| FIC: The Many Occupations of Percy Weasley |
[Jul. 26th, 2008|08:14 pm] |
Hey all! I'm back from Europe and (semi)recovered from the massive case of jetlag that unfortunately followed my otherwise brilliant trip. I returned to find that the reveals for the percy_ficathon had already gone up while I was away. The following fic was my contribution to that fic exchange. Enjoy!
Title: The Many Occupations of Percy Weasley (and How Neville Longbottom Suffered Through Every Single One) Author: Queen of the Castle Rating: R Pairing: Neville/Percy Word Count: ~35,400 Warnings: Sexual references Summary: From rampant speculation about his sexuality to emergency inter-continental travel in a wetsuit, Neville Longbottom has been through a lot since leaving Hogwarts. Percy Weasley has just happened to be there for most of it, much to Neville's dismay. Author's Notes: Gift for cat_goddess for the 2008 percy_ficathon.

| REC: An Exercise in Holding Hands |
[Feb. 16th, 2008|02:19 pm] |
TITLE: An Exercise in Holding Hands AUTHOR: ? ETA: noticeably RATING: R (contains dark themes/mild horror) PAIRING: Harry/Neville WORD COUNT: 4,300 SUMMARY: There's a weight on your shoulders, heavy and unrelenting, bearing down upon you until you gasp and collapse and can't breathe. Moving on is easy. Except when it isn't.
MY THOUGHTS: You might call me a little biased, because this fic was written for me for the hpvalensmut 2008 exchange. However, even if this hadn't been written specifically to suit my kinks, I would really have enjoyed the premise alone.
The fic is fairly short and is written in 2nd-person POV, but don't let that put you off. I don't generally like that style of writing myself, but here it was used so well that I honestly can't imagine wanting the fic to be written any other way. The style and pace are wonderful; it's simple and there's a perfect contrast between the angsty, the sweet and the disturbing moments.
As for the content itself, if you've ever wished there was a Harry/Neville post-war fic out there that was neither pure fluff nor incredibly dark and non-con, this is the fic for you. Harry and Neville are both jaded war veterans whose relationship is angsty and awkward and just a little bit angry. If you ignore the epilogue (as most of us do), this is the sort of situation that I could really buy as a follow-up to DH. |

| FIC: The First Time (Basically) |
[Aug. 14th, 2007|10:49 pm] |
Title: The First Time (Basically) Author: Queen of the Castle Rating: NC-17 (barely) Pairing: Remus/Neville Warnings: Smut (and it's not all that graphic, really). That's it. Word count: 811 Summary: It had been 'look but don't touch' between them for far too long, and the eventual breaking of that barrier was more than welcome. Author's Notes: Written for the pervy_werewolf Lusty Month of May Marathon 2007.
