Title: A Cacophony of Love and Violence
Pairings: Harry/Theo
Content Notes: Ignores the epilogue, Hogwarts “eighth year,” violence, drama, angst, outsider POV, courting traditions, gore
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Theodore Nott has fallen in love with Harry Potter and decided to court him with the most solemn and violent of pureblood traditions. The biggest surprise is that Harry Potter has fallen in love back and fully accepted the courtship. And everyone around them has to deal with it.
Author’s Notes: This story is part of my “More Harry/Theo in the World Project” series of short fics. LawfulEvil gave me a prompt that is basically the summary, although with a few details changed. This will have a second part, to be posted next week.

Title: Beyond the Sacred
Disclaimer: J. K. Rowling and associates own these characters. I am writing this story for fun and not profit.
Pairing: Mentions of background canon pairings, otherwise gen
Content Notes: Hogwarts “eighth year,” humor, parody, present tense
Rating: PG-13
Wordcount: 4300
Summary: Members of the “Sacred Twenty-Eight”: “Don’t you wish you were sacred like me?” Harry: “Not really, no.”
Author’s Notes: This is one of my “Songs of the Stormy Season” one-shots being posted between Halloween and the winter solstice. It mocks the concept of the Sacred Twenty-Eight that I’ve seen treated ultra-seriously in some fics, so if you really like that concept, this is not the fic for you.

Title: The Lefthand Path
Disclaimer: J. K. Rowling and associates own these characters. I am writing this for fun and not profit.
Pairing: Harry Potter/Viktor Krum, mentions of Ron/Hermione
Rating: PG-13
Content Notes: Underage (18/14), AU, angst, canon-typical violence, Dark magic, magically powerful Harry Potter
Wordcount: 6000
Summary: AU. Viktor and Harry strike up a friendship during Harry’s fourth year, which rapidly becomes something more. And with that something more comes Viktor introducing Harry to Dark Arts—which Harry’s magic takes to with wild energy.
Author’s Notes: This is one of my “Songs of Summer” one-shots being posted between the summer solstice and the first of August. The prompt is from Kristina, who asked for Viktor Krum and Harry kick it off a hell of a lot more than anyone Harry’s ever built a relationship with. Krum therefore leads Harry into the world of dark magic. The Lefthand Path in the title is associated in Western magic with breaking rules, mastering oneself, seeking godhood, and anarchy, among many other things. Hope you enjoy.

Title: The Light of Summer Stars
Disclaimer: J. K. Rowling and associates own these characters. I am writing this story for fun and not profit.
Pairing: Harry/Severus
Content Notes: Angst, AU in that Severus lives, rituals, Lammas
Wordcount: 5200
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Sequel to “Bend Before the Sun.” The last thing Harry expects, after the Midsummer ritual to heal the wound in Snape’s neck that received only Snape’s reluctant cooperation, is for the man to invite him to a Lammas ritual.
Author’s Notes: This is the last of my “From Litha to Lammas” fics for this year, and the sequel to the first one posted for this year, “Bend Before the Sun.” I hope that you enjoy the story and have enjoyed the series.

Title: Covet
Disclaimer: J. K. Rowling and associates own these characters. I am writing this story for fun and not profit.
Pairings: Harry/Theodore, Harry/Blaise, Harry/Draco/Astoria, Draco/Astoria, Harry/Zacharias, Harry/Luna
Content Notes: Humor, not epilogue-compliant, polyamory, harem fic, magically powerful Harry, screwed-up wizarding law, angst, brief violence
Rating: R
Wordcount: This part 5900
Summary: It turns out that, when various people begin asking Harry for legal and magical shelter, he has the power to marry them all as per an ancient Ministry law that says the conqueror of a Dark Lord can have multiple spouses. Harry knows the marriages are in name only, and it’s not like they require sex, just a magical oath. He thinks he’s doing very well at resisting temptation, not realizing what a temptation he is himself.
Author’s Notes: This is one of my “From Litha to Lammas” fics being posted between the summer solstice and the first of August this year. As you can see from the summary, this fic is not meant to be taken entirely seriously. It should have four parts.

Title: Obsidian’s Desire
Disclaimer: J. K. Rowling and associates own these characters. I am writing this story for fun and not profit.
Pairing: Harry/Marcus Flint
Content Notes: Angst, referenced torture, brief violence, present tense, humor, courtship
Wordcount: This part 4700
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Marcus Flint doesn’t really know what to do with his life after his father dies; his father always told him what to do. So he consults a piece of obsidian, and it directs him to Harry Potter. And, well, Potter has friends, but he doesn’t have a husband…
Author’s Notes: This is one of my “From Litha to Lammas” fics being posted between the summer solstice and the first of August. It will have two parts, the second to be posted tomorrow.

Title: Bend Before the Sun
Disclaimer: J. K. Rowling and associates own these characters. I am writing this story for fun and not profit.
Pairing: Harry/Snape pre-slash
Content Notes: Rituals, angst, mentions of blood and wounds, AU in that Severus survives Nagini
Rating: PG-13
Wordcount: 5900
Summary: Severus survives Nagini’s bite, but the wound bleeds continually and resists all attempts at closing it. A ritual held on the summer solstice might help, but it needs a wizard of immense power to conduct the healing rite—and Severus cannot believe that Harry Potter really wants to help him.
Author’s Notes: The first of my “From Litha to Lammas” fics being posted between the Summer Solstice and the first of August. A request from goddess47 for Severus teaching Harry about Solstice rituals and something happy-making.

Title: A Passage of Pain and Pleasure
Disclaimer: J. K. Rowling and associates own these characters. I am writing this story for fun and not profit.
Pairing: Harry/Voldemort
Content Notes: AU, extremely dubious consent, heavy angst, mentions of torture, forced marriage
Wordcount: 5700
Rating: R
Summary: It turns out that one Horcrux wasn’t destroyed after all, and by the time Voldemort has resurrected himself again, everyone is weary of fighting a war. A marriage between him and Voldemort wasn’t Harry’s idea, but if it keeps any more people from dying, it’s worth it. He assumes that Voldemort will torture him to death sooner or later—but it turns out that his best guess about what his life will be like is wrong, again.
Author’s Notes: Another of my “From Litha to Lammas” fics being posted between the Summer Solstice and the first of August. Please heed the warnings.

Pairing: Established Harry/Draco, mentions of Lily/James and Lucius/Narcissa
Content Notes: Angst
Wordcount: 3000
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Draco had never once thought about nervousness when meeting Harry’s parents, who were dead and gone. But then Harry discovered a way to contact his parents through the Samhain fires—and well, now Draco has to.
Author’s Notes: This is another of my From Samhain to the Solstice fics, written for the request of jamester56, who asked for Draco meeting Harry’s parents and developing a bit of a relationship with them.
