AO3 update
So I went ahead did an AO3 dump of the stuff that is both finished and archive-worthy from Round 3 of the Dresden Files kink meme, with six more works. The two boy wizards named Harry are now tied for most stories on my AO3 account! (also I now have exactly 69 stories up, snicker.) Looking at these in a set: wow, I appeared to be working through all sorts of standard slash tropes. Also: a lot more Marcone-heavy than I thought at the time.
Title: Mu
Summary: A monk asked Jõshû, "Has a dog the Buddha Nature?"
Words: 1,297
Notes: For a prompt in which Mouse gets turned into a human. Obviously my first thought was that Mouse and Hendricks would be a matched set! So this is Mouse and Hendricks being a matched set (possibly will eventually get used for kink_bingo, despite being aggressively gen: also quotes Barrayar and Eagle of the Ninth on the subject of hounds.)
Title: The Ballad of Lord John and Lord Harry
Summary: This is some fragmentary pieces of a traditional ballad recorded a century or so ago on the fringes of the Chicagolands. It's clearly related to the myth cycle called "the Matter of Chicago", but it seems to carry the relationship in a different direction, and may be based on different source material, including bits incorporated from unrelated traditional ballads.
Words: 1,847
Notes: Somebody asked for a Robin Hood AU with John as Robin and Harry as Marion. So of course I went and looked up the Robin Hood Child Ballads. And then started re-writing all the Harry/John scenes from the books in medieval ballad meter. La. (I still kind of what to continue this - at least until I get to the Dead Beat section, which is of course in Norse alliterative verse. As is the Changes section.)
Title: On the East Wind
Summary: Harry Dresden has no idea what he's getting into when he decides to save two little girls who live in a house that belongs to Gentleman Johnny Marcone.
Words: 5,162
Notes: Somebody wanted a classic nanny AU, with Ivy and Amanda as Marcone's daughters. I think I ended up writing it, even though nanny!AU is pretty off track for the sort of thing I've been writing lately, mainly because a) I was tired of AUs where non-blood-related characters suddenly are, with no explanation (genetics doesn't work that way!) and b) I was tired of stories where Amanda wakes up from a decade in a coma and shows no long-term effects from her injury at all. So this has Ivy and Amanda as Marcone's foster kids, and an Amanda who is out of the coma but working with severe traumatic brain injury.
Title: Pray for us sinners
Summary: The great thing about ectoplasm is that, unlike blood, it never leaves stains.
Words: 1,590
Notes: This is me, writing blatant Harry/John hurt/comfort emoporn! Something else that's at bit off my usual track. Enjoy.
Title: Elements of Harmony
Summary: Baron Marcone's first impression of Princess Celestia's crack negotiating team was that they were very young.
Words: 1,553
Notes: Ah, random crossover crack. And now we're back to normal. Trivia note: the shortest Way from Chicago to Equestria starts in the treehouse in the Carpenters' yard.
Title: life's like this you
Summary: Cats, of course, don't have to deal with quadrants. Cats just find another cat they have feelings for, and go for it. I sometimes think cats are smarter than humans. "You know, Mister," I said, "I bet that if I lived in a world where us humans kept things as simple as you cats do, all of this would be a lot less complicated."
Words: 2,232
Notes: Yeah, the troll romance AU was me. I still think my version of Auspisticeship makes more sense. Also: hello Homestuck fandom! this story already has 4x the hits of any of the others in this set.
Anyway, I realized belatedly why it seemed like this was way more Marcone-heavy than I remembered: when I go through my DF-related wips, 6 out of the 10 have no Marcone in them at all, even as a minor character. So it's not that I only write Marcone stories; it's that I write short, silly Marcone stories, and everything else drags on forever unfinished. Bah.
(Summaries of the aforesaid WIPs, in three words or less, so I don't forget about any more of them: Harry's cowboy ex; Bob doms Harry; Harry you tease; shack, snowstorm, soulbond; glass slippers, incest; True Thomas; oh god why; Diefenbaker/Tera West OTP; Harry/Molly chastity play; old devil blues. Now I just need to do something about them. Oh, and finish reading Changes. Finally.)

Ha, I also have a fic titled 'Pray for us sinners' and I find this amusing.
Troll romance au looks interesting. I will read that later.
