The Ground Beneath their

by afullrevolution

Licking the Philosopher's Stone was perhaps not something Harry would have done if he'd known what it was. But that act, along with so many others, started him down his path to building a library with Hermione and Millicent while Riddle lurked in the background. So, he was happy with how things turned out.

Gravity Falls

The Poetics of Space

by Pokimoko

“What was it like when you lived here?” Mabel asked, gesturing at the Shack. Ford let out a gentle chuckle. “Very different, I assure you. If these walls could talk, I'm sure they would tell some stories.” Oh, if only he knew. —(or: the Mystery Shack has many secrets, and just as many memories. Afterall, a lot can happen over four decades within the space of four walls.)

love and dreams

by she_who_reads_malec (all_fandoms_reader)

Magic sinks into things.  Or, sometimes places aren't just places. And sometimes love stories are unconventional.

The Haunting of the Dark Moon Cafe

by Alphillan

In desperate need of some place out where the Prophet won't harass him, Harry asks Ginny for a recommendation. He's not expecting the cafe she recommends to be owned by none other than Draco Malfoy. Ever since he left the Wizarding World behind, Draco has had to work in the Muggle world, not having the safety blanket of his family fortune to support him now after the war. He ends up the owner of a "haunted" cafe, when the "ghost" grows so worrisome that the previous owner and his fellow employees fled, not wanting to be on the receiving end of its violence. The only thing is, neither Draco nor Harry have actually seen the ghost, despite seeing the evidence of there being one. Harry thinks there's more to the mystery than that. And, unfortunately for Draco's sanity, Harry loves mysteries.

rose gold and glass domes

by Bi_CandleWrite (lizbethen)

The creature sweeps a wing towards the room, as if to gesture to the stones themselves. “This Castle is… old. It has a lot of history. Roses hold a lot of symbolism for the deity that once lived here, the one the Castle was made for.” Techno squints. “What kind of symbolism?” He asks suspiciously. “You might have noticed,” The monster’s voice rumbles, rolling slowly through the air, “But the Castle’s Signet is a rose. Black ones hold significance, yes, but yellow…” He makes a face like he’s pursing his lips, though it’s hard to tell through his twisted features. “They are important.” ORTommy is bored in this stupid village, with nothing to do and friends that live out of town. Wilbur goes to search for the missing member of their family, and makes an accidental stop to get Tommy a gift.Things go about as well as you would expect. ORI watched Beauty and the Beast and my brainrot went "SBI AU"So I went ahead and took out the romance and instead made it familialI also added a bit of... lore :)

Hypnosis Mic (Albums)

helplessly fall for you

by mugen

Hifumi puts away his socks in his drawer, and steps into Doppo’s room to drop the rest of the socks off next to a pile of freshly ironed shirts. The door creaks as loudly as usual, like it does every time Hifumi enters the room alone. “What do you want from me,” Hifumi mumbles. The door softly creaks in response, as if it's mocking him. It’s not that their apartment doesn’t like him, because it does, it really does. It likes helping Hifumi: it flings open the drawers Hifumi asks when he’s cooking and both of his hands are full, closes taps, and never, never ever lets spiders in. But sometimes it gets stubborn, but that’s the price they have to pay for an otherwise helpful building. The worst it has ever done was almost locking Doppo with him into their teeny tiny pantry a few hours after Hifumi accidentally said something about kissing Doppo out loud, but nothing happened, really, crisis averted. But that was a while ago, it should know better by now. (OR: household chores, a mundanely magical apartment, a few text messages, and some waiting)

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure

anywhere i may roam

by justadino

Some days, it's easier to lick his wounds at the hideout then limp back to his apartment. The place is a fucking wreck, sure. Shelves half-attached to the walls, always threatening to come off, the fridge only somewhat functional, mildew every place you would expect and some where you wouldn't, yet. It’s the hitman team’s wreck.written for keep fandom weird from the prompt sentient setting or location

Locked In with Abbey

by estelariia

All eyes were on Notre-Dame in the spring of 2019, for good reason. But what the humans don’t know is that something terrible also happened with a different building only a few months before. Westminster Abbey -one of Notrie’s closest friends, social butterfly and life of the party- suddenly went silent.Dead silent.No one knows how or why it happened, though they have their theories. But one thing’s for certain: Abbey’s dead, because that cold, empty silence for a building equals death. Everyone has been mourning because she’s gone.Except… she’s not.
