Fluff:

 

 

1. Valentine's Day - Round 1 (heart)

"Draco?"

"Yes, Harry?"

"You spent the night."

"That I did."

"I'm glad."

"Me too. I think I'd like to do that more often, if you don't mind."

"I don't mind at all. This is nice."

"Mm-hmm."

"Happy Heart Day, Draco."

"Happy Heart Day, Harry."

 

2. Valentine's Day - Round 2 (strawberries)

"What's this?" Draco asked as he entered Harry's kitchen.

"Happy Valentine's Day." Harry smiled innocently as he revealed the strawberries, whipped cream and chocolate on the table. "Dinner is at your favourite restaurant, in about an hour. This is dessert."

"Mmmm ... how about we take this into the bedroom, and have it as an appetizer. Then we can have each other for dessert again later."

 

3. Valentine's Day - Round 3 (frantic)

"Marry you?" Harry asked, dumbfounded.

"Yes, Harry, I want you to marry me," Draco said with a smile that looked a bit uncertain. He was so sure Harry would say yes. But now,

His reverie was interrupted as his boyfriend tackled him to the floor. "Yes! Yes, Draco, I will marry you." Their kissing went from slow and purposeful to frantic very quickly.

Breaking free from his fiancé, Harry waggled his eyebrows at Draco. "How's about that Valentine shag you promised me earlier?"

 

4. Rainy day #1 (romantic, lampshade, mardi gras beads, pins)

Harry never ceased to be amazed by his romantic boyfriend. On this rainy day, he had arranged for a lazy day inside, and had told Harry he had a surprise for him. He just had to wait. Easier said than done. He knew it had to be something big, so he was waiting on pins & needles to be called into Draco's office.

"OK, you can come in now. Tell me if you see anything different."

Harry walked in, to find a world map hanging on the wall. Pins marked several places all over the world that Harry recognized as places he had told Draco he wanted to go. Beneath that, mardi gras beads were draped over the lampshade.

"Ready for a trip?"

 

5. Rainy day #2 (romantic)

Harry was pouting, because he and Draco were supposed to be on a romantic picnic, but the rain had washed away all their plans.

"Harry, would you come in the drawing room, please?"

Harry's heart missed a beat as he entered to find that his boyfriend had set up their picnic in the drawing room instead. "I love you."

"I love you too, Harry."

 

6. Teddy bear (frankly)

"I don't believe it!" Pansy laughed.

"Well, frankly I don't care what you believe," Draco replied haughtily. "I'm buying it, and that's all there is to it!"

"But ... but it's a teddy bear! And you're a Slytherin!"

"Too right you are, Pansy. I'll get this lion and this snake too. Harry will love them!"

=============================

Crack:

1. Send in the Clowns (balloon, enamoured)

"You look absurd, Potter."

"Yes, well, I hadn't noticed," Harry shot back. "What with the red nose, rainbow wig, and this ... this ... ridiculous balloon, I thought I looked quite dashing!"

Stifling a laugh, Draco drawled, "well, you did lose the bet with the weasel, and it is his son's birthday. I understand he's quite enamoured with clowns."

 

2. Childish #1 (joker, lampshade, mardi gras beads, pins)

"Don't be so childish," Draco whispered to Harry.

"What? Seamus wore the lampshade last night."

"Ever the joker, Potter. All you need now are the mardi gras beads."

Argghh! The author was not impressed. How the hell can I fit pins into this ficlet without it sounding so contrived? Oh ... well ... look at that! Heh.

*facepalm*

 

3. Childish #2 (temptation, lampshade, mardi gras beads, pins)

Unable to resist the temptation, he dares Draco ... he double-dog-dares him to go up to Snape and tweek him on the nose. Of course, not one to back down from a challenge, much less a dare, Draco agrees. BEFORE finding out what Harry had planned.

"What kind of childish prank is that?" Draco pins him with a look that could kill.

"The kind that you already said you'd do."

"But -- "

"Ahem - and I quote here - 'if you can walk around with a lampshade on your head, wearing nothing but mardi gras beads, Potter, I can handle anything you can dish out."

 

4. Childish #3 (mug, lampshade, mardi gras beads, pins)

"What's that you've got there, Colin?"

"It's a mug. It's part of my new line of merchandise," he said with childish glee.

"Let's take a look, then," said Ron, snatching it out of Colin's hand.

"Oh God!" He looked carefully at the mug, and there was a picture of Harry, clad in a lampshade and mardi gras beads, and nothing else.

He went to the notice board, and pulled out all the pins holding the order forms. "You can't sell these!" he said incredulously.

"Why not?"

"The ferret will kill you."

