An Ideal Husband by PlaidAdder
Fandoms: Sherlock Holmes - Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock Holmes & Related Fandoms, An Ideal Husband - Wilde, Sherlock Holmes (1984 TV)
31 Mar 2013

Summary
Also cross-posted from Sacrilege!, where it has been for years. This is a sequel to "Absurdly Simple" but it can also be read as a stand-alone story. It is exactly the same except for the fact that I have more clearly marked the changes in narration, which became even more confusing once the chapter divisions disappeared.
Irene Adler is back in London and has returned to the stage, starring in Oscar Wilde's play An Ideal Husband. Violet Hunter ("Copper Beeches") is in London, working as a governess for an aristocratic and dysfunctional family. Holmes, Watson, and Violet are all in the audience on opening night; and they are soon all embroiled in an intrigue involving Irene Adler, Godfrey Norton, Violet's employers, and a diamond brooch in the shape of a snake. Watson and Violet Hunter take turns narrating a story chock full of double-crossing, cross-dressing, and Oscar Wilde.

Summary
A hand touched his shoulder. Instinctually, Husk cowered, his wings finally moving to cover his body, his tail lashing out only to draw back when he saw, not red pants, but soft, fuzz covered white legs peeking out from above the boots. He risked a glance upwards, his eyes widening as they met mismatched pink ones, concern readable all over Angel Dust’s face.
Or
Angel finds Husk after he's threatened in episode 5. The boys are trying.

Summary
“And slowly but surely, she feels herself finally turn into the sort of person every other person has already perceived her as. People have never looked at Imogen Heaney and thought that she’s particularly kind or always up for a chat or good at sports; people have only ever looked at her and thought one thing, the very worst thing that a girl her age can be. If life was a stage play and they could see their parts in the script, then Imogen’s would be bimbo number two or silly whore number five, and that’s all she’s ever allowed to be.
So she goes along with it. She plays her part in the play. She flirts with the Truham boys and lets their eyes linger on her bare skin and doesn’t speak up when Harry and his boys are being bigoted twats again. She gossips with Higgs girls and compares everything, because life is a competition now for some ridiculous reason, and it’s just like her stepmother said, she’s reached the age where girls forget to be nice to each other.”
Or, a character study into Imogen Heaney that nobody asked for.

What is therapy, really, but couples counselling with one’s dæmon?”
When Rebecca Bunch is five years old, she believes her dæmon is going to be a canary.

Summary
Inspired by this tumblr post by the-mighty-octavius:
Newly divorced Larry Daley finds a house out in the country that is selling remarkably cheap. However, when he moves in, he finds that it went cheap for a reason:
Teddy, the ghost of the original owner of the house, still haunts the building.
Sacagawea, an Earth spirit, wanders the grounds, making it impossible for him to grow a tidy garden.
Not one, but two swarms of fairies, led by Octavius and Jedediah, feud noisily over the rights to live in his bushes.
A homicidal troll named Attila constantly waits outside to chase him across the grounds.
One of the garden statues keeps demanding gum from him and calling him “dum-dum”.
A bunch of goblins keep playing with fire on his property, so that he’s constantly worried that they’re going to set the whole place ablaze.
((I can’t think of anything for the Civil War Guys. Sorry.))
And last, but not least, there seems to be an insane cat-creature (later found to be named Ahkmenrah) locked in the toolshed. He can hear it yowling and scratching to get out, but was warned never to do so or else risk getting torn apart.Bookmarked by MxAquatica

Summary
After finding a torn comic in the trash when told to clean Dudley’s room, four year old Harry Potter puts it together with some odd things that have happened around him, and concludes that he’s the Avatar.
- Not a crossover so much as a fic in which Harry Potter is convinced that Avatar: The Last Airbender is a historical documentary.

no place like home by dirgewithoutmusic for Elennare
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
09 Jul 2015
Tags
Summary
When Petunia Dursley refused to take Harry in she forfeited his birthright protection, so Dumbledore took the baby to the safest place he knew: Hogwarts.
The applicable staff (mostly just… not Snape) took Harry in on a rotating schedule as he grew from baby to toddler to child. They traded extra credit for babysitting among the older students, and Harry grew up knowing a few dozen different laps that were safe and warm to nap in.
This was a Harry who grew up among books, among old transient walls and learned professors. They gave Binns night duty sometimes, and let him talk young Harry to sleep. This was a Harry whose world changed, on principle, daily. The stairs moved. The walls became doors. You had to keep your eyes open–you had to pay attention. So he did.
He grew up in a school. Knowledge was power, but knowledge was also joy. This was his sanctuary. There was magic in his world from birth.

the kids who chose themselves by dirgewithoutmusic

Summary
What if Voldemort went after Harry and Neville, and gave no one a chance to die for them? What if both Chosen Ones died as children?
--
There was no prophesied boy, but there was still this--dozens of shadowed young faces refusing to run, even at the very end of the world. Dumbledore looked out at his chess pieces, pawns and queens; his children and his friends; his collateral damage. He had the beginnings of a plan swelling in his chest.It would take them decades to get their hands, quietly, on every Horcrux. Tom Riddle had to think they were secret. He had to think he was safe. It would take them almost decades, but one day he would be mortal again.
These dozens of faces--they were mortal now. Alastor Moody could feel mortality in the aches of old broken bones; Andromeda rewrote her own last name. Remus and Sirius felt empty, gaping holes in the seats around them, and they made crude, expansive, joyous toasts to friends' memories.
When Molly first reached over and held Arthur's hand, they knew this was something that could not last. That was why they held hands, held on, held tight.

Summary
“Fine,” said Sirius calmly. “We’ll live in the garden.”
“What?” said Remus.
“What?” said Petunia.
Vernon did his best impression of a walrus mixed with a tomato.
“You don’t want to raise him,” said Sirius, with the air of describing something to the incredibly dimwitted, “and we sure as hell don’t want you to bloody raise him. But he can’t leave your property; he’s got to call this…” he gestured disdainfully at the living room, “a home until he’s of age. So we’ll live in the back garden.”(formerly 'Moony and the Dogfather')
