Sometimes a sudden insight is no use to anyone.

sistermagpie has an interesting post on Dumbledore. One of the commenters mentioned in passing that she feels sorry for the Dursleys- all they're doing is trying to lead a normal life. ["ping" moment] Just like the Dentons, right?... It's uncanny how well the League of Gentlemen's monsters fit in the Potterverse when you start looking, actually. Tubbs and Edward? Are they cousins of the Gaunts, or what? Umbridge could take Pauline down, but it would be a good fight. The darkness and claustrophobia of the LoG could work with the look of the later Potter films, too. Normally I find crossover fics a bit daft, but I sort of wish someone had kicked over this particular can of worms and had something interesting crawl out. I had a quick look, with no luck (although this LoG/Daria one is fun).

Fascinating thing about Shakespeare, Marlowe, and heteronormativity at glass_cats.

I was right about the baddies in Scholar of Magics. The ending was a surprise anyway. Very enjoyable.
