Merlin, Morgana/Nimueh, ~350 words, NC-17
Warnings: explicit rimming, straight-up PWP, nasty

Hey, I needed a break from writing fest fics. And b_hallward seems to like this pairing. *g*

( Like This )

{Merlin, Gwen/Morgana, 500 words. R for a bit of sex. For puckling, who is unbearably kind and sweet (sorry if I'm ruining your reputation *eg*). ♥ ♥ I hope you enjoy this, hon! Unbetaed, so feel free to point out mistakes, anyone. I seem to be writing a lot of drabble sequences...}

I'm waiting to watch 2x04 tonight with an Awesome Person, and I'm dying with suspense! This doesn't contain any spoilers for 2x04, though. Not unless there's a sudden, explicit f/f sex scene, in which case, lmk, 'kay?

hp_sas just unveiled the masterlist for the fest. :) I wrote Scorpius Malfoy, Slut Schemer Extraordinaire for snarkyscorp. And my delightful fic, The Little Boy Complex (Harry/Scorpius, NC-17), was written by drippingcherry.

Reposting this now!

Fool Me Twice by bewarethesmirk
(Merlin, Merlin/Arthur with voyeur!Lancelot; NC-17; 1029 words)
Dedicated to b_hallward. Happy birthday, hon! This is lacking literary merit (and a plot), but I hope you can find something to like.

Thanks to misscake and glass_icarus for the last minute beta! All remaining mistakes are my own.

Quench by bewarethesmirk
(Merlin, Merlin/Arthur; NC-17; 2947 words)
Thank you to the incomparable b_hallward, for all your beta help, time and advice. It has been truly invaluable.

The lovely lizardspots took prompts for porny fanart and she utilised derryere's prompt (Uhhh, accidental drunkenness ending in a shameful mutual handjob!) and mine (I VOTE FOR FROTTAGE. ANYWHERE, EVERYWHERE, I DON'T CARE. :D) to create this masterpiece: Like Velvet (NWS/NC-17) This piece began as a porny ficlet, but then developed a bit of context. It's cushioned in porn.

( I don't understand why you insist on wearing this jacket again )

To end my two month writing break, I took drabble requests from my flist, intending to write 100-to-200 words each. I should have known this was a doomed mission. Those drabbles took on epic-like proportions and are now ficlets of varying lengths. I am posting the first five here! The rest are on the way shortly.

In keeping with my announcement several days ago, all my fic is now public. :) All these have been beta-ed, but remaining mistakes are my own. Please feel free to offer concrit, feedback, whatever. ♥

1. For everysecondtues: Gwen/Morgana - flowers and other small tokens.
Merlin. Gwen/Morgana. PG. 514 words. Beta-ed by heather11483.
( The metal was cold in her clenched fist, and it was both a burden and a relief to press it into Morgana’s hand. )

2. For gestaltrose: Bradley/Colin - one of them RPing as their character (just acting or going all out with costume and props)
Merlin. Colin/Bradley RPS. PG. 346 words. Beta-ed by heather11483.
( I see you wielding a sword almost everyday. I think the novelty’s worn off. )

3. nuclearsugars: Harry/Draco - blue cups, picnic
HP. Harry/Draco. PG. 332 words. Beta-ed by rebekahfair and heather11483.
( To vodka, for it allows me to take advantage of your lightweight arse. )

4. For secretsolitaire: Charlie/Teddy - rimming
HP. Charlie/Teddy. Very NC-17. Rimming. 699 words. rebekahfair and heather11483.
( I want you to go down on me... )

5. For accioscar: Colin/Bradley - Colin's hoodie! (top!Colin, plz) ;D
Merlin. Colin/Bradley RPS. NC-17. Beta-ed by coffeejunkii. 942 words. (Oops.)
( When Bradley opened his eyes, Colin grinned at him from above, looking rather mad with his hood pulled up and looming over Bradley like a Colin-shaped demon. )

Well, hai there. As many of you already know, the hd_holidays masterlist is up.

