author's notes: this started as a true drabble with the prompt voyeurism (here's the original version) for hd100@lj. i really didn't like the abruptness of it, so i made a longer version. This one also uses a prompt from my 100quills@lj table. Inspired by this gorgeous v. NWS you-better-be-of-age-to-click-on-this-link pic by eloriee.

author's notes: written for 100quills@lj and the lovely lusiology (who asked for more). this is the last of the loosely connected fics that make up the locked series (it will make more sense if you've seen the previous bits). the starting fic, locked inside, is gw/dm (though really it is actually more gen than relationship). i wrote it towards the v. beginning of my hp adventure, and part way through i became enthralled with h/d. it rather shows in the one scene between the boys in the fic. also, the fic pov switches per scene between draco (who is fighting a curse) and ginny (who is waiting for him to get better). so, I'm keeping with that format. and yes, I know it's march. and yes, i did start this during the appropriate season.

i can't believe i finally managed to finish one of these fics i've had half done for months. yays. comments are a nice thing.

i offered drabbles to a couple of folk that did well in guessing my movie meme-age. i've finally written them. the first is a different fandom (as requested) and the second is h/d. they are pretty much quick scribbles. my brain wasn't working its best today.

Also, i ended up having to watch the majority of Pleasantville again to remember how it all went. [*headdesk*]

the big reveal happend over at hd_inspired@lj for the mpreg fest. i had a bear of a time with my fic, and not just because i'd been given rurounihime who i worship. with the help of the lovely pombagira i came up with a premise, but i had to wrestle it around for so long that by the time i'd got something going i only had time to write the first bit. it can stand alone, but i offered to continue if ru and others wanted, and they did. i'm not sure how long this will be or when exactly the next part is coming out, but for now...

Author's/artist's notes (if any): written for hd_inspire's mpreg fest for rurounihime who asked for a little angst and realism, DH epilogue compliant, happy endings, jealousy and towheaded children (her full request). Ru, I hope this hits some of those likes. Title comes from The Ballad of Tam Lin. Bunny for the mpreg details was lovingly offered by my friend pombagira. A huge thanks to earth_magic for her brainstorming when I was stuck, to my super speedy beta coffeejunkii (with additional beta'ing by earth_magic) and to dragon_charmer and lusiology both for arranging the fest and their undying patience with my chaotic life and writer's block.

author's notes: this was dashed out for maya/mistful's merrymonth celebration lj for her bday and wonderful success with her original novels. her writing has brought so many such joy for years, it is wonderful to know that even more people are going to get a chance to enjoy her talent. i've blatantly stole her universe from Coda to an Epilogue: Twenty Years Later, Or The Kids Are All Right (part1, part2, part3), i hope i do it justice.
