Aletheia ~ Veracious Reality

Coming Out (Albus Severus/Scorpius, PG, 100 words)

“Do I really have to come out to my parents?” He wheedled.

“If you want this relationship to work, then yes.” Of course his boyfriend would prove unmovable on the subject.

Al pouted. “Why aren’t you the one panicking? Being the sole Malfoy heir and all that.”

Scorpius lowered his glasses and gave him a look. “Unlike your parents, my parents were perceptive enough to guess that I’m gay back in fourth year.”

Al blanched. “You mean—”

“When my dad said, ‘I’m glad my son has you to take care of him,’ he didn’t mean it platonically,” Scorpius said.

2. I signed up as pinch-hitter for remixredux09. If you love remixing but are iffy about having other people remix your fics, do the same thing ;-)

If you want the full Remix Redux experience sign up here.
Sign-ups are open until 11:59 PM EDT June 6, 2009. Assignments will be handed out by June 13, 2009. Stories (min. 1000 words) are due at 11:59 PM EDT July 12, 2009.

This year you only need a minimum of five 500-word ficlets OR seven 100-word drabbles in one fandom to qualify.
AND! Star Trek: Reboot is one of the fandoms offered =D =D =D

3. nextgen_drabble's voting for Rose and Scorpius is open until Wednesday, 11:59pm EST.
My flopsy is probably pretty obvious =P
My personal fav.s are #4 (Talk Nerdy To Me), which has shy Scorpius, and #7 (Recalled), with some role reversal.
You have to vote for both most & least favourite, or your vote doesn't count.

Title: Best Malfoy Legs Since the 1800s
Pairings/Characters: Scorpius, implied AS/S
Rating: PG-13 for crossdressing
Warnings/Kinks: skinny boy in a skirt
Medium: pencil; smudges cleaned in Photoshop
Summary: Draco muses that it's karma for making Crabbe and Goyle polyjuice as little girls. Lucius thinks his legs look better when he was younger. Narcissa just wants a cup of tea.
Artist's Notes: Won the Golden Squid for Truth In Advertising at hp_april_fools *g*
n00b drawing mistakes fixed by my art beta, rea_saint. The leather upholstery belongs to him (the idea of it, that is, not the physical object.) If I'm not lazy I would turn this into a lineart and beg someone to color it. Unlikely to happen, but if someone has advice on how to turn sketches into linearts, I'm all ears.

1. This is the picture that, two months back, I was sketching and thinking, "You know who's skinny? Merlin!"
I want a modern-day!AU where Merlin's an underwear/swimsuit model and Arthur's a photographer, and it's for a borderline soft pr0n magazine. And Arthur's giving Merlin half-breathy directions, and Merlin's getting turned on and his eyes gleamed gold.
Whoops, didn't mean to go the anthropomorphic dragon route there.

2. Why is it that I'm so much more shameless when it comes to Merlin/Arthur pr0n? It's not that the fandom's kinkier than HP. Is there even a kinkier fandom than HP?
Not to mention completely shameless about Bradley/Colin too. Huh.

3. I think I've pinpointed why I'm uninterested with Merlin RP games. Merlin, Arthur, Morgana, Gwen...they're all main characters. In HP, I can RP as obscure characters (Padma, Terry, Al, Scorpius), only-exist-in-notes characters (Su Li), my own OFC (Jade Malfoy)...even Draco's not a main character in canon except for HBP.

With Merlin, I can't help but be more judgmental and going "OoC! OoC!" when an RP-er's interpretation of the character significantly differs from mine.

ETA 10:43 p.m.: * Speaking of RP-ing, May 15th is Blog Like It Isn't You Day.
...I can blog as a random magic user sentenced to death in Camelot? =P

2. [identity crisis] On Race, or Privilege, Or Just Being Human

Rights, I guess, equals entitlement, equals a demand for privilege. It's hard for me to think of a right to be free when I've grown up in a family and a society where my family members - and country members - have sacrificed everything they are (in "Western terms") for their family. Their time, all their income, every inch of their soul and being, in family. Their children are their assets, their stability is their bedrock. Whatever right one has to be something less than practical, to leave the family home, that right gets overwhelmed by other desires. Same as freedom. The desire to see parents happy, or the wish for a smooth life, even in exchange for doing what one loves.

