Fic! And five years!
Five years on LJ today. Five years in which I have
* Still not finished the first fic I began to post.
* Taken four years to complete the second (well, its sequel at any rate).
* Never once really managed being a good respondent to comments.
* Managed to avoid writing any sex scenes except for one het that only![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
chantefable read, so that pretty much counts as none, yet still had kind readers.
* Had the loveliest, most forgiving readers and flist in the world! There's almost no one I prefer a natter or a debate or a polite argument with! (And AC Grayling never returns my calls)
I was going to post the sequel to Tidings of Comfort to mark the occasion, but it's not finished (tradition! Actually, it would have been, but it was the subject of my recent computer disaster and I have some tendonitis in my right arm from freelancing in poorly set-up offices, so expect it soonish.) Instead, have my recent Smoochfest fic, and a very happy Saturday to you all, especially the sternly sexyaustrianschool, the lovely and lurky smth_evil, and the delightful drachengreif, all of whom enjoyed their birthdays yesterday, and today's birthday flistees, the absolutely fabulous asitha, the much-missed rosiew and the utterly adorable sirius_luva, who I hope is having a good time at home and will be back with her Perth pals soon! Best wishes of the day and hopes for good Scotch/margueritas/mead/hot chocolate/delicious icy beverage as appropriate, along with many gifts!
And now the fic … You may recall me declaring I wasn't writing for any fests, but the prompter asked for something with Estonians, so I assumed it was a personal request. And when I said as much totreacle_tartlet, she replied 'Oh yes, I definitely think you should totally write that one.' About a week of vigorous encouragement later, I twigged enough to say 'That was you, wasn't it?' but the damage had already been done. Sigh.
Author LJ Name: blamebrampton
Prompt Number: 12, gift fortreacle_tartlet
Title: The Consolations of a Summer’s Day
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco and canon pairings, plus the odd fanonical previously for Harry and Draco.
Summary: Harry Potter is absolutely certain Draco Malfoy did not murder Pansy Parkinson. He’s almost absolutely certain he can prove this without sacrificing his career and having them both hauled up before the Wizengamot.
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: All Harry Potter characters herein are the property of J.K. Rowling and Bloomsbury/Scholastic. No copyright infringement is intended.
Warning(s): Dead Pansy Parkinson at the start of the story. And at the end, too, plus in the middle. No Zombie Pansy, that would be wrong.
Epilogue compliant? Only for Ron and Hermione.
Word Count: about 33,000
Author's Notes: Anyone JKR left alive at the end of Deathly Hallows is alive in this fic, regardless of what the films say! Thanks to the prompter for such a fun prompt: working your additions of tattoo and trench coat in was easy, the tiepin, on the other hand, alas … look, feel free to assume Ron is wearing one! Thank you very much to the mods who run an excellent fest and show enormous compassion towards the chronically slow! And especial thanks tojadzialove and raitala, the finest betas, Balt-picker and sanity checkers a writer could have! Any remaining mistakes are due to my inability to correctly make their edits.
( Aurors, crime, adventures and house elves! )
