers and, yes, pirates. So many pirates (oh my).
We hope you are as delighted with the wonderful creations as we are. Thank you for all the kudos and comments and screaming in the tags.
Here are all works from week two in reverse posting order: 7 stories, 2 art works and 1 recording.

Regulus Arcturus Black died the night that Vampire sucked away the last drops of his humanity and twisted him into something monstrous. Something soulless and horrid. He changed in so many more ways than just physical. His mind shifted. He could choose not to remember. He could forget how much it hurt.
Sirius brought his mates home for his last Christmas holiday. Orion and Walburga are dead, and the only people living at Grimmauld now are Sirius, Regulus and Kreacher. But James Potter has nightmares, and when Regulus wakes him up, there is something haunted in that boy's eyes like the harvest moon. He smells good. He's so...nice.
And Regulus is so hungry.
Or: the one in which a promise is kept. Where love conquers all, even when it seems impossible.

In a time of galas, secrets, corsets, and symphonies, can love prevail over all else?
I found a lot of motivation and inspiration to write this fic (hence the word count lol). I really really like it, and hope you do too! It’s light and fun and romantic and Draco wears corsets so. You know, there’s that.
Blessed Are the Lambs (Do You Walk With Gabriel?) [E, 50k] Drarry, Vampires, the Vatican
It’s been eight years of this. Eight years since the tug that drew Harry like the tide pulls the earth towards the Camerlengo and Vatican City. Eight years since he’d last felt what it was to think freely and not around the wretched, awful din. Eight years since the bars of his gilded cage had slammed shut around him all while the Camerlengo spun the key on his conniving finger.
But it was today when Draco Malfoy walked into St. Peter’s Basilica, looking so young as though the years had passed him by, and smelling like pennies and dead leaves.

For H/D Fangfest 2022. @hd-fangfest
My submission to H/D Fangfest 2022. I could not be more proud of what I accomplished or more grateful to those who helped me beta and edit it (@thebooktopus). It’s a deeply emotional, angsty, violent yet beautiful exploration into what it means to have, lose, and find new faith. What it means to be a god unto yourself. To fall in love with freedom.
This fic is heavily influenced by my own extremely traumatic experiences with religion and growing up in a Pentecostal cult. It does not paint religion in a fond light, so if you are sensitive to that, please be aware.
Ultimately, this is a love story. Between Harry and Draco, between Harry and himself, between both and being alive.

Summary: It started with the Mark. Whispers, a burning desire, a demon in his dreams.
It started with the Mark, but it is so much more now. He's the air he breathes, the blood in his veins. He's everything.
It started with the Mark, but it has to end. Draco cannot keep living like this.
The demon, Voldemort, changed Draco the moment the Mark slithered across his skin, burning itself into him like a brand on his soul. He sparked a need in Draco that only he could fulfill. A wish only he could grant.
This is the story of the demon who lurks on the fringes of sleep, and the boy who fell in love with a monster.
►Five years after the war, Harry Potter has quietly stepped back from his Auror career in a fumbling attempt to figure out what he wants to do with his life. What he DOESN’T want to do is help a raggedy-yet-still-smarmy Draco Malfoy out of an allegedly life-threatening jam, but he’s already found his address, so there’s nothing else for it but to flex those Saving People muscles yet again.

2. Draco’s First Holiday by Anonymous [E, 26k]
►Draco catches Blaise cheating, breaks up with him and decides to leave his French Villa behind to swap houses with a woman named Hermione and her husband Ron. His relaxing vacation becomes far more interesting when a handsome stranger (Harry) knocks at his door in the middle of the night. They meet and get to know each other, and suddenly Draco feels much better about his decision to leave France behind for Britain.

Summary: Fratricide is a mark on the soul, a drowning, suffocating weight. The gods have punished him in their cruel way, molding him into a powerful creature who brings glory to Rome and devastation to their enemies. The only thing he cannot kill is himself.

Summary:
Prompt: There's something exhilarating about catching the Snitch and stealing victory away from the Gryffindors. There's something even better about being cornered by Potter in the change rooms after.
Or: the one in which Regulus gets hurt and James makes him feel better. And better. And better.
