shut up and let me see your jazz hands

1. I remembered to vacuum while it was still light outside! I'm sure I'll still find bits of dusty floor that I missed, but at least there's less of a chance of it than when there's no natural light.

2. I made magic cookie bars. :D So yummy!

3. gloss linked to this multifandom AU drabble meme, which sounded right up my alley as I like AUs and drabbles, and I actually wrote something!

How Strange It Is to Be Anything At All (100 words) by kyuuketsukirui
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
Rating: General Audiences
Warning: Author Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Characters: Neville Longbottom
Summary: Neville pulls the sword from the Sorting Hat and slices through Nagini, then through Voldemort, and in the end it's as easy at that. It's not even magic, really.

Sleeping Underneath Your Skin
~1900 words :: Harry Potter :: Ginny/Harry :: 5/31/08
There are a lot of things Ginny tries not to think about. If she told someone that, they'd probably think she meant the war, maybe especially sixth year. Or Fred's death. Or the whole thing with Tom Riddle's diary. Well, there are things she doesn't like to think about with the diary, but it's not what people expect.

( She doesn't think about the few years before Ron hit his growth spurt, when the two of them were nearly as identical as the twins. She'd cut her hair, put on Ron's jumper, and she'd be free. )

Notes: DH-compliant (including epilogue). Thanks to helens78 for the beta. Written for lgbtfest with the following prompt (highlight to read): Ginny has always thought of herself as a tomboy, but what happens when she begins to wonder if she's just a boy? Will Harry stand by her, and how will they negotiate this change?

Today's 14valentines theme is sexuality, and I'm taking a break from the recs to post fic! That actually fits the theme! Woohoo!

The Weight Upon Your Kiss Ambiguous
~900 words :: adult :: Hary Potter :: Lily/James, James/Sirius :: 2/5/08
Pregnancy hasn't made her a delicate flower; she's never been a delicate flower. Why can't James see that?

( She thinks of the way James is with her, the way he's *always* been with her, so gentle she could scream. )

Notes: Thanks to helens78 for the beta. ( Why I chose to write this for today's theme. )

All but the Bitter Residue
~1000 words :: adult :: HP (Sirius/Remus)

Notes: Thanks to helens78 for the beta. Written for hp_tarot, with the prompt of the Five of Cups (interpretation: "A dark cloaked figure. It is a card of loss, but something remains over; three have been taken, but two are left.")
Summary: In the days following Voldemort's defeat, Remus struggles to come to terms with betrayal and loss.

( It's not nightmares that keep Remus up at night. The nightmare is what he's living. )

Title: Lotions Master SNAP
Author: kyuuketsukirui
Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: Harry/Snape
Rating: R
Length: ~2100 words
Disclaimer: JKR owns these characters. I'm not making any profit off them.
Notes: Thanks to helens78 for the beta and angelacaduca for the Britpick. Written for the multific Finish-a-Thon. The idea for this came from this AIM convo about some badfic that had misspelt potions as lotions and Snape as Snap. SNAP here is a parody of BPAL, an incredibly popular online perfume manufacturer.
Summary: Things don't go as planned when Harry decides to track down the mysterious man behind SNAP.

( The bloke in the catalogue, the embodiment of tall, dark, and handsome, winked up at him whilst rubbing lotion on his hands in a way which went right past suggestive to porn. )

DVD style commentary for the fic can be found here.

Thanks to helens78 for the beta.
fanfic100 prompt: Broken
Summary: Sirius doesn't see why what James does with Lily should have anything to do with what he does with James.

( Seven years. Eight? Fuck if he's going to stand aside now just because Lily finally gave James the time of day. )

Title: No Understanding no Sound from Above
Author: kyuuketsukirui
Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: Sirius/Remus
Rating: R
Length: ~1500 words
Disclaimer: JKR owns these characters. I'm not making any profit off them.
Notes: Written for the hp_whatif "genderswitch" challenge and for the "insides" prompt for fanfic100. Thanks to helens78 for the beta. Without her, this fic would have been much more confusing...
Summary: Remus has a secret that has nothing to do with the full moon.

( But as the years go by, the secret grows, fills all the spaces left open by the other til he's just as choked and swollen with it as before. Til he feels sometimes like he's about to burst, his skin splitting open to reveal the lie. )

Title: Not Something I Can Be Proud Of
Author: kyuuketsukirui
Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: Sirius/Harry, Sirius/Remus
Warning: Adult/teen (15-year-old)
Rating: NC-17
Length: ~800 words
Disclaimer: JKR owns these characters. I'm not making any profit off them.
Notes: Thanks to helens78 for the beta. This was written for kungfooqueen for harry_holidays and also for the fanfic100 prompt "summer". Commentary on the fic can be found here.
Summary: Even with James dead and gone for fourteen years, Sirius still can't forget him. Remus was foolish to think otherwise.

( Harry doesn't notice, but Remus does. Remus notices the way Sirius's hand lingers just a bit too long on Harry's shoulder, the way he leans in just a bit too close. He notices the look in Sirius's eyes, and he wants to shake him and say 'for Christ's sake, Padfoot, he's only fifteen!' but half the time he wonders whether Sirius doesn't think he's still fifteen himself. )

Rating: R
Length: ~300 words
Disclaimer: JKR owns these characters. I'm not making any profit off them.
Notes: Written for the "beginnings" prompt for fanfic100.
Summary: Sirius tries to remember when things changed.

( Surely there must have been a turning point somewhere, a moment when Remus went from being just another mate to being someone Sirius thought about kissing. )

Title: Getting a Bit Obsessed
Author: kyuuketsukirui
Fandom: Harry Potter
Characters: Harry/Draco
Disclaimer: Harry Potter & co. belong to JKR.
Summary: Ron's had it up to here with Harry's little obsession.
Notes: For sorchar, who requested Harry/Draco based on a picture of whipped cream. Yeah. Humor was my only option. :p Luckily HBP gave us canonically obsessed!Harry, so I had something to work with.

( Ron looked around, glad the corridor was empty. ''You're insane,'' he muttered. )
