    Summary

    In 1993, Gilderoy Lockhart points a stolen wand at Harry Potter and Ron Weasley with the intent to Obliviate them. The wand doesn't backfire. Gilderoy's "discovery" of the Chamber of Secrets is a short-term success.

    Other consequences are not short-term at all.

    Archived Author's Notes:
    I was watching the Chamber of Secrets movie several years back when the scene in question began to play...and immediately I wanted to know what would happen if the wand had done what it was supposed to do. The answer got very complicated, very, *very* quickly.

    Blame Edgar Allan Poe for the title.

    Beta work by Norcumi and Mrs_Stanley. Brit Spellcheck will be performed...soon.

    *I use the first 7 books and the Tales of Beedle the Bard as canon, but there are moments from the films used because they left me with fun things to play with.

    Snape has to deal with a profoundly different Harry Potter after he returns to Hogwarts after being Obliviated by Lockhart.
    Very well done!

    Bookmarker's Notes

    A (well-written) guilty pleasure.

    Summary

    In their attempt to consolidate power, Wei Wuxian is framed and executed by the Jin Sect.

    A pity, because Wei-xiong was possibly the only person that could have stopped Lan Wangji from razing Koi Tower to the ground, thought Nie Huaisang uncharitably. As for him? They really should have left his brother alone.

    Summary

    Shěn Qīngqiū new game pluses himself into a happy ending and unlocks some premium content along the way.

    This fic is endgame Shěn Qīngqiū/Liǔ Qīnggē/Yuè Qīngyuán.

    It takes time for the characters to get together, but there is zero partner infidelity and very little angst. There's lots of pining, but it's happy pining. This is fluff. Everyone is happy and loving and supportive.
