author's notes: this was written for the verse on the comm hd_365@lj that has daily postings by a select group of authors. this is an odd little piece and hopefully it will work for you all. it's less about the prompt (tenderness) and more about the other author's work. of the six drabbles in this set, ii. is based on cutecoati's queen of spades, v. on rurounihime's epiphany and last but not least, vi. is from lusiology's defeated and in deep water.
also this is unbeta'd and i am shattered. please let me know if you find something that is amiss.

author's notes: this was written for the verse on the comm hd_365@lj that has daily postings by a select group of authors. this is an odd little adventure, the bunny being one of persistence, despite its strangeness. the story kept morphing as the amazing women before me posted such great pieces. hope this little one doesn't disappoint. it obliquely refers to plum crazier and plum crazy. unbeta'd cause i'm on a long weekend and just didn't have myself together enough to manage.

author's notes: this was written for the verse on the comm hd_365@lj that has daily postings by a select group of authors. um, this didn't come out as i intended. for one thing it was supposed to be mostly colour and smut, and then the boys got all plotty, and then they wouldn't go back to the smut, they just wanted to fade to black. please don't hate me. also thought it was going to be longer. unbeta'd because it's 2.40am, and who am i gonna get to beta now? promise to do better next time.

as everyone and their friends have mentioned, the master list for the hd_remix@lj was put up today, which means i can tell you what i already suspected. flamewarrior wrote the beautiful shriven (a remix of my first ever hp!fic love lasts).

and here is my remix

title: ghost in the attic (the confession: i must have loved you remix)
rating: PG
paring: harry/draco
Word count: ~1840
summary: post-war. Draco wonders about Harry.
warnings: minor character death
disclaimer: This story is based on characters and situations created and owned by JK Rowling, various publishers including but not limited to Bloomsbury Books, Scholastic Books and Raincoast Books, and Warner Bros., Inc. No money is being made and no copyright or trademark infringement is intended.
author's notes: this is a remix of wildegirl_05’s Ghost in the Attic. i chose to do a standard remix theme and tell the story from the other’s POV (draco in this case). the thing that makes this a wee bit tricky is that draco isn’t actually in the original fic. Ghost in the Attic was inspired Sting’s song Ghost Story. i tried to keep this remix to the spirit of that song and the rhythm of the original story.
finally, i would not have been able to pull this off without the unending support of phenix_tears and coffeejunkii. one who brainstormed for hours and hours with me (and gives me unending support) and the other who kept me from giving up and encouraged and extended and beta'd in the 11th hour. thanks ladies.

comments are just like strawberries dipped in chocolate

interestingly enough, i seem to have come to the end of unexpected, that strange wee saga that has been growing from various weekly awdt prompts over at jamie2109's . every part has been prompted by one of the awdt's (though not all were done in the correct week of the prompt). so here is part 8, the final chapter (i believe anyway), that takes a tame little mostly G rated fic and flings it into nc17 (or maybe just hard R, i'm never sure about the breakdown on that). this is one of the few really smutty pieces i've written, so be gentle. from this weeks prompt "I have no idea." horrendously long for an awdt, but, oh well. unbeta'd cause i ran out of time since i am just under the wire, once again (unconscionable, really, for a piece this long. sorry 'bout that). anyway, without further ado - or wibbling- here is part 8:

part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5, part 6, part 7

( (by clicking on this link you assert you are of age to read NC-17 Rated fiction - 1540 word fic, unexpected (cont.), nc17, h/d )

i'm a bit wibbly about the v. end. hope it is okay. comments are good karma.

anyway, somehow in the midst of all that, i managed to actually use this weeks awdt prompt over at jamie2109's to write the next bit of the ongoing saga that is unexpected. every part has been prompted by one of the awdt's (though not all were done in the correct week of the prompt). this week's prompt is cocoa butter body lotion, which i didn't really think i'd be able to use, and then suddenly... so here is part 6, unbeta'd cause i'm just too lazy and am just under the wire anyway. not only that, but i am well over the 500 word limit. [*sheepish smile*]

part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5

( by clicking on this link you assert you are of age to read PG-rated fiction - 725 word flopsy, unexpected (cont.), PG, h/d )

i so should be asleep. comments are always appreciated.

so this is another bit in the odd little story that is unexpected. every part has been prompted by one of the awdt's over at jamie2109's (though not all were done in the correct week of the prompt). this week's prompt is my ego thanks you. so here is part 5, unbeta'd cause i'm just too lazy and didn't get it finished in time for that kind of hoohaw.

part 1, part 2, part 3 part 4

( 545 word flopsy, unexpected (cont.), G, h/d )

[*wibbles*] am not sure this one is up to snuff, but hopefully it'll pass.

this one was also brought on by an awdt prompt from jamie2109's lj. we're all going to die. again, unbeta'd because it wasn't supposed to get this long, and even though it did, i can't be asked to impose on my buddies.

without further babble, i bring you unexpected, part 4 (in which i continue in my latest trend to abuse draco)

part 1, part 2, part 3

( by clicking on this link you assert you are of age to read R-rated fiction - 725 word flopsy, unexpected (cont.), R, h/d )

comments are always appreciated, especially on bits like this that are different than what i usually do [*whimpers quietly*]

i started this back when i was headed to twh and had just done the first to pieces of unexpected (part 1, part 2) based on two successive weeks of the awdt prompts. that week's prompt from jamie2109's awdt was i want it all, and i want it now. so i bring you, part 3 of unexpected (unbeta'ed because it was supposed to be a drabble, it just got out of hand).

( 735 word flopsy, unexpected (cont.), G, h/d )

comments are always welcome. there will be at least one more part to this, then we'll see where it wants to go from there.

anyway, managed to finish this week's awdt in between everything else. this week's prompt (brought to you by jamie2109) is it was a summer rain. by popular demand, i am continuing last weeks drabble, unexpected. once again, i think i'm just in under the wire.

( 500 word drabble, unexpected (cont.), G, h/d )

anyway, my fabulous beta readers, thrihyrne and the lovely ms. a, have done their job, and so i have for y'all a little ficlet. it is essentially my musings on the nature of love. take a gander and tell me what you think.
