HIATUS
The Second Wizarding War was fought to ensure the equality of wizards regardless of bloodlines. When that fails to be the case in an unexpected reversal of roles, it appears that The Great Hero Harry Potter must come out of retirement in order to set the people straight. When the oppressors become the oppressed, bitter rivals must become partners to set an example. And who better to set that example than The Chosen One and The Prince of Slytherin?

All Xander wanted was for the Ice Tribe to not declare war on Corrin's army. If that meant throwing the best celebration he could with limited resources, well, he'd do what he must. He just never expected it'd end up so ridiculously entangled with his personal life.

“Sex.” Gladio spoke bluntly, almost painfully so. “With the King.”---

"What if the reason we get so attached to fictional characters is because they were supposed to be our soulmates but were born in another universe"
"Obviously, I need to take a shotgun to the face, because all of my favorite characters are evil."
This is...interesting. It is NOT a redemption fic, it is very much a corruption fic. Please be warned, bad things happen.

Summary
"I'm not a kid!" exclaimed the girl, struggling, and Cloud solidified his stance. "I'm a ninja princess!"
"All right, all right, Your Highness," said Zack, and Prompto was astonished that he gave no sign of losing patience, despite his teasing words. Maybe he liked kids more than Prompto thought. "I'm Zack Fair, and this is Cloud Strife and Prompto… uh."
"Argentum," supplied Prompto.
The girl wrinkled her nose. "What kind of name is that?"
Prompto frowned. "Lucian."
"Not you, Chocobo Hair," said the girl, rolling her eyes. "I already know Lucian names are dumb. I'm talking about the spiky-headed jerk behind me." Unable to gesture to him with her wrists still restrained, she instead stomped on Cloud's foot, with no visible effect whatsoever.
Cloud sighed. Evidently, he did not share Zack's tolerance for the young and insolent. "Well, what's your name?"
The girl jutted out her chin, gazing imperiously around at Zack and Prompto, who was certain that she would look at Cloud in such a way too if she could maneuver around to do it. "Yuffie Kisaragi. And don't you forget it!"

Summary
"There are three estates in Parliament but in the Reporters' Gallery yonder there sits a Fourth Estate more important far than them all. It is not a figure of speech or witty saying, it is a literal fact, very momentous to us in these times." -- Edmund Burke (1729-1797)
The Fourth Estate: a segment of society that wields the soft but momentous power of public opinion despite its lack of formal recognition within the political system.
Or, in the aftermath of Sendak's invasion and fall, Earth tries to find its political equilibrium.
(multimedia fic following the Paladins & the MFE-Ares pilots post-season 7)

Set during the year-long timeskip between the end of Act 1 and the start of Act 2, in the nature of the beast. Follows Cor and Nyx and their ridiculous not-relationship shenanigans as they enter the service of the certified madwoman they call Queen.

Summary
"Proofing, also sometimes called final fermentation, is the specific term for allowing dough to rise after it has been shaped and before it is baked."
Less than a year has passed since the final battle, and the Ministry is already up to its old tricks. Harry would very much like them to stop ignoring due process, tossing people in Azkaban, controlling the press, and menacing the populace with dementors.
He would also like, if at all possible, to bake a passable loaf of bread.
