A new school year at Hogwarts is starting for the Golden Quartet, and it doesn't look good.

As the Marauders try to pick up the pieces of a damaged friendship and Harry struggles to get used to a new family and a new identity, Neville has to deal with his resentment for a role in the wizarding world that wasn't supposed to be his and discovers that maybe there's a reason if he belongs in Slytherin.

Meanwhile something obscure is crawling, menacing the safety of the students inside the castle...

Second installment in the Jimmy Portman's AU

Overcome by his lycanthropy, Remus slowly begins to lose control and is about to commit the worst. Sirius tries to hide his feelings for him while trying to escape his own family, and James, though in love with Lily, finds himself getting closer to a certain Slytherin.

As the Marauders' fifth year takes a dark turn, Voldemort grows in power.

All will soon be forced to make tough decisions.

Tiramisu is the name of an arctic fox who was brought to medieval England by an Italian trader and left at an abbey in Cambridgeshire to be the pet of two young boys who had been placed in the abbey by their families.  Set in the disastrous Fourteenth Century, this is the story of one of those boys, Martin, who had to endure what no fifteen-year-old should have to face--calamity. loss, grief--but also a story of friendship, survival, spirituality, and ultimately a connection to canon.

Written for the Bookshelf Challenge of Bex (Beyond the Rain).  The random quote prompt, "I started to step out of my clothes as Tom leaned against the doorframe," is from the book Queenie by Candice Carty-Williams.  My eternal thanks to Bex for giving me the impetus to write this one-shot that grew into a novel.

"Younger sons cannot marry where they like." - Col Fitzwilliam (Pride & Prejudice)

 ~

There’s little use in being a gentleman when you’re the younger son of a younger son. In fact, the person with the greatest chance of succeeding around here is Ginevra (if only she’d be reasonable).

But the willful sons and daughter of Burrough House in Devonshire may just find their way with a little nerve and a lot of heart (and some very unladylike behaviour).

A thoughtful gesture is enough to make someone's day. A Post Hogwarts story with both old characters we love, and new ones we learn to love.  

"Half the time, he’s not sure if he’s trying to escape his gloomy past or his equally grim-looking future, and it leaves him stuck running in place in a dismal present, going nowhere but leaving nothing behind, fighting a senseless war. With every passing day, every loss and vigil, every minute of silence for a fallen comrade, a hero, a martyr, he finds it more and more difficult not to contemplate the futility of it all, to delude himself into thinking he’s fighting for any other reason than because he must; not to fight would mean to simply not exist, to lose all connections he’s ever forged."

Remus comes home after another mission, reflects on the futility of war, and has to come to terms with some unpleasant news.

Willow Silver is about to navigate the magical world. Can she make friends and find the side she wants to fight for?

Five told himself that he was done being a hero. (In some strange twist of fate at the end of time, he had literally told himself to stop saving the world.) After stumbling into this time and place, he had finally managed some semblance of normalcy, or at least the world wasn’t trying to end itself every four days. Perhaps that was only because he wasn’t aware of it, but still. If he played his cards right, retirement would finally be within his reach, and the quiet of the universe had begun to suit him just fine.
