End-of-year fic roundup

[pauraque_bk]

It's 15 days too late for this, which is just about how behind I am on everything else at this point, so at least I'm consistent? /o\

I wrote a lot of fic this past year, mostly for fests. Well... all for fests, actually, or at least for things with deadlines. Not coincidental, that. Towards the end of the year I bit off more than I could chew and did have to drop out of one fest, which was a first for me, and a bummer. Next year, more realistic scheduling! But according to AO3, I wrote about 30,000 words in 2013, which is a bit more than in any past year, including years in which my fandoms were much more active.


Harry Potter

The Secret Incantation (NC-17, Hermione/Sirius) [hp_kinkfest]
This is what she wants. This is what he needs.

A Child That Knows Poems By Heart (R, Narcissa/Astoria) [hp_kinkfest]
They all say Scorpius looks like his father. They are wrong.

Triptych on the Sword of Ragnuk (R, Flitwick/Griphook) [hp_beholder]
The beauty of a man may bring pleasure for an hour, but the beauty of a blade is eternal.

Lesson One (NC-17, Hermione/Molly) [femslash_kink]
After the wedding reception, the adrenaline that still pumps through Hermione's veins has made sleep an impossibility, and that is how she finds herself on the big comfy sofa in the Burrow at one o'clock in the morning, she and her brand new mother-in-law sitting in their nightgowns and talking about sex.

Masquerade (NC-17, Astoria/Draco/Pansy) [hp_silencio]
Pansy knows what Astoria can't let anyone find out, and now she's got Astoria — and Draco — right where she wants them.

Particularly Happy (NC-17, Harry/Ginny) [daily_deviant]
Harry and Ginny revisit an old haunt and rewrite history.

The Maiden and the Crone (G, Rose/Minerva) [hp_halloween]
Minerva has retired from Hogwarts, but not from teaching magic.

All Roads Lead To (PG, Cho/Luna) [femslashex]
After leaving Hogwarts, Cho isn't sure if there's a place for her anymore in the fight against Voldemort. Luna comes to convince her that there is.

Pomona Sprout and the Five Points from Hufflepuff (NC-17, Minerva/Pomona) [Kinky Kristmas @ daily_deviant]
Pomona loves Minerva with an unreasonable and embarrassing passion, but the silly Head Girl does have a way of driving her mad. Especially when she takes points off Hufflepuff.

Star Trek

The Thrill of the Hunt (G, Tasha & Worf) [rarewomen]
Tasha's spent a lot of her life running.

Such enormity moving with such grace (G, Gillian Taylor) [rarewomen]
On land, Gillian is drowning. It is only underwater that she can breathe.

Opening (NC-17, Tasha/Deanna) [femslashex]
Tasha can read Deanna's body as well as Deanna can read her heart.

Warcraft

Deep Breath (PG, Onyxia & Lilian Voss) [rarewomen]
The sounds of spell and sword no longer ring out in the halls of Blackwing Descent, but not all within are dead.

Prick and a Haircut (PG, Bebri Coifcurl/OFC) [kink_bingo]
They say elves are vain, but that's not why Zindra keeps coming back to the Orgrimmar barber shop.


I'm going to be bold and say that most of these were solid stories that I'm proud of. It was flattering and encouraging this year to be invited to write at daily_deviant and to win/place in a couple of categories at hpfanficfanpoll. I hope this doesn't sound stupid or vain, but what I really want out of writing is to give other people enjoyment, and when I meet that goal it makes me happy.

Onward!
