Summary
One week after the end of the war, and Ginny is the only child still in the house. Molly thought, automatically, that the whole brood would fly home to her. In the summer, when her children were still children, she would stand at the twilight doorway with a sonorous to her throat and watch them race across the meadows towards her, the kitchen windows their lighthouse across a sea of dark. Tall, rangy Bill herding Fred and George, Ron and Ginny chasing each other in squabbling circles, Percy with a mouth already full of complaints and accusations, Charlie loping slowly, always last. But Bill is with his own family now. Charlie is in Romania. Percy writes her fearful owls and avoids his father’s gaze. George is apparently drunk in the flats of various friends. Ron bounces between George and Harry, trying to watch over them, flooing back home to grab soup and hangover potion. So only Ginny - her much-loved girl, her longed-for daughter, her baby - is in the house, and that fact should not fill Molly with dread.

Summary
The orchard is a wild, thousand-flower, crumpled-gate, fall-down-fence sort of place, where things grow that you never asked for, that you’d never expect. The summer of ’96, the story of something flowery he thought he might have smelled at the Burrow.
Canon-compliant, oneshot, summer between OotP and HBP. Non-linear narrative, flashbacks/flash-forwards to DH. Harry/Ginny.

Summary
The Lupin family's days in hiding before the end of the war.
Another day, in the other world where they were happy, he might have waltzed her round the table to the bacon's sizzles and pops. They might have pulled their chairs together and eaten elbow-to-elbow like schoolkids, slapping their rashers and toast into sandwiches, nudging each other and grinning with their mouths full. She might have given him a kiss so deep and furiously sincere that a bit of her sandwich would end up in his mouth.
But none of that happened today.

Summary
Remus Lupin takes comfort in something he stole from Tonks.
I always talk too much and make things worse, she said glumly. I wish I was like you. You don't overexplain. You always leave people wondering.
That made him cough a bit on his swallow of butterbeer. Do I?
She was quiet for a moment, peeling at the paper label on her bottle, chewing her bottom lip like she was trying to decide if she should go on.
Well, I wonder about you, she said at last, and she quickly looked up at him and back down, and a tiny smile was playing at the corners of her mouth, and for the first time, but not the last, Remus felt a frightful, wondrous, plummeting feeling in the deep of his gut, like everything inside him in tumbling freefall, and then Ginny Weasley and the twins burst into the kitchen squabbling about something and Remus muttered an excuse and fled to his room.

Summary
"Penny for your thoughts?" said a voice in the dark.
One minute Remus had been alone in the garden, leaning against the Weasleys' broomstick shed, facing away from the Burrow and that peculiar limbo between Order meeting and wedding preparations. But then he lit up, and the flame briefly illuminated the face of Hermione, now lounging next to him.
Remus allowed himself a deep drag before answering, "Life's but a walking shadow." She'd get it.
Her frown confirmed that she did. "Macbeth sort of mood?" she asked.
Macbeth sort of world, Remus thought.

Summary
"Arthur is incongruously here with him, materializing out of the night, a last fever dream before Eames goes. That makes sense, Eames has a chance to think fondly, and then he’s gone."
*
IN WHICH: Eames tries to find a face that fits, tries to stop hanging out in alleys & wearing tank tops like a slutty DJ, and Arthur? Arthur just tries, really hard, at everything.

Summary
When Eames stands to clean his plate, he asks Arthur, ‘How’d you get into the werewolf business?’
‘I could ask you the same.’
Eames turns on the tap, raises his voice. ‘Oh, that’s easy. Bad luck.’ The oily remnants of egg slide into the sink. ‘Your turn.’

“Jingyan, pour the tea,” ordered Lin Shu, stretched sweating on the scorched grass.
“Pour it yourself,” said Jingyan.
“I can’t, I’m dead. Nihuang has killed me. Murdered by his fiancée when he was still a beautiful young gentleman, that’s what they’ll say. A tragedy! Anyway you should do it, you’re the waterbender.”

Bookmarker's Notes
"If I died an' you had some reason to believe it was your fault -- won't be your fault, course, but I know you -- anyway, 'f I died, could you let me go?"
"Yes," Eames says. This part, he's thought about before, more often than he'd like, and no matter how hard it would be to lose Gwen, he won't go down Dominick Cobb's path of self-destruction. "It would hurt like hell and back, but I'd find a way to make peace."
Gwen nods to herself. "Have to make sure I die first, then," she mumbles, and falls asleep.
Eames stares into the darkness for a long, long time.
