Summary
"Thom and Alan of Trebond,” Coram told the guard who motioned for them to halt. “They’re here to begin their service at Court.”
The guard glanced over the three travelers. Alanna could hear her heart beating in her ears, so strong it must be visible through her clothes. This was the first test. Would the people at the palace see through her? Or would they, like the innkeepers on the road, see short hair and a boy’s name and not think further?
The guard stepped back. “Welcome to the palace,” he said, and let them in.
Directed by the Gods, Maude sends both Thom and Alanna to page training.

Summary
Back in her home, without the twins to mind and chase after, Maude found herself at loose ends. She’d spent months looking forward to the days when Thom and Alanna would be someone else’s headache, but now that she finally had peace she found it inexplicably empty. She missed Thom’s constant questions and Alanna’s easy affection, missed their inescapable presence at her hearth. For nearly ten years, ever since the twins were old enough to walk on their own, Maude had narrated her activities to them, teaching and explaining and hoping to lead by example. Now, she prepared a salve for burns and asked aloud why she had chosen the ingredients she had, only to remember that the boy who would have answered her was at the City of the Gods. She brought in wood for the fire and frowned when the pile was smaller than usual, before remembering that the girl who always helped her was at the palace, making her own destiny.

Summary
“This is Maura of Dunlath,” Sir Alanna says. “She wanted to talk to you.”
Delia can’t quite keep her surprise from her face. “Is that so?” she asks.
“My sister Yolane was executed for high treason three weeks ago yesterday,” Maura says, and Delia blinks. “I wanted to ask you some questions.”

Summary
For eighteen months, Larry West has taught school peacefully in the sleepy little town of Lindsay. A chance turn on a morning walk takes him to a place he's never seen: a hidden orchard tucked away in the woods behind town. There he meets Kilmeny Gordon, an enigmatic young woman hidden from the world and eager for company, and the two strike up a friendship. But all is not as it seems in the orchard, and soon visions of apple trees begin haunting Larry's every waking moment. Unnerving stories pile up: a promise made and broken with devastating consequences, a girl whose face is fair only within the orchard's boundaries. What magic is afoot, in this most unlikely of places? More urgently, what does it want with Larry?

Harveste Addams by Kyaru (Thumbie), Thumbie
Fandom Addams Family - All Media Types, Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling, The Addams Family (1991)
25 Oct 2015
Summary
Harveste began like this - another inconspicuous day in a slew of boring days, starting off with a perfunctory visit to the market, messing about with what could possibly be a very silly idea, and ending in a sense of accomplishment and the first installment. The day after that, buoyed into hitherto unfamiliar levels of ecstasy by readers’ comments (seriously, thank you so much to my first readers), the second installment. And then it just snowballed from there: the researching, the planning, watching and searching out all the little macabre details in a feverish giddy rush.
My absolute favorite project, hands down, and the one I’ve had the most progress with. I’m quite proud that this is the first contribution I’ll be making to AO3, and I’m certain it won’t be the last. I hope this inspires me to continue and finish what I’ve started, because dear Harveste deserves that.
