    The catch?
    Apprenticeships are not chosen by the student, but by their natural magical aptitude. What happens when Harry is assigned to Severus Snape?

     

    OR:

    Summary

    “It’s dangerous out here at night,” Remus wet his lips, suddenly aware of how dry they were, “and we’re quite far from the nearest town.”

    The man in front of him continued to gaze up at him, eyes twinkling with a dangerous look, seeming to dare him to ask risky questions, to probe and let curiosity kill the cat. “What’s your name?” he asked, feigning ignorance to Remus’ concern.

    “Remus.” He answered without a second thought to who he was telling this to, something about the other man made him want to lay himself out bare, secret’s spilling out into the night air, all the good and the ugly. Something about the other man was dangerous but Remus felt the blood in his veins ignite at the thought.

    “Remus,” the man with eyes like the moon whispered, “I’m Sirius.”

    aka. the one where Sirius is a vampire and Remus a cowboy and they fall in love

    Summary

    "You threatened to throw me back in. I sold my fucking soul to get down there and then I wasn’t even strong enough to keep taking the pain. So, so I don’t know where you get off trying to convince me I didn’t belong there.”
    Cas’ expression changes, almost imperceptibly.
    “That’s the demon talking,” he says.
    “I don’t even want to look at you after what you tried to pull with Anna,” Dean says, turning back to stare at his knees. “Get out of here.”
    A hand lands on his shoulder, right over the fucking mark. Dean jolts. When he looks up, Cas is closer, and there’s…almost a kind expression on his face.
    “Your mother would not hate you for what you did in hell,” he says.

     

    An examination of Dean and hell and how demons managed to convince the little boy who made Christmas for his brother when their dad didn't come home that he was a monster.

    Summary

    After Molly gently, socially pins Caleb against the wall, he figures things between them are settled. Being scolded is never fun, but sometimes people need a bit of a nudge in the right direction, that's all. And Molly is very good at reading people. Caleb is fine, surely.

    After certain details come to light—like how Caleb was not, in fact, skimming off the top at all—Molly does his best to rectify the situation.

    Summary

    Aposematism in animals is designed to prevent attack. It doesn't always work, sometimes it's ineffective against some predators, sometimes it isn't. As a primary defence mechanism, Newt is a colourful individual with his blue coat and golden hair. His secondary defences aren't visible however and often are what surprise his opponents the most. Bright creatures tend to be very toxic to predators, but mammals like honey badgers are aggressively defensive. Newt is a Hufflepuff and the emblem of his house suits him well. Signalling theory tells you that Newt warns off predators and opponents with his colours, but when they don't take heed he'll show his claws and fight tooth-and-nail. It's what survivors do.

    And Newt Scamander is definitely a survivor.
