    Summary

    A crossover between Worm and Practical Guide to Evil. It starts with Taylor ending up in Calernia, the world of aPGtE. Where it goes from there, we will have to see. The fic occurs after the Echidna incident in Worm and after Book 2 in aPGtE. I'm aware that the beginning is rather rough and while there's no current plan to revise it, try to bear with it as it's (unfortunately) largely irrelevant for most of the story.

    Summary

    I had been eager to return to Hogwarts, and excited to engage with an actual Villain, though there were three unpleasant surprises that I really should have expected:

    1. There were people even less competent in teaching defensive (or offensive) magic than Quirrel

    2. The Hogwarts population was immune to logic when faced with any sort of crisis

    3. It was socially unacceptable to say "I told you so" when the people you told so were crying

    Still, each of my experimental rituals were immensely successful. (Give or take some side effects.)

    Summary

    Love was never enough. It always fucked you over in the end... but what if just once it didn't? There had never been an enemies to lovers story as good as this. If they had the chance to do it all over again... Gods would hate it, but it'd be amazing. Like being her except with the drunkenness and depression split between two people. It was a terrible idea, but at worse she could just wait a few more years, so why not?

    Alternatively: The Intercessor hijacks the Riddle-Maker's spell and sends Catherine and Akua back to where it all started between them.

    Summary

    The end had always been pre-destined. After all, Catherine had designed it to be that way.

    Summary

    Masego laments the few things in life that maybe, possibly, weren't the best ideas he'd ever had.

    (Inspired by that part of Practical Guide where Indrani tells Cat about Masego; however, aside from riffing off of that line this work is pretty spoiler-free and doing its own thing.)

    Summary

    The question is an incessant tune in the back of Hye's mind, (why is she the last when the others had so much to live for? people who loved them and people who needed them) and yet she stands alone today.

    Only ghosts are left to answer, the memories of Wekesa’s smile and Sabah’s gentle hands and Amadeus’ green gaze meeting her own.

    Akua Sahelian, Diabolist of the Dread Empire of Praes, made plans for her death. But she was a villain, and a villain's plan is always thwarted.

    She is reborn a child, then receives both owl letter and professor’s visit upon her eleventh year.

    She is I, and I thought magic missing from this world. But now I am to attend Hogwarts. Alongside a famed hero, of all things. Still, the Boy Who Lived is not prepared for me, and the Dark Lord a paltry inferior to the power I once wielded and demonic armies I summoned.

    This is a new world, and I have a new life. Time to begin a new conquering.

    Summary

    A few years ago now, my dnd group played our first campaign, set in the PGTE universe pre-series. (You can read the partial write up of it in the prequel to this work. If enough people bother me about it I might write up a summary of the ending). Now, we're playing a sequel campaign of sorts, set post-series at Cardinal. Some minor liberties have been taken with canon, as well as the previous campaign being canon to this one.
    (We are playing the 2024 edition of DnD 5e.)

    This is my recap/notes/write up of our sessions, by popular request. May include more as I have motivation and time

    Summary

    The Empire stands triumphant.

    For fifteen years the Emperor has ruled over the systems that were once the Galactic Republic. The nobles of the neutral planets, denied the power they crave, weave their plots behind pleasant smiles. In the north the Huts and pirates eye the ever-expanding borders of the Empire and ponder war. Yet none of this matters, for in the heart of the ruled worlds the most dangerous man alive sat across an orphan girl and offered her a lightsaber.

    Her name is Leia Organa, and she has a plan.
