Themed list: dialogue-only fics
Posted on August 24, 2007
Filed Under HP themed lists |
What I take:
- the fics that consist only of dialogue, with no author words or remarks. I’ll accept so-called framed dialogues, too. I mean the texts that have only the initial and final lines from the author, while the rest is only characters’ words;
- dialogue-heavy fics. I mean the fics that consist mostly of dialogue but also contain author’s words that indicate character’s actions. As in,
“Ron, you must begin studying for your NEWTs!” Hermione’s voice rang out.
“On, no!” Ron banged his head against the table. — and no author’s words beside brief action descriptions. No interior / landscape. No introspection. No action apart from that expressed via dialogue.
King Draco’s code:
- no play-type fics, where the characters are named, as in
Hermione: Ron, you must begin studying for your NEWTs!
Ron: On, no!
Enter Pr Snape.- no fics that contain a lot of dialogue but also lots of other things;
- the fics where the dialogue occurs via letters go to the list of epistolary fiction;
- no WIPs that have only a chapter or two written;
- no drabbles;
- do not bring fics you haven’t read;
- do not bring fics you didn’t like;
- do me a courtesy, please, do not leave only a link. I’d appreciate the following info: author, title, pairing, rating, WIP status. But if you are certain about some fic but don’t remember whose it was or where to find it, just tell me, I’ll try and find it on my own.
Fics are sorted in alphabetical order by TITLE (articles excluded, i.e. A Weather of The Heart is placed under W.)
Special marks:
# - liked
## - loved
NR - have not read
new - added in the last month or so
These are NOT my recs; it’s just a themed listing.

Het: DM/PP; G, one-shot. Summary 1: “One-shot Draco/Pansy fic, all dialogue. Conversations with Pansy from 4th year to 5th year.” Summary 2: “Draco/Pansy one-shot that takes place from their wedding day to somewhere shortly after it.

Because Pineapple Is The Sex Fruit, by Manraviel
HP/DM; R, one-shot.
Bedtime Story, by Magistera
SB/RL; PG-13. A/N: “This grew out of the line of dialogue that sprang into my mind, “Sirius, don’t tell him that story!”
Blue Moon, by Pandarus
SS/RL; R, one-shot. Summary: “Cliche fic (humour). Bonibaru suggested ‘Trapped with a werewolf on the eve of the full moon and must have sex because a werewolf will not attack its mate.”
The Bride Cometh, by rogueinker NR
AD/MM, G, WIP. After Voldemort’s first fall, Dumbledore makes a fateful decision - to take on a wife. He enlists the help of his deputy but Minerva has plans of her own. Doesn’t quite qualify ‘cos it’s a line of dialogue followed by one of short supporting narration, but I decided to take it.
Bygones, by Bernice (iibnf)
Gen; G, Snape and Lupin; ficlet. Not quite a formal dialogue but still qualifies, I think.
Catechism, by platoeatssouls
DM/RL/SS; PG-13, one-shot. Witten for: Eudora Bragg (039), who requested some major injury done to Draco, a recovery aided by Snape and Lupin, and no whiny brat-ness. Written as a formal Catholic catechism.
Cheers, Pansy, by augustfai
Het: pre-Pansy/Harry, PG, one-shot. Summary: “Chocolate, Pansy, Harry, two firewhiskies, first names, House unity, a broken heart, and Slytherins are capable of loving. Dialogue-only.”

click, by Freelancer (spaceyphysicist)
Gen, G, one-shot. The original Order of Phoenix is getting ready to take the picture Moody showed Harry in the fifth book. However, this is much, much easier said than done…
Congress Tripartite, or season your virgin with a generous pinch of salt, by Jay Tryfanstone (tryfanstone) # (locked; join the comm to read)
HP/SS/LM; NC-17, one-shot. Written for Djin7 in pornish_pixies: Lucius/Severus/Harry where Harry gets the upper hand and has his evil (and by ‘evil’ I mean has-absolutely no idea what do, as it is an unexpected boon, and he is a Gryffindor virgin *woot*) way with them. *nodnod* Hopefully, making them earn their keep. The fic is actually a monologue or one-sided dialogue, not proper dialogue, but I thought it was close enough.
Conjugal Visit, by Jetamors

Hogwarts: A Hauntin’, by Manraviel
