    Summary

    Stephanie Lauter declares her major as late as she can possibly declare it without getting expelled from college. (Actually, later, by a couple of months. But her dad's 'generous donation' of hush money, is called hush money for a reason. So, we're not going to talk about that.)

    One of the most un-fucking-expected consequences, it turns out, to only declaring your major by your junior year, is being forced to tech this semester's production of the fucking Nutcracker.

    (Alternatively Titled: I take Lautski Week Day 1 Prompt: Sugar to it's most distant applicability by using it to make Peter Spankoffski a ballerina. You are welcome, Stephanie Lauter.)

    Summary

    She thinks that this is what love entails, warm houses and long hugs and baby fingers tangled in her hair and back rubs and hot tea at midnight - but sometimes it just feels like she’s walking that cliff’s edge, waiting for the other shoe to drop, waiting for the expectations to shift, knowing she can’t meet them. She’s never been loved before and she doesn’t know that when it stops being easy, stops being new- is it still there?

    Summary

    A fairy princess, lovely and fearsome, escapes from her home and a coerced marriage.
    A strange thing of fur and feathers, ugly and witty, finds a place and a friend in the Dark Forest.
    A daring warrior, mysterious and mighty, challenges the Bog King and matches him in skill.
    Who would’ve thought they’d all be the same girl?
    (Donkeyskin/Allerleirauh/Cap O’ Rushes AU, whatever you want to call it. Mostly inspired by--my personal favorite--the Jim Henson’s Storyteller adaptation.)

    Summary

    Everything happens more or less as it did in the movie, except things have been rearranged to suit the author's particular preferences at the expense of everyone else's.
    Sugar Plum has a back story and a real name, Love Potions are treated with the terror and respect they deserve, Sunny is inexplicably immune to fall damage, and King Dagda is a bit more of a jerk.

    Summary

    When the goblins raid the Elf Festival, Dawn isn’t the one who gets accidentally love-dusted. What can be done to stop a strong, fierce, desperately-in-love-(which-she-hates)-with-this-goblin-she-just-met Marianne? How is Bog going to get out of this alarming situation, especially when he feels himself falling for a fairy princess who obviously doesn’t actually love him and is just suffering the effects of a love potion?
