Title: Voices in the Deep
Author: velvetmouse
Recipient: perryvic
Fandom: David Eddings's Belgariad/Malloreon series
Characters: Errand, UL, with brief appearances by Belgarath, Polgara, Garion, Ce'Nedra, Durnik, Toth and Silk.
Rating: G
Word Count: 2217
Warnings/Spoilers: Spoilers for all of the Belgariad and the first two books of the Malloreon, I guess.
Summary: As they begin their serch for Garion's son, Errand has a very special task awaiting him in the caves of Prolgu.
Notes: If you know the universe, you should be able to follow this without problem. For those who want to do a quick re-read, this is a re-telling of Chapter 1 of King of the Murgos (Malloreon, Bk 2). I was very strongly tempted to give this a funky remix sub-title, so if it makes you happy, you can think of this as "Voices in the Deep (The Growing Up Is Hard To Do Remix)"

Written for Yuletide 2010.

Title: Memento Mori
Author: velvetmouse
Recipient: r_becca for the 2010 springtime_gen exchange.
Character(s): Ginny Weasley, Harry Potter & Others
Rating: PG
Warnings: Very AU, bordering on crack!fic; the mental gymnastics required to deal with time travel cause-and-effect paradoxes; off-screen character death
Wordcount: 10,616
Summary: Voldemort is dead, and everyone can finally get on with their lives.  Years later, the Dark Lord's personal effects are found, and it seems that he recorded more than anyone guessed.  A tale of change, memory and immortality found in the written word.
Author's Notes: Consider this an alternate time-stream from what we know happened in canon; the reasons for the differences will be explained, but not until the end.
Betas: The always amazing S.
