Summary
Tricia Stump is writing a master's thesis on vampire anthropology.

Meanwhile, Beckett and the Dandies are trying to get along long enough to win a turf war, Greta wants the handsome boy in the rose vest to turn her, and Cassadee wants to know what's in the attic. And what do the mysterious arms dealers known as Cobra have to do with everything?

Summary
I tried to write a small Save Fred fic my freshman year of high school, and it got away from me and became so much more. Presenting the life and times of Verity MacLaren: her upbringing in Malfoy Manor, her struggles at Hogwarts, and her friendship (and more) with one Fred Weasley.
This fic has been sitting on my Google Docs since 2012, and I'm finally posting it, only lightly edited, because young Riley put a hell of a lot of work into it, and you know what? More people should see it. She deserves it (She being high school Riley and also Verity, whom I have grown deeply fond of). -

Summary
"Hallie saw the painting he’d done of Natalie Phelps, once. Patrick was flat on his back that week. Mono. Hallie definitely had it too--Patrick swore she was Patient Zero--but she had it like a literary consumptive: hectic with fever, aching for what life she could grasp before illness took her out. So, she dropped in on Natalie Phelps’s post-midterms house party. It was a comedown from “Victorian vampire castle masquerade ball,” or whatever her fevered brain dreamed up, but beggars and choosers."
