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

a life of smoke and silvered glass by dirgewithoutmusic

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
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling

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.

Awesome contrasting styles between the skeleton and the ghost. And both styles, as well as the color choice, are ones that I find appealing.

It's an exactly-drabble-length poem, and if that weren't enough, it's about the English language anthropomorphized as a pirate. How can this be less than fantastic?

The Nine Rules of the Maximoff Household by ActuallyGirl
Fandoms: X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014) - Fandom, X-Men (Movies)
11 Jul 2014
Tags
Summary
There were a couple of simple ground rules that everyone who lived in the Maximoff household had to oblige by. These, Magda told her children, were the unbreakable, unbending rules of their tiny universe and they should never ever stray from them. Ever. EVER. Except, they did, all the time.
Short story about the struggle of raising super-powered kids as a single parent. Slight DOFP-spoilers.

Shows a glimpse of Mrs. Maximoff's perspective on parenting, and the rules she's made to address the things the children get up to.

Wanda can manipulate math. Comes up with a plausible scenario where Wanda is the little girl we see in Peter's lap in the movie. Short but packs a lot in there; I really love this version of Wanda and the portrayal of her relationship with her brother.

Bookmarker's Notes
Tons of worldbuilding on how magic and science relate to each other, which I couldn't get enough of. :-) Loki, a challenging character to capture, is drawn very plausibly and is reasonably sympathetic without being flattened. My ideal Thor fanfic, as far as I'm concerned!
(Comments on content: If you don't like the Loki/Jane ship even when handled very well, you probably won't like this fic. There's one sex scene that is easy enough to skip if you're like me and skip such things. There was quite a bit of violence, which I didn't have a problem with but others might find stressful.)

I enjoy this ship, and the story was sweetly done. For characters we spend limited time with in canon, they were very well realized while true to their canonical versions.

Sources and Research Advice for the 00Q Method Ficcer by notbeloved07
Fandoms: Original Work
07 May 2013
Tags
Summary
I am discontinuing writing 00Q, because I'm not really feeling this fandom. However, I am a method ficcer, meaning I put a lot of effort into getting into my characters' heads when I'm writing them, and therefore do a lot of research for ficcing. I think some of what I learned might also be helpful for other writers in 00Q, so I decided to put them all in a post.
Some (but not all) topics covered here are: intercepting mobile calls, getting on secured wifi, lock picking, fighting, explosives, manipulating the the power grid, code injections, biometric security, and where to learn about computer security in general.
