Sleepy Hollow, Frank/Jenny

"You're kidding me."

The motel receptionist takes a step back from the counter and Jenny can't blame her. She hadn't exactly meant to sound that strident, and she's well aware that right now she probably looks like the crazy person she always swore she wasn't. Pressing her lips together, she takes a deep breath, lets it out slowly. "I'm sorry," she says and she even manages to smile. "It's been a long day."

How long, the receptionist has no way of knowing, nor does she have any way of knowing that barely twenty four hours ago, Jenny was conducting a seance to talk to her long dead, very misunderstood and ultimately loving mother. That had wrung her out emotionally enough as it was; being charged with taking a Tarrytown escapee and fugitive from the law over the border had led to a sleepless night, a long drive and what seemed like forever standing on a bridge, waiting for him to join her when they tried to dodge a roadblock.

She'd thought, for one horrible moment, that he wasn't going to show, that he'd decided to strike out on his own. Hearing his footsteps behind her, his voice quipping, "You're a sight for sore eyes," had been enough to make her weak at the knees.

And she's willing to admit that might not have been purely from relief.

Now they're here, some dive motel on a lonely road and there's only one room, only one option left.

"We'll take it."

He's out of the truck before she's halfway across the car park, hood over his head and his hands buried deep in his pockets. "We good?" he asks and she knows her smile is tight, maybe even a little forced.

"There was only one room left," she tells him, heading in that general direction, unable to meet his eyes.

"Lucky for us," he says and she says nothing as she turns the key in the door, says nothing as he steps into the room, says nothing as she closes and bolts the door behind them.

When she looks back to him, he's staring at the bed, then at her and it's like all the oxygen leaves her body. He's looked at her like that before, on too few, precious nights, and the memory has left her breathless, sleepless, on so many nights since then.

But there had been reasons why they hadn't lasted and nothing about those reasons has changed.

His lips turn up in a slow smile and she hears herself saying, "I didn't plan this... They only had one room..."

She stops when he's right in front of her, one hand on her hip, the other on her cheek. Her heart pounds and she can't look away and she knew, she knew, that this would happen, knew it the instant the key was in her hand. Just like she knows it's a bad idea, just like she knows she doesn't care.

"Like I said." His voice is low as he lowers his lips to hers. "Lucky for us."

Harry Potter, Harry Potter +/ ghost!Voldemort, death isn't quite the end

From:

Whatever process happened after death before a ghost emerged, well, it apparently took time because it'd been months since Harry had cut down Voldemort.

Months.

It's possible Harry should have spent those months researching how exactly to get rid of a recalcitrant ghost, but to be honest, he really did rely on Hermione to figure out the logistics a lot of the time and sort of expected she'd fix this problem too. Unfortunately...

“Get rid of him? Just how do you expect I will do that?”

“I don't know! There must be a spell!”

Her eyebrow lifted and her lips pursed.

“Transfigure him?”

The hands went up, then she turned on her heel and walked away while muttering about her life choices. Draco, from his seat, snickered, completely unhelpful to the last as usual, until he realized that Harry had that look on his face and he beat a path after Hermione.

“Face it, Potter,” Voldemort told him, entirely too gleeful for a noseless blue-glowing spirit, “you're tied to me forever.”

“I'm sure there's a deal we can work out.”

“Hmm... No. No, I think there is great joy to be found in tormenting you.”

Harry sighed, glanced down the hallway, and started toward the library: time to start researching.

I like this. The humor. Well done! And Harry, finally buckling down to do his own research.

Thank you! I was giggling a bit while I wrote the fill, just picturing Harry's face when Ghost!Voldie showed up. :D

Yess, this was wonderful! I especially love Voldemort being so happy about being able to continue tormenting Harry :D Thank you!

His body lay in the mud, his triumphant victors gathered around. No one would mourn him; it wouldn’t be safe to do so. The new king might say he had taken the crown legitimately, might make a marriage alliance which would silence many who might otherwise question his right to rule, but he would spend the rest of his life checking over one shoulder in case someone with a stronger claim appeared.

Meanwhile Richard’s body would be displayed and ridiculed. He had done his best in what had been a near impossible situation. His reputation would be besmirched because the victor needed it that way. Had it ended in another way he might have garnered praise, but this was not just the end of a reign, but the end of an era.
