Summary
When people talk about Ponemah, they only ever mention the giant sandworms.
Well, that's a bit of a lie on several accounts. For one, nobody actually talks about Ponemah. It's a crappy backwater planet even to the crappy backwater pirates who make up most of the transient population. For another, if people not on Ponemah do mention it (which at this point is mostly the rotating cast of Imperial/First Order/insert-totalitarian-regime-of-your-choice jackboots that "occupy" the planet), it's usually to talk about the crappy backwater pirates that run the only real settlement on the planet. In reality, the giant sandworms are usually a surprise to newcomers, though a memorable one.
Mystery! Action! Introspection! Almost an entire cast of OC's and minor characters!
Sylas is a hunter living on the edge of nowhere during the Imperium. Circumstance throws her into contact with the Rebellion, where it turns out she may know more than she should. It's a difficult time, but family is what you make of it and a little kindness can go a long way.

Long United, Long Divided by 23Murasaki for alphamikefoxtrot
Fandoms: Star Wars - All Media Types, Star Wars Prequel Trilogy
03 Jan 2021
Tags
Summary
Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan find a prophesied chosen one and capture a Sith apprentice on Tatooine. This has ramifications for the Jedi as an institution and for the galaxy as a whole, of course, but the value of one man in the fate of all things is that of a single rice grain in a harvest. Dark powers are at work in the galaxy, and chaos waits for none.
(Or: The realization that I'm both taller and older than Darth Maul in TPM is really quire jarring and alphamikefoxtrot is a wonderful enabler, so instead of doing any of the many things I should be doing I'm writing prequels-era fic. Oops.)
Update 3 January: The fallout from Mortis and the resolution of the Sith holocron plot. Everything goes horribly wrong, because this is Star Wars with a side of Three Kingdoms, what do you expect.
This fic is now officially complete! Please check back for a sequel, hopefully starting next week.

Bookmarker's Notes
Not sure how to feel about this one. Gorgeous, yes. Intriguing, yes. Do I want to self-lobotomize now? A little. But I need to think about it.

no place like home by dirgewithoutmusic for Elennare
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
10 Jul 2015
Tags
Summary
When Petunia Dursley refused to take Harry in she forfeited his birthright protection, so Dumbledore took the baby to the safest place he knew: Hogwarts.
The applicable staff (mostly just… not Snape) took Harry in on a rotating schedule as he grew from baby to toddler to child. They traded extra credit for babysitting among the older students, and Harry grew up knowing a few dozen different laps that were safe and warm to nap in.
This was a Harry who grew up among books, among old transient walls and learned professors. They gave Binns night duty sometimes, and let him talk young Harry to sleep. This was a Harry whose world changed, on principle, daily. The stairs moved. The walls became doors. You had to keep your eyes open–you had to pay attention. So he did.
He grew up in a school. Knowledge was power, but knowledge was also joy. This was his sanctuary. There was magic in his world from birth.

Summary
Nonstop civilian protest duty for over a month, the senate's latest hobby seems to be getting abducted for kicks, and now he had to deal with a camdroid shaped pain-in-the-ass following his every move. The powers that be seemed to think that putting him and the rest of the Guard in some holo was the best way to work up some civilian sympathy. Well, at least there was no way his day could get any worse...

Summary
Harry Potter collapsed at the end of the war. He was living in a rundown house with no running water, surrounded by rubbish. That was, until Hermione came and dragged him out by the ear and reminded him he was still alive. That there was life after Voldemort. And he couldn’t live in a house without a working toilet. If he wasn’t going to hire someone, he’d have to sort it out himself. So he stepped into the world of magical plumbing and remembered a school trip to a water treatment plant when he was nine. He fell in love with the intricacies of pipes and water systems. And really, how much could go wrong sticking your wand in places it really ought not to be?
Or a story in which Kreacher eats crisps, Harry blows up toilets, Hermione takes an unplanned trip, and a whole lot of things become Draco’s problem.

Summary
After the war, Harry doesn’t return to the Auror Office. Instead, he builds something quieter—Harry’s Homewards Helpings, a business for magical home restoration, repairing wards and mending the kind of ruins people leave behind.
When a Ministry project pairs him with Draco Malfoy—now an apprentice at the Ministry Magical Pest Control Office under eccentric Oswald Pritchard—Harry expects awkward professionalism at best.But between singing snails, hidden histories, and the slow unearthing of old places and older wounds, something steadier begins to grow.
