    Summary

    On November 12th, 1930, a drunk mistakes the accelerator for the brake and hits a woman—a local torch singer, formerly employed at the Azalea, currently residing in Algiers—crossing the street. She's dead an hour later.

    Or: Lestat and Louis make attempts at drinking, fighting, fucking, talking, and doing it kinder. And then there's Claudia.

    Summary

    James doesn’t understand what’s happening.

    After the incident by the Black Lake, his red-haired angel had finally managed to break free from that sullen, greasy snake. He ought to have been relieved—yet he can’t stop paying attention to one thing:

    That Slytherin… has changed.

    The boy who always hunched over, who kept himself tucked into shadows as if he didn’t quite belong—now walks with a straight back, his former unease replaced by a sharp, steady focus. He ignores every gaze on him, striding down the corridors with quick, decisive steps, the hem of his robes sweeping behind him in dark, wave-like ripples.

    Once, James even caught Snape standing by a window, watching a group of younger students roughhousing in the hall with a cold, assessing stare—as if he might deduct points any second, as if he had the authority to do that.

    James can’t make sense of it.

    Summary

    Severus Snape is not an optimist even on his best days. Today is not a good day.

    Or also; Instead of dying peacefully and being tossed into a shoddy grave where future students come to vandalize, Severus finds himself flung through time to the beginning of his sixth year, and must deal with the consequences.

    If it must be done, it must be done properly. Regretfully, he seems to be the best candidate.

    Summary

    he takes the pills during the MVA.
    doesn't throw them up. doesn't tell anyone.
    just swallows it down like it's nothing - like he hasn't done this before.

    (he has. he knows exactly how this ends. but that doesn't stop him.)

    starts at 7x05 with a major canon divergence from 7x09.
    slow collapse. quiet relapse.
    painkillers, guilt, and the kind of unraveling you can hide under your scrubs.
