HP tree picture and multifandom story search notes

[jain]

Nine months to a year ago somebody did a picture of a tree at Hogwarts, covered with romantic carvings like "M.F. + O.W." Does anyone remember this and know where I might find the it?

Also, some story searches; mostly just so I don't forget what I was looking for, though of course if anyone recognizes any of these, I'd greatly welcome links.

Harry Potter
--Sirius and Remus are having sex at Grimmauld Place when Kreacher interrupts them, and Sirius stops so that he can yell at him. ETA: Found, thanks to deepsix.

--Snape helps Remus with potions and gets a crush on him, and then Sirius comes in and acts like a prat, and Snape sees the two of them being intimate afterwards in the corridor. ETA: Found, thanks to isiscolo.

--Sirius and Remus have sex for the first time. Sirius feels as though he needs to take a crap when he's being penetrated and compares prostate stimulation to needing to pee, and Remus tells Sirius that he's entirely too comfortable with his own excretion. ETA: Found, thanks to silveryscrape, only as it turns out I got both the characters and the fandom wrong; it's really an Orlando/Elijah story.

--Sirius goes to Remus's house post-GoF and panicks while taking a shower because he feels trapped in the small bathroom. ETA: Found, thanks to penknife.

And, having said all that, this might be a good time to repimp hpstoryfinders. Because it could be a really lovely resource, if only it had more than two members. The community's for slash, gen, or het searches, since inclusivity is cool.

Smallville
--An AU in which Clark becomes a hooker when he loses his parents and the farm. He's hired for Lex's birthday, and Lex has to warn him that his father has videocameras set up in Lex's bedroom. Written around the same time that Livia wrote "Just Pie." ETA: Found.

--Lex and Clark have sex in a cherry orchard, and Lex enjoys the symbolism, only Lionel sees them from the mansion and forces Lex to return to Metropolis.

--Clark is dating a boy in college, but it's all very casual, and then he starts a relationship with Lex which isn't casual at all.

SW: TPM
--Obi-Wan is sent to crawl around in a sewer, because...there's a dead Jedi in there? (It's been a very long time since I read this one.)

The Professionals
--An AU in which Doyle is an artist suspected of drugdealing, and Bodie is sent to investigate him.

--Christmas in the house of a million cocks. ETA: Found.

--Doyle and Bodie are sent to the beach to recuperate after Doyle is injured, and Doyle goes on a long run in the rain.

--Bodie and Doyle are investigating the disappearance of a...pilot? historian?...on an island that sacrifices people once a year by burning them in wicker constructions ala the ancient Celts.

--Cowley watches a romantic interlude between two soldiers during the war. ETA: Found.

The first one is kel's no one ever said it would be this hard (http://obsessivetendencies.net/songs/remus.html), I think. That scene is so sad.

(reposted 'cause I screwed up the html. Go me.)

[jain]

Oh, yes, thank you. The whole thing is desperately sad, which I think is part of why I couldn't remember which story contained that scene; I just couldn't bear to reread it as often as it deserved to be read.

I at least remember reading the Pros ones...

[sherrold-ish.livejournal.com]

(well, except for this one "--Christmas in the house of a million cocks."), but geez, my stack of Pros zines is pretty far back in the closet (heh) these days. Do you think you read these online? she asked naively. I have no idea what % of old Pros has finally made it to the web these days.

Good luck on those!

I definitely read them online; I've only bought one zine in my life, and that was TS. In fact, I'm sure that most if not all of the Pros stories I'm looking for are on The Circuit Archive. Unfortunately, it's an extremely bare bones archive--just title and author name to distinguish the stories--so my search is liable to take me a while. Thanks for the encouragement!

The second one is Remedial Potions (http://www.livejournal.com/users/lupercali/8050.html), I think!

[jain]

That's it! Thank you so much. It's one of my favorite Snape stories, and I was looking in all the wrong places (copperbadge's stories, casira's, etc.) for it.

#2 and #4 of the HP stories are familiar, and the names will probably come to me later tonight as I'm trying to go to sleep. I'll let you know if they do. And I'm very curious about #3, please let us know if you track it down!

[jain]

isiscolo turned up the second one: Remedial Potions by lupercali If you do remember the fourth story, though, that would be marvelous. And I'll certainly post a link to the third as soon as it's found.

That's "Thing" by Cimorene and Wax Jism, I think. http://www.rightthisway.net/cimorene/hp/thing.html

[jain]

Oh, thank you very much. I hadn't realized it was such a small part of the narrative, proportionally; it's quite impressive of you to recognize the story based on my description.

[silveryscrape.livejournal.com]

#3 under HP is actually a Lotrrps story, I think, by abundantlyqueer. Orlando/Elijah.

This (http://www.livejournal.com/users/makesmewannadie/37571.html#cutid1) is the story; the stuff you're looking for is in part 9.

[jain]

Dear lord, but my brain plays odd tricks on me. Thank you so much for recognizing the story anyway; there's absolutely no way I would have found that on my own, since I only very rarely read LotR slash.

[silveryscrape.livejournal.com]

...I only very rarely read LotR slash

Isn't that funny? Neither do I. This is a story I bookmarked on a rec months ago, and only got to yesterday when I was clearing out my favorites menu. Only to read your journal entry by chance today... wierd. :)
