Summary
Padfoot was stretched out lazily on the tiles behind him. He was also laughing at him. Little puffs of breath as his tail thumped on the floor. Traitor.
Remus suddenly realised he’d forgotten what Sirius’ laugh had sounded like. He steeled himself. He had these little realisations, every half a century or so. Another thing blurred into the endless memories.A (slightly angstier) companion piece to The Odd Flatmate (and his dog)

Summary
Lily was going to die. But she would not die quietly. The war would claim her, take her body and drain the life from it, but Lily would fight it every single step of the way. She would scream so loudly that the world had no choice but to remember her.
It's Lily Evans' seventh and final year at Hogwarts. Beyond the walls of Hogwarts, the war awaits.

In which Remus Lupin has A Shit Week by DoTheStarsGazeBack
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling

Summary
Remus Lupin was, in general, a very nice, patient, polite person. He did not lose his temper and he was certainly not violent. However Remus was having a shit week. In fact, it was probably the shittiest week he had ever had.
Remus Lupin is going to win this war, his way, and then he is going to retreat into a forest and never have to deal with human civilisation ever again. Or at least that's the plan.

Summary
Lily could feel the hooks of war under her flesh. It pulled at her, threatening to rip her apart. They were teetering on the edge of something. Lily could feel the golden years of Hogwarts slipping through her grasp. Shattering into tiny, bright shards in her tightly clenched fist.
Lily boards the Hogwarts Express for the last time. The shadow of war looms large above her.

Summary
“There is very little I can do Sirius. My hands are tied,” Dumbledore said.
It was the same conversation they had been having for nearly two years. It was a monthly thing now. Sirius would waltz into his office and Dumbledore would say bullshit like that and Sirius would yell and then he would leave and sit on his sofa in the empty flat full of ghosts and forget how it felt to be alive.It is December 1983. The war is over and yet Sirius is still fighting - for full custody of Harry and for a trial for Remus.

Summary
“Your sole job as Director of SHIELD is to keep track of global threats and you’ve narrowed down the whereabouts of the mad god with mind-control Jedi tricks to the planet Earth,” Tony summarizes flatly. “What’s the plan? We wait till he blows up another super secret facility whose mysteriously undocumented existence doesn’t make me suspicious at all?”
“Germany!” Rogers blurts out, interrupting Tony’s epic stare-down with Fury.In which the surviving Post-Endgame Avengers find themselves back in 2012, trying to stop Loki from invading the Earth. Without tipping their not-in-the-know team members off. Things go— sideways.

Summary
There’s a battle strategy devised by humans many millennia ago that's designed to overcome an adversary who is particularly well entrenched. Some walls are too tall and thick for a frontal assault, and must instead be bested through sheer dogged stubbornness.
Crowley and Aziraphale didn’t know it, but they were about to be put under siege.
Fed up with an angel and a demon who are still avoiding any talk of Feelings, God starts to interfere. When it comes to the ineffable plan, sometimes things need a bit of a push.

Summary
"Hey, fuckface!" Steve called out after him. "What name do I put on the order?"
The man stopped short, turning and looking at Steve from under a cocked brow. "Do you talk to all of your customers this way?"
"Yes," Steve nodded. It was the truth.
The man grinned, his straight white teeth flashing and the creases framing his eyes deepening with the motion as he continued to gaze unflinchingly at Steve.
"You can call me Bucky."
...
Smol sassy gift-wrapping mall elf Steve has a low tolerance for bullshit, and Bucky Barnes is providing it in spades with a collection of impossible-to-wrap gifts. Unfortunately for Steve, Bucky is the nicest asshole he's ever met.
