Preview Bonanza
Hey, guys, here both as an update and since I just got an ask for a preview of Hq at Hogwarts (which I'm now using as an excuse to give one for all, lol), here's snippets from all my current ongoing projects. Some of them I know have had a lot longer waits than I anticipated so hopefully this is reassuring that the updates ARE acutally coming and (with all hope) comparatively soon. As always, all of the scenes may be changed slightly when I'm editing
(None of these are in any particular order other than fandom)
--------------
1.) Keiji Akaashi and the Department of Mysteries
Ch. 9
Post Date: Oct. 1-3
“I’m not my family.” It was all Suga could say.
“That’s not--,” Hinata stopped, cutting himself off with a sigh.
He closed his eyes, shaking his head once before opening them again.
“Nevermind. You don’t get it.” He turned in the direction Oikawa went. “And I have to go. We’ll talk later.”
Suga watched him go and felt like his feet were rooted to the floor.

2.) Weirdness With Witches
Ch. 3/the final chapter
Post Date: ASAP, this one is almost done, I'm just currently in the middle of traveling for best friend's wedding and trying to find time to finish and post it. Expect it within the next few days depending on when I have free time
Iwaizumi tried the handle. “It’s locked.”
Suga hummed, bending down to study the trail closer. “If we’re continuing monster hunting, one of us should really learn how to pick locks.”
“Oh! I’ll do it!” Bokuto volunteered.
“Yeah, I really don’t think we’ll run into monster hunting a third time…or further contribute to our crime skills.” Iwaizumi looked down at Suga. “What is it?”
“I’m not sure yet,” Suga admitted, inspecting the white powder on his fingers.
“Lick it and find out!” Bokuto shouted.
“Do not lick it.” Iwaizumi glared. “What if it is drugs?”
“I wasn’t going to lick it,” Suga grumbled, sounding very much like someone who had been at least considering licking it.

3.) Call Me Your Home At Night
“I think my brother’s trying to kill me,” Atsumu said, face dead serious over the video call.
Hinata nodded sagely. “Yeah, siblings are like that.”
“Really?” Atsumu perked up. “Yours, too?”
Hinata considered.
“....No, actually Natsu loves me.” Hinata felt a teeny tiny bit of sympathy watching Atsumu groan; but not enough to stop from adding. “She convinced her school to start their very own volleyball team! Isn’t that amazing? Ugh, she’s going to be so great once she starts high school!”
Hinata wasn’t saying that this officially replaced baby Natsu babbling a barely recognizable version of his name as her first word for Top Best Natsu-Related Moment...but, it did. And it should.

4.) After the Fall of Olympus
“Penny for your thoughts?”
“Sorry, I only take credit," Dick mumbles on automatic.
Donna shoves him. “Seriously, Dick, what’s going on in that head of yours?”
He sips at his beer, frowning when he finds it’s gone flat and stale.
“A lot of things,” he answers finally. “The team, I’ve been thinking about the team a lot. And Jason, of course. Alfred, Tim, Barbara. Lian. Mera and Artur. And...and my parents. Wally….Bruce. Like I said, a lot of things. Probably too many.”
And fire and the smell of burnt hair. Of bullet casings laying in the sun. Of a bitter taste in champagne and hands with whispers and--
And a single gunshot.
The stale beer does nothing to wash away the taste. He tries anyway.

5.) Flash Facts of Bart Allen
“Really,” Len drawls skeptically, “and you’re just trusting a bunch of criminals to take care of one of your own?”
“Well,” Nightwing pauses, considering, “someone I respected told me once that the only way any of us could truly take steps forward was to find a way to move together. So, consider it a sign of trust or maybe change, whichever you’d prefer to take it as.”
Len scoffs. “Some hero told you that, didn’t they?”
“How’d you guess?”
“Because it’s naive and hopefully optimistic.”
Nightwing laughs. “Yeah, I guess he was.” He tilts his head. “But, Barry was also a good judge of character. His grandson is too. So, I’ve got some pretty good recommendations to go off.”
Len narrows his eyes.
Of course, it had to be him.
“Besides,” Nightwing continues, “from what I hear Bart’s one of yours, too.”

6.) In Spite of Ourselves
“Easy, huh,” Senkuu said.
“I prefer working smarter, not harder.”
“You prefer not to work at all.”
“That, too,” Gen agreed cheerfully, slinking forward to lean against Senkuu. “But, I’m pretty sure when you say it, it’s slander. I could sue, you know?”
Senkuu smirked, leaning against him, too. “Technically, I’m pretty sure as village chief, I’ve got judicial power, too, so good luck with that.”
“Mmm,” Gen shook his head sadly, “absolute power really does corrupt absolutely. So quick!”

7.) The Past is a Mirror
“You worry too much,” Ye Qiu assures breezily. “I’m sure I can handle some rookie training. Officer Bao, throw me a spear, won’t you?”
Han Wenqing steps forward. “Wait--”
“Sure thing, Boss!” Bao Rongxing calls right before he throws a fully sharpened training spear directly into the man’s hands--sorry, directly into their officially recognized with a high risk of escape and who absolutely should not be armed captive’s hands.
Ye Qiu catches it easily and Han Wenqing sighs, a second away from just throwing his hands up.
Fine. Apparently this is happening. Why the fuck not?
