Summary
Every myth contains a grain of truth. Every legend begins with a story. Every fantastical tale is real in some fashion.
Civilians have always claimed that Ninja are inhuman. (The civilian rumours are not wrong.) The Ninja have always dismissed the accusations. (They should not have.)
Just because Ninja a mostly human now does not mean that is the way it has always been...
... Or that it will remain that way.
Those that fall can also rise. Madara takes the first step. Tobirama follows. Together they make it the rest of the way. (They pave the way for others to follow.)

Hazel Katie by MotherInLore
Fandoms: Fairy Tales & Related Fandoms, 500 Kingdoms, Kate Crackernuts (Fairy Tale)
16 Oct 2015
Tags
Summary
The Scottish fairy tale Katie Crackernuts, as it happened in the 500 Kingdoms. In which: - Two stepsisters get along just fine, thank you; - A prince succeeds in writing good poetry, Godmother Elena has concerns about a coworker, A lot of people on a long trip speak in (I hope) not-too-impenetrable accents, A unicorn shows up quite late in the game and fails to advance the plot at ALL, the Tradition manifests itself more physically than usually, and the matter is concluded to most people's satisfaction. With a brief guest appearance by a creation of Christina Rosetti's.
I'm told my stories get moving slowly - if you like plot more than character you may want to start at Chapter 4 and see if that works.

Summary
littlebastardreviews posted the collected facts from the 2014 UK Editions of Harry Potter: and this fact caught my eye.
'Only one non-magical person has ever managed to get as far as the Hogwarts Sorting Hat before being exposed as a Squib.'
But, gosh it just makes me want a story where a squib did make it through. So here's a drabble about a squib with a quick mind and a hand-me-down wand, who refuses to be denied her birthright.
--
when the hat drops over her eyes it asks, 'well what do we have here?'
she’s got a forged hogwarts letter with penmanship that’s perfect down to the ink splatter;
she’s got a complicated string of owls, only half of them forged, from parents to administration to ministry that’s so complicated her name ended up on the first year roll call anyway.
she’s got ten arguments, four pleas, and one smothered threat on the tip of her mental tongue for why the house that comes out of this hat’s brim better not be 'squib'
she’s got a lighter up her sleeve and an eight and a half inch wand in her belt that will never, ever work for her.
'well,' says the hat, 'better be slytherin then'

13 Feb 2019
Summary
An AU crossover between Thor, Being Human (UK), and eventually The Avengers.
After falling from the Bifrost, Loki landed in the back garden of a small house in Bristol, England, and was taken in by the occupants-- supernatural creatures who know a thing or two about what it feels like to think you are a monster.
Now that he's no longer all alone, or entirely an outcast, Loki just wants a peaceful life. However, when you're the God of Mischief (even if you're technically an alien, and not a god at all) adventures just seem to find you...
