Title: In the Interest of Interhouse Cooperation
Summary: Organizing a Duelling Club was supposed to be a fun extracurricular activity for Harry’s 8th year. But add in Draco Malfoy and a malfunctioning Room of Requirement, and things can’t help but get complicated.
Rating: NC-17
Warning(s): A slight bit of dominance during sex, and maybe a teensy bit of dub-con.

This is the fic that nearly wasn't. I was still struggling through Stop All the Clocks when I claimed this prompt, but thought it'd be a few thousand words of smut and humor for someone I felt fairly comfortable writing for, and having a deadline on it would be a good way to force my brain to switch gears after writing so much angst. This'll be easy, I thought.

(I should really stop thinking that.)

This actually took about twice as long to write as Clocks did, frighteningly enough. But once I got into it, I really had fun. It ended up much longer than I thought it'd be, mostly due to the fact that I didn't have an ending so I just kept adding to the middle until one came to me, which involved a lot of stalking Birds to get ideas for more things to add that she might like, which I really enjoyed doing. (Possibly more than I should have, but stalking = love, right?) And I'm very pleased with how it turned out.

Thanks so much to everyone who read and commented and recced. I really appreciated all of your very kind words. <3

I didn't follow the fest (in fact, I only got back into Harry/Draco a few days ago), so I'm glad that you shared the link on your livejournal.
The summary sounds really promising, so I'll treat myself to this story tonight once all the important tasks are done :)

Every time I see this mentioned anywhere I think of Draco declaring "This castle is a pervert!" and dissolve into giggles. At the moment, actual, literal giggles. ♥ this fic and very glad it came into being!

I loved this one! As much as I'm curious about your EPIC ANGSTFIC, I can't read it. Angst squashes my writing gene into a flat, sodden pile of "I'm just gonna sit here and rock in misery and never write again ever" and I can't go there right now. MUST BE PRODUCTIVE. :(

THIS FIC!! I would have been excited just that someone wrote to my prompt. I would have been super-chuffed just to get a fic written by YOU. But to get a fic written by you, to my prompt, full of stalky wonderfulness and in-jokes - OH! you are spoiling me rotten.

I really want to know WHICH bits specifically resulted from stalking and which you just threw in for fun, and WHERE and WHEN I was stalked, you big sneaker.

Omfg, I loved this fic so much. You are a genius. I mean I still can't stop crying when I think of the fic that must not be named, and then you go and make me laugh like a loon in this - that bit where Draco says about the castle being a malfunctioning pervert is just hysterical. And apparently I can't get enough of Ron walking in on Harry and Draco gettin' on down. Omg, I need to read All Our Secrets Laid Bare again. You are brilliant :D

Yep *nods*

Nope, it's not too close at all. It's just never going to stop being funny to have Ron being scarred for life... or until Harry can hit him with an Obliviate XD

You're such a darling. I thought I just loved it because I love everything you write anyway. I had no idea you had been so sneaky-delightful.

THERE WILL BE A NEXT TIME OH YES THERE WILL

\o/ \o/ \o/

And I am sorry you were panicky and sleep-deprived. I hope things are better now.

It SPROINGED my ego. I was like "MY FIC IS NOW BEING REFERENCED AS AN IN-JOKE, IN OTHER FICS"

XDD

Yes, wasn't it. [livejournal.com profile] who_la_hoop dared me to do it! and she thought of toothbrush Snape, too.

Ok, I have a question. How do you get your LJ so that there is the html shortcuts above the comment box?
