The Library

I've been a very bad fangirl. I got the most wonderful fic and I didn't immediately start squeeing over it. Bad Cira! No spanking for you. Allow me to do some squeeing now.

SQUEE!!! :D

So, on August 28, I innocently started reading my friends list and saw my name on that day's hp_sas fic. It made me very happy because I was desperately looking for a good fic to read.

Then, there was the summary: Harry’s a natural Dom looking desperately for a sub. He is directed to a delightful ‘restaurant,’ where anything you crave is in the offing. But Harry isn’t sure his order, when it arrives, is what he actually wants. It’s up to Scorpius to convince him he picked the right dish. Harry resists, but who could say no to such a treat? No one, indeed. And me least of all. squeee!!

And then there were the warnings which totally should read enticements: D/s, semi-public sex, chan, dom!Harry, threesome (Harry/Scorpius/OC), cross-dressing, bondage, spanking, blow jobs, a little rimming, very brief mention of foodplay, partially-clothed sex. This had little Cira bouncing in her seat and half-melted into goo already. squeeeeee!!!

Afterwards, I needed about half an hour to write a coherent comment. Happy goo cannot write coherent comments, and I totally was happy goo because the fic is totally, absolutely brilliant. *insert incoherent squeeing*

It's hot. No doubt about that. Brain-meltingly hot. You saw the kinks, right? But it's more than that. It's got a little plot with a nice twist. It's got some angsty moments. It's got humour. And it's got some real sweetness under all the hot smut. Not fluff, but sweetness. I loved how Harry at first went to the restaurant for fulfiment of his sexual needs and eventually found fulfilemtn of his emotional needs as well. And the glimpses of Scorpius's emotions were lovely. Most of all I adored his reactions to Harry complimenting him.

Oh, and the idea of the restaurant? Brilliant! So much room for future playing. :)

The icing of the cake for me was finding out that the_con_cept had written the fic. Squee! I mean, how often do you get a wonderful fic tailored to your requests written by one of your favourite writers? I'm a very happy little Cira and I think I'll just go an re-read the fic. Again. (No, I haven't counted how many times I've read it so far. Often.)

Now you all want to read it as well, I'm sure. Right? ;) So follow me to Valentino's!

squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! ^__^

Reveals went up on Saturday, so here's the fic I've been slaving over. From all the fest fics I've written so far (*coughs*three*coughs*), this for some reason was the hardest to write. Though the smut was fun. And it reads okay. :)

Title: Curse-breaking and Dragon Tears
Recipient: lijahlover
Rating: NC17
Pairing(s): Harry/Scorpius
Age Disparity: (51/25)
Summary: This wasn’t what Scorpius expected to happen once he finally got the Head Auror alone, with nothing trying to kill them.

Warning(s): BDSM (as in bondage, D/s, spanking), rimming, a smidgen of angst
Word Count: 8,400
Author's Notes: lijahlover, your request gave me a wonderful plot bunny, but I had an incredibly hard time wrestling the story to the ground. First, Scorpius would not cooperate, and then Harry got away from me. I’m afraid, light BDSM has become something more like not-so-light BDSM. I really hope you’ll enjoy the story nevertheless.

Many thanks to awrence and the flic for the beta!

( The Affair )

After two weeks of almost non-stop reading everything I can get on the Harry Potter novels, I took today off to work on my hp_yule_balls fic.

Yes, I made progress. No, not as much as I wanted to. Worst: next comes the smut. And I feel so uninspired. Plus, I discovered that I have trouble writing dirty talk. It all sounds so awfully idiotic to me. Not good when what you go for is erotic. *sighs*

And probably the worst thing is that the bloody fic already is over 18k long! Without smut! Given that my smut tends to be long I should be happy if I manage to finish under 30k. I'm so doomed.

I can only hope my recipient won't mind a long, rambling fic with half the characters going off somewhere they were never supposed to go.

*si~i~ighs*

Okay, next step for the fic: get rid of family and definitely-ex girlfriend, get the boys alone (perferably in under 3,000 words), and then hope and pray that Muse will come up with something smutty.

Reveals for hp_summersmut are up, so I can come out and admit that I wrote Slytherin Love for ravenna_c_tan. I've been wanting to do so ever since I read her comment on the fic. I'd been close to panicking that she wouldn't like it, and then there was that comment, and guh.

As mentioned before, I squee'd and bounced in my chair for several minutes, I was so happy. Mum thought I'd finally gone round the bend.

( Some more rambling on this baby )

So now, onto the fic!

Title: Slytherin Love
Pairing: SS/DM, SS/HP/DM
Rating: NC17
Word count: ~ 27,900
Warnings: threesome (obviously), rimming; ignores most of DH
Disclaimer: All Harry Potter characters herein are the property of J.K. Rowling and Bloomsbury/Scholastic. No copyright infringement is intended.
Summary: There is a Potter-looking intruder in Draco’s home, and Draco thinks that Severus is a bit too interested in the mystery of the captive’s identity

Slytherin Love

Seen on the_con_cept's journal and copied immediately. ^-^


First line of last 25 fics you wrote and try to find a pattern.

