An Afternoon's Stroll by Oriondruid Stale Result (Last seen: )

You never know what you'll see or who you'll bump into in London if you go out for a stroll. In my case it was completely life changing.

An Education by Oriondruid Stale Result (Last seen: )

After the war Hermione and Ron discuss their futures and take different paths, don't worry though Romione 'shippers', they're not splitting up! A simple little drabble about the post war Wizarding World and the couple making their way in it.

Every Good Turn, (A Muggle in the Ministry) by Oriondruid Stale Result (Last seen: )

Little did Dennis know that the Halloween fancy dress party he was going to would lead him into an entirely new world of romance and magic.
I for one didn't feel that a certain villain even came close to getting his due 'comeuppance' in The Hunger Games, his death was too 'mild' by far. So I wrote this somewhat gory little drabble to balance that and bring an element of the story's title into play.
A different 'take' on Thresh's mistaken revenge attack on Clove, one with a happy ending! Rated T only as a precaution due to description of a serious injury. No graphic violence.
Clove finds herself on her podium in the arena, but it's not what she is expecting, where is the Cornucopia and where are her fellow Tributes? Why does everything feel so wrong? This is somewhat linked to my story called To Banish Darkness but in this Clove is not trapped in the Arena but immediately joins her fellow ex-Tributes and is helped by Rue.
Rue knew as soon as she met Katniss that she was special and that she was destined to lead everyone in Panem to freedom. This is why she had such faith. A sweet tale told to her friend by 'The Little Girl who Should Have Lived', but who sadly didn't. :o(
Two famous young heroines meet in their dreams and vow friendship Hermione Granger and Katniss Everdeen meet in a strange wood and discuss their lives. Rated K solely for a hunted animal that is killed. Although complete as a one-shot I may continue this if it proves popular.
Valhalla, the place where Norse heroes go after they die, a place where they fight fiercely and joyously all day and even if they are slain are reborn to feast and carouse all night for all eternity in Odin's Hall. But Hunger Games Tributes were not Norse heroes, simply murdered children, so where did they go when they died? Rated T for as a precaution, some fairly mild violence.
Railway trains are not only important to the pupils of Hogwarts to take them back and forth to school. They also the carry Tributes to The Capitol to take part in The Hunger Games, and take their dead bodies home to their grieving parents. So perhaps it is possible that sometimes spirits from both worlds might meet at 'that' station, in the pristine whiteness outside time.
This is based on the short scene in the movie just after Katniss comes off stage from her interview with Caesar Flickerman. It's where I see the romance between Haymitch and Effie first beginning, although at the start it's more like a war! Rated T only as a precaution, very mild sexual content only.
All lives come to an end, even those of heroes and heroines. This is how Katniss and Peeta enter their afterlife and the joyous reunion they find there. This is a follow up to my previous story To Banish Darkness, but can be read separately. This 'stand alone' one-shot may later be extended as and when I am able to do so.
After surviving two Hunger Games Arena battles and bringing about the overthrow of the evil Capitol regime of President Snow, more than anybody Katniss Everdeen and Peter Mellark deserved to be happy and at peace. Sadly though they were still both tortured by terrible nightmares. But perhaps there was one place that could help? Rated T as a precaution only, milder than the books.
One night, long after the events told in Mockingjay, Peeta and Katniss Mellark, by now a very old couple, are sleeping and find themselves sharing the same strange dream. They both awake to find themselves back in the 74th Hunger Games Arena, both of them young again. This is who they meet there and is a story of love, forgiveness and redemption. I may post a follow up later.

F This, I'm Going To Hogwarts! by Oriondruid Stale Result (Last seen: )

These Harry Potter song lyrics are not entirely mine, but they are an almost complete rewrite intended to Anglicise a song which was originally written by the female American musician Lauren Fairweather and make it more 'culturally relevant' to UK Harry Potter fans. The original American version is available from You Tube amongst other online sources and is brilliant!
Rue meets Prim after they die, they realise they're 'deep in the meadow' and that all their fears and tragedies are over. Contains spoilers for the books. Rated K only for known character deaths. 'Here it is the place where I love you'. Dedicated to 'The little girl who didn't live', but who should have! Blessed Be dear Rue.

The Trial of Draco Malfoy by Oriondruid Stale Result (Last seen: )

This is an event I always wondered about. This is my 'version'. The story is a rewrite as some felt, and I agreed, that the original ending was a bit weak and badly flawed. I hope this new attempt is better.

Gred & Forge's 'Christmas Song' by Oriondruid Stale Result (Last seen: )

I am posting this little Christmas story now, in summer, as it has been a particularly bad spring and early summer here in Britain. What with the months of foul weather, the Banking Crisis, Euro Crisis, Austerity, Political, Media & Financial Corruption Crisis and the oncoming End Of The World I thought we could all use a little out of season Christmas Cheer. Blessings All.
Crossover Harry Potter/Underworld story. Remus Lupin, whilst on his mission amongst the werewolves, befriends two mysterious 'refugees'. They help out at the Battle of Hogwarts. Late chapter of a possible longer story to come.

The Boy Who Triumphed by Oriondruid Stale Result (Last seen: )

This one-shot is a revised and extended version of an earlier 'incarnation' of this story/article/ramblings/whatever you like to call it, regarding my own personal version of the post-war wizarding world, within which I tend to write much of my fiction. It is simply a description of the changes that have brought about the current state of the Wizarding World as it exists today.

The Pen Is Mightier Than The Sword by Oriondruid Stale Result (Last seen: )

A short AU story based off the movie scene where the DA members having been caught by the vile Dolores Umbridge and are all sat in rows in the hall, being forced to write lines using her cursed 'torture quills'. This is what I would have arranged to happen if I were in the DA! Rated T only due to character death, but then again it's one we all wanted to happen anyway! :o

In The Dungeon by Oriondruid Stale Result (Last seen: )

Professor McGonagall sent the older Slytherins to their Common Room in the dungeons during the Battle of Hogwarts, but was she right to mistrust them, and did they all stay there and hide? Very slightly AU.

Ronald and the Muggle Doodad by Oriondruid Stale Result (Last seen: )
