Summary
“Aunt told me my name today,” he rasped, “said I needed to know for school.”
“Well,” Sim prompted tenderly, “what is it?”
“It’s Harry,” he cut out, cleared his throat, “Harry James Potter.” Silence, and then...
“Well, that complicates things a bit, doesn’t it?”~or~
A boy follows a cat and ends up adopted by some of the strangest people he’s ever met. Needless to say, certain plans made by meddling individuals are thrown wildly off course.

Summary
This happens to be the 15th anniversary of the Buffyverse Top 5 community, created to share recs in the Buffy and Angel fandoms, and later the other Joss Whedon productions. This timing is particularly fitting because I have spent several months since our 2019 session going through every post in the community (1,846 of them!) as part of an effort to locate recced content on AO3.
This gave me a unique perspective on patterns in the fandom which might be much the same for other fandoms which began in the pre-AO3 online era, and which may also have lost a number of their works over the years.

Summary
Donna Noble runs into a familiar face while out and about in Knightsbridge--literally. It shouldn't have been enough to nudge a meta-crisis into reactivating itself, but some things are just ineffable.
Everything spirals completely out of control from there, and Crowley blames Israfil for all of it--and also that complete idiot running around with their face.

Summary
Crowley has a revelation in the shower. Not the world-ending sort or the getting-laid sort, but one of the far less fun sorts. The sort that leads you to realize that something has somehow gone very wrong. Most likely, anyway. Maybe.
Heaven, why him?
OR:
Someone decides that the only way to deal with two annoying troublemakers is to stash them somewhere out of the way, possibly to be conveniently forgotten. Crowley and Aziraphale, however, are not exactly the forgettable types.

Summary
A deleted/missing/extended scene from Innocuous detailing what really went down at an inn located in Sumer in 3027 BC.
A serpent/demon still named Crawly is absolutely Done With Everything, and Aziraphale, in return, is completely baffled, because this is really not how the scene is supposed to go.Series
