Bit late on the claiming, but here goes anyhow.

Title: There Is Always The Moon
Pairings: Harry/Draco, various background canon pairings
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: blood and mild gore, mild body horror. Um, an extremely slow build?
Word Count: 159K
Summary: Draco's life after the war is everything he wanted it to be: it's simple, and quiet, and predictable, and safe. But when a mysterious curse shatters the peace he'd worked so hard to build, there's only one person he can trust to help him. After all, Harry Potter has saved his life before. Now Draco has to believe that Potter will be able to do it one more time. (A remix of If the Sun Goes Black by [livejournal.com profile] pasdexcuses)
Disclaimer: All Harry Potter characters belong to JK Rowling; the plot and some of the dialogue in the final chapter of this story come from If the Sun Goes Black.

(Note: This is very much intended to be read as a companion to If the Sun Goes Black. The ending especially relies very heavily on the assumption that the reader is familiar with events established in the original.)


So, hey. This one's mine! It turned out very different (and a whole lot longer) than I expected it to, but sometimes the story goes in the direction it needs to. I'm quite proud of how it turned out, actually.


On writing it... )

So, reveals are up and this one's mine!

Title: Pieces Left Incomplete
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco
Rating: PG-13
Warnings/Content: (Highlight to view) *I suppose I should warn for MCD although he’s not really dead and everything’s resolved quite nicely in And the Clock Keeps Ticking, but that’s not addressed here.*
Summary: It’s always too quiet these days, at least until he shows up. A remix of [livejournal.com profile] nherizu’s story And the Clock Keeps Ticking.
Word Count/Art Medium: 2k
Disclaimer: HP characters and world belong to JKR, no copyright infringement is intended. The specific scenario for this story is inspired by the events in And the Clock Keeps Ticking.
Author's/Artist's Notes: Title comes from a line in the song “Cathedrals” by Jump, Little Children. Many thanks to S and Other S for the beta and encouragement


I had a hard time picking which of Nherizu's stories to play with, but I ended up picking this one because A) it was her preferred fic for remixing, and B) I got really hung up on the idea of Draco alone in the Manor for months on end thinking that he's dead, and it was a lot of fun to play around with that. I was sort of aiming for 'Victorian ghost story from the ghost's POV' when I was writing, and I'm pleased with how it came out though it's very different than what I normally do nowadays: no sex, no swearing, no dialogue, much heavier on descriptions, and only 2k.

It was a lot more of a challenge than I thought it'd be to remix someone else's fic, but I'm really glad I signed up this year because it was a really great experience. <3
