Summary
A companion piece to A Study in Resonance.
Grimmauld Place was not a haunted house -- but Sirius was haunted by it nevertheless. For six months, he sheltered Harry, Ron, and Hermione from the war. For four months, he battled the locket. For one month, he lived alone, with only the half-remembered ghosts of his past to keep him company. Through it all, the house watched, and it listened, and it waited.
(Or, an exploration of what it might mean to have a haunted house in a world where magic and ghosts are very much real, and one's greatest enemy is one's own mind).
Contains spoilers for A Study in Resonance, specifically the chapters that cover HP books 6 and 7.

Summary
This series started as just a one-shot to help people with AO3's CSS for making work skins. Then I added a piece on making series. Then it... snowballed. I don't expect to add further tutorials, but I hadn't expected to write these either. I'm calling the series complete, but who knows (one thing that keeps nudging me is to take the statistics and show how fics' half-lives vary, for example; another is putting all weird AO3 fixes into one spot).
NB: If you're wondering, please see How to make and fix a series on AO3 (in this series with the tutorial on CSS work skins for fonts, which made that link become underscored blue ink [assuming that your browser settings, site skin, and third party apps didn't prohibit it]).
Cf. the CSS Abuse and HTML Tryhard collection, as a whole.

Summary
“Come into the light,” he said slowly.
“You don’t need it to see me.” The voice was so familiar, so unbearably familiar.
“Nonetheless.”
After a moment there was motion among the trees, and the firelight fell on the figure of a solitary man, his feet bare and his hair unbound, wrapped in plain grey. Finrod didn’t rise to greet him, but lifted his head and looked him up and down: the slender frame, the tension in his bearing, the features whose fineness bordered on delicacy.
“Curufinwë Atarinkë,” he said at last, giving each syllable of the name its full weight. “You look awful.”

Summary
It was not with heavy heart that Paladin Took approached the Bird's Nest. But his ribs might've been weighty and his liver positively annoyed, and not just from the many fine ales and finer wines he'd consumed throughout his life. It was that damn Lotho again, Lotho Sacksville-Baggins from up Hobbiton way with his air and his Big Men—well, two could play at that game! And if anyone was going to be calling themselves "Chief" in this day and age, it would be the right and proper Thain of the Shire!
His blood up, he knocked rather hard on the oversized door. "Maggie! Are you in there? Open up!"
