Title : Meditations on a Theme
Author: [livejournal.com profile] aberforths_rug
Rating: PG
Fandom: Harry Potter
Character: Lily Evans Potter
Warnings: None really. Some difficult scenes from the books are explored, but there is nothing graphic in this piece.
Word Count: ~1700

Prompt: 84) The weak are the most treacherous of us all. They come to the strong and drain them. They are bottomless. They are insatiable. They are always parched and always bitter. They are everyone's concern and like vampires they suck out life's blood.--Bette Davis.

Summary: If Lily Evans thought to split the world cleanly and simply into those who are weak and those who are strong she would count herself among the strong.

Author's Note: Many thanks to [livejournal.com profile] antoshevu for the beta and the encouragement. Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] ladytory for the conversation about the thing about Lily and Petunia! Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] gehayi for running this wonderful [livejournal.com profile] femgenficathon with grace and patience!

Warnings: None
Prompt: #12 'If you can keep your head about you when all about you are losing theirs, its just possible you haven't grasped the situation.' Jean Kerr.
Summary: The ten year old Lily Evans was a perfectly normal little girl, with an only slightly peculiar collection of dolls. And that business with the tortoise wasn't her fault at all.
Author's Notes: Many thanks to [livejournal.com profile] javajunkie13 for the beta job. Any remaining errors are mine.

The Evanses had a pet tortoise named Gonzalez )

Prompt: 105) We don't accomplish anything in this world alone ... and whatever happens is the result of the whole tapestry of one's life and all the weavings of individual threads from one to another that creates something.--Sandra Day O'Connor.
Word count: 5009
Summary: Harry Potter isn't a weapon. He is a quilt.
A/N: Thank you with big fawning smooches to [livejournal.com profile] thescarletwoman for the fantastic beta and who, along with [livejournal.com profile] inell and [livejournal.com profile] cocohufflepuffs, put up with my wibbling about writer's block.

She wonders if anyone has caught on yet that she doesn't know what she's doing. )

Author: Rose Williams (RoseWill), [livejournal.com profile] rosewilliams
Rating: PG 13.
Warnings: Character death.
Prompt: 43. Any coward can fight a battle when he's sure of winning, but give me the man who has pluck to fight when he's sure of losing. That's my way, sir; and there are many victories worse than defeat.--George Eliot, a.k.a. Mary Ann Evans.
Summary: Petunia never liked magic, Lily used to like her sister. Four rather imporant scenes in their lives.
I would like to apologise most sincerely for the lateness of this fic. All feedback is greatly appreciated, although I won't be able to reply to it for a couple of weeks.

Title: Of Heroes and Villains
Author: Seph ([livejournal.com profile] petulantgod)
Rating: PG13 for language, implied violence, and subject matter
Character: Lily Potter
Word Count: 1,000
Summary: She might die, but he won't. He can't. And as long as he lives, she lives. James lives. Harry is not going to die.
Warnings: character death
Author's Notes: There are new words now that excuse everybody. Give me the good old days of heroes and villains, the people you can bravo or hiss. There was a truth to them that all the slick credulity of today cannot touch. --Bette Davis (1908 - 1989), The Lonely Life (1962). Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] rosesanguina for all her help and the betaread. ♥

Title: Five Dead Women
Author: Snegurochka ([livejournal.com profile] snegurochka_lee)
Rating: R
Genres: Darkfic, Mystery, Drama
Characters: Lovegood, Tonks, Vance, McGonagall, Evans, Granger, others
Words: ~6,400
Warnings: Character deaths (4/5 canon); references to suicide and murder, references to pregnancy/childbirth complications, references to mental illness, adult language, HBP SPOILERS
Disclaimer:
Not my characters, and less than zero money is being made here; in fact, money is being spent. JK Rowling owns all, and no copyright infringement is intended.
Prompt: #45: Some there are who are much more ashamed of confessing a sin than of committing it. – Marguerite of Navarra, The Heptameron.
Many thanks to: [livejournal.com profile] dora_the_nymph, [livejournal.com profile] islandsmoke, and a third lovely lady who prefers to go anonymous, for the quick, thorough, and punishing beta reads. I have never quite seen a Darkfic-GenFic, and thus am certain this is not the kind of story the marvellous moderators had in mind for this Ficathon, but once it popped into my head, I couldn't let it go. I hope it still qualifies as acceptable FemFic, and GenFic.
Summary: Five vignettes, seemingly unrelated and featuring diverse Potterverse women, explore the link between these women that will answer the question: why are five of them dead?

A woman killed on duty is still just another dead woman - and one less for all those blokes at the Ministry to have to worry about. )
