Summary
When Will finds himself exhausted by an uninspired series of murders and the killer he's forced to empathize with, Hannibal presents an idea neither of them can resist: if Will can become anyone, why not be someone he enjoys? Each day for seven days of appointments, Will tries on a new personality.
They both get more than they bargained for.

Summary
A short-lived series of private lessons took place after Christmas in Harry Potter's fifth school year, during which Severus Snape attempted to teach Harry the skill of Occlumency. The lessons were ultimately cancelled when Harry was caught prying into Snape's memories, discovering the strangest things: A mysterious prophecy connected Harry's fate with Voldemort's, Harry's dad was an insufferable bully, and Severus Snape had been in love with Harry's mum. Naturally, Harry now has a million questions. Snape would prefer to answer none.
The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes. The same question arises in every soul: "For what, for whom, must I kill and be killed?"
...Or, a classic approach to stubbornness.

Summary
Pacify:
1. To allay the anger or agitation of
2. To reduce to a submissive stateHe would do his duty. He would save Draco, if he could. He would protect the students, if and when the school fell to the Deatheaters. And Potter. As far as he was concerned, Potter could have whatever he wanted, now. What was the point of trying to tell him no if he was going to be sacrificed on the pyre of the greater good? If Potter wanted to learn, Severus would be his teacher. If he wanted a master, then Severus would make him submit. And if he wanted a lover... well. Severus would love him. And that was it. Anything else was a waste of time. And there was so little of that.
***
A complete reimagining of books six and seven (plus), running parallel to canon. And then a SHARP DIVERSION FROM CANON.
***
From a reader: "Basically, Pacify is like, you know how in canon both Harry and Severus are pushed and pushed and pushed by external forces/emotional manipulation until they are backed into a corner? Pacify is...what if they were backed into the same corner?"

Summary
Despite his angelic name, Detective Castiel Novak doesn’t believe in God. How could he, after everything that he’s seen in his career? Every criminal that the justice system fails and every person he can’t save chips away at him little by little, until there’s virtually nothing left.
When the perps that he couldn’t put away start showing up dead, he is left questioning his job, his relationships (or lack thereof), and God. The only thing that helps is him, the flirtatious journalist, Dean Winchester, who shows Castiel that, despite all of the evil in the world, love will always be the solution.
They meet for the first time on a case, the planets aligning in a perfect moment that, unknown to them, is the start of something that will alter their lives forever.
