Summary
It doesn’t look like Jim’s riled, laughing as Spock casually dips him to the festive music or sneaks kisses when he’s pulled back up. Not with Spock pressing his lips to Jim’s ears and that delicate neck flushing red. Leonard thinks of the turbolift and wonders if he should go to them. Both of them, Spock had said. Both of us.

Summary
littlebastardreviews posted the collected facts from the 2014 UK Editions of Harry Potter: and this fact caught my eye.
'Only one non-magical person has ever managed to get as far as the Hogwarts Sorting Hat before being exposed as a Squib.'
But, gosh it just makes me want a story where a squib did make it through. So here's a drabble about a squib with a quick mind and a hand-me-down wand, who refuses to be denied her birthright.
--
when the hat drops over her eyes it asks, 'well what do we have here?'
she’s got a forged hogwarts letter with penmanship that’s perfect down to the ink splatter;
she’s got a complicated string of owls, only half of them forged, from parents to administration to ministry that’s so complicated her name ended up on the first year roll call anyway.
she’s got ten arguments, four pleas, and one smothered threat on the tip of her mental tongue for why the house that comes out of this hat’s brim better not be 'squib'
she’s got a lighter up her sleeve and an eight and a half inch wand in her belt that will never, ever work for her.
'well,' says the hat, 'better be slytherin then'

no place like home by dirgewithoutmusic for Elennare

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.

Summary
Molly tried her best. When Harry had told them, Arthur had asked excitedly, "is this a Muggle thing?" Hermione had hurried out a "no!" and a frantic history of gender diversity in the wizarding world.
"It's just that I'm a girl," Harry had said, and Arthur had nodded and asked her about how telephone booths worked. He would call her by the right pronouns until the day he died at the respectable old age of one hundred and thirty three, and he would make it seem easy.
But Molly had to try. Hermione explained things faster and higher-pitched every time Molly messed up a pronoun. Molly frowned and muttered and put extra potatoes on Harry's plate at breakfast. Harry slept in Ron's room, which didn't bother either of them but which made Hermione scowl.
Harry got boxes of sweets and warm hugs, as Molly chewed things over. For her fifteenth Christmas, the Weasley sweater she would receive would be a bright, friendly, terrible pink.
The next time Harry visited, Molly put her on Ginny's floor to sleep-- for some definition of sleep that involved Hermione hissing threats at three in the morning if Harry and Ginny didn't "shut up about Wronski feints, do you know what time it is."

Summary
"His awareness coils around her, an invisible hand at her throat, making her glimpse the stars. Suddenly she can’t remember a time when he wasn’t inside and around her, a dark root in her belly, their veins tangling."
(Oneshot based on a theory that Kylo and Rey are twins born of Luke and Leia's incestuous relationship.)

Summary
Padmé wakes to the back of Obi-Wan’s head, his hair mussed and his arms spread, outstretched over her knees as though to shield her from all that would come. (Too late, Padmé thinks, feeling the dull ache around her throat, where phantom hands tightened. Much too late for that now.)

Summary
A tiny bit of a reverse Beauty & the Beast. The beautiful scholar prince of a conquered country is given in marriage to the monstrous warrior queen of their conquerors, in an effort to keep his family and his kingdom safe. It's possible that his new wife didn't expect him to be quite as pragmatic about it as he is, though. To be fair, his family didn't either.

A Petition for the Dissolution of this Friendship by HeronS
Fandoms: Star Trek: The Original Series
16 Oct 2016
Tags
Summary
When Spock comes to Kirk to “petition for the dissolution of their friendship”, Kirk realizes that he really has no idea what this relationship would mean in Spock’s alien culture. A story about friendship and culture clashes, and the fact that “t’hyla” and “measured, proportionate reactions” don’t seem to go well together.
(As evidence for that, let me just say: The Search For Spock. :) )

Summary
Loki is her consolation prize.
He is the last thing she expects when her husband returns from his wars, reeking of blood and unwashed leather, but the paternal instinct can soften even the most battle-hardened warrior. As he stands before her, clasping the Jotun-blue baby in his arms, the mighty All-Father looks as anxious as a mother cat trying to nurse a duckling.Frigga puts out her hands, accepts him for what he is: a replacement for the son Odin has claimed as his own. A prize, looted from the battlefield by the All-Father himself.
She looks down at the squalling, alien child, already made fretful by the heat of the room, and thinks: yes. This one will be mine.

Summary
The flogging had not been unexpected.
He had twice allowed Asgard's greatest enemies within her borders, leading to the deaths of two of her fine warriors; he had killed his blood father (bile soured in his mouth at the thought); he had helped destroy Asgard's greatest treasure, the Bifröst ("but father," piped Thor, pathetic, like a little baby bird whose mother'd shoved him from the nest, and good riddance "I destroyed the Bifröst-" "Be silent, my son-" "But-") he had lead an army of demons into one of the great cities of an innocent realm; he stood accused of murder, treason, patricide, attempted patricide, attempted fratricide, and a whole host of other things he hadn't bothered to listen to, had he anything to say in his defense?
Loki had turned his head to the side and spat.

Summary
[[Post-Avengers. Loki's plan had gone perfectly, now he needs only to see it to it's natural conclusion.]]
No Asgardian cell can hold him. Loki's magic is bound, but his mind is not -- and the Aesir were always fools, to think that Loki's mind was anything other than his most dangerous asset.
