    Fic: Stumbling Upon Release - for [info]curia_regis
    Title: Stumbling Upon Release
    Author: Bellatrix Lestrange!
    Giftee: [info]curia_regis
    Word Count: ~4100
    Rating: R
    Pairing: Severus/Harry, implied Harry/Ginny
    Warnings: *Questionable infidelity between canon pairing and sex that could be read as dub-con or non-con (questionable/coerced consent)*
    Disclaimer: All Harry Potter characters herein are the property of J.K. Rowling and Bloomsbury/Scholastic. No copyright infringement is intended.
    Summary: Harry conveniently finds a Potions supplier who'll help with his Chizpurfle infestation, but will he think to ask about the cost of their assistance?
    Author's Notes: A huge thank you to my generous and thoughtful last minute betas, any mistakes that remain are mine. Also, a special thank you to [info]bewarethesmirk for her patience and consideration in the midst of last minute madness.

    Fic: Detention - for [info]anya_elizabeth
    Title: Detention
    Author: Naughty is as Naughty Does.
    Giftee: [info]anya_elizabeth
    Word Count: 2,954
    Rating: NC-17
    Pairing: Severus/Harry
    Warnings: *Some rather rough snogging and sexing, explicit sexual themes. AU only in the fact that Snape’s alive and still teaching at Hogwarts for Harry’s “8th year”. The trio all go back to get their N.E.W.T.s, but JKR only stated the opposite in interviews, so I don’t know if that counts towards the AU or official canon, depending on your perception of canon.*
    Disclaimer: All Harry Potter characters herein are the property of J.K. Rowling and Bloomsbury/Scholastic. No copyright infringement is intended.
    Summary: Harry knows he doesn’t have to be at Hogwarts. He knows he doesn’t have to go to lessons, and especially detentions. Severus knows this, too. But when Severus orders, Harry comes, and it doesn’t take long for both to figure out why.
    Author's Notes: I’m sorry I couldn’t make it completely canon-compliant, but you said you were ok with an AU and I thought I’d write an “8th year” fic. I couldn’t give you a positive ending otherwise, and I wasn’t completely comfortable writing Snape/Harry in Harry’s sixth year or younger due to his age for some reason. I really hope you enjoy this anyway, dear reader! : ) I had a lot of fun writing it! ♥

    Giftee: [info]maraudersaffair
    Word Count: +18K
    Rating: NC-17

    Warnings: None that I’m aware of
    Disclaimer: All Harry Potter characters herein are the property of J.K. Rowling and Bloomsbury/Scholastic. No copyright infringement is intended.
    Summary: One should always pay attention to semantics.
    Author's Notes: Wow! I’ve finished it! With all the RL things that happened between September and now, I’m REALLY surprised I did it. I’d like to thank our lovely Mods and my betas, [info]bewarethesmirk and [info]carpet_diemon, for working with me. I know I’m not easy to deal with. Also, any mistakes and occasional awkward wording you might find in the story are the result of my stubbornness and inability to accept good advice. I hope you’ll enjoy the story. And Smutty Christmas to everyone.

    End of Year Reminder 2009
    It's drawing in toward the end of the year, and we're all looking forward to doing end-of year things: breaking out the suntan lotion (Southern Hemisphere), breaking through the snow (Northern Hemisphere), breaking into shrieks of glee and/or terror (Yuletiders), and breaking bread with loved ones (holiday celebrants). But one thing you may have forgotten about is that the next few weeks are your last chance to qualify for tax deductions in 2009 (United States). If you've been thinking about donating to the OTW but haven't done so yet, you may want to take a look at your finances and see whether it would be to your benefit to do so before December 31. And if you're employed, please find out if your employer offers matching donations! Every dollar you give could be worth two dollars to the org. You can learn more about how to get your donation matched by your employer on the support the OTW page (scroll down to where it says, "If your employer offers matching donations, you may be able to double your gift!")

    Of course, we're glad of donations of money or help at any time -- especially as we celebrate the open beta of the Archive of Our Own, now with more than 25,000 stories in almost 3,100 fandoms! If you'd like an AOOO account, you can add yourself to the invitation queue; a friend who already has an account may also be able to give you an invitation. And if you'd like to give of your time and effort as well as, or instead of, your money, please see our Willing to Serve post for descriptions of how you can help with the OTW's various projects.

    And meanwhile, enjoy the sun, or the snow, or the shrieking -- and in any case, enjoy the stories!

    Remember -- we're offering two premiums for your donation over US$50. Celebrate the OTW and get something for yourself this season!

    I regret nothing.
    Last night I picked up pasta for dinner from the cafe around the corner, and instead of working on our finals, J and I watched 5 episodes of White Collar.

    In our defense, we were both too exhausted from work to do anything productive.

    Also in our defense, we are addicted.

    We will be saving the last ep for /after/ finals. I... I'm probably going to need icons. :x

Last but not least, thanks to R, B and D for allowing me to pick their brains as I ironed out the plot. The title is a line from William Shakespeare’s ‘Much Ado About Nothing.’

    counting down is making me crazy
    I'm ridiculously behind on my lighting final. I'd been struggling with a specific hurdle, and I got past that this last weekend, but since I was working so hard on figuring out wtf my problem was in only that one area, I'm now behind on all the other parts. Oops. I console myself with the fact that it's not part of my major, I just wanted to know how to do it and now I do, so I'm good so long as I pass.

    My modeling finals, while running into a few issues that are mostly hardware related are going fairly peachy. I'm not going to get them as polished as I'd like, but considering that I was spreading my time between four classes and work, I'm pretty damn happy with what I've come up with.

    Wednesday... zomg. Wednesday and I'll be done for six weeks with mostly online classes in the upcoming semester. I might be working full time, but omg that I can handle. This semester has been one long steady crush of too much to freaking do. I'm mostly caught up on all my CSI TV at least (we shall not speak of SPN). J and I are one episode of Fringe behind, but we might be able to sit down for that tonight.

    And now I have sipped at my tea and my fingers are warm and I should get back to rendering. Cue flaily arms.

    My [livejournal.com profile] hd_holidays gift posted tonight and I'm all squeeful because it is gorgeous art that's so subtle and delicate and fairy-taleish. ZOMG. I heart it something fierce. \0/

    Everyone should go look and tell the artist how awesome it is..and dear God, I want to live in that house so much. It would be fantastic. :D Although I suppose I'll allow Harry and Draco to live there, if they let me come visit. *G*

    Also, huge thank yous to everyone who sent snowflakes earlier this week (and apologies for the belated thanks--I've been keeping myself offline in order to write the past couple of days). I meant to return the snowflake love once I got home from work on Monday night, but alas, LJ had turned the option off by the time I got to my laptop. But believe me when I say every single one of them brought a smile to my face on a day when that was sorely needed. You guys are seriously awesome. *hugs every damn one of you*
