My other fic for

hp_kinkfest is up!

     A Child That Knows Poems By Heart (R, Narcissa/Astoria) - LJ - AO3
     Summary: They all say Scorpius looks like his father. They are wrong.
     Content notes: Infidelity, age difference (50s/20s), mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationship.

I promised myself that if this prompt (Narcissa has some way to get her female lover pregnant) was still available after I finished my first fic, I'd take it. It was, and I did. The prompter seems to have deleted their LJ sometime between their leaving the prompt and my posting the fic, so that's a bit of a bummer, but maybe they'll come back and see it.

Anyway! For a long time I've been guilty of complaining that nobody writes Fpreg, while not lifting a finger to change that, but now I can say I've done my part. A lot of things about it were a stretch for me, but I'm pretty satisfied with how it came out. It might be one of the happiest things I've ever written. Huh.

Ideas for

hp_beholder are still brewing. I matched my recipient on a character I definitely want to write but didn't expect to get, so I'm contemplating how I want to approach it. It's for sure going to involve re-reading the last book, which... will be a first. When it came out I found it pretty underwhelming, and then I wasn't writing in the fandom for a good while, so I had no reason to read it again. It'll be interesting to see if I feel any differently about it with some distance.
