Summary
You watch her fly through the air, and think about a perfect cage— one she’d always known how to leave, but never quite dared. Perhaps it wasn’t flying, no matter how much it looked like it, no matter how much she’d wilted, with both feet stuck firmly to the ground. You watched her, and thought:
She grew up locked in a tower, and, She could have left at any time, and you wonder if, perhaps, you shouldn’t call what she does ‘flying,’ even in your own thoughts.
No, it didn’t surprise you that she’d never talked to birds.

Summary
Here lies one who loved this waterfall, who was brave enough to fight in the most precarious of positions, who the lawlessness of Skyrim brought to her doom.
We could have been friends, or enemies, but we will only ever be strangers, for I lived and you fell.
I will remember, always.

Summary
On that fateful Halloween night, when the Killing Curse rebounded and a fragment of Voldemort’s soul was blasted apart from the whole, it latched itself onto a new vessel.
No, not Harriet Potter.
A cat.

Peter Pettigrew and the Ghost of Christmas James by gonzoclock

Summary
Peter loves his friends. Which is why he had to kill them. And now, he's doing- well. Alright. Things didn't turn out exactly as he'd anticipated, but he's making it work. Living his life. As a rat. Mostly trying not to think about things.
Fine. Things could be better.
But he hadn't thought they'd get worse- which is exactly what happens when, three years after James died, he's come back. And for some godforsaken reason, he's decided to make that Peter's problem. (Okay, okay- Peter gets it. He did kill him.) Peter is sure that James is going to turn him in, ruin his life the same as Peter had ruined the Marauders.
But this is James. And he doesn't do any of that.
What was Peter expecting, really?
(Features: A lot of fighting, a lot of forgiveness, and a splash of necromancy. Alright, you got me- rather a lot of necromancy. But come on- we can't just have the ghost of Christmas James show up. Haven't you seen 'A Muppet's Christmas Carol'? There needs to be at least two more ghosts.)

Bookmarker's Notes
I have never once wanted a peter pettigrew redemption story, but this is certainly that! And, more importantly, this is the best (... and only) story I've read that focuses on the marauders and lily and on how their friendship worked and how they COULD have moved past everything... and why peter betrayed them, without just resorting to "well he's bad obviously and we were all tricked"). So much yelling! So much terrible planning! So much hiding under the fridge!
... I still can't believe they stayed in that house, specifically, though.

Bookmarker's Notes
I read a bunch of other things in rapid succession after this, and days later was still thinking about how... realistic and fleshed-out the characters in this are. Especially the way Snape and Sirius interact. And the librarian! And just... all the bits. The wandrobe key!!! That Harry keeps with him!!! So I'm back to re-read this again, and also bookmark it so I can find it faster, next time.

Summary
How do you adjust to a normal life after living through the end of the world? At the expense of whoever is foolish enough to date you apparently. You meet the strangest boy, the most Amazing Girl. You meet Rose Lalonde in college and John Egbert in Bolivia and all of them are a little off, a little broken, a little wrong in exactly the same way.
