she said loftily

Reparo	published June 2008
Summary: Voldemort's final defeat does not mean Harry Potter's troubles are over; far from it. In the aftermath of war, he returns to a Hogwarts that is fractured and divided, but this is no break that can be fixed with a spell. New owls, fading scars, surprising alliances--and along the way, the hardest task of all, to live with it. Written for the third Big Bang, Baby challenge. Harry/Draco. Rated NC-17. Quote: Life went on, unbelievably. Everyone and everything sank back into disagreements and incantations, self-darning socks and new owls, old girlfriends. It was hard to believe from this side of the war, but he had thought it would be different.

Inexpert and Unexpected Things	published July 2007
Summary: This isn't the end of things, it's only the beginning. Written for Reena's 15 Ways For Harry Potter To Hug Draco Malfoy And Live To Tell About It Challenge, only I read it the other way around. So consider this 15 Ways For Draco Malfoy To Hug Harry Potter, only there aren't fifteen. Harry, Draco. Written pre-DH. Rated PG-13. Quote: 'Home,' Malfoy echoes drowsily, something in his voice. It might be resentment, agreement, resignation. Harry can't tell.

Protecting Your Home and Family Against Dark Forces	published June 2007
Summary: Pansy Parkinson's sixth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Pansy/Draco. Written pre-DH. Rated PG. Quote: That night, she stops dreaming about Inferi. She starts dreaming about Draco. Dying.

Transformation	published July 2005
Summary: In Harry's sixth year at Hogwarts, he must face the consequences of the attack on the Department of Mysteries and the effects of Voldemort's return. And in doing so, he finds that even your enemies can teach you valuable lessons--about the world, and about yourself. Harry/Tonks, Harry/Draco. Written pre-HBP. Rated NC-17. Quote: "Wait until I'm on my deathbed, Potter, and then you'll be sorry," Draco said, still looking put off, but he sat down anyway. Weak sunlight filtered into the room and washed over them, making Draco look even paler as he sat there, carefully picking out his pieces. His forehead was creased in concentration, and Harry watched him, watched his nimble fingers and the way he frowned and the shift of the shadows around his neck as his shirt collar peeked open. And for a moment, nothing else, none of it, mattered.

Some Day in June	published June 2005
Summary: Draco-centric genfic, written in celebration of Draco's birthday. Based on the (now wrong!) assumption that Lucius was arrested on Draco's birthday. In which 5 June is the exact opposite of what Draco expects, and he is older than he thought he would be. Written pre-HBP. Rated PG. Quote: Some birthday, Draco thought, poking at his breakfast with little appetite. He'd complain to his father, of course. Perhaps then Lucius would teach him the Dark spells he'd been promising for at least three years. Or, better yet, perhaps his gift was something that could not be sent by owl. Perhaps he was giving Draco a house, or a Quidditch team, or a dragon. Draco hoped it was the Quidditch team.

I Grieve For You	published October 2004
Summary: Remus plus the House of Black minus Sirius plus memories. Remus/Sirius. Written pre-HBP. Rated PG-13. Quote: This is what it's like to live alone. You wake up in an empty bed, sheets cool around your legs, and you let go of the pillow tucked comfortably between head and shoulder--guiltily, as if someone is about to walk in and admonish you for pretending. You stretch, pad to the kitchen for a drink to wash his name from your lips, wince at the morning light. You fix yourself a cup of tea and let it get cold as you watch the hours tiptoe by. You think of him.

The World As We Know It	published September 2004
Summary: "'till human voices wake us, and we drown." When the war is everywhere, does its target matter? Cities burning, falling in love, some things ending and some things moving on. For Theo Fabula. Viktor/Remus. Written pre-HBP. Rated PG-13. Quote: Viktor stands by the rail, later, and watches her hair blow in the breeze. Her-my-oh-knee, he thinks, and later will remember just this: the figure of a girl outlined against the clouds, robes flapping, hair in her face, waving goodbye.

And I Get By	published August 2004
Summary: What it means to survive. Harry/Ron/Hermione, Harry/Ron. Written pre-HBP. Rated R. Quote: Ron thinks of battlefield scars, tattered flags and the dreams he has now, spells flashing everywhere and the acrid smell of too much magic intersecting, the dreams he wakes up from with sweat in his eyes, sweat or maybe tears. Before he can speak, Ernie MacMillan says rather loudly, "Well, to the future, then!" and raises his glass, and Remus is too busy toasting him and Harry too busy hating him for Ron to be heard.

You Had Time	published March 2004
Summary: In which nothing turns out as expected. One afternoon, and they will never be this close again. Warnings for incest. Padma/Parvati, Padma/Harry, Parvati/Blaise. Written pre-HBP. Rated R. Quote: Once, at school, she had kissed Parvati, but it was all wrong: lipstick and Parvati's breathy surprise, two sisters who had spent thirteen years trying to find a way to fit together. This time it is different; they are no longer girls who are scared of English fog, who defend themselves with books or with bracelets, each pretending too hard to be grown up. Parvati tastes sweet, golden, full of things Padma has forgotten she should recognize.

The Space Between	published February 2004
Summary: Post-war, death sentences, and a pensieve. Memories change everything and forgiveness changes nothing. For Selene_Rain. Harry/Draco. Written pre-HBP. Rated PG-13. Quote: "Obliviate," Draco whispers, and Harry breaks.

