Fic Claim: Every Cottage Has a Story
I participated in hp_goldenage's Salt and Pepper Fest 2022 this year. The theme of the fest is that the Main characters have to be over 50. So I picked the prompt: a many decades established couple brings in a third.
The multi-pairing is Harry/Ginny/Draco and is told from James' POV. And as one of my commenter's said, James inherited Harry's obliviousness. LOL It's short (short for me: 5K), low rated, and very fun and warm. I had so much fun writing it!
Every Cottage Has a Story on AO3
Snippet from story is below!
“Okay, Mum. But it still doesn’t make sense and you know it. None of this has made sense since he moved in with you and Dad. I remember he was sullen after Astoria died for quite a few years and then he dated all of the time.”
Ginny barked out a laugh. “Yes, he had someone new at each event. That was just sex, James, not love or companionship.”
“So, did he give up or something?” James asked. The whole conversation he found baffling. He wanted to talk about his dad and why he was retiring. Not about Draco Malfoy, even though he was the one who brought his name up. He knew he was the one with the problem regarding Draco and maybe that was because he was the oldest. He’d heard more stories when they were fresh, and when his mother’s family talked more freely about those times. He knew why Uncle Bill had scars on his face, why Uncle George still had bad days, and why Aunt Hermione had a rose tattoo on her neck. He never blamed Scorpius, but Draco was a different story. He had the Dark Mark. He’d been one of them.
“Or something,” Ginny said and let go of his cloak. James frowned.
“What the hell does that mean?”
“Don’t talk to me like that, James Sirius!” Ginny replied sternly. “I’m sorry that you haven’t noticed what’s slap-bang in front of your face. You’re like a Muggle not seeing magic.” James sighed deeply and shook his head.

Writcraft’s 2018 Fic List
Now that Erised reveals are up, I can finally post my fic list of 2018 and do one of those summary memes I’ve been dying to post. Better late than never!
2018 was a year of faltering muses then writing in quick, intense bursts of inspiration. When I look back on 2018, although there are one or two works I’m not overly satisfied with, some of the things I’ve written are personal favourites when I reflect on the fanfic I’ve produced over the years. I’m going to answer some yearly evaluation questions, but here’s my list of 2018 fics and as a self-contained post. This list doesn’t include ficlets posted on Tumblr only.
Number of Fics Written in 2018: 36 if you count the 10 chapters of my Festive 500s that published in 2018. The final 10 of those are going up in the next few days too, I promise.
Total 2018 Published Word Count: 341,000. Although 31,000 of that total includes a co-write, we edited each others words too and worked on the fic as a whole together. I have also underestimated how much I wrote on LLM this year and not counted some drabbles and tumblr ficlets, so I think this total is about right.
Most Written Pairing:
Harry Potter Fandom: Harry Potter/Draco Malfoy
R1 RPF / 1D: Nick Grimshaw/Louis Tomlinson
Fests (Moderator): Harry Potter Kinkfest, Harry Potter Horror Fest, Harry/Draco Big Bang, Grimmy Appreciation Fest
Fests (Participant): Secret Snarry Swap, HD Erised, HD Fan Fair, Sirius Black Fest, Harry/Draco Big Bang, HP Femslash Minis (November Challenge), Harry’s Birthday Mini Fest, Drarry Discord Rare Pair Challenge, Snarry-A-Thon, HP Goldenage, HP Horror Fest, HP Kinkfest, Tomlinshaw Exchange, Grimmy Appreciation Fest
The full list of the fics I published on AO3 are below the cut.
HARRY POTTER FANDOM
Harry Potter and The Bisexual Awakening written for @hd-erised
Harry Potter/Draco Malfoy | 23,186
Harry is perfectly content being single, heterosexual and living in Godric's Hollow with his very clingy rescue dog, Snitch. When Draco Malfoy turns up on Harry's doorstep demanding that Harry teach him how to drive, things quickly become a lot more complicated.
In The Palm of His Hand written for Secret Snarry Swap
Harry Potter/Severus Snape | 6,969

