These are just the stuff currently under my username at Ao3.
"You understand you're not a stopgap, right?" says Lupin.
~2:00 pm: a spurt of nationalistic fervor has gripped our otherwise-stalwart barricade.
"This," said the mayor, "is your fault."
Power is the product of voltage and resistance.
"You should take a break," says Alan, vaguely, not looking down.
"But I can't remember my password!"
-The planet of Earth is subdivided into many various polities, many of which frequently make war on each other.
Léopoldine flutters up and down the stairs, tirelessly running, bouncing, and crouching at the last minute to break her fall.
The barricade is loud.
Every day the girls have an hour to spend as they wish, and Cosette, of course, is always to be found with her father.
"You know that you don't even have to ask for discounts on our products, of course?" George asked.

Water surrounds us all.
When you are born a clone
Regulus has never been alone.
As they sing out their song I can smile along
Memories rushed back at him, riffled through as if the Yeerk was scanning through an old-fashioned computer archive.
Eleven years you let him wander blind,
A hundred thousand wizards and witches, to say nothing of the veela and leprechauns, filled the temporary stadium.
On Christmas Day, Voldemort dropped by Malfoy Manor.
Two weeks left until Christmas, and all through the castle
Thoughts:
I had to include the "he asked" tag in the first one to meet the three-sentence limit in the three-sentence ficathon, and so that forced my hand for the "he asked" later on as well. (I only included the first of the three-sentence fics.)
I like present tense for Les Miz. I think I already knew that.
I really like the range of fandoms here, in general. Hmm, maybe I should sign up for "not prime time" after all?
I also like how I have to use line in the literal sense because there are so many poetic things eventually.
The "the planet of Earth" one is a relatively bleak and not-that-funny beginning given the nature of the rest of the story.
Considered on their own, the third of these just might be my favorite.
