A/N: My prompt was, The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity.--Ellen Parr.

Many, many thanks to my betas -

Title: And Touch
Author:

jetamors
Rating: G
Warnings: Offscreen character death.
Prompt: I didn't exactly write with the prompt in mind. 118. We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations.--Anais Nin.
Summary: After Harry and Ron die, Hermione must learn to live without them. ~2.5k words
Notes: Only *mumblemumble* days late; this story was incredibly hard to write. I'd really like to thank my beta

lazy_neutrino, and

gehayi for running this ficathon.

Rating: PG
Warnings: None.
Prompt: You don't have to have fought in a war to love peace.--Geraldine Ferraro. Not really explicitly used, but somewhat inspirational.
Summary: Hufflepuffs aren't the only ones who can be loyal. Thanks to

miusheri for the beta, and to

gehayi for running this - and for letting me post as late as I am!

Title: Go My Own Way
Author:

wildesidewalker
Rating: PG
Fandom: Keys to the Kingdom
Warnings: None
Prompt: 87) I'll not listen to reason. Reason always means what someone else has got to say.--Elizabeth Gaskell.
Summary: It’s a pretty dumb Law when you can’t do anything but everyone else can. Sometimes, in order to get anything done, you have to take matters into your own hands.
A/N: A big thank you

gehayi for running the ficathon and to

sholmes87 for the beta. Keys to the Kingdom and all characters are owned by Garth Nix.

Fandom: Alias
Author:

ygrawn
Fandom: Alias
Rating: PG-13
Disclaimer: These characters belong to JJ Abrams
Quote: 115) Risk-taking, trust, and serendipity are key ingredients of joy. Without risk, nothing new ever happens. Without trust, fear creeps in. Without serendipity, there are no surprises. —Rita Golden Gelman.
Summary: Killing people is what she was trained to do, and whilst she would never call it easy, is it her work, and she is good at it. Being a mother is both foreign and difficult to Laura and she doesn’t believe it will ever feel natural.
A/N: Well, yes, ahem, I'm late. Sorry!

Fandom: Harry Potter
Character: Lily Evans Potter

Word Count: ~1700

Prompt: 84) The weak are the most treacherous of us all. They come to the strong and drain them. They are bottomless. They are insatiable. They are always parched and always bitter. They are everyone's concern and like vampires they suck out life's blood.--Bette Davis.

Summary: If Lily Evans thought to split the world cleanly and simply into those who are weak and those who are strong she would count herself among the strong.

Author's Note: Many thanks to

Fandom: Burn Up Excess (anime)
Rating: Light R (the odd naughty word, violence)
A/N: Set post-Excess; crosses over with the main events in W. The minor references to Morocco are taken from canon. Dubbed canon and some Anglicisms (particularly the Western name order used in the dub) are used. Please alert me to any glaring errors I may have made about Japanese names and culture. Concrit and feedback are much appreciated.
Extended A/N plus quick-and-dirty fandom guide (note: may contain spoilers)

Title: Agatha Heterodyne and the Excessively Hirsute Canine
Author: Molly (

fairest1)
Rating: PG-13
Fandom: Girl Genius
Prompt: When, however, one reads of a witch being ducked, of a woman possessed by devils, of a wise woman selling herbs, or even a very remarkable man who had a mother, then I think we are on the track of a lost novelist, a suppressed poet. . . indeed, I would venture to guess that Anon, who wrote so many poems without signing them, was often a woman.--Virginia Woolf
Summary: It is a world ruled by mad science! Poorly. Only one person will stand to defend the innocent villager and abandoned construct alike – AGATHA HETERODYNE, GIRL GENIUS! In this thrilling tale, Agatha must deal with a most perplexing situation. . .
