“Everyone deserves a chance for equal representation.” That was Hermione Granger's platform, and she was going to stand by it. “If I would have known who you were, I would have prepared better documentation.”

The woman’s smile didn’t change. “If you knew who we were,” she said carefully, “you wouldn’t have come.”

Dramione with vampires. Rebooted for more depth and despair.

For inmyownlittlecorner's Regency Rep Challenge

 

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.

All things considered, it is quite hard to run away properly, when your friends can, quite literally, follow you to the Ends Of The Universe And Back.

 

This is fairly annoying when your friends' primary motivations for hunting you down seems to be to pretend that Everything's Fine Without Him, Really, ruin your perfectly-sweet, perfectly-quiet happiness with a sudden onset of Relationship Crisis, and to sidle you into playing Therapist when your only qualifications for the role are that you were once (sort of; it's a long story) a God and/or have previously given some Exciting News to a random virgin woman and some shepherds, neither of which are particularly helpful.

 

Beelzebub is Mildly Furious, Gabriel is Quietly Amused: together they're, well, sort of just... Meh about it all?

Cedrella Black is expected to marry well and raise a line of perfect, pureblood children, who further the aims of the society she was born into. But as she navigates the politics surrounding Wizarding Society's London Social, Cedrella finds herself inconveniently bumping into Septimus Weasley, a flirtatious fortune hunter with a family secret. While her parents push her to marry another, she slowly discovers she has more in common with Septimus than she ever dreamed possible.

There are Jiangshi corpses on the streets, a statue dancing through the parks, and rumours of Yin Iron and corruption slipping in with the mists from the sea.

 

These things are normal.

 

There is a toddler found alone on a boat and burning, a strange man with a red ribbon sits in Lan Wangji's seat, and the Little Apple Twist mocktail now has vodka.

 

These things are not.

 

Or, Wei Wuxian returns to Hong Kong and really, everything spirals out of control from there.

The three of us were close, that was true. Rose had always been my best friend growing up, but when I met Scorp we just connected on so many different levels, and in a lot of ways he knew me better than Rose ever could.

Emotions were never Jin’s strong suit. At least, not when it was their emotions in question. Elza was the best out of the Roche triplets for that, but she wasn’t there to do it, and Jin didn’t plan to break the news to their brother while sober. Not when they were barely keeping it together themself.

Cœur du lion - mon cœur - mon frère, je suis noyé. 

 

The line between the living and the dead is stretched thin, fragile and breakable like glass; there are ghosts in the stars, ghosts in his head, and everything fades with the dawn. 

 

They say Regulus is dead. They say Lord Voldemort is fled, a wraith wrapped in smoke. 

 

They say, they say - but what do normal people know?
