Thank you all for a very successful and stress-free swap. I got all entries in more than enough time, and the quality this year is amongst the best I've seen in my years in SPEW. And, with no further ado, I present to you the authors of these fine works:

Characters/Pairings: Katie/Oliver, past Katie/Leanne, some vague Lisa Turpin/Colin Creevey if you squint, Dennis, Fred Weasley
Rating: Professors
Warnings:  Sexual Situations, Slash, Strong Profanity, Substance Abuse, Violence
Author’s Note: Jess, you are amazing, and you deserve far, far better than this. The slash warning is for a past relationship, by the way, and I'm hoping you won't mind since I *think* you're partial to the pairing a little in your own Katie/Oliver head canon.

I would like to thank mah smiling nodders for helping me plot hash, getting my through my many writing slumps, answering my dodgy questions and basically just being there for me during dire situations. And, of course, my betas were just pretty damn amazing. Thank you all for putting up with me babbling about this story for ages — I shall name each of you when it is appropriate to do so, but for the time being, know that you're all fabulous!

The title is taken from If You Only Knew by Shinedown. I also wrote this with Save Me (also by Shinedown) in mind :) I don’t own either song, although they sound pretty good (If You Only Knew has pretty much became my smut song for some reason). Please note that the themes in this story are strong, and also, apologies for making this a lot longer than I expected it to be :/ It was only meant to be, at most, 10k, but somehow, it spiralled and became close to 18k. Anyway, happy holidays, everyone, and I hope you enjoy!

Characters/Pairings: Draco Malfoy, Harry Potter, Narcissa Malfoy, Voldemort; Draco/Harry
Rating: 6th/7th Years
Warnings:  Character Death, Slash, Violence, Mental Disorders, Mild Profanity, Dark Themes
Author’s Note: So this didn’t turn out quite like I’d expected, but I hope you like it. My initial inspiration was Leave Out All the Rest, much to the tune of Draco wanting Harry not to think ill of him before he died, but then it sort of spiralled into inspiration drawn from Call Me by Shinedown. Either way, both are incredible songs and fit the story. I hope you like it, even if major Trio Era characters aren’t your thing. However, Dark/Angst very much is.

Characters/Pairings: Louis/Lily
Rating: Sixth-Seventh Years
Warnings (if any): Sexual Situations, Mild Profanity

Author’s Note: Thank you to Lily who betaed this, even if she shouldn’t have. Inspiration for this story came from the general theme of unhealthy relationships in Soraya’s song choices, but one that resonated with me was Turning Tables, specifically the line “Where love is lost your ghost is found”.

Final note: Happy holidays, Soraya! I hope this tickles your fancy and gives you a smile.



Louis turned to go to his bedroom, but Lily grabbed tightly onto his wrist. “That wasn’t quite what I had in mind.”Collapse )

Characters/Pairings: Lily/Scorpius
Rating: 3rd-5th years
Warnings (if any): Mild sexual situations, profanity, mentions of student/teacher romance

Author’s Note: Merry Christmas, Maple!

“You should work this out with her. I’m not really part of this, am I?” Scorpius sat up slowly and suddenly they were close, so close that the warmth of his breath caressed her lips. “Are you?” Collapse )

 
 
24 December 2012 @ 12:15 pm

Characters/Pairings: Remus/Sirius

Rating: 3rd-5th years

Warnings (if any): Mild Profanity, Sexual Situations

Author’s Note: This was beta’ed by Nora/Eleanor Lupin, and the lyrics in the title and subtitles belong to It’s Oh So Quiet by Bjork.  I’m so sorry, Sophie, because I seem incapable of writing anything other than straight angst (or gay angst, in this case, lol). I hope you enjoy this anyway. Merry Christmas!

It was I, really, who brought us together. Funny, then, that I was the first to tear us apart.Collapse )

 
 
23 December 2012 @ 11:40 pm

Characters/Pairings: The Marauders and Lily
Rating: 3rd-5th years
Warnings (if any): substance abuse, mild profanity,
Author’s Note: Thank you to Ari/Royari for betaing so rapidly and excellently.

Helena, I hope you have a lovely Christmas and that this is a suitably amusing story for you.

“Can you smell the cake?” Sirius asked, pausing in the doorway. Without waiting for an answer, he came right into the room and leaned on the end of the bed. “Because I have a plan.”Collapse )

Characters/Pairings: Fleur/Cedric
Rating: 3rd-5th Years (being safe)
Warnings (if any): None

Extra note to BrokenPromise: Well, you did say I could write about anything! I hope you enjoy this story; I had a lot of fun writing it. Have a truly magical Christmas!






He told her his name and she smiled graciously, batting her eyelids as had become habit.Collapse )
