Dean Can('t) Explain, or Sam Considers Homophobia by Mulletbro
Fandoms: Supernatural (TV 2005)

Summary
There were moments that changed the course of Dean’s life drastically: his mom dying, carrying his brother to safety, his first solo hunt at 17, reuniting with Sam, going to Hell, and his subsequent rescue, just to name a few. And of course, who could forget the moment when he was found under Cas in the backseat of the car, leading everyone to think that they screwed?
Suddenly, Dean’s biggest problems aren’t apocalypses, demons, and monsters anymore—it’s trying to convince his family that he isn’t dating Cas. (And if he has to hear Sam say one more word about his alleged sex life, he's gonna blow a gasket)

Summary
Quen felt peculiar up on the dais, flanked by stags and lions and wolves.
The Usurper had once been a formidable man, with blazing eyes and a massive war hammer. Now, he was just a red-faced fat man, a pathetic drunk who ate as gracefully as a half-starved hog.
His Queen seemed to be a perpetually unhappy woman. Cersei Lannister was as beautiful as the singers said, though the woman had all the warmth of a dead fish.
She might have done well in the north, Quen thought, almost pitying.
(Or: The gods in their blind malice give Theon the feeble body of a woman.)

Bookmarker's Notes
"Feeling unaccountably weary, Quen finally settled down next to Grey Wind and closed her eyes.
When she opened them again, the hearth was only cold ashes, but Grey Wind was warm, sprawled over the lion’s share of her featherbed.
Robb was still crumpled in the chair by the hearth, wrapped in an old quilt with his knees tucked up to his chest. The sight made her heart hurt."
—
"She had dressed in a thick gown of black wool fortified in leather, with a swordbelt buckled about her waist. Her hair was an elaborate tapestry of braids—one woven with silver clasps for her mother’s kin, one with gold for her father’s, one with a pearl clasp for her flowering, and one threaded with iron for the first man she killed. In tall, black calfskin boots, Quen felt half a princess and half a pirate."
—
"Everywhere, men were fighting and screaming and dying. The noise of it was so loud and terrible that it felt as though the world were splitting apart at the seams."
—
"The Flayed Man rode atop a huge, blood bay courser. His helm and gorget were wrought in the shape of a man’s face and shoulders, skinless, the mouth open in a silent scream of anguish. It was worse than it had ever been in her dreams. It was terrible, and it was true."DRAW!!

Summary
Salazar Slytherin hated the mingling of Wizards and Muggles. He left Hogwarts over the issue, presumably to start his own school, but nothing was ever heard of it.
Centuries later, Severus Snape overhears a conversation about Harry Potter's whereabouts, and turns to the only help he can think of - the safe haven he himself turned down as a child.
Now Snape has yet another master, and the Harry Potter coming to Hogwarts is not who anyone expects.