4. Mmm, Catholics, you deviant old thing, you

Legend says that Bacchus appeared to the dying Sergius as an angel, telling him to be brave because they would soon be reunited in heaven.

While the pairing of saints, particularly in the early Christian church, was not unusual, the association of these two men was regarded as particularly intimate. Severus, the Patriarch of Antioch (AD 512 - 518) explained that, "we should not separate in speech they [Sergius and Bacchus] who were joined in life". This is not a case of simple "adelphopoiia." In the definitive 10th century account of their lives, St. Sergius is openly celebrated as the "sweet companion and lover" of St. Bacchus.

:♥: The Evil Devil Child and the Perfect Gift by who_la_hoop
NC-17, ~16,500 words
Pairing(s): In no particular order – AS/S/Draco, Harry/Scorpius, AS/S, H/D and all four boys together.
Summary: When Scorpius Malfoy – Legilimens-extraordinaire, perfect son and all-round kinky little bastard – discovers that his father harbours a certain fantasy involving Harry Potter, a submissive attitude and a priceless antique dining table, he sets out to make his father’s dreams come true. And if succeeding in his mission involves putting up with a naked, willing Albus Severus? Well, that’s a price that Scorpius will just have to pay.

“What would you like for Christmas, father?”

“Harry Potter on his knees before me,” Draco said, flinging down the newspaper onto the dining table and glaring at it. “Have you seen this, Scorpius?”

“Mmm,” Scorpius said, swallowing a mouthful of cereal. “On his knees, you say?”
( NWS quote, ctd. )

:♥: A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by hollycomb
NC-17, Scorpius/Various Potters (ultimately, AS/S)
Summary: Outraged after a tell-all book defames his family, Scorpius decides to have his revenge by seducing every member of Harry Potter's immediate family -- including Harry himself, and his wife -- and writing a tell-all of his own. Things go swimmingly at first but rather off the rails toward the end.

hollycomb called this crack. If it is crack, it is GENIUS crack.
I actually like Ginny here. And Unrequited!H/D = fun.

Or, lilian_cho's Christmas list

1. The inevitable HP crossover in which Merlin is the DADA professor and is having a tumultuous affair with Snape. (It's like Snarry with a reverse power struggle!) ((Not that I like Snarry))

2. The one where Albus Severus Potter is visited by the Slash Dragon (no lie!) and told to raise hatchlings with Scorpius Malfoy because it is Their Destiny.

3. James Sirius Potter is the reincarnation of Prince Arthur because it is not enough that he was named after two dead people, nope.

4. A Good Omens crossover in which Crowley eggs on Uther to execute Merlin, and Aziraphale was too busy improving Geoffrey of Monmouth's library to help.

5. The one where Merlin has iridescent ejaculate--because of the high magical content, see?--and that's how Arthur finds out he's magical, haha (Smallville fandom has 'em--why not Merlin fandom?)

*. In Which the Metal Bunny Mask on Gaius' desk is possessed by an evil spirit! >=D (a la Donnie Darko)

Go and aww over the picture! =DDD

For my "Golden Strand" drabble, re-posted below. (Don't you hate thinking up titles for drabbles?)

---

"Nooo! Not my golden hair!" Scorpius clutched at his braid as if Draco was about to cast Crucio instead of a simple haircut charm.

Draco blamed his wife for letting their son wear his hair long ("But he looks so pretty, dear.") He had not pressed the issue since Scorpius was tutored at home.

But now the boy was going to Hogwarts, where the last male student with long hair was none other than Lucius Malfoy.

Draco sighed. "If you keep your marks up and become a prefect, you may grow your hair down to your arse with my blessings."

1. "Golden Strand" (Draco and Scorpius, PG, 100 words)

My first (and only?) permutation of Scorpius with golden blond instead of white blond hair. somigliana is to blame for my Scorpius-with-long-hair kink ;-)
(I do have a vague universe in my head for this Scorpius, but it won't be written for a loong, loong time yet.)

Below are a few of the fun, unclaimed prompts:

#52. Draco is in love with Harry but Harry is and will remain straight (or same for Remus/Sirius).

