Characters/Pairing: Kingsley Shacklebolt/Terry Boot
Blurb:

One night, one tall, young and handsome man. One night of pleasure with an anonymous lover and the Minister for Magic Kingsley Shacklebolt's life is no longer the life it once was. Kingsley is willing to give up everything for the man who made such an impression on him. Like Cinderella, Kingsley's one-night-lover left one clue to his identity: a Quidditch glove. Will Kingsley lose everything, pursuing this unexpected attraction to a man he does not know?

Maximum rating: Up to the writer
Squicks: Smoking, drugs, non/dub-con, mpreg, genderbender
Anything else/Special Requests: Would be great if Terry was a pro Quidditch player.

Characters/Pairing: Harry/Blaise
Blurb:

Blaise Zabini likes equations. They make sense. But one buttoned-up computer whiz plus an injured auror simply does not add up. It's time to get over his childish crush on Harry, and find a husband. Enter The List—Blaise's ten must-have traits for a viable suitor.
But his plan goes awry when Harry insists on vetting each contender. The way he dismisses them feels like the actions of a protective boyfriend. Strangely, Harry's attitude makes Blaise even more attracted to him. Too bad Harry doesn't meet even one of his requirements….

Maximum rating: whatever
Squicks: Incest, Non-Con (between the characters, as a side, plot-point it's fine)
Anything else/Special Requests: Ummm...Okay. This would require a little back-story about how Blaise and Harry actually became friends, but I have the utmost faith in the creativity of fandom :)

Characters/Pairing: Astoria/Draco, Draco/Hermione, Astoria/Blaise

Blurb: from Vengeance's Triumph [Triumph der Rache] by Valerie Schönfeld
Astoria Greengrass is in heaven. She is celebrating her dream wedding with the love of her life, Draco Malfoy, complete with horse-drawn carriage and a huge fest at Malfoy Manor. Their world seems complete when their son Scorpius is born. But their happiness doesn't last: Scorpius is diagnosed with a life-threatening disease (in the romance it's cystic fibrosis; author's choice whether they make it a magical disease). Astoria and Draco spare neither time, trouble nor the combined Greengrass and Malfoy fortunes to save their beloved son. Increasingly, Astoria becomes obsessed with finding a cure. Healer Hermione Granger, who specialises in a combination of Muggle and wizarding medicine, becomes Astoria's trusted friend. But Astoria is bitterly betrayed when Hermione, while at the Manor trying to save Scorpius, is spending more and more time with Draco. Astoria sees her marriage threatened, and starts hating Hermione. To get back at Draco, she turns to Blaise Zabini, a healer using alternative and occult/pure-blood treatments. But nothing is helping Scorpius, and eventually everybody but Astoria accept that the child will die. Astoria, bitter and spiteful, can think of nothing else but how to take revenge at Hermione and Draco. (In the romance, the Astoria character burns down the house and kills her husband; author's choice if you want to go that road ;)).

Maximum rating: NC-17
Squicks: non-magical AU, fluff, Hermione/Ron
Anything else/Special Requests: Feel free to change details of the prompt. The prompt is a translation of the German back blurb, adapted and extended to the world of HP.

Characters/Pairing: Ginny/Blaise (or whoever author wants)
Blurb:

Marriage Behind the Facade. Ginny Weasley dreamed of escaping her life to a faraway land, and couldn’t believe that smoulderingly sexy Blaise Zabini would marry plain old her – even out of convenience. But the Italian dream has ended and she’s back to reality with a thud! Now Ginny needs his signature on the divorce papers – Blaise, however, has other ideas. Pure-blood law requires that they spend forty days together as man and wife before Ginny can be free of him for ever. Out in the Mediterranean sun Blaise holds all the power – he’ll make sure their forty nights are more than worth it…

Maximum rating: NC-17
Squicks: Mpreg, scat, BDSM.
Anything else/Special Requests: The original blurb is set in a fictional desert. I changed it because I thought Blaise might have some Italian roots, but I'm happy for it to be set absolutely anywhere outside of England. Het, slash & femslash are all ♥. :)

Pairing: Pansy/Ron
Blurb:

Tempting the New Guy
The last thing Pansy Parkinson needs is another office affair. She's already having a steamy fling with her boss, Blaise Zabini —a fling where Pansy calls the shots in the bedroom.
Nevertheless, she's tempted by her new coworker Ron Weasley's confidence and Southern charm...not to mention the chance at a normal relationship. But as things start heating up with Ron, what will Pansy do when Blaise decides he's not willing to share her?

Maximum Rating: NC-17

Characters/Pairing: Roxanne/Scorpius, Roxanne/Lysander
Blurb:

Roxanne has moved to London with one dream: to become a famous singer. And she will do anything to succeed: change her looks, her name and her friends. She has to decide if she should succumb to Scorpius Malfoy, son of the nightclub owner Draco Malfoy, who can introduce her to all the right people. Or if she should follow her heart to Lysander Scamander, a glittering star who has eyes for all of the beautiful bit players and extras on set. But Roxanne knows she is not going to settle for being just another extra – she's going to have it all!

Maximum rating: NC-17
Squicks: Incest, gore, extreme violence, horror, hard kinks
Anything else/Special Requests: It could be interesting if Lysander were bisexual...? Please don't make Roxanne a doormat either!

Characters/Pairing: Ginny/Blaise/Draco
Blurb:

Ginny is a tough cop with a hardcore reputation. She’s not called the Hammer for nothing. It’s a lonely life for her, but all she needs is her work. At least that’s what she thinks until she meets erotic dancer Blaise. Blaise is sexy, even if he is a suspect, but as far as Ginny can tell, he’s also taken.

Blaise is definitely taken with his lover, Draco, but he and Draco play sometimes, and they want Ginny. The three have fun, even when a murderer begins stalking their lives. Blaise and Draco love Ginny to death, even if her police partner Harry disapproves, but they hope it doesn’t become literal.

Maximum rating: NC-17
Squicks: Character bashing.
Anything else/Special Requests: Hotness, basically.
