Humble Pieces by TheGrayGoose

Summary
"In the game of thrones, even the humblest pieces can have wills of their own. Sometimes they refuse to make the moves you've planned for them."
Ever wonder what happened after the Lone Wolf massacre at the Twins, or how the other Northern families prepare for the army of the dead? What horrors does Cersei have in store for when the rival queen comes south? What does Dany's Essosi retinue truly think of Westeros? And what on earth has Howland Reed been doing in his swamp? A season 8 fix-it (canon compliant through the end of season 7), strongly focused on minor characters' stories while our "players" move about in the background. Show canon, but you may see some book-only friends popping up.

Summary
"Once, at the church bazaar, he had been enticed to test his strength at one of the carnival games. He pounded the pivot board with a mallet and sent the indicator rocketing up the side of the game at top speed. It felt rather like his stomach was doing that just now. Ms. Baxter wasn’t smiling and clapping this time, though."
When Ms. Baxter misses a showing of The Jazz Singer, Mr. Molesley offers to make it up to her. But only as friends. Right?Written for Writer's Month 2021, Day 19: "Movie."

Summary
This WIP is a saga in the old Norse sense of the word regarding the social history of a particular place. Or, as we call it in modern terms: a soap opera. It's got romance, fantasy, drama, mystery... Clearly I can't stick to a single genre. Or pairing.
Enjoy this amalgamation of my personal head canons starring the ensemble cast of Pelican Town and a few characters of my own.

Summary
Harry's assignment was simple. Close out Draco Malfoy's missing persons case so he can be declared dead.
But who's making withdrawals from Malfoy's vaults? How is a death omen-turned-Unspeakable involved? Is an organization known as the Moirai to blame?
Harry brushes it off until he can't. Until The Prophet is flooded with sightings of dead people. Until Robards throws himself on his sword. Until Ron turns on his own family. Until Harry scarcely trusts his own reflection in the mirror and trusts the stranger in his bed even less.
Until all that stands between war and peace is Harry, a name plate, a stadium of murderers, and Draco Malfoy.
God save the Ministry.

Summary
LONG fic charting the marauders' time at Hogwarts (and beyond) from Remus' PoV - diversion from canon in that Remus's father died and he was raised in a children's home, and is a bit rough around the edges. Otherwise canon-compliant.
1971 - 1995This IS a wolfstar fic, but incredibly slow burn. Literally years. Long build up but worth it I promise!
PLEASE DO NOT COPY TO WATTPAD. SERIOUSLY, WHY??

DISCLAIMER: I do not support JK Rowling's disgusting transphobic views.
NOTE: I AM NO LONGER READING OR REPLYING TO COMMENTS ON THIS FIC

Summary
"I dance in dangerous fables, walk a woods with trees white as bone. It's always winter and I'm always pressing my face against something warm with blood." - Yasmin Belkhyr, 'Blizzard'.
“Men die,” Barbrey tells her, bone-white with anger, eyes flashing. “Men die, Donella. Should Stark’s boy not sire a son on you, and if the Bastard has the Dreadfort-,”
“You speak as if Robb Stark were in fragile health,” Nell rolls her eyes. “You’re being paranoid.”
“Willam was in excellent health until he rode off to his death at Ned Stark’s side,” Barbrey hisses. “Do you think he did not promise me we would have children and a long life together before he left? Do you think he did not promise to come back to me? You cannot know what the future might bring. My lord husband survived a war only to die in Dorne. Men and their promises are not your safety nor your refuge. Land is. Power is. Never forget that.”
(In which Nell Bolton contends with both her mother's bloodstained legacy and her father's bloodthirsty bastard, and along the way claims a beast for a bridegroom.)
