Summary
Hecate Hardbroom is a spinster maiden aunt who has been left in charge of her rakish brother’s brood of illegitimate children upon his death. What she lacks in maternal instinct, she more than makes up for in her dogged desire to see that each and every girl in her charge receives a top education - so much so that she takes their studies into her own hands to see that it’s done properly. But soon, growing troubles with the estate pull her from the schoolroom and she finds herself fighting to protect the girls from utter destitution. Overwhelmed, she finds it necessary to engage a governess.
Requirements? Formidable. Bluenosed. Disinclined to wear pink.
Pippa Pentangle is none of those things. But she’s here to stay, and Hecate finds there’s little she can do about it.

Summary
Pippa Pentangle has been quietly haunted by Hecate Hardbroom since she was seventeen. Thirty years have passed without a word between them. When Pippa attends a gathering at Cackles, the evening begins with promise—familiar faces, old magic, and the fragile hope of reconnection.
But by morning, something is wrong.
There’s no body. No crime scene. No clear event to point to.
And yet, something happened.
Pippa is the only one who doesn’t remember it.
Everyone else seems to be walking on eggshells—careful with their words, cautious with their glances, as if trying not to trigger something. As if they know what she’s forgotten.
She wakes in a haze, hollowed out and disoriented, with the sense that something vital has been taken from her. As she searches for answers—through old spell books, forgotten objects, and fragments of memory—she begins to suspect that someone has tampered with her mind. Not erased everything. Just enough to leave her questioning what was real, and what was rewritten.
The clues are subtle. The magic is old. And the truth may be buried in a memory she no longer owns. -

Hecate and Pippa's student years at Cackles- I promise I'll think of a better title in time :') by YourLocalTeaAddict

Summary
Basically my hyperfixated brain needing to write about Hecate Hardbroom and Pippa Pentangle and their past together as students at Cackles.
All the shenanigans they get up to, and how they friendship (and maybe more) unfolds over their first year at Cackles Academy.Important sidenote: I'm not including Indigo Moon for now. Maybe she'll appear later on but I never really like that whole backstory thingy with HB so I might leave it out. Besides, if i were to include that, it would end the story as Hecate cut herself off from all her friends after the whole Indigo Moon tragedy.

Summary
A Hicsqueak fix-it fic inspired by what I wished happened in "Happiest Season." A story about going home and revisiting the past anew.
"Muddling through, that was Hecate in a nutshell. To be fair, on paper, Hecate was thriving. She had her own apartment. She was a journalist for a reputable publication. She had money in the bank. She had found her people, at long last. And all that meant that she was finally able to live her life on her own terms. Hecate was living every dream of her closeted teenage self. And if she still felt a bit of a fraud, especially when she visited home for the holidays, falling back into old childhood patterns long left behind, then it was a small cross to bear for the freedom to be herself the rest of the year."

Summary
Couldn’t find a fanfic to my taste so I was like let’s make it my taste 🤓.
Mildred is disoriented when she wakes up from her sleep and realises she is indeed in an hospital her mum and she undergoes a crash. Incoming Pippa Pentangle who reads about the crash in a newspaper who she obviously tells it to Miss Hardbroom. who eventually decides she would house Mildred but only for the summer never ever get attached to the wretched girl. A lot of angst is in if you want to see how their relationship turns out follow along. And obviously pippa will be a sweetheart swooping in just when it is the right time.Honestly wanted to make a fic with Hecate as stepmother to Mildred but maybe next time if the idea appeals to you tell me in the comments.

Summary
Pippa had been watching the two like a hawk for the last twenty minutes. Step. They got closer to the doorway. Step. Step. Pippa frowned deeply. In any other case, this would be fine; the two unfortunate victims would simply laugh and move out of the way of the plant, but not this plant.
or
Hecate and a beautiful witch are about to step under enchanted mistletoe. Pippa, however, won't let that happen.

"Ethel kept watching, unsure what was her purpose now that she didn’t have to protect Sybil anymore. And she didn’t have to, because Sybil was brighter than she ever was. Always joyful, quickly bonding with the women that cared for her. Soon, hugs and gentles touch of affection were becoming a daily occurence, Sybil running straight into Pippa’s arms once back in the house after an afternoon in the garden, or sitting close to Hecate and leaning against her as she read in the evening. She wasn’t used to this."
