Harry Potter slash rarepairs master table

Claim: Harry Potter - slash rarepairs
Title: Abyssal
Author: sionnain
Characters: Sirius Black / Lucius Malfoy
Prompt: Character Study
Rating: PG-13
Length: Medium (~700 words)
Brief summary: This pairing is usually shown through violence and hatesex: not to say that those elements aren't here, but they're implied. Instead, we see the two through each other's eyes, colored by their own questions and desires. This story leaves me with a desire for more, if only to learn more about this Sirius and this Lucius.

They are violent and desperate and neither of them knows quite how it has happened that they are in this room, wretched and aroused and full of fury and fire and obsession.

Title: Save One Thing
Author: magicicada
Characters: Harry Potter & Dudley Dursley
Prompt: Teamwork
Rating: PG13 (nonsexual kissing)
Length: Epic
Brief summary: After the War, the magic disappeared. Harry is trapped in the Dursleys' home with Dudley. Vernon and Petunia have been hidden by the Light, and Dudley wants his parents home. How can Harry and Dudley both get what they want? An unusual story in which Dudley grows up, Harry gets a vacation he didn't really want, and Ron turns out to be the smart one. Note: At least partially in 2nd-person, which bothers enough people to warn for it.

It started with you saving Harry’s letter, and you wouldn’t have kept it if you’d known better, but back then, you thought saving one thing couldn’t hurt, even if it was a freak thing. You didn’t think about it often, it just stayed where you put it and slowly became a permanent mark on the hidden landscape of your room along with the failed history exams under your bed and the dirty magazines Denis gave you in your closet and the cigarettes hidden practically everywhere.
