Summary
The Defense Against the Dark Arts position at Hogwarts is cursed. After years spent mitigating the damage, Headmaster Severus Snape knows this better than most. So when the Board of Governors insists on hiring the world’s most famous Quidditch star to take the post, he is less than enthusiastic.
When Harry Potter finally arrives — entitled, impulsive, and masking an injury that may spell disaster all on its own — Severus must reconcile his worst fears with a startling truth: Harry may be exactly the teacher the school needs.
A post-Quidditch career AU in which fame, survival, and grudging respect collide, and the line between headache and hero is surprisingly thin.

Summary
Nella Rose Potter, the Girl Who Lived.
Under the stairs at the moment, though not for long. She's about to receive a letter that will make things a whole lot worse before they get better.
***“I am not in the habit of returning house points once they have been lost, Miss Potter. Among us little people at least, choices have consequences. If that’s all —”
“It’s not that, sir,” she hastened to explain, surprising him once more. Most students were only too eager to latch onto anything that resembled a dismissal from his presence, and no one — ever — interrupted him. “I-I understand. I just… I live with my aunt and uncle, you see. They’re muggles.”
Snape didn’t answer, but the girl plowed doggedly on.
“Well, th-there was an a-accident at the end of the summer, sir. S-some of my potions ingredients spilled in my trunk, and I didn’t know w-what to do... M-my relatives thought I might get help at school?”
She swallowed hard, then reached into her bag and pulled out a horror of a textbook. The entire mold-stained cover slid off as she moved to set it on his desk, and a handful of ragged pages scattered as the book block landed on his desk with a damp thud.

Summary
Bulshar chuckles and crouches in front of Bobo. “You’re like a dumb dog, aren’t you, Robert?” Bobo flinches at that name, too. It makes his chest hurt. “No matter how many times the Earps kick you, you crawl back to them on your belly, begging for scraps.”
“My angel is coming,” he rasps.
“My angel,” Bulshar corrects.--
Bobo's point of view beginning after his escape from the well at the end of s03e06, and carrying through to the end of the season. Not a fix-it so much as an exploration and an attempt to turn what the writers gave us into a clearer redemption arc. Because Robert Svane deserves one.

Summary
Dwarves!
In the Shire!
More than one - several, in fact! Possibly even many!
Bella hopped a fence and dashed along between the neat pea lines, taking advantage of the last of the daylight to take one final shortcut before she was limited to the longer-but-safer paths and lanes.
Dwarves!
She couldn't wait to tell Bilbo. She was unbelievably - though not unpardonably, she hoped - late for supper, but surely, when Bilbo heard the news, he'd have to forgive her.
She skidded to a sudden halt.
Perhaps it would be best to bring proof.-
Bilbo may be a Baggins of a Bag End, but his twin sister Bella inherited all their mother's Tookish tendencies. If one Hobbit burglar is good, surely two will be better... right?
