quotations
Abandon the search for truth. Settle for a good fantasy.
-Anonymous, and why I write and read

There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all.
-Oscar Wilde, and why I read what I read

All happy families resemble each other, each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
-Leo Tolstoy, and why I write what I write

It is impossible to enjoy idling thoroughly unless one has plenty of work to do.
-Jerome K. Jerome, and why I love the fandom as much as I do

black
The light by your bed burns brightly, and in the silence of the room you flip the page of a book, but the black ink bleeds into the paper and the lines blur into meaningless jumble.

You stop to rub your temples and you fetch another cup of tea.

You sip, and the aroma nudges your senses awake, so you resume waiting for him to come home, with alcohol in his breath and the marks of other men on his skin. You open the book.

Nothing still makes sense.

It is late, and you are as blind as the night.

Title: Pansy's Presents
Pairing: Draco/Ron
Rating: PG
Word Count: 101
Summary: Pansy comes around to show her approval of Draco's new beau.
Additional Notes: Written as a pinch-hit for [info]hp_kris_kringle in Christmas '05.


For Christmas that year Pansy had given Draco a present for a night out on Muggle London, providing them with dinner reservations at a classy restaurant as well as luxury accommodations for the night. Her note had instructed Draco to introduce his 'companion' to culture and that she still did not quite approve.

Ron had been stunned.

"Close your mouth, Weasley, unless you’d like to put it to better uses," Draco smirked, tugging his companion to the bed of their hotel room and hoping Pansy forgives him for ignoring dinner reservations, and the socks Ron thought fit to get her.

Title: Girl
Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: Ron/Pansy

Additional Notes: The third and last fic for [info]xylodemon's Ficlet-a-thon, still for [info]saphreanth. Ron/Pansy. Prompt: Girl, by The Beatles. I have been uncreative (please ignore the mood) and chosen to use the song titles for titles.


Molly had hoped that she was wrong about Pansy Parkinson the way she was about Fleur Delacour. )

Right, bit of a backgrounder. Waaaaay back when it was still summer, I went up to an almost-stranger and asked her for a Gmail invite, which she graciously gave me, despite the fact that I was only a friend of her friend. I told her I'd write her at least 500 words of any ship she wanted, and her requests were either Lucius/Pansy, Bellatrix/Neville, and Ernie/Hermione. I told her I'd do the last.

Six months later, I have no Ernie/Hermione to show for my efforts. This is really quite sad, if not a bit funny. She's never asked me about the ficlets, and yeah, it kind of looks like I chickened out altogether, but I love my Gmail to tiny little bits and pieces and she is a very sweet girl.

[info]starrysummer, thank you ever so much. I apologise for being half a year late, and I wibble upon these fics, but I do hope you enjoy them. Happy Christmas!

Title: Summer Bride
Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: Lucius/Pansy
Length: 850 words
Rating: PG13
Warnings: None
Summary: Pansy marries into the Malfoy family.

Summer Bride )

~*~

Title: Superimposition
Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: Bellatrix/Neville
Length: 875 words
Rating: PG13
Warnings: None
Summary: Neville wants to avenge his parents, but it isn't so easy.
Notes: Erm, I don't know if I got Bellatrix quite right, or Neville, for that matter. I'm not used to writing either, so apologies in advance.

Superimposition )

~*~

Title: And Again
Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: Bellatrix/Ernie/Hermione
Length: 500 words
Rating: R
Warnings: None
Summary: Hermione's been broken, and Ernie can't fix her.
Notes: Much as I tried, I could not write Ernie/Hermione. It was somehow too, um, harmonious for me. Then I saw Bellatrix/Ernie/Hermione in your interests, which was a bit eye-catching, as you're the only one who had that listed, so I thought maybe I'd write you that instead, as technically, it is still Ernie/Hermione. ;) (Also, ack. Pardon the cheesy summary.)

