Rickman
Pics&Fics Guardians 2009
"Rickman-pics-and-fics", a Yahoo fan group, had an Alan Rickman film or theatre
character as its "guardian" every month.
GUILT
An AR characters get-together - of sorts.
Pics&Fics Christmas challenge. December 2009
HANSI'S LAST CHRISTMAS
We're rapidly approaching Christmas and Hans Gruber was German.
So, what more appropriate than a Gruber filk to the tune of "Stille Nacht"?
Hans Gruber Guardian Challenge. December 2009
SISTER ACT
I'm no good with pop music, so this is more "inspired by" than real fan fic.
If it isn't just plain vanilla romance, why are they in that car in the middle of the night?
And the video was made in the UK, but for some reason it gave me an American story.
Sean the In Demand Video Guy Guardian Challenge. November 2009
MAID MARIAN'S MERRY RIDE
This month's guardian positively begged for a filk ballad.
(Inspired by Sheena's funny caption of George and Marian.)
AU, obviously. And PWP.
George of Nottingham Guardian Challenge. October 2009
MEPHISTO NIGHT
Hans Gruber wakes up in the middle of the night and has a German conversation.
(I don't guarantee that this will make any kind of sense if you haven't read the novel "Mephisto".)
Instead of an Eamon de Valera challenge: the meeting of two AR characters. September 2009
QUALITY OF PAIN
Getting the tattoo had hurt. There is pain that time heals, and then there is
the other kind.
Phil Allen Guardian Challenge, August 2009
THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE'S
GLOSA
"A discerning friend of mine," said Don Quixote, "was of opinion
that no one ought to waste labour in glossing verses..."
He ought to know... but I do it anyway, to celebrate the long awaited release
of "The Half-Blood Prince"
Severus Snape Guardian Challenge, July 2009
A GHAZAL HARBOURED IN THE
DARK
The deed was done, they were together. And then...?
David Weinberg Guardian Challenge, June 2009
AN AMERICAN MIRACLE
Dr. Blalock was a real person and may have relatives still living, so I keep
him in the margin.
The question is, how do you pay for a miracle?
Dr. Blalock Guardian of the Month, May 2009
VILLANELLE OF THE
ELUSIVE JOHN GISSING
John Gissing Guardian Challenge, April 2009
THE MAGNETISER'S WIFE
Plenty of emotion, some smut, almost PWP.
Franz Anton Mesmer Guardian Challenge, March 2009
SONNET TO MOURN THE DEATH
OF TYBALT
Tybalt Guardian Challenge, February 2009
THE MAN FROM HERO LAND
An "Obadiah Slope: what happened next?" fanfic.

Miscellaneous
Severus Snape fan fiction:
MAGIC
The only condition in which Severus accepts affection.
By way of a long-distance hug to a musician friend.
BASSO CONTINUO
Severus' birthday challenge 2010
If he had survived, Severus would be 50 in 2010.
Sequel to "Burning", won't make much sense if you haven't read that.
A "song fic" of sorts: to Bach's Mass in B-Minor.
A HANDS-ON LESSON
Hurt/comfort, another Afflicted!Severus story - my first without an OC.
The potions class accident may be the most tired, worn-out old fan fic plot
device of them all. So of course I had to have a go :-)
With sincere apologies to Poppy Pomfrey for not noticing her as a grown-up
character in her own right until the "Half-Blood Prince" film.
Warning: NO smut. NO romance. NO resurrection. (July 2009)
A HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Severus' birthday challenge 2009
THE MORNING AFTER THE
NIGHT BEFORE
