Title: Children of the Light
Disclaimer: J. K. Rowling and associates own these characters. I am writing this story for fun and not profit.
Pairings: Harry/Draco, Ron/Hermione
Rating: R
Warnings: Angst, violence, present tense, future-fic with intertwined timelines, OC point-of-view in one timeline.
Wordcount: 12,000
Summary: Wizarding children of the future learn about the Dark Lords that led up to the Great Dark Lord. They learn about the House-Elf War that was fought against the Great Dark Lord and almost destroyed the foundations of society, but ended with freedom and peace and an escape to the stars. But they don’t learn about Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter. Those names have been expunged from the record.
Author’s Notes: This fic jumps back and forth between past and future, but only in different scenes, so hopefully it should be easy to keep track of what is happening when.

Title: Like This
Rating: PG
Warnings: Angst, episodic style, present tense, dual timeline, no happy ending
Word count: 5700
Summary: Beltane is as much an end as a beginning.
Disclaimer: Characters are the property of JK Rowling, et al. This was created for fun, not for profit.
Author's Notes: Written in the 2011 hds_beltane fest as a pinch-hit for vane_nt, to a prompt of magical rituals: Your chosen characters take part in a magic ritual involving a bonfire. What is the ritual for? Why do they want (or must) participate? Optional: what if the ritual goes wrong? What if your main characters make a serious mistake and/or sabotage the ritual? Why would they do it? What would the consequences be? It also includes her prompts of Severitus and Snape surviving DH. his story was a challenge (in the good way) to write. My betas Linda and Kelly helped enormously.

This is an older one-shot that I never posted to my main journal. Don't start reading here; it's the second part, split for length reasons.

Title: A Harp, A Shadow, The Wind
Disclaimer: These characters are the property of J. K. Rowling and associates. I make no claim to them.
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco
Summary: Draco was kidnapped, his shadow stolen away, his ability to lie also taken. Harry and Draco adventure through poetry, through time, and through darkness to win both of them back
Rating: R
Warnings: Non-graphic sex, angst, foul language. This story takes place after DH, but doesn't take notice of the epilogue. Also, this is non-linear like hell and plays games with points of view. And has rhyming couplets in some parts.
Word Count: ~10,000
Author's Notes: This was written for elfflame for the bottom_draco fairytale prompt fest, inspired by Thomas the Rhymer. Thank you very much to my friend Linda for the beta.

Title: Down In the Shadows To Pray
Disclaimer: J. K. Rowling and associates own these characters. I am writing this story for fun and not profit.
Pairings: Harry/Draco, Narcissa/Lucius
Warnings: Het, slash, sex (both het and slash), voyeurism, some slight bondage, DH spoilers but EWE, odd pagan religion. Non-linear; tense switches; Narcissa POV.
Word Count: ~8000
Rating: NC-17.
Summary: Narcissa has long since accepted that she will have no daughter to follow her into the Shadows, but she had thought she would have a daughter-in-law. Now, her son’s choice imperils that, and forces her towards a choice of her own between her duty as a mother and her duty to her faith.
Author’s Notes: Dedicated to raphsody606, in incredibly late celebration of her birthday! She gave me pretty much free rein. Here is the result, a fic which tries to imagine paganism existing in the wizarding world but only for a small section of it, rather than the whole (which seems rather implausible given the Hogwarts celebrations of Christmas and Easter, among other things). Oh, yes, and it’s weird and kind of surreal and not meant to imply anything about real-world paganism or neopaganism at all; this is a brand of religion I made up.

Title: Five Ways to Forgiveness
Disclaimer: J. K. Rowling and associates own these characters. I am writing this story for fun and not profit.
Pairings: Harry/Draco, Harry/Ginny, Draco/Astoria, Ron/Hermione.
Rating: R/M.
Warnings: DH SPOILERS, epilogue-compliant. (In fact, it takes place in the middle of the epilogue. Sort of). Profanity and sex.
Summary: Every choice we make opens some paths and closes off others. At King’s Cross, Harry abruptly sees five futures that may occur for him—but not all of them can happen.
Author’s Notes: msarden, I am so sorry this took so long to post! I was working on a much longer story that broke down after ten thousand words, and then it felt like I had no more ideas. But in this story, Draco and Harry don’t set out to deliberately hurt each other, they aren’t separated only by stupidity, and there is some smut, so I hope it’ll give you some happiness anyway!

The title is (very) slightly adapted from the title of a book by Ursula K. LeGuin, Four Ways to Forgiveness. This story also accepts the family tree that Rowling recently released as canon.
