RIGHT SO I totally left these recs as a comment on someone elses journal by accident I am very tired right now (I’m still awake bc we ordered cookies from insomnia cookies an almost two hours ago and they still haven't come! This is not how late night hotel room cookie cravings are supposed to go)

Summary:

As soon as Aubrey Thyme, psychotherapist, had opened her office door and seen her new client, Anthony J. Crowley, sitting in her waiting area, she was observing and assessing him. At first glance, she paid attention to the following:

--His clothing was expensive and stylish;
--He wore very strange but noticeable cologne;
--His relationship to the seat he occupied could only, very loosely, be described as “sitting;”
--He looked angry;
--He was wearing sunglasses.

What Aubrey Thyme, a professional, thought, upon first seeing her new client was: you’re going to be a fun one, aren’t you?

Democracy (35026 words) by Starfox5
Chapters: 5/5
Fandom: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Daphne Greengrass/Neville Longbottom
Characters: Neville Longbottom, Daphne Greengrass, Hermione Granger, Harry Potter, Ron Weasley
Additional Tags: Politics, Alternate Universe, Post-Hogwarts
Summary:

Alternate Universe. Neville Longbottom had good cause to be happy. Voldemort and his Death Eaters had been defeated. His parents had been avenged. He had taken his N.E.W.T.s and was now taking his seat in the Wizengamot. Unfortunately, some of his friends weren’t content with restoring the status quo ante and demanded rather extensive reforms.

--> I'm not sure I like how Neville is portrayed here because I usually love him. I really love the plot of the stories, and how there seems to be real reconstruction going on in the wizarding world.

proof (28664 words) by novensides
Chapters: 5/5
Fandom: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Harry Potter, Kreacher (Harry Potter), Kingsley Shacklebolt, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, Neville Longbottom, Hannah Abbott, Susan Bones, Ernie Macmillan, Rita Skeeter, Tiberius Ogden, Roger Davies, Luna Lovegood, Draco Malfoy, Pansy Parkinson, Theodore Nott, Aberforth Dumbledore
Additional Tags: Wizengamot, Politics, Baking, Extended Metaphors, DA Reunion, now with recipes, seriously, Writing this has made me hungry, when everything goes wrong bake a pie about it
Summary:

"Proofing, also sometimes called final fermentation, is the specific term for allowing dough to rise after it has been shaped and before it is baked."

Less than a year has passed since the final battle, and the Ministry is already up to its old tricks. Harry would very much like them to stop ignoring due process, tossing people in Azkaban, controlling the press, and menacing the populace with dementors.

He would also like, if at all possible, to bake a passable loaf of bread.

--> And another story dealing with post-war society. I really liked this Harry here, and how he learned to heal.

Magic Blankets (3013 words) by Lady_Lombax
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Star Wars - All Media Types, Star Wars Prequel Trilogy, Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008) - All Media Types

What else did we expect?, Blanket Permission
Summary:

C-3PO accidentally saves the galaxy by teaching a young Ani Skywalker how to crochet.

Or in which the power of love and crafts solve a lot of problems and the Jedi Creche is about two inches away from kidnapping Anakin at any given moment.

--> And something feel-good and warm and fluffy and fix-it. Love the theme running through the story. And I always love to see a happy Anakin.

Take Me To The Stars (Just Say Oh) (3751 words) by auroreanrave
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), Spider-Man - All Media Types, Marvel Cinematic Universe
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences

Characters: Ned Leeds, Peter Parker, Michelle Jones, Shuri (Marvel)
Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Alternate Universe - Post-Decimation, Friends to Lovers, Secret Crush, Secret Admirer, Dorks in Love
Summary: He has no idea who could be doing this. Someone observing him closely and buying him things he either needs or wants or would like. It's an odd cocktail of emotions, suspicion and worry intermingled with a strange pleasure of being at the centre of attention, even if it's only for a little while, he can maybe relish in having someone send him nice things. Even if it's just this tiny two-person drama, and not saving the city with help of a spider's bite.
