Summary
As the surviving members of the Company settle into their new lives in Erebor, they all find different ways to process their grief over the loss of Thorin and his nephews – some more effectively than others. But as Dwalin sinks further into guilt- and grief-stricken isolation, a white lie by Ori to get a pushy fortune hunter off his back spirals into a set of unexpected consequences.

Summary
LONG fic charting the marauders' time at Hogwarts (and beyond) from Remus' PoV - diversion from canon in that Remus's father died and he was raised in a children's home, and is a bit rough around the edges. Otherwise canon-compliant.
1971 - 1995This IS a wolfstar fic, but incredibly slow burn. Literally years. Long build up but worth it I promise!
PLEASE DO NOT COPY TO WATTPAD. SERIOUSLY, WHY??

DISCLAIMER: I do not support JK Rowling's disgusting transphobic views.

Summary
It starts as a profile of paranormal investigator and professional skeptic Dr. Hermann Gottlieb. But it seems the further journalist Newt Geiszler delves into his cases, the more mysterious Dr. Gottlieb becomes. What is he hiding? What is he looking for? What is the truth? What is the difference between a journalist's idea of truth, and a scientist's?
Seeing is not believing. Believing is believing.

Summary
Diane gets sidetracked by her Twitter feed, then her Tumblr, and then she gets so desperate she logs onto Facebook for the first time in years, but eventually she's all out of social media and she finds a decent hospital to check herself into. She smokes a cigarette, logs the coordinates into her GPS, and starts driving. Traffic is a bitch, as always, but Diane expected that. She didn't expect a call from Tommy.

Summary
Sooner or later he’s going to have to either knock or leave. Sooner. Not later. In this neighbourhood, it’s only a matter of time before someone notices him standing on the doorstep in the wee hours looking disreputable. He doesn’t want to have to explain to uniform what he’s doing on Inspector Lewis’ front step in the middle of the night, and he certainly doesn’t want to have to explain the bottle of whisky.
