Fic post: Lachesis Lane. Worksafe.

Title: Lachesis Lane
By [info]cluegirl
Rating: gen, this part. Later, who knows?
Pairing: Snarry
Wordcount: 1000
Disclaimer: No profit, no claim to ownership, no harm done.
Story Notes: You're getting this as it appears, I'm afraid. All improv, no planning, and the devil take the hindmost. It's the first of several vignettes I mean to write today, so technically it's a WIP, but I'm not going to put 'tbc' on every segment. Because I don't wanna, that's why. This is, as I daid earlier, in honour of [info]ter369's birthday.
Feedback: Yes please!

We Shine Like Stars. (Fic, GW/LL, SS/HP, NC17 -- 7/7)

Title: We Shine Like Stars 7/7
Author: Cluegirl
Type: Fiction
Length: Novella -33,000- words This part, 5000 words.
Main character or Pairing: Ginny/Luna, with a side of Harry/Snape. Personally, I consider this story just as much a Snarry as it is G/L. Hopefully, you'll agree.
Rating: NC17
Canon compliancy: Shooting for Epilogue compliance. Yes, you did read that correctly, and I think I managed it as well, thanks!
Disclaimer: All HP characters are the sole intellectual property of JKRowling, whom I am not. Therefore, I make no profit from this use.
Warnings: Graphic descriptions of childbirth, but aside from that, it's pretty vanilla.
Summary: Harry is not the only one who must struggle for a sense of self against the expectations of others; Ginny's dreams are heavily mortgaged too. It takes a brush with tragedy to alert her to the very real possibility of losing all, if she does not take matters into her own hands.
Cards Drawn: The Empress, the Ace of Swords reversed, and Strength.
Card Interpretation: The Empress -- satisfaction, a competent woman spinning the future from the present.
The Ace of Swords, reversed -- Words, or the threat of them, used to destroy. A silence that is destructive. A refusal, or inability to speak up when words are needed
Strength -- Power, energy, a calm and soothing conviction. Fearlessness.
Author Notes: Thanks to the League of Extraordinary Betae: [info]jenna_thorn, [info]emessann, [info]amanuensis1, and [info]kaiz. And also, my plot doctor, the ever-patient [info]aquila_dominus. I have decided that posting this story one section at a time will probably make it easier on my readers, but please be reassured, this is no WIP. The story is finished, and you'll see all of it, just at the rate of one section every couple of days. If you get impatient, and want to read the whole thing in one go, you can find it at [info]hp_tarot, or at my Skyehawke account. The title of the song, and the verses used at the chapter heads come from the song Bullet, by Covenant.
