Summary
H.P. pulled up with a harsh flap. I slammed into his wings. He turned around. "Flappy Bob," he repeated. A faint red began to creep over his neck. "Every name in the wide reachings of the universe exists, and they go with Flappy Bob."
"My first name is Mister. You gave all of us the first name Mister."
It's September of 1965. H.P. and Sanderson, neither of whom has ever had to look after a human child before, struggle across Kansas on their way home to Pixie World with their semi-kidnapped baby clown in hand. And without any magic to speak of, of course. The journey will be long, freckled with greedy humans, flirtatious Anti-Fairies, frightened godkids, and uncomfortable encounters with ex-girlfriends and ex-mother figures that both H.P. and Sanderson would rather forget.
First-person Sanderson POV; takes place following the opening scene of "School's Out! The Musical."

Summary
According to legend, in return for giving up their days of pillaging and torment, Mother Nature and Father Time bestowed three Castles to the Sluagh: Pink, Blue, and Gold. It is believed the Chimera faded out at this time (either because they were wiped out or because they withdrew willingly), leaving the Sluagh to govern themselves for the first time.
The Fairy Council was formed, and they created Da Rules to keep the fae in order. During all this time, Anti-Fairy World did not exist; the term Fairy World referred to all the cloudlands around Earth, and the sky was a unified purple-pink. Only during the War of the Sunset Divide would the sky split apart…

Summary
Although Timmy can be oblivious (often selfish), he really does have a heart of gold. At his core, he’s incredibly kind. His first instinct is to defend himself since he doesn’t trust easily, but he’s also a sensitive child who tries to do the right thing… even if it means he doesn’t get exactly what he wants.
A collection of character studies, bios, and meta essays for my Fairly OddParents 'fics, covering subjects like histories, personalities, relationships, character trivia, a typical day in the life, and family trees.

Summary
"I wasn't finished." Setting my glasses down on Cupid's stack of translations, I leaned back on my rusty stool. "The Wolbachia pipientis bacteria changes the entire reproductive system of the host insect. Those who've caught it don't just lose the ability to reproduce with other species. They gain the ability to reproduce parthenogenetically."
Once he's infected with Wolbachia pipientis, a dull and boring fairy named Fergus quickly finds himself a single father struggling to provide for 500+ genetically-identical offspring he never really wanted in the first place.
Suddenly becoming the first member of a brand new species means complex politics to deal with, a Pixie World to build, a shipping company and a therapy business to manage, and a budding interspecies war to survive... all on top of raising children.

Summary
"It's not my problem if you're embarrassed, Anti-Cosmo," H.P. said as I hugged my shoulders. He scratched his chin. "Hm. I suppose there's no help for it. If you honestly and truly want to wear a hat, then you'll have to secure a high position of power so no one ever dares to say anything about it that's negative in the least."
Since he was 8 years old, Anti-Cosmo has dreamed of becoming a father in a time period when Anti-Fairies are forbidden from reproducing. Determined to find a loophole in the cruel law, he searches desperately for a way that Anti-Fairies might reproduce without being forcibly bound to the whims of their Fairy counterparts...
... and when he gets his hands on the information he desires at last, he's forced to make a painful choice: Pretend he never uncovered the forbidden secret that he did, or put his long-sought knowledge to use at the expense of those he loves.
Yeah, I think we all know where this is going. Full steam ahead...

Summary
"No," Gary blurted. "Can't I stay with you instead? You're letting Betty and Kenny stay with you, right? That's why you came to get us when our parents died. You're here to rescue us. Right?"
H.P. fixed him with a quizzical stare. "You don't even know me."
"I know my mom. I'll take my chances."
Sanderson calls it kidnapping and H.P. calls it a secret unpaid internship with extra tax deductibles. For young Gary Cabrera and Betty Lovell, interacting with Pixies and the magical world will soon be called "Just another Tuesday."
💕 Third-person omniscient POV; alternating narrators. Takes place December 1991 to April 2002.

Summary
Anti-Cosmo was all strange, not the usual Anti-Fairy type of pretty. His snobby pickiness and constant gloating put off a whole lot of folk, and dadgum was he ever shorter than a couple of cement blocks in quicksand. His feelings forever got all mixed and crazy inside his head. He couldn't keep his desk straight if universal domination depended on it. Sometimes guys just gave her the strangest looks in public, thinking it funny how such a wild gal ever fell for a twitchy weirdo like him...
The political and familial reflections of High Countess Anti-Wanda, shortly before her pregnancy.

Summary
"The timing isn't amazing," the Head Pixie said carefully, leaving his hands on his face. His eyes wandered across his desk. "But I can make it work. Only, now I won't get to send you a chocolate advent calendar counting down to the days when next you get to see me. Frankly, I am a little disappointed about it. I like to invade your personal space with chocolates shaped like my wonderful face."
Anti-Cosmo resisted the urge to roll his eyes.
Friendship Day is an Anti-Fairy holiday, commonplace eons ago when a loyal husband would seek out a "best man" to intercept stray cherub arrows on his behalf, lest he fall in love with someone other than his beloved wife. While the act of taking shots has gone out of style, the tradition of treating an unmarried friend to lunch on February 13th has remained. But what do you do when your last unmarried friend is a pixie?
Third-person limited Anti-Cosmo POV; takes place between "Spellementary School" and "Timmy's Secret Wish." One-shot.

