In search of fluff

slowfoxThere's a distinct shortage of Harry/Parvati fic around - I know there's canon (which is all about the H/Par, obviously), but fics proper are kinda thin on the ground :-(
TTK was supposed to be Harry/Cho from the outset, but that didn't work (on the Hogwarts Express it was clear that they didn't really want anything to do with each other), so then it moved on to Harry/Parvati. But that didn't work, either, because of... well, events, dear reader, events.
So then we had some Harry/Cho for a while, before the fic curved back todestiny a Harry/Parvati subtext (TTK: more canon than canon itself™ :-P).
Y'know, I actually sketched out the sequel to TTK - it was going to be a Hogwarts: TNG fic, and completely, massively, insanely AU, since OotP came out just after I'd rushed the finish of TTK, and I decided that not only would hardly anybody be interested in reading about a fic set in 2012 - 2016, but that I wasn't prepared to invest that much time to write it, either (because it was going to be a lot of work). But I do still have some of the notes - student names and houses (and parentage). Staff names and subjects. Timetables for all seven years of students. Notes of when the full-moons will fall that far ahead...
But yeah, there's a definite shortage of quality Harry/Parvati fluff in fandom. Hmmm.... For me, the optimum ficable year is the fifth, which is why TTK and Hogsmeade in the Rain are both set then. Potions is sixth year, but I can't remember when Sword, Dance, Snow is set. Teh pr0n is set in sixth year, if memory serves, and I don't think I've written any other Harry/Parvati: Ronald Bilius Weasley, Elite of the Few is basically shipless (with R/Hr as subtext, because aside from multiple character death, I'm all about the canon).
So are people still interested in 5th year AU fic? I remember lizardlaugh's K2K theory, which was a work of art, and would love to somehow engineer a fic that made use of that...