Static	published December 2003
Summary: Only silence reigns here; just take it one day at a time. For Bing. Draco. Written pre-HBP. Rated PG. Quote: But then the war comes, like a tide, and the first night, there is green light from dusk until dawn. Under siege, he thinks, then laughs at himself for thinking ridiculous thoughts. No one can attack Malfoy Manor. In a day or so, maybe less, Bellatrix will come to sneer at him and tell him they have won. "Our Lord is waiting," she will say, wild eyes glinting at him, and he'll wonder where Potter is, if Potter is dead.

Things Behind the Sun	published fall 2003
Summary: Happy endings are so passe. In six months, Pansy grows up in more ways than she expects and discovers something better--or more dangerous--than love. For Susan. Pansy/Draco, Pansy/Bellatrix. Written pre-HBP. Rated PG-13. Quote: Sixteen does mean something in Slytherin, but not to Pansy. At the age of sixteen and a half, she won't be brought before the Dark Lord, the way Draco will be in five short months. Too weak, her father had proclaimed her, to be good for much. No, the Mark is not for Pansy. She wonders if she should be glad.

Before Your Eyes	published summer 2003
Summary: What if this is all there is? For Niche. Bill/Charlie. Written pre-HBP. Rated PG-13. Quote: It's a good month. Charlie doesn't forgive time when it moves on, but he forgives Bill, because that's what he always does.

The Last July	published July 2003
Summary: Homecoming is a long time, well, coming. For Holographis. Percy. Written pre-HBP. Rated PG. Quote: It was so long ago, and Percy knew now that that had been the last: no more summer evenings when Mum would sew by the window and screech every so often that the boys had better not come anywhere near the house with that Quaffle, no more watching Dad fiddle with the remains of a Muggle radio, his investigations punctuated by exclamations of "Fascinating!" No more reading in the quietude up on the sloping roof while Ginny ran about barefoot in too-small sundresses below and ignored Mum's lectures on ladylike behavior, no more watermelon on the steps in the twilight. It was too late for that, Percy thought. It hadn't seemed so long ago until now.

Tied Up Between The Lines	published July 2003
Summary: My own private mourning party after OotP. Written pre-HBP. Rated PG. Quote: Your name is Sirius Black.

Still Life	published June 2003
Summary: What is the Wizarding World's fascination with immortality? If you have a portrait hanging in the Ministry of Magic, can you ever really die? Harry/Draco. Written pre-OotP. Rated PG-13. Quote: Harry ignores him and sidles out of his portrait. When you're dead and one-dimensional, Harry has found, it is easier to walk away from things. Even if you're walking sideways.

Call Me Not Oedipus	published spring 2003
Summary: Meet the parents, Malfoy style. And Little Red Riding Hood. My, what big-- Harry/Draco. Written pre-OotP. Rated PG-13.

Sea Dreams	published fall 2002
Summary: Salt air is good for the soul: Tom Riddle, childhood, and the ocean. Written pre-OotP. Rated PG-13. Quote: That is my last sacrifice to you, Tom thinks, and inclines his head to the waves that buffet his body. All the rest are for me.

Absence	published July 2002
Summary: Draco haunts Harry with silence and unspoken words. This is one of the first fics I ever wrote. Even though we all know that ghosts are visible to others, pretend they're, uh, not. Harry/Draco. Written pre-OotP. Rated PG-13. Quote: You don't notice me, but I watch you. You don't see me, because you never saw me. You never heard me. You never looked up when I offered you my hand the first time I saw you, and you haven't turned back since. The hardest thing about being dead is you.

Armed with Every Precious Failure	published March 2006
Summary: Hanson fic. You can get so happy and you can be so sad. Warnings for incest. Zac/Taylor. Rated PG-13 to R. Quote: And Taylor said, "Yeah?" and pulled him back inside the dark building and his mouth was soft, he tasted a little like oranges and his hair smelled like smoke. This time his palm was hot on Zac's hip and Zac flushed when Taylor's knee bumped his, but the lights were out, and nobody could see them, Tay couldn't see him, they were just shapes in the dark.

Like Smoke	published April 2005
Summary: Dead Poets Society fic. Things unspoken and premature goodbyes. For Niche. Charlie/Neil, Neil/Todd. Rated PG-13. Quote: "Charlie," Neil says, after a moment, as if he's realized something soft and dangerous, but Charlie's already halfway down the hall, and not for the world is he going to turn back.

And All These Lonely Nights	published February 2005
Summary: Hanson fic. Warnings for incest. Zac/Taylor. Rated PG-13. Quote: It's the first day of March, the sky taut and full of blue, trees still bare and weather just this side of savage. He shrugs his jacket on as he jogs down the steps, hums the first bar of the chorus from "If Only" without thinking, watches the light change from red to green. It's warm for March, with just a touch of a Tulsa breeze, some sad warm day of firsts. Zac sticks his hands in his pockets and thinks about new songs.

Give and Take	published May 2004
Summary: One Tree Hill fic, S1. Brooke/Peyton. Rated PG-13. Quote: It's no kind of fairy tale, but she has this sketch of Brooke tucked inside her favorite record, this rough picture of Brooke with her hair in her face and one hand on the steering wheel and she's laughing, head tipped back, and Peyton thinks, maybe that's enough.

Lightning Days	published April 2004
Summary: One Tree Hill fic. Last good-byes. Warnings for incest. Lucas/Nathan. Written pre-last episode of S1. Rated PG-13. Quote: They drive in silence most of the way to Nathan's apartment, mist rising from the road, the rain drumming tattoos on the roof. Nathan leans back in the seat, wringing his shirt out on the carpet, a crime for which Lucas throws his own wet shirt at him. They pass Haley on the road, but she doesn't look at them, and Nathan says nothing at all.