Title: Strawberry Kisses (Not Quite TV Love)
Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: Pansy/Hermione
Length: 100 words
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: None
Summary: "Maybe it's not true / Love on the TV / Just like we imagined it"
Additional Notes: For [info]inell, who requested Pansy/Hermione with the words "tastes like strawberries". Funny, I'd've thought I'd do the other two requests because they included Blaise, but. Whee for femmeslash! Also, summary and inspiration for the title comes from "Shiny Red Balloon", by Barbie's Cradle. Local band, lovely song.


It wasn't the way they said it would be.

There was no sweet violin playing a ballad in the background or tenderly whispered promises to giggle to or perfectly rendered moments imprinting themselves upon memory - instead Hermione couldn't stop shaking and Pansy's fingers tugged at her hair painfully, and her back was hurting against the rough surface of the stone walls and Pansy called her mudblood.

She fisted hands into the Slytherin uniform, pulling Pansy up to kiss her and she sneered against her kiss, and she thought at least they got the strawberry taste of her lips right.

Title: Born Blessed
Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: Pansy/Draco (implied)
Length: 100 words
Rating: PG
Warnings: None
Summary: The life of a pureblood
Additional Notes: For [info]longsunday, who requested Pansy/Draco and "being pureblood". Not entirely shippy. Er.

You were born lucky, they tell you, with a silver spoon in your mouth and the world in your platter. Or you would have been, if only.

You were born to privileges, they remind you, with generations of purity before you, superior over all, inferior to none. Or you would be, if only.

And you believed it, took it all in, and let it shape your life.

He let it shape his, too.

And when both your arms burn, you waste no time hesitating, and Apparate immediately.

Because blessed are they whose blood is pure, for the world is theirs.

Title: Vases of Vanity
Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: Pansy/Ginny
Word Count: 100 words
Rating: PG
Additional Notes: Written for [info]fallenravie, who requested Pansy/Ginny with the prompt "See yourself through flowers in a jar".

She turns her face at different angles, examines her make-up, and nods at herself in the mirror.

"Ready for the Ball?"

"In a while," she calls out, and steps out in elegant robes.

She is beautiful.

*


She tucks pale freckled arms into his, blushes at compliments, and hears them whisper, 'she's so lucky'.

"Have I introduced you to--"

"Pleased to meet you," she says, smiling amidst envious awe.

She is sweet.

*


Later they are alone-- her make-up is smudged, her smile is gone. She isn't beautiful with lonely tears, and her desperate kisses aren't sweet.

It's not what matters.

Title: Darkest Before Dawn
Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: Cho/Pansy
Length: 200 words
Rating: R
Warnings: None
Summary: In which Cho is Catholic.
Additional Notes: I was writing holiday drabbles for people when this popped up. No one requested for Cho/Pansy so I thought I might as well post it now anyway. Er, yes. Also, there is an explanation for the title and I've put in allusions in the drabble, but they'll be longer than the actual drabble, so, yeah. Don't mind what it means anymore, just read it and hopefully enjoy it. :P
Edit: For [info]fanfic100, for the prompt Dark.

There were few words, the softest of sighs and incomprehensible, perhaps guttural sounds made from the back of their throats. Lips moved, hands fluttered, breaths ghosted over skin which grew damp with sweat and come and the tongues that licked down necks and collarbones and swirled over nipples. The sheets clung to them even as Cho wrapped a leg around Pansy's waist and Pansy's arms went around Cho's neck so fingers could tangle into hair, long and sleek and as black as hers.

"Fuck," Pansy moaned as Cho bent over to suck at her breast, long fine hair brushing over to tickle her chest, tongue gentle and warm and oh, gods.

"Fuck," Cho gasped, other words dissolving into the stillness of Sunday dawn as Pansy reached down to touch her between her legs, rubbing and stroking and oh, gods.

"Christ." Even.

Cho shuddered when she came, and Pansy held her to her chest when she did.

Pansy stroked her hair, and Cho sighed into the crook of Pansy's neck, peppering it with small kisses before Pansy tilted her face and pecked her softly on the nose.

Somewhere a rooster crowed thrice, and Cho remembered she had to go to Church.
