Summary
Chapter 18 of Fool's Errand, "Fool's Kiss" - except Lord Golden kisses Tom Badgerlock instead of Civil Bresinga, resulting in a cataclysmic revelation for Fitz.
A Fitzloved fix-it that preempts the Quarrel so we (and they) can have a better time, as a Winterfest treat.

Summary
When people are desperate they turn to faith. Panem has done a good job creating a truly secular society, stamping out the religions of the past, but nothing can stop new gods from rising.
-
Or: When Gaea curses Percy to live in a world without the gods, he winds up in District 4 and is chosen as tribute for the 70th Hunger Games. From there, everything just kind of spirals.

“Do I remind you of him?” she asked suddenly.
It seemed pointless to dissemble. “Yes. You do. Where is he?”
“In a safe place. You are very fond of him, aren't you? You love him?”

Summary
The thought of Amber waiting hopefully and futilely each day for scraps of love and attention from that scowling man set Jek's hackles rising, and she pulled Amber in a little bit closer to her. "You can do better, you know," Jek whispered, letting her lips seek out and find Amber's fine, wispy hairline. "You can do so much better than him."
Jek pays Amber a visit in the wake of a terrible quarrel. Comfort abounds. So do emotions better left untouched.

Summary
In 1993, Gilderoy Lockhart points a stolen wand at Harry Potter and Ron Weasley with the intent to Obliviate them. The wand doesn't backfire. Gilderoy's "discovery" of the Chamber of Secrets is a short-term success.
Other consequences are not short-term at all.
Archived Author's Notes:
I was watching the Chamber of Secrets movie several years back when the scene in question began to play...and immediately I wanted to know what would happen if the wand had done what it was supposed to do. The answer got very complicated, very, *very* quickly.Blame Edgar Allan Poe for the title.
Beta work by Norcumi and Mrs_Stanley. Brit Spellcheck will be performed...soon.
*I use the first 7 books and the Tales of Beedle the Bard as canon, but there are moments from the films used because they left me with fun things to play with.

Summary
In a world where Voldemort's victory brought forth the golden age of pureblood supremacy, young Harry - an average Durmstrang student - grows surrounded by the same propaganda that has become the gospel truth of the Wizarding World. Injustice is a norm and racism is not only accepted, but actively encouraged. Embracing the status quo becomes harder when Harry finds himself in a train station where the living should not dwell, and a dangerous friend who goes by the name "Tom".

It only goes downhill from there.

Summary
“Every demon on record is described as either monstrously terrifying or breathtakingly beautiful,” Sherlock says. “I have never heard of a demon with a forgettable face and a propensity for ugly jumpers.”
The demon looks down at his jumper. Okay, so it might not be the most flattering article of clothing in the world, but it sure looks a hell of a lot more comfortable than Sherlock’s two-sizes-too-small shirt.
