    Summary

    Answering the prompt: a conversation between Ender Wiggin and the Doctor.
    --

    Any conversation between these two needs Jane the ansible and Sexy the TARDIS in the background, forming a support group for Extra-Dimensional and Temporally-Unstuck Beings Who Fall in Love with Repenting, Self-Destructive, Genius Children Whose Brilliance Only Gets them in Trouble.
    -
    Can you imagine the Doctor stumbling upon the Hive Queen though? He too is mourning a whole species. He is their son and he is their killer. The book would tremble in his hands.

    Can you imagine him stumbling upon the Hegemon and seeing himself in Peter?

    He would shake for days— Peter’s arrogance, his As God Am I righteousness, the benevolent dictator who saved the world, who erased Donna’s mind to save her life, who makes decisions for other people, who wins.

    But the Speaker who wrote Peter Wiggin’s life story loved him. The author was honest, evenhanded, condemning as well as kind— but he loved Peter, this bully and this savior of Man. It is written into every line of the Hegemon, and for all it shakes the Doctor to see his selfsame rightoeus arrogances written out on the page, he puts down the book and he feels seen.

    Summary

    Cho cried and she survived Pansy Parkinson's cruel jabs about a dead boy. She wept and she passed all her classes, kept up with Quidditch, watched fairweather friends scatter in the cold wind. She got very good at wordlessly summoning tissues and she joined the DA against her parents' wishes.

    They had told her to behave, begged her, ordered her, as the threatening darknesses of the world clung close even inside Hogwarts, and Cho walked out to the little pub in Hogsmeade and wrote her name down on Hermione's list.

    I hope someone in the DA told Cho that she ought to have been in Gryffindor.

    I hope she laughed at them, hard.

    Integrity. Truth. Honor. Dedication. These were the tenets of her House, of the blue and the bronze, the eagle called raven (called nerd, called stuck-up, called so many things that were not their names). Bravery was only one way to be a hero.

    Summary

    Isaac gets pulled into their crazy, but he loves it, really.

    "He expects them to forget about him, now that their latest supernatural disaster isn't tied up in his dad's graveyard.
    Two days later it's Christmas Eve, and he hasn't managed to wake on Christmas morning not in the freezer in years. He's huddled on top of his bed with his legs pulled to his chest, waiting, because it's still morning, he has hours more until it will get really bad.
    His phone buzzes from a number he doesn't recognize.
    Hey, I know it's Christmas Eve and all, but I was wondering if you'd meet me for lunch? The diner on main street at 1?
    Ok, he sends back, figures it's Stiles, and even if it's not, it's better than staying here."
