This hope was dashed quickly when Hermione discovered her beloved books would grant her no special insight or help in this new endeavor. Yes, she sought information, but apparently the Hogwarts library and its wealth of tomes, both ancient and slightly more modern, lacked exactly this type.

Harry wasn't the first to ask that question, but the result had been the same every time. If she said yes, they'd laugh and ask if she really thought they were asking her before ridiculing her for being so foolish. Phrases like 'how did you make it into Ravenclaw' tended to be thrown in by that point. If she said no, they'd still laugh and the phrase would instead be something alon

At least Harry wasn't entirely uncomfortable. While most of his body could feel the hard ground, his head apparently found much better accommodations upon something oddly smooth and soft. Whatever that was, he had no clue.

A simple plan, with equally simple tools, but one they'd availed themselves of more times than could be counted. Hermione wasn't about to deny these meetings were one of the only things keeping her sanity intact. Harry and Luna didn't have to speak for her to know they felt the same.

Kidman remembers the times Sebastian stepped up to the plate for her.

Elizabeth awakens after getting knocked out by Atlas' goons. My take on the possible opening of Burial at Sea Episode 2. Can be taken as either romance or family. It's up to you own interpretation.

Everyone's favorite thief and assassin get into a bit of a predicament. Making them grow closer than either ever though possible. Set after the movie with no knowledge of the comics.

Flynn comes across a sleeping Cassandra. Minor Eve/Flynn.

The fear of facing the world of magic by herself was all but gone, replaced with a warmth deep in her heart. With Jake and Ezekiel at her side, she could do anything, face anything.

A strange visitor arrives and for unknown reasons stays with The Avengers for a time.

Collection of Kili/Tauriel stories based around certain words.

While waiting for nightfall, Legolas and Tauriel have a heart to heart talk about a certain dwarf.

The company of Thorin Oakenshield receives help from an unexpected source. Will have eventual Kili/Tauriel, and will follow almost exactly as the movie did with a few changes.

Thorin comes to the rescue when his nephews go missing.

Death. The entire field reeked of it. It's stench carrying over everything and everyone. Many unfortunate souls still lay upon the battlefield, badly wounded and all crying for aid. Most would never be leaving this place whole if at all.

Thranduil has a final talk with Tauriel.

[SPOILER WARNING] Tauriel would have assumed the last thing Kili wanted to see would have been his brother Fili, Thorin, or even Erebor or even his mother. No, the sight he wanted was her. The words brought a rush of affection that faded as quick as it took Tauriel to remember Kili was not going to be leaving this mountain alive.

Kidman should have seen this coming when Tatiana spoke to her earlier. "You are the only soul here right now" was what the nurse told her on one of her first trips here. The way she said "right now" should have been a red flag at the time.

Peter and Gamora learn what it means to be a couple. Sequel to my other story Stuck on You.

What was once the beginning of madness, may not always be so.
