AU halloween episode, pre-switch oneshot. Classic Who, 4th Doctor. "Were you going for Ironic Guy, or were you just feeling lazy?" Buffy asked, gesturing to screwdriver in Xander's hands, which he'd authentically and cleverly labelled 'SONIC' in sharpie.

John's phone is possessed; Sherlock is unsympathetic. But John ruthlessly puts Sherlock in his place when the tables turn. All's fair in love and texting, after all. Mostly crack!fic, with some tender moments. Gen.

Post s2. John's friends and acquaintances have unrealistic expectations. John appears to have swallowed a dictionary. A story in which John grieves, but doesn't fall apart. Some bad language, ambiguous references to J/S can be ignored . Gen.

The Doctor wanted to study him for hours: John's reactions, his strategies, his mind - and his understated, morbid, socially unaccepted expression of love and loss. No slash, now finished! Post s2.

Alert: asymptotically approaches BtVS x-over. John faces a new job title and startling transformation; Sherlock keeps John grounded by being both utterly himself and strangely human. And amazingly, nothing changes. Magic-induced gender manip. No slash.

AU. Neville was the Boy-Who-Lived. James recently died in an Auror accident. Lily is off in her own world, wrought with grief, but Harry doesn't want to feel at all. Harry wants to be a machine. Mentor-fic; not as depressing as it sounds.

AU, one-shot. If you asked Harry what he was the very best at, he would have said running. Draco hadn't run in years, but he still remembered the sensation. No slash.

You could tell a lot about a person by how they kissed, Luna knew. Both het and femmeslash; does include Luna-crossover ships.

When he's on top of Buffybot, it's easy to pretend. Then she opens her mouth and he remembers. Spike/Buffybot.

Series of Faith/Dawn drabbles. Drabble 3: 'law of effect.' Fear and vulnerability are not emotions Faith allows herself to feel. Not anymore. Not ever. But when Dawn touches her -- delicately, lovingly -- she feels them in spades.

Peter had a handle of Firewhiskey. James and Sirius had an idea. Remus had an objection, but of course no one listened to him.

Lily isn't like Severus; she does strange things, but she's still the heroine.

Oneshot. Sirius Black steps up to the stool wearing that arrogant, easy-going smile. The Sorting Hat sees through it. So does Lucius Malfoy. Dark; non-con; probably one of the more disturbing things I've written lately.

AU. What if Harry had been the one to grow up with Vernon’s ideals while Dudley dreamed of magic? Very dark. But surprisingly, not slash.

She's had moments of impulsivity, impropriety, and indiscretion: a look at Lily's more human side as told through a series of short prompts. Mainly SS/LE, but includes femmeslash.

Sirius is rather good at keeping secrets: the heat of a slender, aristocratic palm on the small of his back...Sirius turns over on his side and stares into sharp blue eyes just like his. Sirius/Regulus. Disturbing. Mentions of SB/RL.

AU. Instead of dying, Severus' soul is sent to a place he thought impossible - into the body of himself in another world. It's a world free of Dark Lords and debts to Dumbledore, but it bears a catch: no magic. SSHP slash.
