Misc. new and new-old stuff, posted at AO3 over the last month:

-- Chapters 2-6 of A Bit Too Much Good Work, in which most of the major plot strands are set up, and this story finally passes the Bechdel test. Damn, I'd forgotten how confusing and complicated longfic is to write.

-- A couple of spinoff ficlets set in the same general universe, The Fast-Penta Test (young!By, helps if you've read at least one of the others first) and Loyalty (even younger!Rish, stands alone). The latter, I note, is the first thing I've written in this fandom that doesn't have any Vorrutyers in it. I am one-track and predictable.

-- A revised version of Out of This House, my old Tonks-kills-Bellatrix fix-it fic, now tweaked a bit to be more or less Deathly Hallows-compliant (to the extent, obviously, that a "what if" AU can be anything of the sort).

Going to Chile with my dad for a couple of weeks, starting tomorrow. It will be my first time in South America. Should be fun!

I'm afraid this is more of a short epilogue than a proper chapter, but at least I finished it! Prior installments can be found here.

( Act 5: Explanations )

At last. See here if you want to catch up on past events. Plus, this installment has bonus Hamlet / Ophelia!

( Act Three: The Watchers )

At last, the long-delayed third installment of the Daftest Crossover Ever. Parts One and Two are here. Basically, what you need to know is that a young Severus Snape has drunk a Plothole-Plugging Potion, landed in the sixteenth century, and is now happily wandering around Europe saving characters in various Shakespeare plays from themselves. In the last installment, he met Helena, a young French witch who is now definitely NOT in love with Bertram, and Diana, a Florentine who invited him along to Verona for her cousin Juliet's wedding.

Summary: Snape meets Romeo and Juliet. (Almost) everybody lives.

( Four Funerals and a Wedding, Act One )

Wait, hp_summergen reveals have taken place? Whoa, when did that happen? Anyway, my entry is Dear Alastor, written for cranberry_crash.

Also, some new post-DH fic, very rough and really more of a ficlet, but I swore I'd write at least one story in the Year After-verse a month, so here I am squeaking in just before my self-imposed deadline. George, Verity, May or June 1998.

( The Year After: Taking Stock )

Previous installments are here. Special thanks to yma2 for Sirius' joke and thunderemerald for Peter's. (I think that is right -- if I have mis-credited either, let me know.)

( Who ever heard of a werewolf with fangirls? )

First, a totally unrelated fic rec: Beautiful Days by naomisketchpad. The story of the women in Tom Riddle, Senior's life, Merope and Cecilia -- both wonderfully fleshed out from the handful of hints we get in canon.

Second, look what I learned to do! Correspondence Course, all together in one place!

( Me Tarzan, You Owl. )

Consisting mostly of letters and a very long knock-knock joke.

Part One.

( I have enclosed a week's supply of alfalfa and some instructions for a simple birth control spell )
