    Summary

    Steve was a mage, not a fighter: he'd entered the tournament to face other mages. But when he had to face the Winter Soldier, he never thought he'd wind up being responsible for him, even if it was only for the time it took to get him off the Baron's lands. He hadn't dreamed it would lead to the Winter Soldier following him through half the kingdom.

    Steve wasn't sure why it was happening, he wasn't sure what the man wanted, but for the moment he was willing to wait and see. He just hoped he wasn't making a terrible mistake.

    Summary

    SETTING THE SCENE: In 1939, Yorkshire, once a haven of tranquility, began to resonate with the distant thunders of war. The construction of military bases turned the quiet county into a hub of wartime activity. With the war came not only fear but also profound shortages. The Abbey’s farms, tasked with meeting the increased demands for food, found themselves struggling. The military presence brought business and complications, as soldiers needed supplies, accommodation, and support. The estate faced renewed financial pressures, echoing crises of the past. But the house stood, flag waving tall, with Anna and Andy running the household. Downton becomes a sanctuary for Tom, Sybbie, Lucy, their youngest child, Marigold, Edith, and Peter. With Bertie Pelham entangled in diplomatic duties across a fracturing Europe, it made sense for Edith to come home. Tom, however, had a harsher reality. Brampton Estate was taken over by soldiers and destroyed.

    Summary

    For October, I wrote a series of short fics on my Tumblr, based on a list of prompts. The short stories span different verses and relationships, and each chapter will start with a note listing the characters, relationships, established verse (if any) and any warnings.

    Summary

    What if, when Petunia Dursley found a little boy on her front doorstep, she took him in? Not into the cupboard under the stairs, not into a twisted childhood of tarnished worth and neglect—what if she took him in?

    Petunia was jealous, selfish and vicious. We will not pretend she wasn’t. She looked at that boy on her doorstep and thought about her Dudders, barely a month older than this boy. She looked at his eyes and her stomach turned over and over. (Severus Snape saved Harry’s life for his eyes. Let’s have Petunia save it despite them).

    Let’s tell a story where Petunia Dursley found a baby boy on her doorstep and hated his eyes—she hated them. She took him in and fed him and changed him and got him his shots, and she hated his eyes up until the day she looked at the boy and saw her nephew, not her sister’s shadow. When Harry was two and Vernon Dursley bought Dudley a toy car and Harry a fast food meal with a toy with parts he could choke on Petunia packed her things and got a divorce.
