4/28/2008 - added links to others' remixes of S.O.B. story and
Clarke's Law
4/3/2008 - added drabble, De Gustibus
As of 2006, I am (probably) not writing any more Harry Potter stories. I
occasionally write drabbles and ficlets, which are linked in the appropriate
section below. These stories make liberal use of characters, objects, spells, and situations
originally invented by JK Rowling. Most but not all are slash or have
slash elements; in other words, two men (or two women) in a romantic and/or
sexual relationship. Some of these stories contain explicit sex, and
are marked NC17. Other warnings as indicated.
I have also written several fancomics which
have been illustrated by Brevisse and are in their own section. Stories are grouped more or less by main character and
pairing, with newer stories more or less toward the top of their section.
Don't know where to start? Here are some of my favorites -- my
stories which I think are the best. Like humor? Try Oral Sex, Briar Nose, and
Four Funerals and a Wedding. Dark Creatures |
Snape/Lupin NC17, angst, drama. Warning: nonconsensual sex
. In 1983, before the invention of the Wolfsbane potion, Remus Lupin is hired
to teach at Hogwarts. Snape has an artifact that will prevent the Change, but
the cost may be too high for Lupin to bear. 7900 words. Written for the
Roughside Slavefic Fuh-Q Fest. This is a very dark story. It is
not a romance. You can also read the story
notes, and see the illustration by Ligeia.
Or if you can, read the
Chinese translation! (April 2003) Oral Sex | Snape/Black R
(for language), humor. Snape and Black toast each other's health.
Sort of. Bad language, no sex, too much drinking. 1500 words.
Written for the Booze Fuh-Q Fest.
(April 2003) See sequel below. And see the illustration
by Sparrowhawk! And the story notes!
And the Russian translation! (by

Snape and Black wake up with hangovers and go to bed with each other. 4300
words. (May 2003) You can also read it in
Russian translation by Belladonna! And see the illustration

transformation. 5000 words. Written for the third wave of the

his wife at a family gathering. 8000 words. Written for the third wave of

the Merry Smutmas

Word Drabble Challenge." HP100
is a livejournal community which issues weekly challenges, which are to be met
by 100-word drabbles on the assigned theme. My entries include
slash, het and gen, with varying pairings and ratings. They are in order,
from earliest to newest (at the bottom). I also participated for a while in the
hpsquick100 community, which focuses on unusual pairings and
themes. Entries are listed here as well, marked with (hpsquick100). The
First One , Trelawney (gen), PG -- first time challenge For about a year I joined a group of friends
on Friday nights to do challenge-drabbles: one person sets a pairing (het
or slash) and a summary or phrase, and the rest of us have 15 minutes to write
an appropriate drabble. For this we use a looser definition of drabble,
100-150 words in exact multiples of 5. You can find
all my drabble-night drabbles via my livejournal memories. Many of theses stories also reside at various other archives,
including: Skyehawke,Fiction
Alley,The Restricted Section,
Diagon Alley, and
Inkstained Fingers, as well as appropriate fest archives. My
author name is Isis at all archives save Fiction Alley, where it is
Isiscolo. I also post most of my stories in
my livejournal. You can reach me by email at isiscolo [at]
gmail.com or use the nifty feedback form.
