Themed list: Parseltongue and Parselsmut

Posted on March 2, 2008

This list is for Lazlet because she’s fantastic.

Parseltongue and Parselsmut




RULES


What I take:

- fics where Parseltongue is used a) extensively, b) originally, c) in sex. If they weren’t posted to hd_parseltongue.
- fics where somebody besides Harry, Voldemort, and Gaunts can speak Parseltongue, for whatever use.
- fics where Harry’s talking to snakes is a requirement of his job or business (like in Tayefeth’s Snakes and Ladders).

King Draco’s Code, or What I don’t take:

- no fics where Harry and Voldemort chat in Parseltongue as they would do, say, in French.
- no fics where Harry has a pet snake (or just a friendly snake), i.e. where Paseltongue is used for communications with snakes and nothing else. Such a fic would qualify, though, if Harry’s speaking Parseltongue to snakes arouses somebody else, that is if Parseltongue is a kink.
- no fics where Parseltongue is used but it’s insignificant for the fic as a whole, as in, Harry says two-three phrases to open a door. Once again, the use of Parseltongue should be significant.
- no fics from hd_parseltongue; I just don’t want to multiply things without necessity. You can simply go there and read fics to your heart’s delight.
- 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 not bring fics the authors of which show no grammar or spelling skill even if you liked them;
- do me a courtesy, please, do not leave only a link. I’d be really grateful if you tell me (besides the title and author) whether the fic is a WIP or completed, what the pairings and the rating are. If you tell me a little about how Parseltongue is used, I’ll be really grateful.

The fics are sorted in alphabetical order by TITLE (articles excluded, i.e. A Year Like None Other is placed under ‘Y’).

Special marks:

# - liked
## - loved
NR - have not read
new - added in the last month or so

    Hi,
    There’s also Harry Potter and the Sword of Gryffindor posted at http://www.ficwad.com/story/14103

  2. Anna on April 1st, 2008 8:41 am

    Just saw your request for details (instead of just a link), so here goes:

    Harry Potter and the Sword of Gryffindor

    Posted summary:
    A special book helps Harry tap into the power the Dark Lord knows not. Of course it’s a book on sex magic and rituals… but Harry’s not complaining. Spurned on by the ghost of a pervert founder,…

    Why it applies: The sex magic uses parseltongue.
    The fic is long, a WIP, H/Hr and is classified as humor/erotica.
