Best Laid Schemes

Alastor’s shadow has a mind of its own, thank you very much. It does what it’s told when it comes to Alastor, but whenever its master has nothing specific planned for it, his shadow likes to wander. To explore the depths of the hotel and try and get a feel for it. Sneaking around, trying to scare other people’s shadows, and see if it can gather any useful information for Alastor. But his shadow is also an extension of its master, the thoughts he cannot bring himself to voice aloud. What happens when his shadow begins to wrap itself around a certain spider?

Winona is called to fix the cock-up of the Yorktown's engines. She uses one of the science-bitches to help her do it.

Lance is nesting, but his alpha doesn't realise.

In the end, they would tell their comrades it was just a nasty mess and a bloody conspiracy. Though, to be honest, Ambulon did not mean to make a mess of himself.

Inspired by a post on Tumblr, this is a AU story set during Harry's sixth year at Hogwarts, with one big, foul-mouthed difference. Instead of Horace Slughorn, the position of Potions professor will be taken on by...Gordon Ramsay.

It seems like everyone in the extended family that surrounds Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth is getting their happy ending, or moving on to something new and bright - except for Klavier and Simon. They just seem to be stuck in limbo, with neither of them moving on from the events of the past eight years. That's not all they have in common, they both have an imprisoned elder sibling they visit on the same day of the week. Starting with awkward encounters at the prison, they gravitate towards each other during the year-long build up to the Wright-Edgeworth wedding. Maybe, with help from each other and the family, they'll feel more alive by the time the rings are exchanged.

Quite frankly, Dirk is sick of the universe by now. It’s only been 10 years, 10 years of running around doing its bidding and never getting a single thing back for himself. No friends, no relationships, not even a single kiss after 10 years, no matter how many cases he solves, how many cats he returns to lost owners, or flowers he saves from evil gardeners. - Or, 4 times the Universe cockblocks Dirk Gently, and the 1 time it actually helps him.

A world in which no one locks their damn door.

Brooke was just the crew's musician; the only thing he could do was remain at Luffy's side and sing to him, the song of pirates- a song of bravery and farewell and hope, long after hope was lost. For Luffy, who had given him a home and a family and the sun itself, Brooke wished he could do more.

"Why do you even care?" "I don't care!" (Aka) The one where Nathan's jealous that his brother is hitting on Simon and he totally, in fact, does care.

(Y/n) finds her life to be messed up yet again. Too many guys are after (Y/n). And that effects everyone! Enjoy! ;-)

"I want to watch you transform."

At Voldemort‘s rebirthing ceremony, Fenrir discovers the scent of a Lycan bearer, a human with the ability to bear pure blooded werewolves if changed into one themselves. Fenrir rescues his potential mate only to discover it is none other than Harry Potter. Warnings: Eventual Mpreg, Slash Fenrir/Harry

Erin is tired of being seen as a prim, proper, tweed-wearing wallflower. Being a Ghostbuster has made her bold, and she's about to show everyone - but especially Holtzmann - why people joke about 'the quiet ones.' Or, that one where Erin turns into a total top and shows Holtz who's boss.

All Hermione wanted out of her evening was to close up the pub in peace and quiet. That plan sort of went out the window when she was kidnapped by Draco Malfoy, who proceeded to drop a baby on her lap. Also known as the one that's almost but not quite a Muggle AU.

Harry Potter is dead. In the aftermath of the war, in order to strengthen the might of the magical world, Voldemort enacts a repopulation effort. Hermione Granger has an Order secret, lost but hidden in her mind, so she is sent as an enslaved surrogate to the High Reeve until her mind can be cracked. Illustrated by Avendell.

Alex has a surprise for Maggie. Maggie is about to get crazy.

Gabriel likes to show up from time to time and start invisibly fucking one of the boys. Today it's Dean's turn.

When Otabek and Mila start dating, it feels like Yuri’s been punched in the gut. No, correction: it feels like Otabek’s punched him in the gut, and the guy doesn’t even realize it. Worst of all, it’s all Yuri’s fault. He’d been the one to encourage them, after all. Then this hyperactive little nugget of a skater comes out of nowhere and barrels into Yuri's life and just makes things worse. Or better. Yuri hasn't decided yet.

Harry finds Draco on the Astronomy Tower.

She sniffs. “Low blow and unoriginal. That’s the twentieth time you’ve threatened that. Wow, you must really be losing it today.” She says this with no sympathy and flips a page in her book. Kabru lets out what he thinks is a very deserved groan of misery. - Kabru, and the agonies of having Marcille Donato as a coworker.

He seduced. I fought. He charmed. I bickered. He made a deal. I signed the contract. We both knew the risks were dire. Yet, we still got involved in this game of chance.

The penthouse on the top floor of one of the highest skyscrapers in town is obscenely luxurious... Behind the piano Alec notices a well-furbished bar - he could use something strong, at the moment - but he won’t be allowed to have a drink, will he? Everything in this place speaks about money, and opulence and gives off sinful, decadent vibes. Alec wasn’t expecting anything less from the prominent man they had come to visit. The meeting is about an important matter that his master, the High Warlock of Brooklyn, needs to discuss with his counterpart, the High Warlock ruling over the City of Angels.

Dr. Gyro Zeppeli wonders about Johnny's sexual response since the shooting that left him without the use of his legs. For purely professional reasons. Definitely just regular medical curiosity.

He gets the “de-aging,” or whatever they called it. The technology here is way too ahead to be anything but the future, but a spouse? A family? That can’t be true. Howard was right when he told Tony that no one would stick around.

Four years. Four years they’d been together when their relationship hit a fork in the road - Luka wanted a baby, Adrien did not. After going their separate ways Adrien spends a fantastic night with a down-on-her-luck stranger named Marinette and realises he does want forever. He’s ready to commit to Luka. Slight problem, the one night stand left Marinette pregnant…
