Title: Nymphadora's Favorite Things
Author: Merryb87
Rating & Word Count: Heavy R; 248

Title: The Vacant Interstellar Spaces
Author: lady_moriel
Format & Word Count: Fic, 2,282 words
Rating: PG?
Prompt: 12, image of the Andromeda galaxy
Warning: DH spoilers; character death; fluff that turns into a little angst and then into a whole truckload of angst; more geekery and Eliot-quoting (from East Coker again).
Summary: Blacks pick names from the stars, so they are stargazing for their child. The name they pick ends up coming from the sky anyway.
Author's Note: I'm pretty sure Jo didn't tell us exactly how this all happened, so...I made stuff up. Originally this was just going to be fluff, only the stargazing bit, and...things happened.

( Remus squinted upward. 'Isn’t that Betelguese? Funny name, even for the Blacks.'Collapse )

Title: Love note

Title: Heaven With A Smidgen of Marmalade
Author: cuban_sombrero
Format & Word Count: long drabble, 365 words
Rating: PG
Prompt: 17, She only drinks coffee at midnight
When the moment is not right
Her timing is quite unusual
You see her confidence is tragic
But her intuition magic
And the shape of her body--unusual"
Warnings: None
Summary: She rubs her stomach, taut like a drum, and wonders how the hell she can love this child when all it’s done is cause this pain and this misery and –
Author's Note: I meant to post this yesterday, but I had to turn my computer off because of storms, so I'm hoping it's still March 31st somewhere in the world, even if it's not here. Happy April Fools day, everyone, and Happy Birthday Fred and George.

 

32. BONUS PROMPT!!!



In at least 10,000 words, explore all the different ways in which Remus was only pretending to be in love with Tonks, while he was clearly in love with his dearly departed lover Sirius all this time, and simply did not have the nerve to tell Tonks. Feel free to write hot smut in which Tonks morphs herself to look like Sirius, or perhaps bring up the ways in which Tonks is obviously not really deserving of Remus' love. After all, we R/T shippers are all secretly R/S shippers in denial, and it's about time that we accepted the true canon-ness of Remus/Sirius! Extra points for buttsex!

Rating: G
Prompt: 7; post-it note on the refrigerator

Author's Note:

Title: Spring rain
Author: pinkhairedauror
Format & Word Count: Ficlet, 664 words
Rating: PG
Prompt: 31:
April is the cruellest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain.
from The Waste Land – The Burial of the Dead by TS Eliot
Warnings: None, besides screwing up the prompt beyond recognition...
Summary: Spring. Spring showers. Tonks cannot run out in the rain... but she still won't stay indoors.
Author's Note: This isn't the crack I promised (sorry, gijane...) but at least it's NOT angst. I'd guess... slightly fluffy? Ah well.

( She'll make you take your clothes off and go dancing in the rain...Collapse )

Title: Blossoming Romance
Author: carnivalgirl
Format & Word Count: Fic, 1098 words.
Rating: G
Prompt: Prompt 16, lipstick on mirror. Prompt 29, extract from "The Waste Land"
Warning: Silliness.
Summary: OotP era, a follow up from this fic. Having a bit of a wallow in self-pity after a meeting with an ex, Remus the apparent Marauder forgets about April Fools' Day on the 31st of March and wakes up the victim of a prank. But is it all down to Fred and George?
Author's Note: Pretend Fred and George had left school at this point (I only remembered the details after I'd written the fic). I was determined to make my last story fun despite the angsty prompt and I hope I managed it, because I've had so much fun this month and I'm sad it's over! Does anyone want to be Friends?
