Summary
“I was…” Peter started, his voice funny, then stopped. “You were…”
“Peter,” Johnny snapped, feeling the ends of his hair start to flicker in flames. The sheets were him-proofed, which was good, because he could feel his fingertips begin to smoke.
Peter shook his head like he was trying to snap himself out of it. “I was – I was having an unproductive night of webbing up muggers, thought I’d drop in, see if you were still up, you know, thinking, gee, it’d be great to see some more of my ol’ friend Johnny Storm.” He cleared his throat. “And then I really saw some more of my ol’ friend, Johnny Storm.”

Summary
“Right, Charlie,” Mitchell says. “Your agent sent me through the scripts, but she was a little vague about the target accent. Do you know exactly what it is we’re aiming for? Beyond ‘British’.”
Just aim away from whatever the hell it was I did last time, Charlie thinks, and we’ll be golden.When a perpetually panic-stricken Hollywood ingenu hires an uber-competent dialect coach, he's hoping for a crash course in Received Pronunciation and an urgent bit of brand rehabilitation. Instead, he gets an excruciating workplace crush and a head full of X-rated dreams. But he's an actor, right, so he'll probably be able to play it cool?
Not bloody likely.

Summary
"Double or nothing," said Webster abruptly.
"How exactly do you mean to double 'everything I had?'" said Ash. He meant it to come out level, but there was a quaver in his voice.
"One more trick," Webster said. "Play, and win or lose you will walk away with your fortune." Ash stared at him. Webster made an impatient gesture. "I don't want or need your money. Or your house. Or your coat and shirt, come to that."
It was an offer of princely generosity. Ash's mouth was dry. "And what would you have from me?" he asked.
Something flared in Webster's cool expression for a moment, like a shark flashing a fin in still waters. "A month," he said.

Summary
On the night of the full moon, Peter Pettigrew - servant to Lord Voldemort - set off to rejoin his master, and Sirius Black was forced to flee for his life.
But instead of going into hiding, he decides to continue his work of the past year - hunting down Wormtail and preventing the Dark Lord from rising again ... Only Albania is a *LONG* way away ... and preventing a war and saving the wizarding world just won't be any fun without Remus.
Together they embark on a journey across Europe - trying to find Peter before he reaches Voldemort and helps him regain his powers. But the Ministry of Magic is hot on their heels, and their way is barred by all manner of dark and dangerous creatures, and the going is going to be tough for the most wanted wizard in Britain and his werewolf best friend.
It's the trip of a lifetime ... just ... no one call it an "adventure".
Canon Divergent AU set directly after PoA.
