AMOR OMNIA VINCIT

First and beforehand: Revelations by astolat is a WIP, but let me try to entice you anyway: it begins dire–with Thor's death, but as we know, in Norse mythology (in pretty much any mythology I know actually), death is not the end. When Loki announces that he is going to haul Thor back from the realms of the dead, the Avengers decide to accompany him: after all, it's common knowledge that Loki can't be trusted, right?

( Excerpt )

I LOVE fics in which the heroes are together in an adventure and have witty banter! (That goes for HP fics as well–I have a kink for togetherness!) :D

Before I began reading this amazing, crazy fic I didn't know, who Balder is. Or Viktor von Doom. Where I grew up, American comics were actually rare. Thank The Internet for Wikipedia though!
Five for Silver by K_dAzrael and TheHummingbirdMoth is one surreal, incredibly funny tour de farce.

First there is arch villain Victor von Doom, then there are five identical Loki clones who take a liking to Balder, Odin's second son (? Correct me if I'm wrong) and the real, original and very angry Loki who finds a new home at the Olymp.

So, if you like weirdness–this is the fic for you. And if you like good writing–well, perfect! And also, if you like your Loki so much you want to have five of them–here you go! :)

Apparently I am a newly minted Loki fan. It's good to have someone new to obsess over. My obsession with all things Harry Potter, Snape and Alan Rickman is unlikely to be snuffed out even by pretty Mr. Hiddleston, but at least it won't be the only thing captivating my slasher heart ;)

A quick rec before I shall retreat into my boudoir! (I should celebrate this actually because it's my first NON-HP rec!)


Red Ruin, and the Breaking Up of Laws by TheHummingbirdMoth is also a Mpregfic, so beware!

Having said that, it's fun! It's witty, surreal and playful. I am too tired to go into details and I also feel a little inferior to be honest so I just give you an excerpt here, yes?

( Let me entice you )

Despite the confusing header, the fic is finished, so it's not a WIP.

Go forth and readeth!

Dear unwritten Hawkeye/Loki-fic!

Shut up and stop writing yourself in my mind.

As the Americans say: take a ticket and get in line!

Job interview tomorrow at 10am and I can't sleep although I went to bed around 11pm.

Any good ideas to put me to sleep?

This is a delightful, short Snarry PWP!

Finish Your Veg by solvingfor42 entertained me greatly today!

(On LJ: Here!)

snape_draco is holding the Snape_Draco Fest 2012 and collecting prompts until April 30th. (I didn't find the time zone in the mod post but I strongly assume it's EST).

Still time to think of some prompts and leave them there :)

So. I've written Snack :)

Title: An Inconvenient Affair
Rating: NC-17
Summary: After a chance meeting at a muggle bar the two rivals manage to get drunk and fall into bed together. They agree on a "just sex" relationship but what happens when the walls start falling down and Sirius and Severus start actually liking each other?
Warning: I am very sorry, but there is no hate!sex. I'm a soft Snacker.

A BIG THANK YOU TO MY BETA miss_e ♡ (Deepest apologies, I confused my Betas!!!)
I changed parts after you returned the fic to me, so all remaining mistakes are mine!

Thank you to the mods of the Sirius Black Fest 2012! I am forever grateful to you for you organising this fest for Sirius Black!

( My Apologies )

I have been blessed this year! Another anonymous author took mercy on one of my prompts I left at the Sirius Black Fest 2012 and wrote a hilarious, sweet Snack. And it's Mpreg!

In Which Severus Snape Throws a Tizzy features a very flustered, overwhelmed and well, pregnant Snape. He can handle being a triple-agent, a Deatheater, a feared potion master–but being in love and being loved ... is just too much and he throws a tizzy!

Sirius Black is more dog than man, stubbornly loyal and affectionate, despite Snape's hissy fits. He reminds me much of a black large dog I once knew who was bossed around by a kitten not much bigger than his paw.

Try this cute fic if you need a pick me up. And even if you don't need one ... it'll still cheer you up ;)

This week saw some Sirius/Severus action, so I hope some of my fellow Snack lovers will find some time to peruse the art and the stories :)

I left a prompt at the Sirius Black Fest and a lovely "Anonymous" author (er, okay I do think I know who you are;)) picked it up and made so much more of it.

In Silence is beautifully written and heart-wrenching. Sirius Black is a dog but doesn't remember his human self, and in this state meets Snape again.

I loved every word, every line and I could not pick out my favourites if my life depended upon it. That entire story is my favourite now! (I love how some talented authors pick up my cheesy prompts and then sit down to write these amazing, perfectly crafted stories!)

( Let me entice you with an excerpt )

I want to write more about this, and gush more because this story deserves to be gushed about, but I fear my vocabulary isn't good enough. I only urge you to go over to the Sirius Black Fest on Livejournal and give it a try!

I'm late to the party so I hope there is still some vodka left over ;)

I can't give you what I actually planned to give you, because my timing and time management is abysmal so apologies for that!

Instead I had two visitors from an AU I happened to create in my brain.

