Summary
I let the icy wind batter my face as I put my back towards the flickering lights of the bars and brothels and faced the roiling River Seine. As slippery with drink and clouded with the dregs of last week’s ill-advised Pink Elephant Potion as my mind was, I knew that I had not imagined him this time. Sirius Black had sat down at a table across the dimly-lit bistro and, lighting up a cigarette, had stared me directly in the eyes through the smoky haze. He’d flicked a glowing ember onto the red-and-white-checked tablecloth and leaned back in his chair, watching.

Summary
Albus Dumbledore rose to his feet, smiling at them in that way of his, like he knew something you didn't and he was proud of you for it. "Friends," he began.
The door thudded open and the Marauders burst in, late and pink-cheeked with cold. The headmaster smiled at them, too, and Sirius gave a cheery little salute back.
Severus sunk lower in his chair, staring witheringly over his butterbeer. "You told Potter about it, too?"
"He might as well put all that energy to good use," said Lily. "And, to be accurate, I told Remus."
"But Potter, really?" said Severus.
"He and Black cooked up a jinx that gives you a boil every time you say a slur to a Muggleborn," said Lily. "It was either invite them to Alice's war club or bake them cookies, and I know where my skills lie."
Severus sniffed. "Don't come crying to me if he tugs your pigtails."
"Come crying to me if he pulls yours, and I'll deck him," said Lily.
(Slight AU in which Severus apologizes, tries harder, and stays friends with Lily)

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 1990, prominent Muggleborn research wizard Cromwell Albertson embarked on an ambitious project to interview six Muggle-born students – before and after their life-changing discovery of their wizarding talent. He continued these interviews over the next nine years, a period of time which spanned both the Chamber of Secrets attacks in 1992 and Voldemort’s second rise and subsequent persecution of Muggleborns in 1997. The Pensieve Projection that resulted won a Superbius award for artistic excellence in 2002 and has been required viewing in the Hogwarts Muggle Studies course since 2008.

Summary
This is a set of reference tables and lists for the Harry Potter series. They give a quick overview of which characters in various generations might have been in the same year at school.
Both canon sources (directly from the novels) and secondary sources are given. It's then up to you to decide which (if any) dates you believe are correct. Some dates are contradictory or highly unlikely. Others are very straightforward.
No movie sources have been used because the movies frequently differ from the books.

Summary
A list of reasons for Audrey Pluta’s sentence. Recorded as remembered, numbered and disordered. From war-grave and bone-substantial to paper-light and girl-accidental. Composed of memories, photographs, letters and pieces of history. Including, but not limited to: a laminated card from a nun; a Polyjuice Potion; a werewolf; an Unspeakably Confidential file; a conversation between a pureblood lady and a journalist; a patricide; Tehran conference; a disintegrating friendship between five girls of whom two were sisters, two were Slytherins, two fought in a war and two mutilated a jellyfish. Or: a mosaic of a three-named, two-tongued girl who lusted for secrets more than an employee of Ministry of Magic’s Archives ought to.

The crowd is thicker than before, and the room hotter. Grantaire’s mouth tastes like copper. Bahorel nods at him, spiked jacket slung over his shoulder, and Grantaire nods back, and waits.
They come on like the soldiers Enjolras named them.

Summary
Clint Barton's Super Secret Snipers' Club. (Invitation and pending mental health evaluation required.)
"When Steve brings Bucky back to the tower for the first time, Clint’s first thought is that Tony Stark’s pride and joy is quickly becoming a less of a very tall and expensive ‘fuck you’ in the faces of investors who don’t believe in self-sustaining energy, and more of a superhero rehabilitation center."
Boyfriends, compromises and learning to like oneself.

Summary
As a
supervillainsupercriminalcontract worker with a morality deficit, Clint Barton leads a glamorous life. You know, stolen cars, dangerous women, a really confusing relationship with a meddling do-gooder, the works. It's pretty awesome. Except for, uh, medical bills, the mob, and being on the run all the time. That part isn't all that awesome.(A supervillain AU where Clint shoots arrows at people and gets beat up a lot. So, not really that much of an AU.)

Summary
Steve broke up with Bucky the summer that he turned 19.
It wasn't the best decision he ever made.
It's almost ten years later, and Bucky's back, but Steve doesn't know what to do about that. He also doesn't know what to do about the fact that somebody is trying to destroy the building that he lives and works in, and all of the people in it.
But somebody's got to do something.
