Life seems but a quick succession of busy nothings

I wrote fic! It's short and it's silly, but it's a start. Now there's hoping I'll get back into the swing of writing.

Title: That's why they call me Mr Fahrenheit
Author: Donna Immaculata
Rating: PG-13 for innuendos
Words: 1850
Warnings: Cross-species, stolen puns, silliness and a hint of crack
Pairing: Ron/Ten (Doctor Who)
Disclaimer: None of the characters mentioned in this fic are mine. Hot!Ron belongs to Shocolate.
A/N: The premise requires some explanation: shocolate claims that Ron's so hot he won't stay wet long as the water simply evaporates. We know that the tenth Doctor is so hot that he won't stay wet long, as proved in New Earth. They're the perfect match.

That's why they call me Mr Fahrenheit

*is worried*

First thing I did this morning was write a ficlet for cordelia_v, who asked for "a sick, sacriligeous drabble. Bonus points if you can work in any of the following: his history as a member of the Hitler Youth; Ratzinger's pronouncement that all other religions are "deficient"; or a reference to the fact that (more than any other cardinal) he's worked hard to foreclose any possibility that women could ever become Catholic priests." I meant to link to it in my LJ this morning, but I forgot. Not a good sign.

Anyway, it's Joseph Ratzinger/Karol Wojtyla (aka Benedict XVI/John Paul II). Offensive subject matter, Nazi references and implied slash! Be warned! The original version in German is here. The translation (a very hasty and rough one) is ( here )

It's two more days until deadline, and I already posted the crossover fic I wrote for prurient_badger. That's a first.

Title: Crossroads
Crossover: HP/Narnia
Word Count: 3,940
Rating: R for disturbing contents and mild slash
Characters: Edmund-centric
Disclaimer: I own neither The Chronicles of Narnia nor Harry Potter.
Summary: While exploring the White Witch's house, Edmund has a strange encounter
Notes: I took liberties with the timeline in The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe. This story is set in the half hour between Edmund's arrival in the White Witch's house and their setting off after Peter, Susan, Lucy and the Beavers.

Beta-read by the fabulous rosina_alcona, who owns my heart, and, if she so chooses, my firstborn.

Crossroads

My Remus/Remix fic is up. It's R-rated Remus/Severus with dubious consent.

Title: Schlafes Bruder
Author: Donna Immaculata
Summary: Severus sleeps like the dead
Rating: R
Pairing: Remus/Severus
Warnings: dubious consent
A/N: The title is taken from Bach's Choral No. 56: 'Komm, oh Tod, du Schlafes Bruder', meaning 'Come, death, you brother of sleep'.
Many thanks to my lovely betas ellensmithee and moshi for fixing my tense problem!

When I started writing this back in January, it was planned to be a short and sweet little ficlet with some kisses and some sex, held together by thin pretenses of plot.

When I finished it, it turned out to be the longest thing I've ever written. And it's not because the thin pretenses of plot that take up so much space.

I give you Bill/Remus porn:

Title: Genesis
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Fluff. Kisses. Butter crumpets.
Word count: 16,829
Summary: Bill goes werewolf hunting
Disclaimer: Not my characters. If they were, Bill wouldn't have mysteriously disappeared from OotP after the first half of the novel
A/N: With many thanks for babycakesin, whose comments made me not only laugh, but also feel that I had done the right thing.

Part one is here.

( Part Two. )

Written for adinkra, as a response to the pairing Snape/Percy and including tea, a comb and a minor disagreement. Since I can't write a Snape fic without his getting involved in disagreements whenever he opens his mouth to speak, that wasn't a problem. I have, however, never written Percy before, so I don't really have a Percy voice. I hope he is to your liking.

Title: Tea for Two
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Snape/Percy Weasley
Summary: The day Peter Pettigrew was Kissed, Severus Snape got drunk for the first time in his life.
Disclaimer: These characters are not at all mine.

In other news: The German Telekom managed to fuck up my phone connection even though I'm with a different provider. I haven't had Internet and phone for one week now and it'll be a few more days before they'll sort it all out. So I've been told. Since I don't like reading fandom-related stuff on public computers (and because I'm leaving for a weekend trip later today anyway), I won't be around for a little while longer *sighs heavily*

I have also missed the deadline for the CCC. Oh well, there'll be another wave.

Speaking of which: babycakesin, I loved reading your comments. I'm glad the 70s-style furniture amused you. I quite liked it myself, and Remus is too polite to object...

...for my own convenience.

I've been linking to my fics in the memory section and decided to include links to the two fics I've never posted on or linked to from LJ. ( Here be Sirius, Remus and Peter-centred stories. )

Here's the second part of my Snupin fic. I can't explain the ending. It sort of... happened.

Part I

( Part II )

I have followed the discussion resulting from marinarusalka's Dumbledore essay on hp_essays (and have contributed a lengthy comment which basically is my Dumbledore essay), and in combination with the other Dumbledore essays I've read, as well as the fact that mimine once pointed out the similarity between Dumbledore's and Lupin's characters (i.e. manipulative liars), I realised something that I feel the need to address.

Everyone who has read more than one entry on my LJ will have noticed that I do like Remus Lupin. In fact, I rather adore him. I've discussed his characterisation with several people by email and I have posted comments (most often rather lengthy ones) on other people's journals. I do hope that everyone who has read my opinion on Remus realises that I don't like him because he is nice, essentially good person, but because he is a smooth liar who tends to dodge responsibility. He withholds important information all throughout PoA. We all know it, we all criticise it.

What strikes me as rather mysterious is why everyone accuses Remus on not telling Dumbledore about Sirius' Animagus form, when not one anti-Dumbledore essay (unless I missed it) lists the fact that Dumbledore knew about the tunnel leading to the Shack because he was the one who had it built as one of Dumbledore's many failures. Remus didn't have to give that information. He had it from Dumbledore, after all.

The fact that Sirius is an Animagus is certainly very important, but it isn't how he got into the castle. It is how he escaped Azkaban - and travelled the country. He would have been able to get into the castle even without being able to turn into a dog. He moved around the castle human-shaped. Being able to turn into a dog made it easier, but the major reason he was able to get on the grounds was the tunnel which Dumbledore himself had built and yet not blocked - although he had Filch supervise/make inaccessible all the other secret passages to the castle, just in case.

Remus is guilty of withholding information in many instances, but not of withholding from Dumbledore how Sirius got into the castle.

BTW, marinarusalka, this doesn't refer to your essay, which focuses on quite a different aspect of Dumbledore's character. It's merely something-I've-always-wanted-to-say.

Ruthless!Remus has been around quite a lot recently. About time, too. Would you believe that when I first started reading HP fanfiction, I seriously wondered whether it was an established mythological fact that "werewolves mate for life"?

An excellent example of Ruthless!AndYetCanon!Remus is mousapelli's The Most Riduculous First Name I've Ever Heard. After reading the fic, I forced a Remus discussion upon mousapelli, the result of which can be summarised in a few words: Remus is a friggin' psycho. Forget Snape and Sirius. You want a deranged man? Go for Mr. Lupin.

Some weeks ago I was indulging in reading essayel's fics on ff.net, and apart from laughing my head off at her parodies, I realised that I very much enjoyed the (non-sexual) interaction between Remus and Draco. There don't seem to be many Remus/Draco fics around, and so I had to write my own. It is not pretty, and not quite as smutty as one might wish for. I can't bring myself to write inter-generation sex, I'm afraid.

( Remus enjoys tormenting a 15-year-old. Draco humps. R-ish. )
