Once There Was A Darkness: Year One by C_A_Campbell

Rated: 3rd-5th Years •
Summary: Winner of the 2008 QSQ for Best Female Original Character. Twelve years ago, one man's life was changed forever by three simple words: “Severus, I'm pregnant.”

Now, twelve years later, a girl will embark on the journey of a lifetime. But life at Hogwarts for a first year is far from simple, especially not when she's in the same year as Harry Potter. She will face enemies, choices and danger, while struggling to deal with her past's dark secrets that, after all these years, still threatens to destroy her.

One girl's journey. One man's desperate search. One last chance for Severus Snape to find the daughter he lost.

A Quest For Ice Cream by Schmerg_The_Impaler

Rated: 1st-2nd Years •
Summary: Ever wondered why Florean Fortescue was taken by the Death Eaters?

Lord Voldemort is on the quest to find the best, evilest flavour of ice cream, and he will stop at nothing to get it.

This is a very short, very silly and quite OOC little one-shot written as consolation for the fact that "E-Journal" is on hiatus. It's based on a prompt given to me by the ridiculously talented Inigoenigma.

Nominated for Best Humour fic in the Quicksilver Quills awards!
