I did a major retreat from fandom in 2019 for real life reasons and just hesitancy about where to go next. It was a shock of reality when I realized three weeks ago that I hadn't written a single fic this year. With a boost of support from Omi I decided to finish the last chapter of Firebond, the Harry/Draco fic that I started in 2012 and walked away from in 2015. It has truly been a weight on me, knowing that it was so close to being finished and not quite managing to do it. So 11,300 words later, Firebond is NO LONGER A WIP and it is a crazy good feeling.

Here is to hoping that 2020 brings inspiration for new stories and fics. I feel I need a new fandom but not sure where to turn to find it.

In a lovely change from the last few months, I've been writing WORDS! Truly excited to be creating again. Last month I wrote two stories - a Harry/Draco pinch-hit for Remix and a Sam/Steve (Avengers) story that I've been wanting to write for ages!

Sea Stones (Harry/Draco)

This is a remix of Persephoneapple's lovely and heartbreaking Secret of the Sea. Be sure to read her original because she tells a wonderful story of recovery from loss.

A03 Link - 2,400 word count - Rating: G - Major character death & Mpreg & Kidfic

When death comes unexpectedly the lives of loved ones are torn apart until the healing slowly begins.

Connections (Sam/Steve)
This is my only second story set in the Avengers fandom. This one, like the previous one (Taps) is set in the Captain America: The Winter Solider timeline. I'm fairly obsessed with a melancholy Steve trying to adapt to a new century. In Connections, Sam reaches out and a friendship begins.

AO3 Link - 9,600 word count - Rating G - References to past Steve/Bucky; Sam/Riley
Sam Wilson’s brief encounter with Steve Rogers on the Capitol Mall leads to an unexpected friendship. Sam hopes that there might be a chance for more, but someone from Steve’s past is standing in the way.

Oh! And Snowgall wrote me a WONDERFUL reimix of a tiny little drabble I did ages ago for a comment fest! I LOVE her story - it matches my style so wonderfully and I can't believe it is only her second story ever!. Go read it! - Bite Your Tongue. If you want to read my original (which I'd completely forgotten about, it is here.)

Friday night I posted a prompt challenge on Tumblr and

firethesound sent me #88. Harry/any pairing and “Don’t panic but I think we might have accidentally gotten married…”
YAY ACCIDENTAL MARRIED TROPE!!!

Instead of a fast fic to get my writing juices flowing it turned into 3600 words of I DON'T KNOW WHAT. It is what it is! Read at your own risk

Pairing: H/C
Warning: A bit AU, in just a very small detail off from canon.

(and I've just realized that I'm not even friends with firethesound on LJ, so I've fixed that, OOPS!)

The other stories I posted are here (Mark/Chris (Martian) and Albus/Scorpius with bonus Harry/Draco)

Title: Death Be Not Proud

Warnings: Melancholy?

Word Count: 740
Summary: Harry's reflections on the Battle of Hogwarts fifty years later.

I wrote this last year in honor of the literary anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts. Title comes from John Donne's Sonnet X

( Death be not proud... )

I've been pretty exclusively shipping HP/DM for a while but I'm ready to expand my universe. Does anyone have any recommendations for HP slash pairing coms? I've been looking and haven't found any active ones...

Current Location: Under a blankie
Current Music: Knife-edge, Emerson Lake & Palmer

I saw this posted on a Facebook page and it made me squee. Well, not really, I'm too old to squee but let's just say my jaw metaphorically dropped. In Goblet of Fire we all had a chuckle when Sybill Trelawney "sees" that Harry's birthday is in mid-winter, when we all knew that it was July 31st (p. 207 U.S. edition). Guess whose birthday is in mid-winter. Tom Riddle's. Rowling was already dropping hints about the Horcruxes, at another point she comments about Harry having a "tortured soul within." Hmmm. could it be the Horcrux she is seeing? How could it not be?

Anyway in honor of Sybill Trelawney I'm posting the one-shot I wrote about her. Like many things that were left hanging at the end of Deathly Hallows I didn't like that she was forever left an alcoholic. Neither did Harry...so once again Harry to the rescue. Don't worry this is not a HP/ST pairing (ick!).
Summary: Sybill Trelawney is forgotten and lost in post-war Hogwarts. Harry sees her wandering the corridors and decides to help.

Time Period: 8th Year

Pairings: Brief mention of HP/GW pairing

Warnings: Alcoholism

Rating: PG

Word Count: 3,100

Harry sat near the bottom of the trapdoor that led to the North Tower. He had his Charms for the Ages textbook out and was keeping his head carefully down as he waited as the first years climbed down the ladder after their classroom was done. The first several students stopped abruptly as they climbed down the ladder.
( Spirits and Divination )

Summary: Draco asks Harry to help him beat the Imperius curse during 4th year. The lessons turn into more than either expected. A story of redemption and forgiveness.
Time Period: 1994-2002 (Goblet of Fire-4 years post DH)
Pairings: Begins and ends with Harry/Draco some HP/GW in the middle.
Warnings: SLASH, HP/DM, Angst with a capital A, EWE, Deaths: Any character who died in the books will die in this story (off stage for the most part). This story loosely follows the major developments in the books (ignoring inconvenient bits that I can't bend where I need them to bend).
Rating: R / Content, language, angst,
Word Count: ~9,500 (320,000 total)

Standard Disclaimer: JKR owns all, I'm just playing with her toys.

( Part One )

Title: Lost and Found

Pairing(s): HP/GW, Unrequited DM for HP

Summary: Harry Potter disappeared eight months earlier. Draco finds him in a Muggle hospital and Hermione wants to know how.

Rating: PG-13

Disclaimer: All Harry Potter characters herein are the property of J.K. Rowling and Bloomsbury/Scholastic. No copyright infringement is intended.

Warning(s): Bonding, Unrequited Love

Epilogue compliant? Yes

Word Count: ~ 6,600

Joining LJ simply to keep track of some of the amazing writers I am finding here. Too hard to bookmark them without being a member.

My writings are posted on FanFiction.net - I may post them here once I figure out how the hell to do it. In the unlikely event anyone reads this and actually wants to read my fics they are here. Probably the best story I have posted is Twist of Fate - a Drarry that starts at the beginning of Goblet of Fire and follows canon up until the end of DH and then goes completely EWE. It is enormously long (300K) and is a couple of chapters from completion.