Summary
"When Mother took me last week, they promised that if I came back, they'd refill my sippy cup entirely for half-off. And do you know what the clerk there said to me today?"
"What did she say to you?" Anti-Cosmo asked, in the same flat voice Mr. Sanderson had used at the door.
"She said I had to have a" - Foop made excessive air quotes, even for this dire of a situation - "responsible adult with me in order to reap the benefit of a half-price refill. Me! Prince of the Anti-Fairies! Heir to the High Count seat!
The accidental addition of sugar, spice, and quite a few things that were nice in Foop’s aging potion suddenly turns him into the most demoralizing creature in the known universe: A popular* middle school girl. The antidote requires three main ingredients, but what’s a snip supposed to be anyway?
Third-person omniscient POV; silly Foop and Anti-Marigold childhood friendship 'fic; leads up to the episode “Blue Angel”.

Summary
The hairs trembled on the back of his neck. "What? Everyone in my family? Including me? No, I'm not a witch."
"Oh, but you must be. You see, I only talk to witches, and only when I want to. Ask your grandmother."
Kevin bit his lip. "But– but magic isn't real. I'm going to be a scientist who builds robot friends and babysitters. And before I do that, I'm going to be a dentist until I can support myself on robots alone. I can't be a witch!"
The cat winked. "Sure, hon. And I can't be a korrigan who broke Da Rules by falling in love with a crazy Fairy-hunting human. Guess we're both a bit insane."
As it turns out, Dimmsdale, California is no Peachfield, Idaho. As of 7:33 this evening, Kevin Crocker has hopped off the bus ready to spend a summer with an uncle and grandmother he's never met. Sigh. At least Uncle Denzel was nice enough to invite some of the neighborhood kids over to welcome him. That'll be fun… right? After all, he'd just be alone in the house otherwise… right?
Begins the Friday before "Chip Off the Old Crock" and ends the morning of "Chloe Rules."

Summary
"H.P.," says Anti-Cosmo, "you were married. You snogged her. Get over it."
"Ehhh… No, that's not the right word for how I set the mood. It was more like…" I make a rolling gesture with my free hand. "Word flirting."
"'Word flirting,'" he repeats. His eyebrows arch in concern. "No snogging. Oh dear. H.P., don't tell me the only time you ever expressed intimacy to her was when you were actually…?"
"Ehhhhhh…" I lift my arms in a shrug. "I'm not the mushy type. You know this."
Anti-Cosmo slaps his face again and draws his hand along his nose, down to his mouth. "Wow. I say, I'm quite certain that I would not have made a very good pixie. Or a pixie's boyfriend, for that matter."
Local Head Pixie confesses feelings for local High Count of the Anti-Fairies at ex-wife’s funeral, and an argument breaks out. With health bars.

Summary
51. Horror - Okay, so maybe that movie had been a little spookier than he'd prepared for... But even if flesh-eating mermaids haunted his dreams for a year, setting up that chocolate board, pillow fort, and brownie bar for his and Hazel's ultimate horror binge-watch was totally worth it.

OR, Dev and Hazel go to Tokyo, say hi to Dev's mom, and Dev picks on orchestra kids because #Band For Life.

51. Idiom - He looked like a gopher, popping in and out of the cellar, hauling down baskets of lemons and bringing up rinds and pitchers of fresh-squeezed lemonade. Standing by her delivery wagon, fistful of cash in hand, Vicky had a very, very nasty thought.
There's a way I wouldn't have to share ANY of the profits with him... And he DID already threaten to squeal about this little operation anyway... That's two birds, one stone.
50 scene snippets about two inseparable BFFs and a string of bad decisions. Predates lemon pit torture.
OR, Dale and Vicky were friends when they were kids.

Instantly, Foop’s head whipped around. His wings fell like the bones had been snapped. He pulled his lips back from his fangs and into a bright, shlurpy grin.
Aw, heck no. They may be synced, but they couldn’t be that synced.
A new classmate arrives at Spellementary School. Poof and Foop take notice.

Summary
Grian sighs. “The Clocker kids have gone through eight godparents in the last twelve weeks.”
“EIGHT!?” Martyn’s never even heard of clients getting a third chance, ever; two is a very hard limit, and only considered in special situations. Let alone in twelve weeks. Martyn stares at Grian, who shrugs, looking like he just fought a dragon and came away a little bruised. Yeah, all right. Damn.
Lucky I’m going home with Hermes, then. How’d you like to be the sucker to land that gig?
In which Martyn is a single dad fighting to make ends meet, Ren is a good best friend, Cleo adopts a snake, and the Clocker boys get the extra attention they need.
