Title: Make Our Garden Grow
Characters: Percy/Penelope
Rating: PG-13
Warning(s): Dark at times, with bits of nastiness by Death Eaters.
Length: 3,758
Summary: To make a garden grow together is a work of love. To reconstruct a life is even more so.

The title, Make Our Garden Grow, is from Leonard Bernstein's Candide.
Author's Notes: The timing is a bit off – this should be at most late May/early June, but the story starts right after Percy finished school, as he's starting to work for Barty Crouch Sr., which is supposedly July timeframe. So I guess this is slightly AU. And, of course, this ignores the Epilogue and/or Audrey's existence.

Title: The Picture of Alphard Black
Rating: R
Word Count: ~10,000
Warnings: This contains OCs.
Summary: How Alphard really lost his place in the family tree
Notes: This was taken from Alphard's letters at the now defunct RP, communiquills and the stories the letters spawned. I've always wanted to write the story of Alphard Black and the real reason why he was burnt off the family tree. I believe that leaving gold to Sirius was only the last straw.

Written for hp_toujours, here.

Many thanks to my betas past (minnow_53) and present (sabethea/iamisaac) for making this thing work.
