[Sequel to 'In the Black']

Regulus survives the cave and goes to his older brother for help. He strikes a deal with Dumbledore: the Horcrux in exchange for his family's protection. Sirius, meanwhile, is faced with his toughest mission yet: managing his estranged parents, who find they like having both their sons back and are prepared to use all their cunning to make this temporary family reunion permanent.

A dying Orion Black stumbles upon his rebellious older son in St. Mungo's, nursing injuries sustained in his work for the Order of the Phoenix. Sirius is the last person he thought would have to tell his father his two sons are fighting on opposite sides of a war.

A down-on-his-luck Hondo Ohnaka manages to capture the unicorn of all bounties-Luke Skywalker, which sends Darth Vader, Lord of the Sith, on a painfully familiar trip to the planet Florrum to collect his prize. The failed negotiations leave Vader in the awkward position of being stuck in a besieged bunker with his son and a pirate who tells too many 'amusing' Clone Wars stories.

In the back of his mind, The Dark One can't shake off the feeling that Henry sees more than he should, but with the boy taking such a keen interest in his past and forging a bond with his grandfather in particular...well, it's hard for him to say 'no', isn't it?

Coda to "Nasty Habits," Angsty!Gold and Manipulative!WayTooPersonal!Pan, mentions of Belle and Baelfire.

One of the first things that Baelfire learned from Peter Pan was that you never tried to join his games after they began. Pan comes to see a captured Neal, and hear out his attempts to talk his way into tagging "in." Written largely before 3X04 aired, a now AU take on Pan and Neal's first meeting in the Neverland of present day.

[Four: Snow] She never thought there was something it would be easier to talk about with Gold than David.

Lizzie Bennet Diaries-verse. Just as Darcy was the source of the unexpected rift between the middle and youngest Bennet sisters, Darcy unexpectedly begins to heal the rift: in his always unconventional style...by paying for her lawyer. Speculative fic for how Lydia's fall might happen, will undoubtedly be canon-balled. Lydia, Darcy, Lizzie/Darcy.

Lizzie Bennet Diaries Universe. Lizzie and Charlotte talked about Bing, Darcy and Caroline many, many times while Lizzie was staying with her at Collins and Collins. Lizzie and Jane only talked about it twice. My version of the "one has got all the goodness, and the other all the appearance of it" conversation from chapter 40 of P&P. Darcy/Lizzie mentions (of course!)

Lizzie Bennet Diaries-verse. Sometimes even the most talkative, eloquent people can be at a loss for words. Lizzie has tea with William Darcy and his little sister while on her thesis company shadow and learns a little about the Darcy family...and how little she really knows about one Darcy in particular.

Lizzie Bennet Diaries-verse. For the first time in his life, he had listened to his heart instead of his head. What William Darcy did immediately following the events of episode 60 and what he was thinking while he did it. Darcy angst and introspection to tide you over until episode 61.

Mary and Matthew Crawley do not see eye-to-eye on a matter of some family delicacy. Arguments about class and motivation follow a rather embarrassing scene made at the dinner table. It's not character bashing, it's ambivalence!

If Isobel Crawley were certain of one thing, it was that they could no longer be left to their own devices. Knowing her, she won't keep her mouth shut about it for long, either. CHAPTER 7: Matthew and Mary tell eachother. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

On Christmas Eve 1919, Matthew and Mary discuss the existence of God, the possibility of redemption and the disagreeableness of damp figgy pudding. A possible response to the end of series 2.

Summer, 1863. Melanie reads 'Jane Eyre' aloud. Rhett has an unhealthy appreciation for literary parallels. Scarlett is clueless.

After reconciling, Scarlett asks Rhett why he left her at Rough and Ready, among other things. He tries to explain, as much as he understands himself. My first attempt at GWTW fanfiction.
