The Year of the Fests
Last year (2019), I launched fully into the Damione ship and embarked on a personal 10-fest challenge. I scraped by at exactly 10 fests and 2 drabbles. Yesss. And now for a year of no fests. (Does it count if I committed to one due in 2020 before the year ended?)
10. KyoDreams In Another Life Fest: The Making of Draco Malfoy
Meet the Honourable Mr. Draco Malfoy, rich, entitled, and bored, and the adventures that just might turn him into a reluctant hero. Regency England AU featuring the Napoleonic Wars.
*Runner-Up for Best Fluff in Granger Enchanted Awards*
9. Salt and Pepper Fest 2019: Hot in the Himalayas
Revenge is a dish best served cold. In the icy reaches of the Himalayas, years after their ill-conceived affair, Hermione plots out the steps to her revenge with a few old friends. It just so happens that things don’t turn out exactly the way she plans, not when tempers are running so hot.
8. DFW's Nikita Gill/Never Apologising For Our Wild Challenge: Coiled, Falling
She's locked in a tower when he finds her, bewitched and imprisoned. Dark Rapunzel retelling.
7. Riddikulus Fest: Boys Over Magic, or Hermione and the S4
The War's over, but not at Hogwarts. Meet the S4, and the Muggleborn witch who's determined to go up against their leader. Dramione inspired by Boys Over Flowers.
6. DFW’s First GOGO Fest: Tempo
Draco's good deed is punished. How bloody typical.
On the verge of a suitable marriage, a chance meeting with a mysterious time witch gives Draco a chance to review his options.
5. TheMourningMadam’s Once Upon a Time Fairy Tale Fest: How to Date an Idiotic Pureblood Wizard
Hermione just knows Draco's up to something in the Ministry-mandated Muggle Awareness Class. She's not going to let him, not if it's going to interfere with her plans to take over the world, starting with one Pureblood at a time. Crackfic tribute to My Immortal.
4. HP Drizzle Fest: Where the Light Breaks
The War was over, and things should have been better—but they weren't. Or maybe they could be. Repeated encounters with an old classmate puts old wounds into perspective.
3. Dramione Remix Round 10: Spinning the Stars
Because of course Hermione Granger would find a way to stopper time if she set her mind to it.
What happens if you manage to solve the mystery of immortality? It's not as wonderful as it sounds when you return to find that the world has continued spinning without you in it, and that everything is changed forever...
*Winner of Reader’s Choice Award*
2. DFW Trope Fest: Pinned
Draco doesn't know what he's expecting when he follows Blaise down a dark alley, but it certainly isn't this. For a man with an addictive personality, this isn't going to turn out well. Assigned trope: Voyeurism. Heed the trigger warnings. WIP.
1. Twistmas - A Dark Xmas Fest: Mirror, Mirror
1999. Eighth year. Something's different about Draco Malfoy. He's kind and courteous, and he even smiles. Ginny is convinced something's wrong with him, but Hermione would rather believe the best of him. He's changed for the better, right? Or perhaps it's something a bit more sinister…
AND two Fairest of the Rare RarePair Drabbles:
Urban Legend
It's just an urban legend about Muggleborn witches, isn't it? Cormac really, really wants to know. Cormac x Hermione. Word count: 500.
Girl of Sun and Summer
There's tragedy at the Dragon Reserve this winter, and Charlie would prefer not to have any visitors, especially not his beloved, meddling younger sister and her tendency to set him up with her friends. Charlie Weasley x Luna Lovegood. Word count: 800.
Now for an entire month of sleeping and slacking off...
