Fandoms: Bartimaeus - Jonathan Stroud
18 Aug 2025

Summary
In a moment of near instant karma, Nathaniel comes down with the flu after refusing to get a vaccine for it.

Summary
Chicago Enclave is a nobody in the magical world no matter how important or pivotal the mundane side of the city becomes. Chicago is a cautionary tale, one of the lessons that gets drilled into the heads of everyone who learns the Living Stone construction spells - the story of Chicago’s complete failure to properly get their core under compulsion, and the resulting mawmouth had fled screaming into the depths of Lake Michigan.
An exploration of trying to get your pre-existing Enclave turned to gold; when the Council is stubbornly against it, your only ally is too good for this cruel world, and you have a tragic lack of hands.

Summary
One Halloween, a sixth grade Hetalia fan, took Hetalia in one hand, the Corpse Bride in the other, and laughing like the true mad scientist she was, smashed them together. The abomination this process created was a fanfiction about how Prussia and Canada get married even though Canada is dead, and the shenanigans that Germany, Japan and Italy get into trying to figure out what is going on. It was as bad as it sounds.
This story, is that now college aged mad scientist’s attempt to reduce the cringe of sharing her fanfiction/archive account with family/friends.
