Title: Claiming Ro

Characters: Rodolphus/Rabastan
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Incest
Kinks chosen: Bloodplay
Word Count: 2186
Summary: Rabastan has a problem—with his brother’s marriage.
Author's notes: As soon as I saw the prompt, I knew I would be doing this. Very noisy character telling me in no uncertain terms that he wanted to tell this story. I wouldn’t have managed it without the help of wolfish_cat, who is not only this Rab’s Ro, but also agreed to let me write this scene, which we had roleplayed a few times before, helped me come up with a beginning, and even betad the finished product for me. Love you, sweetie. And thank you. :)

Title: Brotherly Love
Author: elfflame
Pairing: Rodolphus/Rabastan, others mentioned
Rating: PG13 for a kiss
Summary: What the Dark Lord commands, his followers can only hurry to obey.
Word Count: 1036
A/N: Inspired by eeyore9990’s piece And They Danced by the Light of the Moon, which set off my Rab, and he wouldn’t shut up until I wrote this. Based off my version of Rab, though a bit more realism than I usually allow him.

Rab's been loud in my head this week--in a different way than usual.  So, a little drabble I wrote for a writing community I'm part of based on the prompt "Violin." Intimations of Incest and slash, but very PG


( Music of Life )

So, I watched Camelot as played at Lincoln Center on Thursday, and it's buzzing around in my head now.  Honestly?  I wasn't overly impressed by most of the cast, and I was personally offended by the fact that my favorite character was played by someone I can't stand, but that's just me.  There was one specific stand-out--Mordred.

I should say here, that I never saw the play version, just the movie.  And so I don't know how much was part of the original Broadway version, and which was changes for a modern audience or to fit the stage.  But it does mean I'd never heard The Seven Deadly Virtues, because it's not in the movie.  Rab has decided that it's part of his soundtrack.  It's strange how many of his songs are bouncy and upbeat if...creepy.

But back to Mordred...the costume they had for him was just great fun, and the actor who did him was definitely a joy to watch.  I've only managed to find a few pictures of him in the play, both with Fran Drescher.  Picture one and Picture two.  I seriously wish I could find more, because while the outfit was outlandish, I do think it would be the coolest thing ever to use them for a PB.  Not that I have any clue who the PB would be used for... :P

Someone is awake, and wants me to write this, so I will.

Title: 20 Things You Should Know About Rabastan Lestrange
Rating: M
Warning: Incest and chan mentioned
A/N: Compiled from all the versions of Rabastan I've played with this last year and a half or so...

( Lestrange the Younger... )

So...this is something I've been meaning to re-do for ages now.  But especially since the move to IJ in August.

My number one priority in fandom is, has and always will be, fic.  Writing it, and still occasionally recing it.  I post the 13th of every month to daily_deviant, and participate in random fests here and there.  And, on great occasion, I write something just because it desperately has to get written.

Modding -
I am an editor at potter_prophet, which I contribute to each Sunday.
I mod the asylum blaise_zabini, which accepts all fic, art, icons meta or other entries having to do with the dark-skinned Slytherin.
I also mod hp_nano, which is a gathering place for those in the HP fandom participating in the yearly NaNoWriMo Challenge in November.

RP -
I co-mod the game founders_legacy, where I play Draco and Blaise.
I also RP in a slightly different form at rp_bad_boyz as Rabastan and Blaise.
And there's also still an older Draco in my head who snuggles with K's Harry.

Then there is true_revenge, which foodie and I have been slowly posting all our stories that started with a simple little idea I had about how Lucius might have proposed to Narcissa.

And shadowhunt, which is the beginning of a pseudo-rp surrounding an idea foodie had where Hestia Jones starts up a bounty-hunting agency after the war.

Then there's something that's not strictly fannish, but which I haven't mentioned in my journal until now--writing_linkz.  It's nowhere near complete, and probably never will be.  It's invite-only to join, but anyone is free to watch.  Mostly, it's a place where I stash links that I think will be helpful in my writing.

Daily Deviant fic done.  Haven't even thought about next month's, but I'm totally focusing on HD Cup fic for now.  Don't even have 1000 words yet, but I will beat the two of them (okay, Draco) into submission if its the last thing I do. :P

Saw Across the Universe.  Hubby bought it before we'd seen it, which isn't something we do often, but we'd both wanted to see it.  I'm a huge Beatles fan, and so I was very excited to see what they'd done.  It's amazing.  If you like them, or the period, find a copy and watch.  There are flaws, yes, and it's definitely not for everyone, but it is very well-done.

Rab has been very loud of late.  I'd say unnacountably, but I know exactly why.  His brother and his son.  He's just about to pop, and he's drowning out even Draco a lot of the time.  It's...creepy.  He is not a nice person.  At all.  And if anyone needs proof I can do dark...  Just let me know.  I'll post about his little outing in my head last night. :P  *shudders*

snapesgirl_62  - got the package.  They're gorgeous. :D  Thank you. *snugs*

I want some memes to play, though I really should be writing.  Anyone have any good fannish-style memes?  Preferrably character-based?

But I have an excuse!  I just got back from vacation! :D

Name five songs (or whole playlists, if you want to get ambitious) that you associate with particular fictional characters.

So...I was listening to my player at work while I made this list, and some are better than others, and some charries have more than others, obviously...

