He would drown in a nightmare. Regis had told him of it before, hands shaking in Dettlaff's grasp. How blind he had been, how agonizingly slow the time had passed. How he would not wish it on his own worst enemy. "I am your enemy now, Regis. I forced you to choose. It is my fault." His half-rotted lips twitched in feeble effort. "I am sorry." Rated T for gory Vampire friendships.

Argus had saved her life, Cletus had given her hope, and Rufus had brought her joy and love. The girl with a hard drive soul had somehow crossed paths with the three lost clones in every stage of her life. That meant something. It had to. (Or how three clones learned to get over their issues and save the world...rated K for casual violence and making light of the apocalypse)

Once, Cora knew a man. A man of magic. A man who gave her a book of spells and took her baby's tears and met her, blast for blast, power for power, in a magical battle that nearly destroyed them both. This is the story of how Cora Mills seduced the Dark One for the second time, the time she ripped his heart from his chest. Rate T for non-graphic magical violence and implied sex.

Jafar knows this game. He's played it for years now. He always has the last word and he always walks away feeling like he's been defeated, like he's lost. Lost what? Only something he's never had. He smiles, his eyes wide and frozen with helpless, seething anger. "No apology needed, father." Jafar and his father have their daily chat, along with all the pain and rage it entails.

Iolaus the Jester came from another world where he knew another Hercules, another lifetime ago. And not only is he having trouble letting go of his past, he's having trouble letting go of the tyrant who nearly destroyed him. During his brief stay at the Academy, Iolaus has to deal with his memories of the close, twisted relationship he once had with the Sovereign. Rated to be safe.

Everyone has an element, a star, a patronus, even a flower they can relate to. Everyone, even the Potions Master, Severus Snape of Hogwarts.
