Reveals have gone up at [community profile] hp_goldenage so I can finally claim my Ron/Hermione fic that I've been wanting to write since last year's fest! I ended up claiming a different prompt in 2020 but this one stayed in my mind and I figured I'd revive it for 2021! I love this pairing though I rarely actually write them, so this was fun to play around with. :D


Title: holding on to me so tightly
Author: [personal profile] gracerene
Pairings: Hermione/Ron, past Ron/Lavender & Hermione/OCs, background Harry/Ginny
Rating: Explicit
Word Count: ~3,600
Content/Warning(s): mention of past character death, widower Ron, hurt/comfort, drinking, past relationship, getting back together, sofa sex, vaginal sex
Summary: Ron and Hermione dated when they were younger, but they'd each been dealing with too much and wanted such different things from life to make it work. They'd remained best friends for decades, and that was fine... Until a couple glasses of wine brought them together again.
Author's Notes: I saw this prompt for the 2020 fest and immediately got this plot bunny, but the timing just didn't work out. Thankfully, the fest returned in 2021 and I had another chance to write it! Lots of love to the mods for continuing to run this fest and to [personal profile] malenkayacherepakha for beta!

The Anonymous Masterlist has gone up over at [community profile] hp_goldenage and reveals are tomorrow, so I definitely recommend checking out what's on offer! It was a relatively small fest this year with a large variety of pairings, so there should hopefully be something that appeals to all! All the fics are under 10k, so it's also a great chance to maybe read a pairing that you wouldn't normally be drawn to. :D

[community profile] hp_goldenage is still open for claiming for their 2021 fest! Submissions are due in one month on February 15 and, as always, there's a ton of variety in the prompt list! But, if nothing appeals or if you have a plot bunny you'd already like to write, they also accept self prompts!

I've been doing my best to do what I can to sort of keep up with HP fests and continue reading and supporting in fandom. Having less time, less inclination, and being far more particular about my likes than I used to be makes this a challenge, but I've still found work that I've really enjoyed! Sort of a hodge-podge of fests--some stuff from [community profile] hp_goldenage, [tumblr.com profile] hpconsentfest, & [community profile] dracotops_harry--and pairings, which is all pretty representative of the wide breadth of my reading interests. :D

Reveals recently went up over at [community profile] hp_goldenage, which means I can claim my unusual submission! It's pg-rated het for a suuuuper rare pair, but the heart wants what the heart wants! I don't even know where this came from, but I really wanted to write for this fest, and for some reason this is the prompt and scenario that called to me. Link is below if you want to give it a read, and if it's not quite your cup of tea, I highly suggest checking out the final masterlist as there were all kinds of pairings and fics to choose from!

Title: The Request
Author: [personal profile] gracerene
Pairing: Kingsley/Luna, background Hermione/Ron, past Kingsley/OFC
Rating: General Audiences
Word Count: ~2,300
Content/Warning(s): mention of past minor original character death, established relationship, permanent injury
Summary/Prompt: Prompt C22: Kingsley Shacklebolt is retired from the Ministry and enjoying the peace and quiet. But then the Minister of Magic, Hermione Granger, comes to him with an important mission that she believes only he can undertake. Will he do it?
Author's Note: Thank you so much to the prompter for the lovely inspiration, to the mods for brilliantly running this awesome fest, and to [personal profile] capitu & [personal profile] firethesound for being the best betas I could ask for! <3

Just wanted to post a quick promo/reminder that posting is still happening over at [community profile] hp_goldenage and [community profile] hpkinkfest! I've been (slowly) trying to catch up on the posts, and there are some really lovely works that could use some love if you've got some time to spare. Both fests have a huge variety of pairings to choose from, so there's almost certainly sure to be something that tickles your fancy! :)

I've got fics in both fests, and though I can't speak to my Goldenage submission since the fest is anon, if you're interested in some Harry/Ginny pegging action, you can check out my kinkfest fic, here!

In case you missed it, prompting is OPEN over at [community profile] hp_goldenage! It's an open pairing HP fest with the only requirement being that the fic must revolve around characters/pairings that are 50+ years old. It's honestly one of my favorite fests, as there isn't a ton of content with older characters, and there are so many cool & new things you can explore. Personally, I love coming up with common tropes and thinking about ways those tropes might work similarly or different with older characters. ANYWAY, it's tons of fun and you don't need to plan on claiming anything to leave a prompt. I'd love to participate this year if a prompt grabs me, so I selfishly would like ALL the prompts to choose from. :D Check out the prompting post below!

