| FIC: Death, Debts and Denials |
[Mar. 4th, 2008|01:17 pm] |
Title: Death, Debts and Denials
Author: Queen of Castle
Pairing: Snape/Draco
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Dubious consent, underage (Draco is 17), awkwardness, non-linearity.
Summary: "I saved your life. You of all people should know that such generosity is never free."
Word Count: ~4250
Author's Notes: Written for ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) rakina for ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/community.gif) hpvalensmut. This fic is set pre-DH, so it doesn't really take into account the new canon (including all those pesky deaths). The non-linear style of writing was very new to me, so it posed a bit of a challenge.

| Snape's completely selfish, and that's what ultimately makes him the most interesting HP character |
[Feb. 20th, 2008|07:37 pm] |
Upon my first reading of DH, I have to admit that Snape's 'love' for Lily really annoyed me. That wasn't to say that I was surprised by it. It made some degree of sense, and it had been hinted at. It was more that it seemed to tie everything up a little too neatly, and seemed too much like a last ditch effort to humanise Snape so that Harry could forgive him for all that had passed.

| FIC: It Took Some Convincing |
[Sep. 24th, 2007|08:03 pm] |
Title: It Took Some Convincing
Author: Queen of the Castle
Rating: R
Pairing: Harry/Remus, Harry/Severus, implied Harry/Remus/Severus, implied Remus/Tonks
Warnings: Smut, voyeurism, exhibitionism, fleeting mentions of cross-dressing.
Summary: Harry chooses a different path than the one expected of him. Only Sirius seems to really mind.
Word Count: ~4,800
Author's Notes: Written just prior to DH for alisanne for the hp_summersmut fic exchange, so there's no spoilers here. In fact, I figured that since it would already be AU by the time it was posted, I might as well take it a little further in that direction, so there are very few spoilers from any of the most recent books.

| REC: Carrying On (Percy/Snape) |
[Aug. 24th, 2007|01:57 pm] |
Title: Carrying On
Author: Anonymous (written for the percy_ficathon)
Pairing: Percy/Snape
Rating: R
Summary: When Percy looks back on this year, all he will say is "I did what I had to do."
Yes, I was sceptical when I saw the pairing as well. But to be perfectly honest, the pairing is really not the centre of the fic. Furthermore, the snippets of Percy and Snape's interaction that are shown strike me as utterly perfect; here we see two men who are necessarily separated from the rest of the wizarding world finding shared comfort. It's not an overly tender or fluffy fic (though it was, at times, almost heart-wrenching). I think that's what makes it strikingly realistic.
And the characterisation of Percy. Oh, Percy. I've rarely read any version of Percy in fanfic that rings so perfectly true. There was not a moment that I doubted that he would be doing/thinking/feeling/saying exactly what he had in the fic.
The real reason this fic will stay with me, though (apart from, of course, the wonderfully brisk style of writing), is the way each missing scene draws on the details of DH and slots so seemlessly into canon that I have to forcefully remind myself that this is not canon. I really wish it was. After all, don't we all think that DH could have done with more Percy and Snape? |

| FIC: The Loathing in Those Green Eyes |
[Aug. 14th, 2007|10:32 pm] |
Title: The Loathing in Those Green Eyes
Author: Queen of the Castle
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Harry/Lucius
Warnings: Graphic sex scenes, prostitution, mild voyeurism, BDSM
Disclaimer: Does canon in any way resemble this? That's because I don't own these boys.
Summary: Lucius would have expected that defiant spark and that innocence to have faded. It hadn’t, even after almost three years. That was why he kept coming back for more.
Word Count: ~3,400
Author’s Notes: First of two sequels to my fic The Cost of Change. This one is basically a PWP, but the second sequel, once I’ve (eventually) written it, will expand upon the scene set in this fic and have much more plot in with the porn. Set sometime just after Harry’s seventeenth birthday, meaning he’s of age this time (though the original fic has implied chan, so be warned).

| FIC: Where Even Dreamers Should Fear To Tread |
[Aug. 14th, 2007|10:19 pm] |
Title: Where Even Dreamers Should Fear To Tread
Author: Queen of the Castle
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Harry/Snape
Summary: Harry walks himself into a troublesome but unavoidable situation without even knowing it.
Word Count: ~2,700
Author's Notes: Harry's not really the supernice hero that some people might see him as in this fic, so beware. Response to the thematic_hp first round "Forced Marriage or Bonding challenge, Prompt #26: Part of the sacrifice that Harry's mother made to keep him alive had a second component to it, it tries to help him find happiness. After he fulfills the prophecy by defeating Voldemort, Harry finds himself inexplicably drawn to one person (bonus if it is Severus or Draco). This person initially is not interested or wants nothing to do with Harry. He must win them over.

| FIC: Pardon Me? |
[Aug. 14th, 2007|10:16 pm] |
Title: Pardon Me?
Author: Queen of the Castle
Rating: PG-13 (for suggestiveness)
Pairing: Harry/Snape
Summary: One threat to wizarding society breaks free, while another is shackled with new chains.
Word Count: ~1,650
Author's Notes: Response to the thematic_hp first round "Forced Marriage or Bonding" challenge, prompt #6: Post-war. Harry has killed off Voldie, and the ministry is afraid of his power, concerned he's unstable and demands he bond with someone who can control his power or enable him to do so. Harry is very uninterested in the idea and fights it. The Ministry casts a spell because whoever he bonds with must have complementary magic. The complement is Snape who is sitting in Azkaban, for murder. They offer Snape a deal if he will do it, and pretty much force Harry to do it. Bonus if it's Umbridge who finds the complement spell.