Please applaud Harolde le Pottre (er ... sorry :D), a very young and promising sujet of the Corps de Ballet of the Paris Opera, and Severus Snaperovsky, celebrated Etoile of the Russian Bolshoi Corps de Ballet ;)

Snarry with the only Bottom!Harry you'll ever get from me :D (NSFW)

lederhosen recced Castle to me and being unemployed and bored I had no reason not to watch it :D

( Spoiler Alerts for Castle )

I committed FIC :)

It's for the hp_kinkfest and the pairing is Lucius Malfoy/Harry Potter.
( Do you even want to read my apologies? )

To say this is a fic rec is already insufficient–starduchess'
Trapped in Blackened Ways is poetry, not prose.

While it's usually the Malfoys and Delacours, who get to be seductive, unearthly beautiful Veelas, I find Veela!Snape very, very intriguing!

Despite the Veela aspect starduchess' Severus is so canon here! He is tortured, full of guilt, passion and longing–hiding his desires away. I felt with him through every line!

This feeling, ever present, waxes and wanes
like the lunar cycles that pull the tides
and turn the wolves; sometimes strong,
sometimes weak, like hunger in a severely
starving man; an ache in my skeleton
not remedied by tisane nor tincture,
not alleviated by enchantment nor artifact,
for the very fiber of my being is cause indeed.

It's dark, lovely and passionate–just like Severus! Beautiful!

secretlypadfoot has written a wonderful fic for my prompt I left for the HP-Kinkfest!

Sirius Black returns from The Veil without any memories of his former self and somehow Severus Snape finds himself at Grimmauld Place babysitting him. Sirius without his memories is not the mean-spirited brat we know–he's still an impulsive Gryffindor though. Snape still bears a grudge against his childhood nemesis and finally sees a chance to get his revenge.

This fic was so perfectly paced and the sex was incredibly hot and emotional as well! The author maintains such a great balance between plot, hothothot sex and heartbreak (I found myself sobbing in the middle) I promise you'll never get bored for an instant!

If you like Snack only a little bit–don't miss this gem! It has everything a classic Snack needs :)

Title: For Reasons Unknown
Genre: AU, Post-DH
Kink: Amnesia
Rating: NC-17
Content Notes/Warnings: None. Sorry.
Word Count: 18,143

And do leave the author your love, please, will you?

Hello my friends!

So, this year's Snarry Swap's Master list (sans reveals) has been posted. I'd love to read some hot or romantic or humourful Snarry right now. Could you girls rec me something nice?

I am working on a translation job right now and really need that distraction!

(The only caveat is that I can't really stomach Bottom!Harry fics. Versatile is fine, just not purely Bottom!Harry! Purely Bottom!Snape is fine on the other hand and very much encouraged :P)

Many, many thanks in advance!

My new hobbies/life-style changes

What are you up to? Any new hobbies?

Lovely Ladies!

Prompt-claiming at the FIRST SIRIUS BLACK FEST has begun and will go on until January 27th!

I would absolutely love for one of you, talented belles, to pick one of my ridiculous, squicky, crazy prompts and work your magic on it!

I didn't sell that too well, did I?

Once more then: Have no fear! Saner, less deranged people than me have left gorgeous prompts for every taste (Gen! Het! Slash! Threesomes!) which are waiting to be written by you!


sirius_black/Rules/Timeline

Any surprise here? (Of course, my second house is Slytherin. I did have to tweak that test after all to be sorted into Gryffindor :D)

All right I KNOW it's a little late to urge you to take part at the FIRST SIRIUS BLACK FEST now that prompting closes on Friday, January 13th 2012, which is ... today but I think you still have time to submit some fantastic prompts until midnight.

Dear old, new and hopefully soon to be friends,

In the last days I have friended a rather large number of journals. I haven't left comments or messages so apologies for that! Most of those I friended remember me anyway as countesszero :)

( This journal is mostly empty because I only activated it days ago. )

Hallo!

The following list is intended as help for writers who are taking part in the same fest/fic exchanges I do and are assigned to write for me.

I took the idea to compile a list with my likes and dislikes regarding fan fiction from my friends’ journals because I found it rather useful when getting an assignment myself. In at least one case it helped me to avoid a major kink the other participant had!

Phew!

Most sign-up forms will inform you that this list is not mandatory but I hope you get some ideas for your story here.

First and foremost: I LOVE Bottom!Snape! It's the only requirement I have! :D

( And now onwards to the list containing my preferences )

Dear friends,

Since I entered fandom in late 2009 I have always kept two aliases: The one I had until now was Countess Zero, which I always considered as my "original alias"–the other one is Caroline Lamb on Livejournal (which I only created after I had realised that someone else had taken the Countess Zero ID already).

Admittedly Countess Zero is not an overly original alias. If you google Countesszero countless (haha) results turn up. I don't know what I was thinking not to check beforehand.

I apologise for the inconvenience of friending yet another journal but I finally decided, this being a New Year, to abandon the Countess Zero ID and, so to say, fully embrace Caroline Lamb.
