Summary
The occasion, at least for that first time, is, “I want to look like someone who would buy drugs from a used car salesman they just met.”
Ette has dealt with lots of strange customers and stranger requests in her years as a hairstylist, but none of them prepared her for Alice White. That doesn't stop Ette from helping the best she can, however.

Summary
The closest Alastor's ever gotten to romance comes in the form of—in order of increasing hilariousness—a couple of botched youthful attempts at kissing, cheap mass-produced smut comics, and the wildly entertaining tales of other people's sordid affairs.
He's never wanted sex. He's never wanted love. He's never seen a problem with this.
It's taken about a century, but he's pleasantly surprised to discover that the rest of the world is finally starting to catch up with his perspective.
More than anything else, he’s pleased that these new modern attitudes have given him extra opportunities for bad puns.

Summary
Long ago he learnt to cast without song, to use witticisms and oration to bring forth his ideas. He is so comfortable with that technique that he senses it becoming his norm now, in this world lacking in fear and battle. And that would be fine, he thinks, were he not half convinced it would mean he never sings again.
or
Oscar's journey back to the joy of song and singing through the medium of amateur dramatics and adorable children.

Summary
Jon doesn’t want to trust his coworkers. He can’t. But after being cursed by a Leitner to obey any command given to him, he might have to.
[I got too busy to finish turning my outline into prose, so the last two chapters are bullet point not!fic. My outlines are casual but fairly detailed; they make for a different reading experience than finished prose, of course, but not an unenjoyable one in my opinion. They successfully finish telling the story I set out to tell, so I consider this fic complete.]
