    Summary

    The phrase ‘Hell is forever’ that Alastor heard thrown about so often in the recent months had never felt more on point than it did now.

    With Charlotte in heaven and the rest of his rag-tag band of hotel occupants absent for the evening, what he really needs is a quiet evening alone.

    Unless of course... entertainment decides to come knocking on his door.

    Literally.

    Set as a look at the evening of the hotel's sole occupant in Episode 6, and the King who has 'forgotten' his daughter isn't there.
    1st part of a series in progress following in-betweens of episodes, but can be read as a standalone.

    Summary

    Without a word she brings an arm up and closer, covers that infinity between them like it was nothing, until he can see the spirals of her fingerprints, the divots between her knuckles. It hovers just above his cheek, the scent of something sterile and breezy, and he goes still, stays quiet.

    When she speaks, he can’t see her lips move. Her voice stems from everywhere, plays in perfect unity:

    “You don’t have to be him to be good, Gabriel.”

    -

    Ziegler is captured, wings clipped, halo stolen.

    He tells himself it's only fair.

    Summary

    Granny Rags attempts revenge for Corvo’s interference in the sewers - it doesn't quite go as planned. Corvo likes the fact that his name means ‘crow,’ but that doesn’t mean he ever actually wanted to be one, and for once Daud is (arguably) not responsible for this mess.

    Summary

    The Slytherins have always ruled the Sortilegus, a wizarding society magazine popular since the Middle Ages which lost most of its staff during the recent Unpleasantness (informally known as the Campaign against Noses). Pansy Parkinson has just been made the youngest witch ever to head the publication and has been charged with livening up the magazine and helping it move into post-war society whilst maintaining tradition.

    Which is all fine by Draco until she brings Harry Potter on staff, an obvious attempt to force Draco into a nervous breakdown by requiring him to work cheek-by-jowl with his arch-nemesis.
