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.

---“Are you actually telling me that every single person in this Citadel who is a full bonded retainer to the King has had--?”
“Sex.” Gladio spoke bluntly, almost painfully so. “With the King.”---
Prince Noctis turns sixteen and begins his magical training. Unfortunately for him, his royal training involves a magical sex ritual that grants his retainers their powers. [Sex magic AU. A lot less porny than the description makes it seem. More of a coming of age angst fest.]

Summary
"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
"So, Prompto," said Tifa, and Prompto almost pointed to himself to be sure she was talking to him. At least he caught the impulse before he made a complete fool of himself. "You're going with Zack and Cloud on this rescue mission, right?"
"Yeah," said Prompto. "I don't really know what the plan is, yet, but I've known Aerith my whole life. I can't just sit by and let someone else save her, or… track her down, if she managed to save herself already." Aerith was more adept at getting out of trouble than anyone else Prompto knew. Sometimes she was so good at it that she didn't even realize she'd been in trouble.
"That kind of a girl, huh?" asked Tifa, smiling, and Prompto nodded. "I bet we'd get along."
"I bet you would, too." Aerith didn't have many female friends, and Cloud had insisted that she and Tifa were very different, but… Prompto was inclined to think that they weren't different in a way that would set them at odds. At least, not most of the time.

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.
