Summary
In which Alastor realizes he committed a bit too hard to the whole found-family gag, gets fucked up by the First Douchebag, and tries to pretend everything is fine. Shockingly, Charlie is not oblivious. Even more shockingly, the person she goes to for help is Vox.
This turns out to be a case of using the wrong equation but still getting the correct answer.
(Also known as the one where Al & Vox used to bait angels, until they didn't.)

Summary
If you asked Han Solo what this tale is about, he would say it is the story of how he, a handsome and courageous spacer captain, became the favorite acolyte of a terrifying eldritch void deity, joined the Rebel Alliance, and helped save the galaxy from an evil space wizard.
If you asked said eldritch deity, currently going by the name Firmus Piett, he would say that "favorite" is a bit of a stretch.
(AKA: What if my favorite Imps were actually old gods?)

Summary
This time, Harry really, really means it. He's never going back to Privet Drive. The brief, shining moment of happiness between Sirius's offer to raise Harry and Pettigrew's subsequent escape ruined Harry for anything less than a real home--a place where he's just Harry, not the Boy Who Lived or the freak in the cupboard. Harry is ruined, and so this time he means it. He is never going back to Privet Drive.
And this time, Harry knows ahead of time where he's going to go.
Swallowing back his inexplicable nervousness, Harry holds out the sickles to Stan and calmly says, "I'm going to the House of No Blood."

Summary
When Aloy raises her spear to end HADES before the doors of LATOPOLIS, she hesitates. It doesn't seem right somehow, despite all the pain and destruction the AI has caused, to kill it in cold blood. Not when it has been reduced to defenseless, malfunctioning wreck by Sylens' tender care. Not when its formerly formidable voice has diminished to a weary, resigned rumble.
Just her luck, that out of all the enemies Aloy has made and vanquished since the Proving, the first one to ask for mercy would be HADES, who categorically does not deserve it.
Elisabet Sobek, she thinks, would do what had to be done. She—they—had sacrificed so much to save Earth. What did a scratch on her conscience matter compared to her duty to humanity?
But... Aloy wasn't Sobek's daughter.
She was Rost's.

Summary
The first thing you had to remember about Jewel Casino was that you couldn't buy chips with money. It wasn't that kind of casino. You couldn't gamble your soul either. The casino's owner, the enigmatic and unnerving Opal Nox, was not interested in souls. Then what were you supposed to bet, you ask? The color of your eyes. All your memories before you were three years old. The second best day of your life. Anything you liked really. When you cashed out at the end of the night, you could buy those things back ...or you could buy other things.
The second thing you had to remember was deceptively simple: the House always wins.

Summary
The thing about Dumbledore was that he favored telling people what he thought they needed to hear, rather than telling them the plain truth. For example, when he told Harry Potter in second year that only a true Gryffindor could pull Godric's sword out of the Sorting Hat, he was just trying to reassure a student who was uncertain they belonged to their House. He was, however, not only lying, but wrong. A Hogwarts student belongs to *all* the Houses, and many things other than a sword have sprung mysteriously from the Sorting Hat.
(or)
The four Founders of Hogwarts were by no means the greatest or most powerful wixen ever known, but on Hogwarts grounds and over Hogwarts students, their influence is sacrosanct. Whether through the magic of the Sorting Hat and the castle itself, or some other cunning, mysterious means of reaching through time, help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it.

Summary
“Thank you.”
He didn’t respond, instead pulling his backpack off and setting it on the ground. He pried an axe out, walking over.
“Well.” Wilson said. “I’m not letting you stay here.”
Maxwell stared at him. His expression was unreadable. “Well,” he echoed, ”you aren’t.”
.
Wilson made it to the Nightmare Throne. He considers the things that brought him to this point, and makes a choice.
