Summary
“House has definitely sent Wilson a dick pic or several but he sends them by email because they are both old men and the titles are things like ‘URGENT: please identify if lung cancer’ or ‘patient biopsy results - respond ASAP’ so that Wilson’s guilt complex makes him feel obligated to open each one just in case someone’s life is actually on the line” by Tumblr user wintersnails & this fest inspired me out of a [mumbles] year writing funk. Enjoy!

Ginny has been working as a Flying Instructor at Hogwarts for just over a year. At the end of her first year a student’s parents come to complain to her about their kid’s grades. Ginny lost her cool in a big way, and McGonagall told her she could only stay if she went to anger management. It’s been tough, nobody understands Ginny, her therapists have been pigs, and now that she’s on her third she’s been told that she won’t be getting reassigned again. Unfortunately the third one is terrible too, and now Linda wants her to keep a diary.
As Tonks says it: “It’s a shame it’s so cruel, it’d be funnier if it weren’t.” -

Summary
Potter is determined, Granger is resigned, the various Weasleys were either not informed or are missing for some other reason. It turns out that Dedalius Diggle is the Wizarding World’s foremost expert on sex magic, which makes Snape shiver.
“Think of it this way,” Potter says when he notices, his eyes shining, his mouth in a little sideways twist as if they’re sharing an inside joke. “It could have been Malfoy.” -

Summary
"The first night, then, I went to sleep on the sand, a thousand miles from any human habitation. I was more isolated than a shipwrecked sailor on a raft in the middle of the ocean. Thus you can imagine my amazement, at sunrise, when I was awakened by an odd little voice. It said:
"If you please--draw me a sheep!""

Summary
Hermione is about to finish her Unspeakable training, she’s ended things with Ron, and the world feels wide and open. Things that seemed inevitable are no longer true, and the unthinkable has happened more than once.
Title from I Like Giants, by Kimya Dawson.
When I go for a drive I like to pull off to the side
Of the road and run and jump into the ocean in my clothes
I'm smaller than a poppyseed inside a great big bowl
And the ocean is a giant that can swallow me whole -
Love as fearful torment by hippocrates460 for Saint_Dionysus
Fandoms: Sherlock Holmes - Arthur Conan Doyle
04 Jun 2020
Tags
Summary
"It begins – as it often has between Dr Watson and myself – with a visit to the opera." Holmes and Watson see Wagner's Parsifal, which sparks a conversation that leads to a tradition. As they get to know themselves and each other better, Parsifal remains the same pure fool, fulfilling in each version of his story his destination of reuniting the Holy Spear and Holy Grail.
This fic was written for Saint_Dyonisus, for the ACD Holmesfest, and originally posted on Dreamwidth. With endless love and hugs to my excellent betas and cheerleaders <3

Summary
ὢ πόποι ἦ ῥά τις ἐστὶ καὶ εἰν Ἀΐδαο δόμοισι ψυχὴ καὶ εἴδωλον
(and so, oh wonder, there is, even in the house of Hades, some soul and image)- Homer (The Odyssey)
‘Why, yes,’ he said, ‘I know of a cure for everything: salt water.’
‘Salt water?’ I asked him.
‘Yes,’ he said, ‘in one way or the other. Sweat, or tears, or the salt sea.’- Karen Blixen (The Deluge at Norderney)
Nostos, the oft used theme in Ancient Greek literature which includes an epic hero returning home, doesn't involve the sea, or a shipwreck, or even fang-toothed sirens for Greg. Plenty of frustration and heartache, however. And who could help?

Riding seems easy to every warrior while he is indoors
and very courageous to him who traverses the high-roads

Feet first by hippocrates460

Summary
“Yo,” he says, slumped on the nasty couch next to Deadpool, both of them still dicks out and panting. “Do you have a nose?”
“What?” Deadpool chokes. He sits up and tucks himself away immediately. Which is a bummer because Peter had been kinda hoping for a round two.
“Well,” he says, realizing how that was probably rude. “Don’t answer if you don’t want to of course, but I was thinking... do you have like a skeleton nose? Or a normal one?”

If searching AO3 for spideypool + feet is what brought you here, I'll have to disappoint you. Not that sort of fic unfortunately.

Summary
Based on a drawing and prompt from Narf, who ever so gently requested someone adopt this plot bunny.
"Sunday art post - here’s young Mycroft. He’s just had a haircut and is very casually dressed. I think he’s going to see a local band playing at the student union bar....it’s Greg’s band. Maybe he’s the lead vocalist and plays guitar. They haven’t met yet. Buuuuuut tonight’s the night they do..."
(It's a Clash tribute band but Mycroft doesn't know that because he's rubbish at pop culture)
(If we're following laws at the time I think this would count as underage but since those laws were rubbish I refuse to tag for it)

Summary
"One for the money, two for the show, three to make ready and four to go."
If by go you mean disrupt all the carefully laid plans in order to be good and kind to someone in need. That's just how they do it.
A story of how three becomes four, and how love is essential, and some very fictionalized accounts of what it might be like to run a sex shop.
