Banished into Distance and Indistinctness by lirin for edwardianspinsteraunt

Summary
When Charles Musgrove asked Anne Elliot to marry him, she did not suppose that she had any other prospects (not anymore), and so she accepted his proposal.
Frederick Wentworth received the news of Anne's engagement only hours too late, and yet those hours were as good as a lifetime. And since he, too, could no longer conceive of any better prospects, he cast his eyes about for a satisfactory match, and pursued Anne's husband's sister, Louisa. It was his choice to do so, and so perhaps, in the end, this was all his own fault.
(Or, five times that it was too late for Anne and Frederick to be together, and one time when it was better late than never.)

Summary
Two women teach Percy to knit. One is English and one is French; one is from the life he's left behind him while the other is from the life he's chosen for himself. He doesn't tell either of them that he plans to disguise himself as a tricoteuse—but then, they both probably guess more than they let on.

Here's one way the theft of the Falcon wings from Fort Meade could have gone. Written for Purimgifts 2016, a multi-ficlet exchange where your stories must focus on either a female character, a Jewish character, or someone being persecuted by an evil vizier...so I wrote one of each!

Such a well-conceived canine POV about a dog who really existed and who was the goodest dog in the world. A must-read for any animal lover. <3

Summary
Albus Dumbledore rose to his feet, smiling at them in that way of his, like he knew something you didn't and he was proud of you for it. "Friends," he began.
The door thudded open and the Marauders burst in, late and pink-cheeked with cold. The headmaster smiled at them, too, and Sirius gave a cheery little salute back.
Severus sunk lower in his chair, staring witheringly over his butterbeer. "You told Potter about it, too?"
"He might as well put all that energy to good use," said Lily. "And, to be accurate, I told Remus."
"But Potter, really?" said Severus.
"He and Black cooked up a jinx that gives you a boil every time you say a slur to a Muggleborn," said Lily. "It was either invite them to Alice's war club or bake them cookies, and I know where my skills lie."
Severus sniffed. "Don't come crying to me if he tugs your pigtails."
"Come crying to me if he pulls yours, and I'll deck him," said Lily.
(Slight AU in which Severus apologizes, tries harder, and stays friends with Lily)

the brightest witch of her age by dirgewithoutmusic

Summary
When Hermione Jean Granger was one year old her parents died in a car crash. She knew all about it because she asked a lot of questions and her aunt and uncle believed in answering them.
Why is the sky blue, auntie? Why are b's and d's like in the mirror? Where do songs come from? Why did Jenny Hopkins call me a--?
Her father had accelerated into a green light, like you were supposed to. (By the time she was eight, Hermione had the driver's rulebook memorized). A truck driver, going the opposite way, hadn't stopped at a red.
Hermione had been strapped in a car seat in the back, her aunt and uncle told her. She hadn't been hurt at all except for the scar that stood out, jagged, on her forehead.
As Hermione grew up into a gangly, bushy-haired, buck-toothed wonder, she thought she could remember it-- a glaring green light, a rush of cold air.
