A Ship to Wreck by FloreatCastellum

Rated: 6th-7th Years •
Summary: And good God, under starry skies we are lost
And into the breach we got tossed
And the water's coming in fast!

And oh my love remind me, what was it that I said?
I can't help but pull the earth around me, to make my bed
And oh my love remind me, what was it that I did?
Did I drink too much?
Am I losing touch?
Did I build this ship to wreck?

Unbreakable by hestiajones

Rated: 6th-7th Years •
Summary:

Time has a habit of changing our lives, our thoughts, our priorities; the things that were important to us then are often not what are important to us now. We’re remoulded and reshaped, our malleable selves determined by new desires, new goals, new feelings to be passionate about. That’s what makes us human.

I am Hermione Granger. I’m twenty-two years old. I have a new reason to live, and it’s Ginny Weasley.

Hermione Granger has been asked to investigate Pansy Parkinson’s successful and suspicious escort company. But when she joins Glamour Escort Services under a false identity, she’s forced to make decisions she never expected to.

Flicker and Fail by xxbabewithbrainsxx

Rated: 6th-7th Years •
Summary:

I know I have a fickle heart,

And a bitterness

And a wandering eye

And a heaviness

In my head...

But don’t you remember?

Don’t you remember?

The reason you loved me before

Baby, please remember me once more...

Leanne Starr watches Katie Bell anxiously as she awakens at last, six months after she was cursed in Hogsmeade. She is waiting for that spark of recognition to flicker in Katie’s eyes. But that spark never appears, and Katie just doesn’t remember her.

This story was written for the wonderful and fabulous Alex/welshdevondragon, my alpha-beta, who also happens to be a wicked writer, super mod and also my first ever friend on MNFF :D

Bliss by lucca4

Rated: 6th-7th Years •
Summary:

Cho Chang is contently married to the Muggle man of her dreams (or so she tells herself). The Wizarding World and all the pain it brought is far behind her -- at least, that is what she believes until she bumps into an old classmate.

Pansy Parkinson weaves her way through bars and men (in that order) and tries to forget which side she was on. She needs help, but she isn’t sure how.

Perhaps, it takes recognising sorrow to move on to bliss.

This story is for the GH Cotillion Challenge. Thank you, Jess and Viv, for setting such an ingenious challenge!

Third Place winner, along with Paris by welshdevondragon..

Nominated for a 2012 Quicksilver Quill Award - Best Same Sex Pairing.

I need to make amends, but I don't know how.And she's not going to listen to me, is she?

Forbidden Colours is a love story set in that fated seventh year.

Disclaimer: I am not JK Rowling, or David Sylvian. I merely nick their words and attempt to add my own.

Thank you to Natalie for beta'ing the first chapter and Kara for the others.

I am Equinox Chick from Hufflepuff writing for the Great Hall Cotillion Challenge.

This is hestiajones' bazillionth entry for the GH Cotillion Challenge. To be honest, she's more bewildered than you, and what's more, she's not J.K.Rowling.
