Summary
It’s so clear, you see, that if we’re to begin living in the present, we must first redeem our past and then be done with it forever. And the only way we can redeem our past is by suffering and by giving ourselves over to extraordinary labor, to steadfast and endless labor.
Anton Chekhov, The Cherry Orchard
Set long after the Battle of Hogwarts.
Draco Malfoy is abruptly and unwillingly called home after spending the last twenty years living and studying abroad. It seems that there are things at Malfoy Manor which need to be put to rest, and the Ministry of Magic has determined that as the sole remaining Malfoy by blood, Draco is the only one who can do it.
But curse breaking is not Draco’s area of expertise, and so the Ministry has found someone willing to help.
Completed!
I don’t own any characters you recognize, I just like to push their faces together and make kissy noises. Not making any money from this, etc., etc.

Summary
The days of the great wand-wielding wizards are long gone, but under the protection of Rome's growing empire, magic hasn't entirely faded away. All humans have it, but only one type. Agriculture, crafts and politics belong to the wixes, who are in the majority. Offensive and defensive magic is the domain of the sorcerers, who protect the villages from the monsters that roam the earth. Medicine, religion and art fall to the witches. No caste could survive without the others.
Harry, a recently widowed sorcerer, leaves his hometown with his children and his wixen friends in the hope of finding a witch available for mating further north.

Summary
“You really think that?” Zeke asks him, quietly. “Despite all the evidence of your own eyes. Despite Kenny’s testimony, despite the obvious parallels between your Captain and Mikasa’s faithfulness to their hosts, you choose to ignore it.”
“No one is born for anything, Zeke,” the Commander spits. “I’ve told you, time and time again. Levi was not born a slave anymore than you were born to be King, just because of your blood.”

Canon-divergent AU. Kenny survives and is convinced by Erwin to support the Survey Corps in Shiganshina. Everyone lives, including Zeke, who’s dragged back to the Walls kicking and screaming. Experiments and politics ensue.

Bookmarker's Notes
Loved that three way conversation with Erwin dosing off - you’re amazing at dialogue!