I want to thank _pinkchocolate for the fic she wrote for me, entitled Out from Under. I recced it here if you want more details about why I enjoyed it so much. :D _pinkchocolate, I know you've been through hell with my fic, and I wanted to apologize for all the strife, but thank you so much. :) It was brilliant.

As for my fic...it's an interesting story. I didn't know okydoky much, but while putting the finishing touches on my fic, she emailed me about beta-ing a fic of hers for hp_yule_balls (I think?), and I thought it the greatest coincidence. I'm happy she's now on my flist. ♥

So, anyway, I wrote To Ignite, originally posted here.

Thank you so much to tomatoe18 for the really nice review she left here. I've been neglecting my flist recently, so I might've missed another review or rec. So please point them out if I overlooked something.

And just a note. I know the warning says 'angst', but there is an H/D hopeful ending, I swear. :D (And in my mind, it is H/D!)

Author: bewarethesmirk
Title: To Ignite
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco, Harry/Ginny, Draco/Astoria, mentions of Ron/Hermione, Lily/random Hufflepuff, and very small bit of AS/S.

Rating: NC-17
Disclaimer: All Harry Potter characters herein are the property of J.K. Rowling and Bloomsbury/Scholastic. No copyright infringement is intended.
Warning(s): Infidelity, epilogue-compliant, pining!Harry. There’s angst, but the ending isn't explicitly angsty. There’s desperate sex, with a dash of rimming and a spot of dirty talk.
Word Count: ~8,000K
Author's Notes: Written for okydoky. Thank to the mods for another great fest. Thanks to lavillanueva for her never-ending support. And to rebekahfair and sesheta_66, I couldn't have done this without your beta expertise. :D

lavillanueva is a goddess, always there for multiple re-reads and hand-holding. Thanks to joanwilder and femmequixotic for completing such a thorough beta on such short notice. The lovely lesyeuxverts00 beta’d earlier portions and offered support.

( Saturdays )

The hp_summersmut masterlist is up! I served as a pinch-hitter, and wrote Good Fortune for Those Who Get Their Hands Dirty (Remus/Hermione) for ellaselenelupin. I received a gorgeous piece of art from ghot (who posts fabulous stuff for daily_deviant!). Check out my gift: Edge (Snape/Lupin, NWS/NC-17).

And I'll post my fic here. :)

Disclaimer: All Harry Potter characters herein are the property of J.K. Rowling and Bloomsbury/Scholastic. No copyright infringement is intended.
Summary: Remus has avoided romance and sex since the Battle of Hogwarts, up until the time Hermione and he began working together. Remus is oblivious and desperate. Hermione wants to unwind after a long week at work—and perhaps, just perhaps, more.
Author's Notes: Written for ellaselenelupin as a pinch-hit in hp_summersmut. Thanks to rebekahfair for the beta!

( Good Fortune Comes to Those... )

Title: Nowhere to Look
Author: bewarethesmirk
Pairings: Fenrir/Draco, Harry. H/D subtext.
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Underage, non-con, voyeurism, dirty talk, AU
Summary: Harry watched through the bars.
Notes: ~1,000 words. Written for lavillanueva because I knew she liked this pairing and I need to start polishing my pr0n-writing skills before I can post to Pornish Pixies. I'm so out of my league here, and I freely admit I have no idea what I'm doing. Concrit welcomed and encouraged. Oh? I took some details from DH and ignored others. Harry is conveniently alone in the Malfoy dungeons. Sue me.

ETA: Thanks to ships_harry for pointing out the typo!

( Nowhere to Look )

Author: bewarethesmirk
Rating: PG-13

( Things Lily Thinks But Never Says in Fourth Year )

Title: Close Your Eyes
Pairing: Sirius/Hermione (kind of)
Rating: R
Warnings: UST in a big way. Creepy!Sirius. Hermione is 16. Non-con/darker innuendo. Please don't read if underage and sexual coercion squick you.
Words: ~1,300
Summary: More and more, the war is threatening to break Hermione's nerves of steel. Sirius willingly proffers a method of relaxation.
Notes: Betaed by coerciveconsent. Mistakes are my own. I might write more.