#54. Veelas need to find their mate or die. Draco Malfoy is a veela and his mate is Harry Potter. He chooses to die.

#58. Harry Potter: Two characters are stuck in a Groundhog Day-like time loop. They don't solve it by having sex/falling in love.

#17. General (any fandom): A prophecy is made that two characters will fall in love. They don't.

(X-posted @ LJ)

Remember those old skool H/D fics, where the boys get into a not-quite-healthy relationship (because everything's so intense and so quick), and Lucius and/or Narcissa intervenes and pulls Draco out of school, and everyone around Harry is not-so-secretly relieved, and Harry soldiers on, only half-living his life?

So OotP rang the death knoll for those, but now we can relive it again through AS/S!

Go read hollycomb's This Year's Love!
(AS/S, R, complete)
Summary: Scorpius Malfoy is outed during his fifth year at Hogwarts, his older boyfriend flees the scene, and Alby Potter takes a special interest in the scandal.

This Year's Love: Winter I - II - III
This Year's Love: Spring I - II
This Year's Love: Summer I - II - III - IV
This Year's Love: Fall I - II - III - IV - V

I love everyone's characterizations here, inc. the Malfoys, Albus' dorm mates and Hugo Weasley. The part of the story where the boys are still in school is my fav. =)
I have this sudden urge to write Alby ♥ Cory 4eva somewhere...

An eight-year-old ran around chasing fairies away from their comfortable perches on the honeysuckles. The boy's cheeks were stung red from the wind, and the face beneath flyaway blond hair was gleeful.

“Be careful with their wings, Scorpius!” Draco called out as his son darted behind a birch tree.

Draco thought their move away from Britain was for the best. He had wanted to give his son a happy childhood sheltered from ugliness.

There were hardly any boys Scorpius' age in this secluded Wizarding community. But surely that's better than being spat on in Diagon Alley for being a Malfoy.

“Scorpius, don't touch that!”

Scorpius retracted his hand. “Is it another cursed book, Papa? Grandma said you shouldn't leave them lying around.”

Draco raised an eyebrow at his son's bossy tone. “I bet Grandma also said good little boys shouldn't snoop around their father's study.”

The six-year-old pouted.

Picking the book up with reverent fingers, Draco said, “A...friend left this for me. The notes he penned between these pages are invaluable.”

Scorpius’ eyes rounded. “Does it have all sorts of brilliant hexes and curses?”

Draco smiled. “Tell you what—I’ll let you read it when you receive your Hogwarts letter.”

I'm having so much fun writing different permutations of Scorpius. Atm I have at least three, ahaha. It's harder to write different Albuses though--I keep on getting stuck with his stupid parents.

Eugenides currently owns my devotion <333 Those who haven't read Megan Whalen Turner's Thief series: Read eeeet. Also, in the third book you don't need slash goggles to ship Eugenides/Costis X-D Ahem.

I had this icon before the LJ strikethrough/bold 2007. It was part of an icon post on Broken Glass. Also: Why does society reward people for their lies and crimes? D: (Huge Book deals)

This icon pretty much sums up my feelings on JKR's treatment of Harry and Draco. Draco = James = Ginny = loud bullies who's the center of his/her friends' attention.

Harry/Ginny's too Oedipal for my taste. If Rowling had Harry and Ginny bonding over being possessed by the Dark Lord, I would've bought the pairing. But she didn't, so DO NOT WANT.

James...I don't dislike him as much as Sirius. But sorry James, if you have lived Harry would've been a more gigantic prat. So I'm glad you died.

Draco...I find all his "My Father" posturing/insecurity too bloody cute <3 Also Draco/Pansy is so much a poser couple that I just find them endearing X-D

Luna is possibly the only canon female character that I like, aside from Narcissa. I liked Hermione until she pulled that centaur thing on Umbridge. I liked Ginny until she said "I've always loved you, Harry *limpid eyes*" I liked Tonks until she moped around in HBP not because O HAI her cousin DIED but because Lupin spurned her one true love OMG.

...anyway, there's only Luna left. It helps that the actress that plays Luna made her look like Lucius Malfoy's love-child lolol.
