Fic: Forgiveness for lesyeuxverts00

[smallgiftsmods.livejournal.com]

Title: Forgiveness
Author: Margot/midnight_birth.
Recipient: lesyeuxverts00.
Rating: PG-13.
Highlight for Warnings: *Some angst, snogging, not much else, really. *
Word Count: 2,620
Prompt: April is the cruellest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain.
Winter kept us warm, covering
Earth in forgetful snow, feeding
A little life with dried tubers." ~~The Waste Land by T.S.Eliot.
Summary: Sometimes, anger is easier than acceptance.
A/N: Gah, I really hope you like this, dear recipient! I tried to include as many things you mentioned you liked as I could, and I hope that my interpretation of the poem came across at least a little bit. I adore the Waste Land, I must admit, and I was thrilled when I saw it as one of your prompts. I enjoyed writing this immensely, suffice it to say. A humongous thank you to the mods for putting up with my tardiness. ♥

Title: The Devil You Know
Author: magnetic_pole
Recipient: woldy
Rating: R for sexual situations
Warnings: *Underage sex, angst, Significant Snape Content (I know that's a deal-breaker for some of you)*
Also, R and S involved in various non-R/S pairings, including: *Sirius/James (unrequited), Sirius/Snape, Remus/Snape, and Remus/OMC*
Word Count: 5100
Summary: As the old saying goes, better the devil you know than the one you don't.
Author's notes: A happy, happy new year to you, woldy! I tried to respond to your request for a devil's bargain—metaphorically, perhaps, depending on how you see events—as well as your preferences for cohabitation at Grimmauld Place and flawed characters. A thousand thank yous to glass_icarus and liseuse for speedy beta work and Brit-picking, although all errors remain my own.