( Close Your Eyes )

Here it is, here it is, the reveals are up!

First of all, congratulations to Team Epilogue. What a team of talent. :) Some of my best fandom friends were on this team, so I'm very happy their hard work and excitement was rewarded! I also think this says something very positive about fandom--that after DH we can go on and write anything.

My own thank-yous:
Thank you, thank you, thank you so much to Team EWE for being fucking fantastic. First of all, to sansa1970 for being an amazing captain. Sansa promoted cooperation and was always there to help. I'm so happy I was on a team with my good friend, winnett, and the often-stalked-by-me captain_tulip. I made so many new friends, many of which are now on my flist and maybe reading this. :D Thanks to Team EWE for being so fantastic and making it a pleasure to work with you all.

..And for the reveal:

I wrote Smile, You're On Camera for The Devil. Thanks so much to captain_tulip who looked over this less than two hours before the deadline. I owe you my life. Also, thanks so much to rospberry, eeyore9990, and lesyeuxverts00 for all your help. rospberry also contributed to the much-needed Britpicking. If there's anyone I've forgotten, please hit me over the head with a reminder.

For right now, I'm going to link to my fic as it's posted on hd_worldcup. I'm going to do a bit of editing before I put it on my journal. The ending of the fic was written in a rush, and while it was betaed, there's some more tweaking I want to do. :) If you haven't read it yet and want to wait to read it in its soon-to-be completed form, I won't blame you a bit.

For now:
Title: Smile, You're on Camera
Team: Team EWE
Prompt: The Devil
Wordcount: ~14,000
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: A bit of Harry/Ginny but nothing serious or explicit.
Summary: Harry Potter has lost sight of what it means to listen to himself—he's depressed and confused, moving through life only to please the Ministry and the press and his friends. One day he wakes up on a train next to Draco Malfoy and that all changes.
Author's Note: Thanks so much to sansa1970 and all the Team EWEers. Thanks to betas: captain_tulip, eeyore9990, lesyeuxverts00, and rospberry. Thanks to rospberry who performed Britpicking duties. Thanks to all the readers/commenters/watchers of the fest! :)

Smile, You're On Camera

I don't think anyone has done art for this fic, but if art is in existence, please comment here or email me at bewarethesmirk at gmail dot com to ensure it's credited (and that I, erm, actually see it).

Title: The Onslaught of Romantic Turmoil (1/?)
Author: bewarethesmirk
Pairing: Remus/Sirius
Rating: PG-13 – for now
Summary: Seemingly, all the boys are girl-crazed but Remus is not. Before Remus can decide what he’s to do, that unruly creature, life, navigates him on a track that decides for him—and Sirius. (MWPP era, 5th year)
Notes: This is a lot of firsts for me--a first Remus/Sirius fic ever, a first real attempt at a novel-length fic...and the first time I’ve really enjoyed something while writing it. It’s a regurgitation of a lot of fics I’ve read, I know, but I’m writing what I want to write. That being said, I’d really appreciate comments on this, whether praise, criticism or whatever else.

Thanks a million to belladoragirl for betaing!

( The Onslaught of Romantic Turmoil – Part One )

Title: Inadequacy
Pairing: Sirius/Remus (although can be read as gen)
Rating: G
Words: 163
Warnings: Uber angst. I don't really know when this takes place. Take your pick from several opportune occasions--canon or not.
Notes: I'm trying to work out my writing issues, my own feelings of inadequacy and the difficulties of transcribing vague emotions into words.

( Inadequacy )

Title: First Time for Everything
Author: bewarethesmirk
Pairing: Snape/Harry
Rating: PG-13
Words: ~520
Note: For the obvious occasion of Snape's birthday, even if it's a bit late. I actually think this is quite adorable. :-) Unbetaed, so sorry if it sucks. :(
