I owe swedish15 a drabble, and was given a choice of two prompts. I kinda combined them; hope it works for you. If not, let me know & I'll write you something else. *g* Double drabble. Ron/Pansy, dancing, though not necessarily ballroom, and I did most of the words. Second word has to start with B. Third word with L. 23rd word with O. 32nd word with W. 55th Word with J. 69th word with O. 99th word with B. Didn't work in the bonus.


The bright lights circling the pavilion dimmed. Pansy hesitated before letting Ron take her hand and lead her out onto the floor. Only for a moment. She had already known this was coming, that they would have to dance together in the spotlight tonight, but she was still nervous. Something about this made her jittery. She wasn't worried about how competent a dancer Ron was, because the two of them had danced together under the stars the night he had proposed to her. She wasn't worried about everyone watching, even though she still didn't like the way she blushed when she felt people looking at her, as if they could see right through her to the scars and the scared little girl inside.

No, she was nervous because this made everything feel real. This was the crowning factor, more defining than the vows of their bond, of the ritual kiss in front of their friends and his family -- her family now, too, she had been reminded by all of them at one point or another. From this day on, she was a Weasley. Once, she would have laughed herself sick at the thought. Now she couldn't imagine anything better.

I still haven't finished packing. *sighs* I hate this. Any of you wanna come keep me company while I pack? You can transcribe my ideas for me since I can't pack and type at the same time...

The ex-dumbass was supposed to come pick up the boys this morning. Okay, so maybe it's only something after 1 now, but still. He said morning; I expected morning. Kept the boys home from church because of it. My brother wants us to go to the creek and cook out; I'll give the ex a little longer before we do. Oh, but my baby brother is bringing his girlfriend to meet us, so I really can't miss that. *g*

I'm supposed to be writing for de. And I wrote something after I started speechless at the screen for a bit. But all weekend I've been suffering from the "I suck at writing" attitude, even though I know it's not true, so I'm not sure about it.

irisgirl12000 is to blame for me wanting to do the 7dschallenge. I've talked to a couple of you about this, and about what I want to write, but what do you think? Should I do it?

OH! And I figured out my two_of_us_fic! Now I just need to find the time to write it. *g* My hpslashnotsmut too.

Fic recs: (sorry, all SPN today. I have some HP recs, but I need to sort them out and see if I can find alternate links since I know not all of you are registered on OWL)

ladyjaida, of shoebox_project fame in the HP fandom, has joined up with blondiusmaximus to bring us nine_kinds, a series of stories set in between episodes of Supernatural. And there are awesome pics included. The first installment is After Michigan, and hopefully there will be more soon.

In Want and Sympathy by iamstealthyone
Gen fic, five parts, I'm pretty sure that emella recced this and I got it from her, but I could be wrong.

Illegal in Fifty States by fatale
Wincest, Dean/Sam, R
I just finished reading this one and I loved it! I can't really explain why. Maybe because I love how Dean is portrayed, because there's been too many ficlets I've read lately where he just ends up too girly for me. But whatever the reason, you should go read it anyway.

Down the Line by rachel_shanz
Dean/Sam phone sex
I *love* when an author pulls off dialogue-only fic. *g*

Porn with Paisley Wallpaper by merepersiflage
7600 words of smut, A jealous Dean leads to sex, sex and more sex. Dean/Sam

And for any of you Wincest fans who somehow missed the MMoM fics by beren_writes, please do yourself a favor and check them out. I can't rec just one, so I'll link you to the tag on beren_writes's lj.

And last thing: Don't forget to go and make a request or three for slashfest! I'll make mine when I get home, but the more requests the better! Some of the fandoms over there could use more action...