Reveals have gone up over at [community profile] hp_goldenage, so it's time to claim my fic! I really wanted to participate in this fest, because it's well modded, has a fun and unique theme, and it's open-pairing, and there are fewer of those fests out there these days. Unfortunately, I really, really struggled with this one. My writing muse has been quite depleted these past several months, and RL was pretty hectic for awhile there, so I was genuinely thinking I might have to drop from a fest for the first time ever. In the end, I did manage to produce a little something, but I'm not quite happy with it. The pairing I chose probably didn't help, as I really, really struggle writing Severus for some reason. OH, well. I'm happy I was able to participate, and especially happy I was able to contribute a rarer pairing, as there was a lot of H/D in the fest, and I'm really feeling rare pairs lately.

If you didn't keep up with the fest, I definitely recommend checking out their masterlist and looking through the options. Drarry fans will find plenty, and there was a nice mixture of rarer pairs as well. I particularly liked this Minerva/Severus fic by [personal profile] torino10154, this Pansy/Hermione fic by [personal profile] human_veil, and this Ron/Harry fic by [personal profile] evandar! You can also check out my fic, linked below. You know, if you want to. :D

Title: A Good Night
Author: [personal profile] gracerene
Characters/Pairings: Draco/Severus, mention of past Draco/Astoria
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~5,000
Content/Warning(s): frottage
Summary/Prompt: The last thing Draco expected at fifty was for a childhood crush to reappear with a newfound ferocity.
A/N: Thanks to [personal profile] capitu and [livejournal.com profile] amorette for all their help and to the mods for running this awesome fest!

[community profile] hp_goldenage is such a fun fest, and prompting is currently open for the 2018 run. It's a multi-pairing fest, and as long as all parties in the pairing are over 50 years old, anything goes! There are always a lot of really amazing and interesting fics that come out of this fest, and I have a blast coming up with prompts, since in some ways, playing with older characters allows you to explore different themes and issues. Anyway, you all should totally head on over to the comm and leave all of your wonderful and creative prompts so there are plenty of options to choose from come claiming!

The masterlist for [livejournal.com profile] hp_goldenage went up yesterday, and I figured I'd rec some of my favorites from the fest. It's not a huge fest by any means, but I like that it makes things a bit more manageable. The quality is excellent and there are a number of different ratings and pairings to pick through. I'm just reccing a couple of my absolute favorites, but I really recommend checking out the masterlist for more amazing works. It really is a wonderful fest. :D



Title: Inevitable
Author: [livejournal.com profile] llaeyro
Pairing(s): Harry/Ron, past Ron/OCs, Ron/Hermione, and Harry/Ginny
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~4,000
Content/Warnings: Auror Harry, *my prompt, [livejournal.com profile] hp_goldenage 2017
Summary: "Ever since their divorces, Harry and Ron have been closer than ever. Really, really, close."
Such an enjoyable read! I loved seeing Harry and Ron's relationship as older men, and how an evolution in that relationship would affect them both. A lot of wonderful details here and just a really great fic.

Title: Settle
Author: [livejournal.com profile] mindabbles
Pairing(s): James Sirius Potter/Teddy Lupin, minor James/OMCs and past Teddy/Victoire
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~9,300
Content/Warnings: dirty talk, Auror Teddy, Cursebreaker James, implied switching, [livejournal.com profile] hp_goldenage 2017
Summary: James has never wanted to settle down – or maybe he’s never wanted to settle.
Oh my goodness, this fic is just fantastic! You don't often get to see the HP Next Gen as older men/women, which made this fic an extra delight. James was wonderfully characterized here, and I loved seeing how deep his and Teddy's relationship was after decades of friendship. It really added an extra layer to things when the got together, and the whole thing was a complete delight!

Title: Night Changes
Author: [livejournal.com profile] writcraft
Pairings: Draco/Harry, Harry/Ginny, brief Harry/OMC
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~10,600
Content/Warnings: first time, desk!sex, bottom!harry, bottom!draco, switching, rimming, auror!harry, [livejournal.com profile] hp_goldenage 2017
Summary: Draco and Harry have spent years dancing around one another, but Potter’s straight and married. Until one day he isn’t.
Really gorgeous fic with a fantastically characterized Harry and Draco. I love how the tension between them remains so present through decades of Harry's marriage and his inability to really understand what he wants. When they finally do come together it's hot and passionate and just fantastic.
