Harry Potter | Gen; Poppy Pomphrey, Minerva McGonagall, Luna Lovegood | G | ~ 2,000 words
Poppy Pomfrey liked to sing. It was a little known secret, because although she indulged in singing quite frequently she very rarely gave anyone the chance to hear her sing. To put it kindly, she was tone deaf; to put it bluntly was to say she sounded like a hippogriff caught in a harpy's nest.
-- > Wonderful character study of Poppy Pomphrey. Love the setting during the seventh book. Love her friendships, and she is such an amazing character.

Harry Potter | Gen; Severus Snape, Albus Severus Potter | PG-13 | ~ 870 words
There are many stories about the Slytherin ghost, who rose when the Dark Lord died. And Old Al Potter's are the strangest of them all…

Harry Potter | pre Harry Potter/Severus Snape | G | 500 words
"Is this seat taken?"
Severus looked up and raised an eyebrow. "Your observational skills are surely lacking if you cannot see that it is not."

Hockey RPF | Jamie Benn/Tyler Seguin | PG-13 | ~ 17,600 words
After getting hit with a puck, Jamie can't remember Tyler Seguin getting traded to his team, doesn't remember the whole year they played together, but he knows what kind of Gatorade Tyler likes after a shootout and how that's different than what he drinks in a game. It's all very confusing, and it doesn't help that Tyler appears to be avoiding him.
-- > Nice story. Love the slow reveal.

Hockey RPF |
Jamie Benn/Tyler Seguin | NC-17 | ~ 7,950 words

Hockey RPF | Brooks Orpik/Alexander Ovechkin | PG-13 | ~ 12,600 words
Everyone has a primary human form and a secondary team form. When you join a new team, your second form slowly transforms to match. Players going to the Canucks become orcas. Players going to Toronto become maple leaves. Players going to D.C. become eagles. At least, that's how it's supposed to work.
It doesn't seem to be working for Brooks.
-- > Crack treated seriously. Love Brooks Orpik here, and his relationship to Ovechkin. Like the world-building.