Title: Dangerous Dark Artefacts
Rating: NC17
Word Count: ~ 8,900
Prompt: August = corn
Warnings: Three men having sex. Harry angsting over relationships. Also not beta’d, so probably rather confused and full of mistakes.
Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot lines (and even those really belong to Muse). I make no money from this, and mean no offence by any scene depicted within this story.
Summary: When Harry’s boss ordered him to Malfoy Manor to help Draco dispose of Dark artefacts, Harry had thought the job might be, if not enjoyable, at least doable. But these days, Draco doesn’t live alone, and Harry hadn’t expected what living with two Slytherins would be like.
Author's Notes: Written for LJ comm harrydracosnape's monthly prompt. It was supposed to be a short and smutty romp in the hay. But it didn’t want to be. Now, it’s a somewhat smutty monster that has precious little to do with corn. And it's got a stupid title.


( Dangerous Dark Artefacts )

Can someone please tell me that signing up for fests isn't a good idea? Because, you know, I don't have the time to write fanfiction. Please?

*twitch* *want*

Title: At the Ministry Ball
Pairing: Harry/Scorpius; mentions Harry/Ginny and other canon pairings
Rating: NC17
Word count: ~10,000
Warnings: underage (Scorpius is 16), open marriage.
Summary: The only redeeming feature of the night, Harry thought, was Scorpius Malfoy.
Author's Notes: Muse wanted Harry/Scorpius. I wanted a short, straight forward PWP. The end result isn't exactly short and rather tortuous but it has Harry/Scorpius and a little smut. Oh well.


( At the Ministry Ball )

Title: A Beautiful Plan
Rating: PG13
Word count: 410
Warnings: crossdressing
Summary: Written for harrydracosnape's monthly prompt. Prompt July: corset. Draco’s plan works beautifully.
Disclaimer: The characters all belong to J.K.Rowling.
Author’s Note: Pen + paper + thunderstorm – computer access = this fic. Not beta’d except by me.


( A Beautiful Plan )

Title: A Curse that Binds (Title subject to sudden changes)
Pairing: Harry/Ginny, Draco/Asteria, Harry/Draco
Rating: PG13 for now
Word count: ~ 3,300
Warnings: hints of infidelity; references to a seemingly paradoxical spell; not beta'd
Sumamry: When Ginevra Potter was sentenced to three months of Azkaban for using a forbidden spell, Draco seethed with fury.
Author's Note: I wanted to read a story with a very feminine Harry. I couldn't find one. Muse suggested I write one. At the same time, this is my attempt at an accidental!bonding fic.


( A Curse that Binds )

Meep. I was attacked by another bunny. joanwilder wrote in her journal about the prompts being up for round 10 of thematic_hp. And because little Cira is curious, she had to go and have a look. Big mistake. I found a prompt I liked - a lot - and started writing. Completely unplanned, just writing. All day long. Haven't even had breakfast yet - at 4:43 pm. And although I like my idea I hate my execution of it. As always.

I'd better go and eat something. And here I wanted to edit my hp_summersmut story today ...



It's #37, if you're interested.

This makes it the fourth year running that Passion has won in the category Best Lemon/Lime. It's totally incredible.

And a little embarrassing. Because Passion is such an old story and I haven't posted anything new for over a year! And I still win, even if only third place this year. I mean, hey, aren't there any new, hot lemony fics up? Or is this simply an attempt of Passion's loyal readers to prod me into writing more?

Whatever it is, it certainly cheers me up. It's only me who thinks my lemons are boring. That's good to know.

So. I finished my hp_summersmut story yesterday. Well, almost. I need one or two good sentences/paragraphs for the end, but I was so fed up yesterday I couldn't come up with anything not unforgivably cheesy.

Although I'm afraid it already is cheesy, and to avoid that I would have to delete the whole last part, which I can't because that would leave the story at a rather uncomfortable end and I don't want to do this to my recipient. Apart from that, I'm angsting over the smut - too long? too boring? I think it's both - the characterisations, the mood, and the overall question of does this bloody story make bloody sense at all???

*takes deep breath*

Yeah. That's me. My best friend called me self-critical. I wouldn't, but then, she's my friend. ^-^

So, I'd like to have someone other than me read the story. Not so much beta it - although if someone would offer, I'd be more than tnakful!! - but read it and tell me what they think. If the story makes sense. Even, perhaps, what I can do to make Draco behave the way I want him to. Or if time's short, not the whole 26,800 words but "only" the smut bit.

Just in case anyone's interested: it's slash, threesome, and graphic. Um. Please?