 

5. Childish (gossip)

"So. What's the gossip today?" Lavender asked, as she plopped herself down on the sofa in the common room.

"Harry. What else?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean he's not on the cover of the Prophet, but now he's on mugs." He nodded towards Colin.

Ron watched as a look of amusement crossed her face. "Serves him right for being so childish!" she said. Then realization seemed to dawn as her face fell.

"Of course you know that Draco is going to kill you, Creevey."

 

6. Scary movie (stop, bomb)

"Harry, don't go in there alone!"

Wtf?  "What do you mean?"

"What if there's a bomb in there? Or worse - zombies?!?"

Rolling his eyes, he took his boyfriend's face in his hands. "Draco, honey, would you please stop watching scary movies while I'm away?"

===================================
Angst:

1. Break-up (frankly)

"Frankly, Draco, I don't give a shit what you want!"

"Yes, well, you've made that perfectly clear. Perhaps what I don't want is you."

"What did you say?"

"You heard me. I'm leaving. I'll pick up my things tomorrow when you're at work."

Before Harry had a chance to even process what was happening, Draco had apparated out of their flat. Out of his life. Merlin, what have I done?

 

2. Song (Gryffindorks, lampshade, mardi gras beads, pins)

Draco sat listening, with a barely concealed smile beneath his lips. Harry was fidgeting as though he were on pins and needles.

Blaise was carrying on about the stupid Gryffindorks and their stupid party. "I mean, what's up with the lampshade and mardi gras beads Seamus was wearing? He looked like an idiot dancing on the table"

"So why did you bother going?" Harry snapped at him.

"Because your boyfriend here wanted some Slytherin backup, of course."

Harry, unimpressed, left the Great Hall and his boyfriend behind.

 

3. Song (needs)

Song: Pain, Without Love by Three Days Grace

Right now, as he looked out at Draco's retreating frame, all he felt was pain. He had thought it was enough - the pain of insults, punches, angry sex. Gods, the sex was great! For a while, it had met both their needs. But it was all without love. And in the end, that just wasn't enough for him.

 

4. Touch (trembling, touching)

It was all Harry could do to keep his trembling hands from touching his boyfriend. But he knew the power of that curse. Oh, Voldemort had got his revenge, alright. He was laughing from his shallow grave, as Draco could not withstand the pain of a simple touch.

=================================
Smut (well, pre-smut anyway):

1. Bet (trembling, lampshade, mardi gras beads, pins)

While the lampshade hadn't been all that attractive, Potter wearing nothing but mardi gras beads had been more than he could take. He had bet his boyfriend that he couldn't do it. Stupid bloody Gryffindor! Of course he did it. While Creevy almost wet himself, sitting on pins and needles and trembling, just waiting for Harry to be rid of his clothes. I may have to hurt him someday.

"Oh, Draco ... I'm ready to collect!" Harry called. "Where's that blow job you promised me?"

 

2. Leather (crazy, touching)

"Oh my GOD, Harry!"

"You like?" He actually heard Draco gulp.

"You're going to drive me crazy in that leather get-up you're wearing."

"Why yes I am, lover. Now you - in the bedroom - now!"

As Draco made to grab Harry's arse on the way down the hall, he got a slap for his troubles. Harry answered his scowl. "There will be no touching by you." He leered at the blonde. "That's my job tonight!"

==============================
Limericks (fluffy):

1. Draco

There once was a boy who was blonde,
Who looked ethereal in the dawn,
He fell in love with a boy,
Who brought him such joy,
That together the boys formed a bond.

 

2. Harry

There once was a boy with black hair,
Who fell in love with another quite fair.
At first there was hate,
Each other they would bait.
But in the end, for each other they cared.

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed.

[hapendfro.livejournal.com]

YOu are so amazingly talented. I bow at your feet, totally.

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

*glomps*

Thanks! Soooo sweet of you.

I bow at your feet, totally. Arise!

Carry on ... ♥

Okay, I have to admit I have no clue what hd_boardgame is but some of these are so great!

I especially loved clown!Harry and the Draco limerick. *giggles* I just might have to frame that and hang it on my wall for days when I'm feeling sad and depressed. Or better yet, turn it into a greeting card and send it to myself. Oh, how pathetic is that!

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

OMG ... hd_boardgame is awesome! It combines a boardgame (I luv boardgames) with writing (you land on squares that tell you to write a drabble gen/angst/fluff/crack/smut) and the H/D ship (since it's all about H/D). There are also squares that tell you to rec (ff/fa/fv) or quote (ff/canon books), so you can find goodies that way too. And then there are "doodle" squares, which provide amusement (I REALLY can't draw). It isn't the BEST writing I've ever done (time-sensitive), but it's a lot of fun, and I'm just a wee bit competitive.

