    Summary

    Lae’zel is seven and a half hours into her shift when the customer’s voice thunders through her headset: “GOOD MORROW, SERVICE WORKER. I HAVE FOR YOU A REQUEST IN NEED OF SWIFT FULFILLMENT.”

    Briefly muting her mic, Lae’zel unleashes a torrent of language foul enough to raise the hackles of a red dragon. (Luckily, none of her coworkers speak a lick of gith.) “Lower your volume,” she commands. “...Please,” she adds grudgingly. Her manager’s already written her up twice for ‘inappropriately combative behavior.’

    -------------------------

    Modern AU. Lae'zel and Shadowheart, employees at Fantasy McDonald's, contend with an aggravating customer: Dame Aylin.

    Summary

    The past will not let go of Jenevelle DeVir, no matter how much she drinks it away. The divorce. The addictions. The secrets. She's not the praying type, but if she were, she'd pray her new therapist, Shar, can finally get her the help she needs.

    >>MIND THE TAGS. Seriously. <<

    A modern AU story about hunger, desire, and what happens when you can't move on. <3

    Summary

    For supposedly being one of the finest Knowers in decades, Tally often felt like she knew very little.

    She didn't know how to process the dreams that kept her up at night since becoming un-biddied. Mothertongue, that was tough. Handling Raelle and Abigail's teasing about her life choices, that could be a lot.

    And mostly, she definitely didn't have a clue how to handle having a debilitating attraction and world-class crush on the most powerful woman on the literal planet, who definitely would never feel the same way.

    Anyway. It was fine. It was all just fine.

    Or,

    Tally's nightmares never stop; in fact, they become a form of emotional torture that keeps her up at night. Alder, in a twist, agrees to help Tally through late-night meetings, and Tally is faced with an entirely different kind of emotional torture.

    Summary

    A clash in the Time Room in the Department of Mysteries sends Hermione back in time thirty-three years, from 1996 to 1963. There, she's forced to contend with a drastically different pre-war Wizarding World where blood-based prejudice and rigid class structures rule the day, and maybe worse, Bellatrix Black as a classmate. But getting involved with Bellatrix Black in any capacity means dealing with her family's problems, too.
