"And stand together yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow." Kahlil Gibran. / Hotchreid. S4 start, complicated relationships, no character bashing.

"I guess I'm not ready to join the land of the living just yet," Harry says. "Need a little more time here at Hogwarts, with all the ghosts. You know what I mean?" In the aftermath of the war, Harry doesn't feel ready to leave the safety of the castle, and to go out into the world at large: he wants to stay. The Room of Requirement - with great reluctance - grants his wish.

Lucius Malfoy, Head Boy, is entering his final year, but with the war awaiting him after his NEWTs, he wants for a hobby to distract him. Taking a snotty, unwashed, foul-mouthed First Year under his wing is perhaps unorthodox, but... Well. Isn't it only the responsibility of a young scion to commit himself to the education of his inferiors? Gen. Lucius & Severus POV.

There's something OFF about Remus, and his three new friends are determined to find out exactly what it is.

A new trend takes the city of Ankh-Morpork by storm, and leads to some strange revelations.

On an Octeday afternoon, Drumknott makes a regrettable error. Also posted on the OnTheDisc Dreamwidth comm.

The pride of a Slytherin is in his resource and cunning, and in the serpent's discerning gaze. Slytherin!Harry, assorted ships. Heavy violence. No Lord Potter, no creature inheritance, no bashing - AU plots (no Riddle diary, no Department of Mysteries, no manipulative!Dumbledore, no Horcruxes). Character-focused and plot-heavy. Cross-posted to Ao3. POV between HP and SS.

Odin gives Loki a choice when he is brought back to Asgard: imprisonment, or execution. When Loki chooses the latter, Odin increases his punishment twofold, and Loki is sent back to Midgard in order to repay his debt. Bound by his own magic and forced to obey whatever order Steve Rogers lays out for him, Loki is forced to attempt a redemption he neither wants nor deserves.

Loki's attempt to murder Laufey has failed; Odin has awoken from the Allsleep; Thor despises his brother not-in-blood. Loki, with all this facing him, decides it is time to leave Asgard once and for all. Returning to Midgard, a realm he knew as he was yet a young man, he works to build something entirely new for himself. This is a pretty huge AU, with varied influences.

A Vulcan captain and her husband, a long-exiled Cardassian, touch on Deep Space Nine after their vessel is nearly destroyed by an explosion - a suspected piece of tampering by the Maquis. Julian becomes embroiled in the ensuing intrigue - alongside him, so does Garak. Julian can't decide which interests him more. Set late in S3, after the events of The Wire.

At the end of Harry's sixth year, Voldemort has been defeated. Tired from the battle and delighted by his new-found freedom, Harry visits the home of Lucius Malfoy, a prominent assistance during what could have been a war. He never realized the man had a son. That son, strangely enough... is a Squib. AU. Drarry.

Loki meets the Doctor, once. It takes them time to part ways. Implied sexual content.

It is Narcissa's sixth year at Hogwarts, and she has just been betrothed to her future husband, Lucius Malfoy, by his father and her own parents. While they cannot meet face to face, they write each other letters to know one another better. Epistolary. Lucissa.

Post-DH. Gen. Ficlet. Cigarette heavy. Written for a prompt on Potions & Snitches: "There was haunting music coming from the Quidditch pitch." Severus is watching the Halloween proceedings when he is interrupted by Harry Potter himself.

Written for a prompt on the new kink meme, at hpkinkmeme on Dreamwidth. Lucius, on a visit to some of the older Slytherins still at Hogwarts, comes across Sirius Black in the corridors, and allows himself an indiscretion. Rated M. Note that this is a non-explicit version of the complete work, which at 6k is on Ao3 in its entirety.

Set during Doctor Bashir, I Presume. Garak and Bashir make plans that do not come to fruition. When the young doctor comes to his quarters saying he wishes to resign from Starfleet, Garak suggests an alternative turn of action. Spoilers, kids.

A short interlude from Lucius Malfoy's perspective set during Betting On Blood of The Serpent's Gaze, set after Chapter 34, Prophecies and Paragons. Lucius can hardly be as calm as he'd like to be when Lindon Sartorius insists on inflicting his presence upon him.

A plotless interlude between third and fourth year of TSG. Lindon and Celia wake up together and settle into a bath.

There's something Oscar Wilde-y about unrequited feelings, yes, but God knows they're a bit of a bugger. Douglas just wishes Martin would stop being quite so attractive - he's got business to be getting on with, after all. And Martin, for his part, wishes much the same without realizing how mutual it is. Like I said: a bit of a bugger. D/M. Slow burn.

Draco Malfoy's son has an unexpected encounter in the Ministry of Magic, and Draco is suitably surprised.

Abraxas always intended for his son to became a viper: Lucius became that, and more. LM/SS, LM/NBM.

Lucius visits Severus' grave once the funerals, post-battle, are through.
