My fic index has moved to Dreamwidth.

Well, that wasn't how I was planning on spending my Friday night.

Apart from fanfic, I've deleted all entries from ctorres, and I will not be crossposting entries to there from Dreamwidth in the future. I will continue to read my LJ flist, but when LJ characterized a bug that allowed users to see other users' locked posts and inbox as having "no effect on security", they lost the last bit of my trust.

If I'm not following you on Dreamwidth and you'd like me to, let me know, please. And if anyone needs an invite code, I've got several.

Aaaaand here's the other bit of fic rescued from the depths of my hard drive and the end of the past 24 hours' fic spammage. This would have been posted hours ago but for the lack of a title.

Characters: Minerva McGonagall, Hermione Granger
Summary: Never let it be said that Minerva McGonagall didn't take care of her own.

It's amazing what can be found by trawling through a folder of partially finished fic. The majority of this has been sitting around for at least a year. All it needed was an ending and a little polish....

Title: Scare Tactics
Author: ct
Fandom: Harry Potter
Character(s): Millicent Bulstrode, assorted others
Original prompt: A view of an event in Goblet of Fire or Order of the Phoenix, as seen from a Slytherin perspective.
Summary: Millicent's only met her cousin Alice once.

Title: Worthy Opponent
Recipient: bronze_ribbons
Prompt: Whomping Willow/Mrs. Norris
Word Count: 111
Rating: G
A/N: Originally posted on April 22, 2007 for mctabby's Cat's Birthday HP Drabblethon IV.

The worst part about students, Mrs. Norris had long thought, was their predictability. Catching the little brats out of bounds grew dull when they hid in the same places every night. This, though... this was fun. This was amazing.

It was a branch. A special branch, with leaves still clinging to its twigs to bat about and bugs crawling on its bark for a bedtime snack.

She took another swipe at its tip, claws unsheathed, and hissed as she jumped back to avoid being flattened with its return blow. She'd ignore the red-headed brats tomorrow night to thank them for this present her Argus confiscated. Finally, she had a worthy opponent.

This year, I wrote Sesame Street fic for Yuletide. This is, incidentally, the second time I've written Muppety fic and the third (out of six) that I've written for a fandom aimed at kids. Apparently I have a niche? I have a whole post about writing this story that I'll post later today, but for now, here's the story.

Title: Five Lessons Chris Learned From Working at Hooper's (And One He Had To Pick Up At Home)
Fandom: Sesame Street
Rating: G
Summary: See title.
A/N: Written for Yuletide 2009 for cereta, who asked for Chris/Alan slash in the spirit of the show. Many thanks to Incapricious for beta-reading.

I never did post this here, did I?

Title: Supper
Fandom: Harry Potter (Marauder Era)
Word Count: 111
Warning: disturbing implications
A/N: Written for arionrhod in mctabby's 5th annual drabblethon, for the prompt "Snape/Lupin, no DH or Tonks 'I neither like nor dislike Severus.' How deep to Remus' feelings go?"

~~~

"Enough!"

James and Sirius stopped talking. Remus hardly ever shouted.

"I neither like nor dislike him. I just don't want to go to Azkaban for killing him. Get that through your thick skulls, would you?"

Sirius sputtered. "You wouldn't- I-It was just a prank, Remus. Dumbledore understood."

"And I'm lucky it was up to him and not the Wizengamot, aren't I? Leave me alone."

James grabbed Sirius' sleeve and dragged him away. Remus sighed. It was time for dinner, but he couldn't stomach the idea of eating anything more than some veg. He'd been so close to Severus that night and even now, the wolf inside craved a taste of meat.

Title: A Morning At Home
Fandom: Criminal Minds
Pairing: Emily Prentiss/JJ Jareau
Rating: PG
A/N: Written for the Summer '09 FSAC calendar, although it started life as a fic for lgbtfest. The original prompt had something to do with the most important day in a queer person's life other than coming out or a first kiss.
Son of A/N: This story came in fifth overall in the calendar.
