  1. Summary

    The story of Severus Snape.

    But this time around better choices are made. Instead of becoming a Death Eater, he receives the offer of apprenticeship under renowned potioneer Arsenius Jigger. But even as Severus attempts to forge himself a new path, the war back home takes an insidious turn.

    And, as with all wars, those who want no part are dragged in—kicking and screaming.

    For in war, like a blaze, the thirst for fresh kindling is unquenchable.

    "A small spark can start a great fire" -Emmet Fox

    Summary

    "Are you going for the course?" Lovegood asked. "You have the NEWTs.”

    “What course?” Draco said, then, “No, don’t be ridiculous,” when he realized she meant the notice pinned up on the board he’d been staring at: Applicants To The Introductory Mediwizard Course For The Coming Term Shall Present Themselves In The Chief Mediwizard’s Office By August 24th.

    “Oh, I thought you might,” she said. “Well, goodbye.” And off she wandered again in her addled way.

    Summary

    The dawn sings in Stephen Strange’s ears when he is born.
    The dawn and the fields and the souls of his mother and father and the watch his sister buys him on his ninth birthday—it all sings, countless melodies written into the universe. There are songs and there is the boy, and there seems to be no way to separate one from the other.
    Stephen listens and pretends he cannot, and he lives in safety as a surgeon and a success. But he can only hide from the unknown for so long. The search for answers leads him into a dance of spies and realms and conspiracy, side-by-side and saving a man with a song like a falcon spreading its wings.
    There is a watch and a suit of impossible armor and a lurking serpent seeking power from the shadows.
    And always, there is the song.
    What is silence, really?

    Summary

    “Life swings like a pendulum backward and forward between pain and boredom.”
    ― Arthur Schopenhauer

    Loki was surprised by his own laughter. Stark chuckled, solidly throwing his cigarette overboard. If Loki was being honest, nothing about this felt real. Not their words, not their voices. It was like something out of a dream, the kind of euphoria that belonged strictly to adolescence. If the pendulum of life swung perpetually between pain and boredom, then this feeling was the drop between both certainties.

    It could only last for a moment.

    His foot slipped.

    AKA the Titanic AU no one asked for. When Loki climbs over the ship's stern he expects a brief rush of elation. It is the closest thing to freedom and chaos he can grasp. He doesn't expect to be saved, and he doesn't expect for this moment, this drop between pain and boredom, to be what permanently changes the course of his life, as well as the fate of his family.