Slice of Life written for @hd-fan-fair with art by @phoenixacid
Harry Potter/Draco Malfoy | 16,300
Luna and Ginny are worried about Harry, Greg is a very a fine baker, Snape’s portrait has a lot of opinions and Draco Malfoy is (probably) up to something.
In which one man’s love for jam tarts blossoms into a different kind of love entirely.
Winter of ’79 written for @siriusblackfest | Little Compton Street Series
Sirius Black/James Potter | 17,000
Post-punk Britain is in the grip of another brutal winter, Thatcher is in power and Muggle gay bars keep getting raided for no reason at all. Sirius just wants to find somewhere to go drinking with the best mate he definitely doesn’t fancy. When they’re directed towards a tatty Soho sex shop during a night out, neither James or Sirius expect to find a magical street that will change their lives forever.
Little Compton Street (One Rainy Night in Soho) written for @harrydracobang with art by @llap115-reblogs | Little Compton Street Series
Harry Potter/Draco Malfoy | 65,500
Draco is lonely, Harry hates the press and it won’t stop raining in London. Harry discovers a magical street that’s close to disappearing forever and Draco realises he’s one rainy night in Soho away from finding everything he’s been searching for.
Independent Love Song written for @hpfemslash-minifest

Treading Water written for the Drarry Discord Rare Pair Challenge

I’m sorry, Sirius wants to say. I’m sorry people in this stupid world made you think loving me could only ever be a joke.
Ten Points to Gryffindor written for the Drarry Discord Rare Pair Challenge
Harry Potter/Severus Snape | 2,000
Harry is of the opinion that using a desk solely to mark papers is a wasted opportunity. He decides to take up the matter with Severus.

Wil and Min reminisce.
Potterzine written for Snarry-a-Thon
Harry Potter/Severus Snape | 11,000
When Severus Snape finds a fanzine with a picture of Professor Potter in a compromising position with Draco Malfoy on the cover, he confronts Potter about the offending literature. Severus probably should have looked inside, because it turns out some of Potterzine’s writers have a different suitor in mind.
Not Even A Little Bit
Harry Potter/Severus Snape | 2,000
Harry is asked to investigate Severus Snape. This isn't going to go badly at all.
Maybe Just A Midnight Rendezvous

Lonely Without Him (Everything Changes But You)

Don’t Stop Believing
Remus Lupin/Sirius Black, Implied Sirius/James Potter and Sirius/Remus/James | 1,800
Sirius looks up at Remus and he’s close enough that Remus could count every one of his eyelashes, if he wanted. He drinks in the glint in Sirius’s eyes, the lazy curve of his smile and the light shadows under his eyes.
RADIO ONE RPF / ONE DIRECTION FANDOM
Stuck In The Middle (Of Nowhere) With You written for @tomlinshawexchange
Nick Grimshaw/Louis Tomlinson | 10,500
Nick throws a party at Soho Farmhouse's new Yorkshire retreat, to celebrate his X-Factor victory.
He didn't anticipate getting trapped in the middle of nowhere with rival judge Louis Tomlinson, who's a terrible duvet thief and a surprisingly good kisser. Not that Nick's been thinking about that last part for the past three weeks. Much.

Little Lion Man
Nick Grimshaw/Louis Tomlinson | 123,600
It’s his final year at Hogwarts, and Louis can’t wait to leave for good. He hates being in Gryffindor and he can’t even enjoy a smoke with the Slytherins now his best mate Zayn’s fucked off to Durmstrang. Louis would be completely miserable if not for WWN and Nick Grimshaw. As Louis tries to negotiate coming of age, homophobia in the wizarding world and his growing feelings for Nick, a new evil emerges which puts Louis and Nick in serious danger. Louis is about to learn exactly how brave he can be as he finds himself fighting for his life, his friends and everything he’s ever loved.
