Summary
The bad decisions start at fifteen, and they are entirely her own.
Or maybe this is the part where DNA comes into play, maybe this is the point when Lily’s ankle catches on the genetic trip wire and it all comes crumbling down, everything, all of it. She might be microscopically prone to poor choices—and god would it be nice if it were that easy to explain—or she has an incurable predisposition to self-destructive behavior.
(By the time she is lying on the bathroom floor and reckoning with all of the past versions of herself, Lily has realized that none of these reasonings make the bad decisions not hers.)

Summary
Six months after the Battle of Sunnydale, Buffy is trying to settle into her new life in London: patrolling, training new Slayers, and studying English Literature. But it's not great for her grades that strange demons are appearing all over the city – and it's not great for her sanity that she's suddenly dreaming about Spike.
And she only dreams when it rains.
(Goes AU post-Chosen.)

Summary
“Buffy?”
He almost never used to call her Buffy. Did he? Always Slayer, or pet, or love. Or like, he’d use her name, but it always sounded odd, in his mouth. All tender, touchy. Like, like he was making eye contact with her, just by saying it.
"Spike."
She wonders if it feels the same, for him. His name, her tongue.

Summary
“I know how we can defeat Glory!” Anya pronounced. Willow and Xander both looked up at her in surprise. Even Giles, over by the register with his tea, looked up in interest. “We run away!”
Thanks to some research done by Anya, the escape in Spiral is to a different dimension, where hopefully they should be safe from Glory’s all-powerful grasp until the window for the apocalypse passes. But trying to get home will be another matter altogether, in a world where humans are slaves, vampires undergo peculiar transformations, and Cordelia Chase is the messiah. Reuniting with old friends doesn’t guarantee things will get any easier, especially if their enemies also team up to maintain the status quo. What does it mean to be The Key? How many regimes will Buffy overthrow? Is there no place like home?

Summary
Bertie is called to Brinkley Court yet again to help save Milady's Boudoir. While he and Jeeves attempt to get a lady cartoonist to contribute a serial to the old rag, Bertie keeps accidentally applying his unique brand of charm on his valet. Poetry is quoted, valets are rescued from minor inconveniences to great effect, and misadventures and misunderstandings ensue. An ode to my favorite Wodehouse conventions :)

Summary
Just then, the last of the blood slipping from that boy into Spike, him and Dru grabbing for each other with their fangs in each other’s mouths, then walking hand in hand up Fifth Avenue, all the way back home, a little prayer croaks out of him, before he realizes enough to grab it back—Please. Please, let it be like this always.

Summary
Currently on hiatus. No estimated time of return.
~~~~~
It's a well known fact that James Potter and Lily Evans hate each other with a burning passion. When they are named Head Boy and Head Girl, everyone wonders whether it is a mistake. However, a burning passion can ignite something far more powerful than hatred. The only question left is whether they can survive the blaze.

Summary
Love only exists between persons of the same nature.
Of all the great and powerful ideas among those words, not a single sentence had moved Albus as this. Because this felt as though it was written just for him.
”It's perfect."
Gellert gazed at him, one eyebrow cocked, from his desk where he was busy inking down the next chapter.
Albus smiled and tossed the manuscript back on the table. "It's the rest I don't agree with. I simply cannot get behind that American rule."
Gellert laughed loudly. "You wish to marry a Muggle, Albus? There is something you're not telling me, yes?"
Albus tipped his head sideways, growing weary of his friend always missing the point. "Oh, I don't know. I feel some sympathy with those who are not allowed to love freely." Gellert's gaze became fixed on the floor before his eyes roamed up to take in Albus' face. Albus placed his hands on his stomach and sighed gently. "I can only imagine what it's like not having the freedom to walk hand in hand with my love, or marry them, or kiss them in the street."
There was a long pause. Then, seriously, "What are you talking about, Albus?"
"I think you know."

Just futurisic and sexy snily.
The year is 2088. A new city formed in the north of Europe. A city full of the newest technology, a city that opens its doors only to the few. I tried to mend the canon to somehow fit.

Within Their Hearts Shall You Surrender by mstigergun

Summary
Duty calls, and Dorian must answer: when a letter arrives from an old acquaintance asking for Dorian’s aid in securing crucial alliances within the Magisterium, Dorian’s hopes for what Tevinter might yet become outweigh any trepidation about leaving the Inquisition – and the Inquisitor – for the time it would take to remedy Tevinter’s most obvious ills. Still, Inquisitor Lavellan will not be turned aside. Despite the mage’s protests, he insists on accompanying Dorian, although it will be as his companion, not as the Inquisitor.
But the powers at play in the Imperium are greater and more convoluted than Dorian had anticipated: while he navigates secret alliances, unknown motives, and the effects of a series of brutal assassinations, Lavellan discovers that someone has been promising escaped slaves freedom… only to slaughter them for sinister purposes. Trying to uncover the truth of who is making a wild grab for power, and who is putting both Dorian and Lavellan in grave danger, is made harder as they struggle with how to be together in a world so bent on tearing them apart.
NOTE: The final act is comprised of author’s notes/outline only — but the arc of the story is complete.