Rabastan:
1. I Can't Decide by Scissor Sisters "I can't decide/whether you should live or die/Oh, you'll probably go to heaven/Please don't hang your head and cry/No wonder why/My heart feels dead inside/Its cold and hard and petrified..."
2. Sympathy for the Devil by GnR or by the Rolling Stones "Please allow me to introduce myself/I'm a man of wealth and taste/I've been around for a long, long year/Stole many a man's soul and faith."

Severus:
1. Solitaire by the Carpenters (though if you can find the If I Were a Carpenter version, I like that one much better...) "There was a man, a lonely man/Who lost his love through his indifference/A heart that cared, that went unshared/Until it died in his silence"
2. This Boy by the Beatles "That boy/Took my love away/He'll regret it someday...."

Draco:
1. Tears of the Dragon by Bruce Dickinson "Where I was, I had wings that couldnt fly/Where I was, I had tears I couldnt cry/My emotions frozen in an icy lake/I couldnt feel them until the ice began to break"
2. Bring Me To Life by Evanescence " How can you see into my eyes,/Like open doors?/Leading you down into my core,/Where I've become so numb./Without a soul."
3. Going Under by Evanescence "Don't want your hand this time/I'll save myself"

Remus:
1. Down by Suede (no video, sorry) "Theres a sadness in your eyes, theres a blankness in your smile,"
2. Fear by Sarah McLachlan "But I fear/I have nothing to give/I have so much to lose/Here in this lonely place/Tangled up in our embrace/Theres nothing Id like/Better than to fall/But I fear I have nothing to give"

Sirius:
1. Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy by Queen "Ooh love ooh lover boy/Whatre you doing tonight hey boy?/Everythings all right just hold on tight/Thats because Im a good old fashioned lover boy"
2, They by Jem " Who made up all the rules/We follow them like fools/Believe them to be true/Don't care to think them through"
3. Under the Scottsman's Kilt - this one's not so much a song that *is* Sirius, but one that I think he would have loved to death.  No lyrics on this one because of it, but feel free to look it up if you'd like.


That enough? :D

Because I want to make a certain someone melt allllll over the place. :D  She knows who she is.  (and because he's still a loud SOB, even when I threaten him with death.)

1. Choose a Harry Potter character. (It doesn't have to be your favorite character)

2. Try to think of how many different versions, personalities of this character, going by how they look like. (For example, a rock star, a sports star...)

3. Supply photos and explanations for said people.

I'm going with thepinkrabbit's version of this one...  She just did Draco at different ages.

I think some people will know where I'm going with this...if the tags and icon don't give it away. ;)

Title: Entreat Me Not to Leave You
Author: elfflame

Rating: NC-17 liek woah
Summary: Rab spies on his older brother and his bride-to-be, and gets caught.
Warnings: Incest, bloodplay, dub-con, angry!sex
Kinks chosen: Leather, outdoor sex, and knives (yikes!)
Word Count: 3164
Author's notes: Blame wolfish_cat for this one. As soon as I showed her the list of prompts I had to choose from, she and Ro gifted me with this bunny. I’ve never managed to write these two in a fic before, just RP, so this is…experimental. Hopefully in a good way. I think. Or as good as it can be with these two… Title taken from this wedding vows website. A bit sappy, but… eh. It works. Huge thank yous to both wolfish_cat and ceria for all the help with this. It’s a far better fic than I likely would have come up with without their help.


( There is no moral precept that does not have something inconvenient about it. – Denis Diderot )

This list is opinionated, selective, subjective, and will likely never be complete.  That said, I am also ALWAYS open to suggestions on the characters listed here. :)  Who do you like/use/have seen used for these characters?

Starting with my pups, in order and by game:
( Blaise Zabini )

( George (and Fred) Weasley )

( Padma (and Parvati) Patil )

( Draco Malfoy )

( Remus Lupin )

( Severus Snape )

( Rabastan Lestrange )

Wow...looking at all that...I think I'll stop there.  I do have opinions on other characters.  Just...those are the ones I've played, and therefore feel strongest about.  Maybe I'll do a second bit at some point.  Mostly I just needed the distraction.

Gacked from a couple of folks on my flist, because I love this sort of meme:

1. Comment to this post with the name of a character that I have written in fic or RP.
(Blaise, George, Padma, Draco, Remus, Severus, Rabastan, Silas Burns (Youngest Hobgoblin), Corin Lupin (Au younger half-brother of Draco)
2. I will comment telling you the following:

a. What initially prompted me to like the character enough to write about him/her.
b. One of his/her best traits.
c. One of his/her worst traits.
d. How easy/difficult I find it to write the character.
e. The story/chapter/paragraph/phrase where I feel that I truly captured the character.
f. My plans (if any) to write the character in the near future.

Gacked from all over my Flist:

List all the characters you play in various RP associations, and those who reply may ask whatever questions they wish of the listed characters. Replies will be in-character to those who reply.

my pups:
Blaise Zabini (post-war)
George Weasley (post-war)
Padma Patil (post-war)
Draco Malfoy (post-war)
Remus Lupin (marauders years)
Severus Snape (marauders years)
Draco Malfoy (early 90s)
Severus Snape (early 90s)
Rabastan Lestrange (early 90s)
Silas Burns (Hobgoblin - early 90s)
Rabastan Lestrange (marauders years)


Erm...that's all, I think.  Go at it. :)
