[inathunderstorm.livejournal.com]

Title: There is a war
Author: sionnain
Rating: PG
Fandom: X-Men, Movieverse. Follows the events of X3; contains spoilers.
Characters: Ororo (Storm) and Emma Frost.
Prompt: #78 The sad truth is that most evil is done by people who never make up their minds to be either good or evil.--Hannah Arendt.
Summary: Thanks to recent events, Storm finds herself in charge of the desperately under-staffed Xavier Institute for Gifted Youngsters. It puts her in the uncomfortable position of having lunch with Emma Frost, a woman who never quite managed to choose a side.

AN: Many thanks to artaxastra for the beta! Written for the femgenficathon. I owe ion_bond thanks for helping me flesh out this idea. The title is a Leonard Cohen song, and the quote beneath the cut is from the same.

("Storm sits at the table alone, having arrived early to gather her thoughts, knowing that Emma would be late.")

Title: Out of Chaos
Fandom: Harry Potter
Author: emei
Rating: R
Warnings: Mentions of violence and character deaths. Some swearing and drinking.
Prompt: 95. But the beginnings of things, of the world especially, are necessarily vague, tangled, chaotic, and exceedingly disturbing. How few of us ever emerge from such a beginning! How many souls perish in its tumult! --Kate Chopin.
Summary: “That’s what I remember, the white of the snow and how it darkened and melted red.” The wizarding world claims to remember what happened during the war, but Ginny’s memories are different. 
My thanks go to foreword for the speedy beta!

Author: A Wigeon
Rating: PG
Warnings: Those who are afraid of small bells should steer clear.
Prompt: #38: If neurotic is wanting two mutually exclusive things at one and the same time, then I'm neurotic as hell. I'll be flying back and forth between one mutually exclusive thing and another for the rest of my days.--Sylvia Plath.
Summary: Sabriel is currently the Abhorsen - slayer of the undead and foe to all nercomancers. However, her new title and responsibilities as queen make things a little complicated. How does she work it out? Read on to find out... This story is based on the Sabriel novels by Garth Nix. Read them. Over and over and over. (Author's Note: This story doesn't comfortable fit the prompt, but it provides a bit of a prologue if you will to a possible situation the prompt describes)