Thanks for the love ♥ - feel free to create a greeting card. *giggles*

[alaana-fair.livejournal.com]

It sounds like fun. Too bad I'm pants at boardgames! And yeah, I'll let you know how the card comes out! *giggles*

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Well, the boardgame itself doesn't contain a LOT of strategy - just enough. The key is in the writing. You should pop by for a visit next week.

BTW, I'll get you your fic back beta'd tomorrow.

[alaana-fair.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[kurla88.livejournal.com]

Awwww. So cute.

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Thanks ♥

[charmed310.livejournal.com]

I love how you mary-sued yourself in there...

And this "The ferret will kill you." was priceless!

I wish my muse was as fruitful as yours... I can't even write on real paper anymore...

*needs new laptop, needs new latop!*

Limericks were kyoot :D

*hugs*

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Thanks darlin'.

If it makes you feel any better, my W/I muse isn't cooperating. Backstory is done, but the rest isn't flowing. Ahem ... I didn't see an entry from you there yet either. Hmmm ...

Shhh ... don't say the "L" word! Mine is still dead in the corner. Can't find the operating system disk that came with it, so ... *wibbles*

Later - J. *squishes*

[flowergurl4675.livejournal.com]

Aha, these are so great. I especially love the Teddy Bear (frankly) one. ♥

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Thanks. The hd_boardgame is always fun to play ... and it challenges me (to write quickly, to write all genres, and to *gulp* draw).

Glad you liked. ♥

[lackofmendacity.livejournal.com]

Ahahahaha! More limericks! *hugs*

Your fluffy drabbles were very funny too, you realise... Err, does 'Heart's Day' really exist?

Crack is LOVE!! Childish #1 (joker, lampshade, mardi gras beads, pins) was a hoot. But, umm... what are Mardi Gras beads? *ashamed*

Mmmm... pre-smut was hot! That was a brilliant series of reads. See what I mean about you being on writer's Viagra? *grins*

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

You're funny. *hugs you back* Yes, well, I can write poetry about anything (silly, funny, angsty, whatever) ... I often tell my kids to give me a prompt and 20 minutes, and voila!

"Heart Day" is just what I call it. I also call Thanksgiving "Turkey Day." Just some silliness ... and the prompt was "heart," so it fit.

Mardi Gras beads are handed out at Mardi Gras, often for doing something ... er ... questionable (like women flashing their boobs). I have never been to Mardi Gras (New Orleans), but those were the prompts for bonus points.

Glad the pre-smut was hot ... I'm much better at that than smut smut!

See what I mean about you being on writer's Viagra? Well, the boardgame really brings out my competitive nature, and you need to write a drabble when you land on each square that tells you to write ... and I have lots of competition this week (grrr ... a newbie beat me last week ♥) so I'm sorta determined not to let that happen again so soon. Wish me luck with that!

*smooches* Thanks for reading & commenting.

[lackofmendacity.livejournal.com]

Mmm... I call it 'Hallmark Day', but Turkey Day sounds very amusing. :D Thanks for explaining about the Mardi Gras beads, it sounds very err... inspiring. *winks*

You sound like you're having fun with hd_boardgame, I think I'll pop off and have a look... (wallop the newbie, I say!! *fistshake*)

Gah! The rules list is so long!! *laughs*

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

The game itself isn't as complicated as the rules make it appear. Lots of the stuff (spells, enchantments, etc.) are new, and I'm the only one that seems to have embraced them, trying to use them before losing them. So ... the game was virtually played without them - just everyone moving around the board & writing, like it was before the new rules.

Join in next week, seriously! I keep welcoming people into the Gryffindor lion's den ... which, by the way, there's still plenty of room in ♥

[lackofmendacity.livejournal.com]

Yes, shall be interested in joining, but give me one or two weeks for RL to die down a bit. (sorry!)

As for Houses... I beg to differ, you Gryffs are doing fine. I noticed even the mod commented on the excess of lions. *grins*

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Sweet - I can't wait! I understand the RL thing ... I probably won't be as prolific with my writing for the next little while, either. Then again, I just keep "making" time by reducing sleep. (I think I'm starting to pay for that, though).

And yes, about the houses, I know. That's why I said that I keep welcoming people in. But, really, it is a BIG lion's den! Lots of room! We were outnumbered by the snakes for a while there ... I was on my own & very lonely for weeks.

Ravenclaw & Hufflepuff could really use players, I have to admit. But I (and my fellow lions) won't turn anyone away from the lion's den ... seriously ♥
