Word Count: 1419
Content/Warning(s): mentions of wizarding world sexism/misogyny, character study, world building, trans femme Arthur, supportive spouse, trans positivity, happy ending
Summary/Prompt: Arthur doesn't know why he loves watching Molly cook. There's something about cooking that makes Arthur wish he could be more like her. He's always felt this way but as he's gotten older those feelings have only become more persistent and confusing.
A/N: Much heartfelt gratitude to my beta. Thanks so much for the prompt "Arthur comes out as trans later in life" which inspired this fic. ♥

Salt and Pepper Fest: the frenemies' guide to beekeeping

Title: the frenemies' guide to beekeeping
Author:

porcelainheart3
Characters/Pairings: Draco/Harry
Rating: M
Word Count: 5693
Content/Warning(s): No Archive Warnings Apply;
Inspired by Sherlock Holmes, Case Fic, Beekeeping, Honey, Smitten Harry Potter, Older Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy in Glasses, Older Draco Malfoy
Summary/Prompt: Harry gaped, speechless. Then he gave it two seconds of thought and pulled himself together. "Oh. Andromeda told you."

"On the contrary, Potter." Malfoy wiped his hands with a tea towel from over his shoulder. He nudged his glasses up his nose with one long finger. "I have spent the past thirty years in the study of human nature, psychology, and criminal investigation. Not to mention Muggle methods of fingerprinting, forensics, even 19th century physiognomy." He paused, and the lines at the corners of his mouth creased sharply. His eyes glittered. "...And also, yes, Andromeda told me."
--
An ode to Sherlock Holmes featuring one recently retired Magipathologist, one sharp-tongued beekeeper, and purloined case files from the DMLE that are absolutely none of their beeswax.
A/N: Prompt #41 envisioned H/D growing old a la Sherlock and Watson. "Retired, and now keeping bees, they get their grandchild to steal cold case files to solve from their rocking chairs." Teddy plays the role of case file courier in this fic. Features many nods to short stories from the Sherlock Holmes oeuvre. Any spoilers for those stories are heavily disguised in HP clothes. I hope you enjoy it, prompter!

Thanks a trillion to E. for the britpick/beta.

She never expected her near-death to be what units her ragtag family.

Rating: PG
Word Count: 5,387
Content/Warning(s): Threesome M/F/M discussed
Summary/Prompt:
Prompt: M11 (Multiple Pairings): They've been together for decades, and decide to open their relationship.
Summary: Harry and Ginny Potter live in a cottage in Hogsmeade. The previous owner was their eldest son James Sirius Potter, but he now lives in the home he grew up in, 12 Grimmauld Place. The switch happened years before, when his third child came along, and the cottage was too small for the family and Grimmauld Place was too large for his parents. How Draco Malfoy fit into his parents lives he wasn’t quite sure. James did know that his brother and brother-in-law were the instigators of the situation, though. When they became friends in the House of Slytherin, eventually their parents did too. After the death of Astoria, Draco was known to bring a friend, always a different friend, to family occasions. Then after a decade or so he would just show up alone. When his parents moved into the Hogsmeade cottage, so did Draco Malfoy.
A/N: Thank you A for once again for betaing and britpicking. And M for the alpha read and further betaing. Both of you are treasured.
Also, thank you Mods for hosting this fest. It is fun to write for and is even more fun to read the stories it produces.
