Retrieve the Kraken!

The next chapter of The Road is THIS CLOSE to being finalized! *holds thumb and forefinger a centimeter apart* Really. I have discovered from many comments by Lusiology my f-list that the next chapter is in demand.

But the Arrangement got itself done first (mostly because it's shorter and the less stressful and emotionally involved fic, and therefore lends itself well to relaxation time).

Okay, so. Finally ransacked my older links and lj comments and posts... Here's another update to the H/D World Travelers list. Man, the country section tally went UP! Yay, everybody! And thanks to everyone who is searching out new links for the ones that are broken. I really appreciate it.

The newest additions are as follows:

1 new fic in the Italy section.

3 new country sections with 1 fic each: Montenegro, Russia, and Switzerland.

Again, you guys rock. Thanks for helping me add to this list! Any stories you know of that fit these requirements, please feel free to comment. ^__^

Five more updates to the World Traveler's List... I am working my way through the bunch, so there may be more in the next few days. ALSO: anyone with links to send me that fit the original set of rules, please feel free to comment! ^_^

New fic count:

1 new fic in the Netherlands section

3 new country sections with one fic each: Greenland, Japan, and South Africa

ETA: 1 new fic in the Australia section and link to ficlets in the Seven Days in June universe added to Austria section

I'm sorry for all the time between updates. I sort of have my links saved to different computers, so it will take me a little time to locate the other stories I wanted to add.

( Part 15: The Second Last Night )

Oh man. Okay. At LONG LAST, here is the next chapter of The Road. *runs away from wildly thrown objects of all shapes and sizes* I'm sorreeeeeeeeeee... I do plan to post a bit of an explanation for the lengthy hiatus; I just have not been able to yet. But I am NOT discontinuing this story! I repeat, I am NOT.

That said, here is chapter 21. Updates are going to be less frequent than they were before the break, partly because I have a lot I'm dealing with in RL right now, and partly because I've finally caught up with myself in terms of drafting, so now there will be a longer wait for the next chapter. But I do not intend for it to be nearly as long as this most recent wait! *apologizes again profusely*

Okay.

Title: The Road (21/?)
Author: rurounihime
Rating: hard R when all is said and done…
Pairing: H/D eventually
Summary: In the midst of a disintegrating war, Harry awaits the arrival of the Order’s last hope.
Warning: violence, character death, spoilers for all seven books. This fic is now AU because of Deathly Hallows. And at the risk of much silliness, I now discover that there are apparently DH spoilers in this story from the beginning. O.o
Disclaimer: The HP characters and most of the spellwork do not belong to me.

No artwork for this chapter.

**ETA: THIS CHAPTER HAS RECEIVED ITS FINAL EDIT**

Previous chapters

( Chapter 21: Seamus )

Heh, okay, this fic gets a more extensive note than usual...

Warning... CONTAINS MINOR DH SPOILERS, and here's why: I am not yet finished with the book, but I am over halfway done (through ch. 21, DON'T SPOIL ME), and so parts of it have incorporated themselves into this ficlet. But there are no huge spoilers, as far as I know.

Title: Tent Secrets
Author: me
Pairing: H/D
Rating: R
Summary: Draco, Harry, and a few minutes to themselves.
Word count: 2,452
Disclaimer: The HP characters and magic do not belong to me, nor do they make me more wealthy in a material sense. I feel they make me more wealthy in emotional ways. ^_^

Dedicated to the lovely piratesmile331. Sorry, love, no Arrangement fic was forthcoming. So I offer this instead. ^_^

Title: The Bedtime Story (2/2)
Author: rurounihime
Pairings: H/D, H/G, D/various
Rating: hard R for violence, sex, language, and adult themes
Summary: Once upon a time there lived a boy in a castle. He was not a very nice boy. He was arrogant and selfish. But this boy had a beautiful name.
Warnings: Okay. This is dark-fic. Creature fic, contains character death (major and minor), blood, violence, hate-sex, dub-con. Not a happy story. Lastly, let me issue a general warning for Coffeejunkii and Enchanted Jae. Seriously, I don’t recommend this one to you two. :(
Disclaimer: The HP characters do not belong to me. I just get hankerings to put them through the worst moments of their lives, apparently. I do not make any money off of them or this story.

Dedicated to Fire, my beta, and my wonderful mentor in all things Ebil.
