"Glass Trinket" (Draco/Ginny)
daysandweeks gave me the prompt glass.
This drabble, like "Candyfloss," is a prequel to "Runaway Heir" (Draco-centric non-magical AU inspired by "It Happened One Night")

( Glass Trinket, Draco/Ginny )

"Mind Games" (Padma on Harry/Draco)
Am also writing "Twenty Things about Padma Patil."

( Mind Games, Padma on H/D )

---

"Palindrome" (Draco/Su Li flirtation, G)
This Draco (dm1980) and Su Li (androgynous88) are from “People Like Us.”

( Palindrome, Draco/Su Li )

"Freckles" (Fred, George, Lee)
dadomz gave me the prompt: I am thinking it's a sign, that the freckles in our eyes are mirror images and when we kiss they're perfectly aligned--Postal Service's "Such Great Heights"
If you like this, you'd probably enjoy the twins in "Coming Out at Christmas."

( Freckles, Weasley twins gen )

ETA 06/22/09: Remixed by penknife: Freckles (Mirror Image remix) [George, 100 Words, Rated G, spoilers for book 7]

P.S. slytherin100's 17th prompt, Razor (enchanted or Muggle) is open until January 26, 2008.
The 16th prompt, hero, is open until January 19 (bonus points if you include Regulus Black).

P.P.S. "Breakfast Club" fanvid and trailer (SPOILERS!), both set to Postal Service's "Such Great Heights."

My Draco gen drabble:

Draco stared at the bottom of his scotch glass, not remembering when he finished it.

After four sleepless nights, he had been having memory blackouts more and more often. The fire liquid that he consumed didn't help any, of course.

He couldn't understand it--after years of devoting himself to Potions research, he failed at the critical stage of a crucial potion. He could only say good-bye to his dream of becoming a Potions Master at age 20.

He's a disgrace to Malfoys everywhere. Meanwhile, Potter had become a hotshot Auror tracking down ex-Death Eaters in Europe. Draco frowned disconsolately.

The remixed version is here ♥
This Draco's devoid of hope, unlike the Draco in "People Like Us." I appreciate it precisely because I'm unlikely to write depressed!Draco. *takes out pom-poms*
Am definitely signing up for remix_redux again next year :-D

This weekend, pick out three of your favorite writers, those you’ve been reading regularly --- probably for *years* ---and send them a private note telling them you’re out there. Just that. Even if you’ve never, ever done it before. Even if you write yourself.

I've fangirled given feedback to kc_anathema here. Hmmm and empathic_siren's Draco's Boy here. One more to go...perhaps I should write charlotteschaos...I am shamelessly enjoying her Gay Aurors after all X-D

"People Like Us" by lilian_cho
An atomic_fiction challenge fic
Beta: somigliana and rea_saint. All remaining errors are mine. Inserted the Babel pisces spell (03/13/06). Thanks ruien for the nitpick.
Rating: PG-13 for derogatory terms and taking the Lord's name in vain :-P
Pairing(s): Draco/Su Li pre-smth, H/D if you squint.
ETA 01/23/07: Will be H/D in the sequel to the sequel *cries*
Warnings: Gen, but can be read as either pre-het or pre-slash, since Su Li's gender is not determined in the books. (In this story, Su Li is a Chinese Ravenclaw, but Rowling might cast him/her as a love interest or leader of Death Eaters or whatever in Book Seven. You could never know with that woman... *shrug*)

These East Asians are rather like house-elves—he can't tell their gender apart when they're wearing bulky sweaters. He's never sure whether he's hitting on a flat-chested girl or a pretty boy.
