Prompt: #15 You can no more win a war than you can win an earthquake. -- Jeannette Rankin.
Word Count: 3,013
Summary: In times of war everyone has to choose sides. In the aftermath it might not be the one you would have seen yourself leaning to previously, but the intuitive decision of the moment, drawn from a mix of hope and desperation, often has a way of being the ultimately right one.

Notes: Written for the [livejournal.com profile] femgenficathon 2007. Many thanks and much love to [livejournal.com profile] zebraspots05 for listening to my gradual panicking and putting up with all the crappy drafts I threw at her. And, naturally, for her amazing beta job. There is some dialogue you will recognise, which is taken from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, pp. 563-564 and 580-581 British hardcover edition, thusly totally not written by me.

Prompt #2: Every day, every day I hear/ enough to fill/ a year of nights with wondering. -- Denise Levertov.
Summary: She was beautiful, intelligent, talented, successful – and not very nice about it. Clearly, other women must hate her.
Notes: Written for the 2007 [livejournal.com profile] femgenficathon. I've been trying to write this story since HBP, when JKR first really wrote women's hatred of Fleur into canon. DH finally helped the story come to life a little bit more. As one of my betas wisely asked, "What are we really talking about when we talk about Fleur?" Many thanks to my beta team, [livejournal.com profile] accio_arse, [livejournal.com profile] islandsmoke, [livejournal.com profile] magnetic_pole, and [livejournal.com profile] stephanometra, who read multiple drafts and asked all the tough questions. Thanks also to [livejournal.com profile] gehayi for running another [livejournal.com profile] femgenficathon, always one of the highlights of my fandom year. :)

Warnings: None.
Prompt: 14. The smells alone would intoxicate the most rigid of people: night-blooming jasmine, the tang of salt air, and the odd sandy smell after a driving rain. Overhead, creamy, imposing clouds sailed across brilliant blue skies, and the ocean--what colors: cobalt-blue, emerald-green, turquoise-blue, and light-hazel bands of color right next to one another.--Rita Mae Brown (It lead to the inspiration, but only vaguely).
Notes: Huge thanks to [livejournal.com profile] rayvyn2k for the spectactular beta job.

Rating: G
Warnings: None. It's very calm and quiet.
Prompt: 8. Faith is not a series of gilt-edged propositions that you sit down to figure out, and if you follow all the logic and accept all the conclusions, then you have it. It is crumpling and throwing everything away, proposition by proposition, until nothing is left, and then writing a new proposition, your very own, to throw in the teeth of despair.--Mary Jean Irion. Erm. The fic is nothing at all about this.
Notes: None.
Summary: Narcissa Black steps into adulthood.
Disclaimer: [yoinked from [livejournal.com profile] parcae] I'm not even close to being JKR, although these are her characters. This is fanfiction, and no profit is intended to be made from it, so please don't sue me.
