Summary
littlebastardreviews posted the collected facts from the 2014 UK Editions of Harry Potter: and this fact caught my eye.
'Only one non-magical person has ever managed to get as far as the Hogwarts Sorting Hat before being exposed as a Squib.'
But, gosh it just makes me want a story where a squib did make it through. So here's a drabble about a squib with a quick mind and a hand-me-down wand, who refuses to be denied her birthright.
--
when the hat drops over her eyes it asks, 'well what do we have here?'
she’s got a forged hogwarts letter with penmanship that’s perfect down to the ink splatter;
she’s got a complicated string of owls, only half of them forged, from parents to administration to ministry that’s so complicated her name ended up on the first year roll call anyway.
she’s got ten arguments, four pleas, and one smothered threat on the tip of her mental tongue for why the house that comes out of this hat’s brim better not be 'squib'
she’s got a lighter up her sleeve and an eight and a half inch wand in her belt that will never, ever work for her.
'well,' says the hat, 'better be slytherin then'

Summary
"Everything was going great ... until it wasn’t.
“No… No, no, no! No, it’s not possible! It’s not… It didn’t happen! Dipper’s fine. He’s fine. Just wait – he’s gonna get up and… and… He’s gonna… Dipper…"
“Mabel, I’m so… I don’t know…” Wendy muttered uncertainly, her voice sounding strangely hollow and confused and utterly lost.
That was basically what Mabel was thinking… in a loop… while surrendering to the feeling of absolute horror that was consuming her slowly but surely.
What now? She didn’t know."
---
Dipper never thought of using a sock to talk to Mabel and warn her about Bill possessing his body so Bill gets the journal and then does exactly what he said he would in the note he'd left for Mabel to find.
This is the aftermath.
(It has a happy ending, though!)

Todoroki has no idea how he somehow got himself into a cuddle buddy arrangement with Midoriya but he's not questioning it. In fact, he quite likes it.

Summary
The Todoroki family, historically, is kind of the worst at being in the same house together. Natsuo's track record of storming out of the house after two days max is well known. But this winter break's supposed to be different, with Enji out of town for most of it, so Natsuo gives it another shot out of the goodness of his heart. What's the worst that could happen?
If worst comes to worst, he'll just leave again.

Summary
The Golden Guard has been raised in the Titan's image all his life. He has always striven to fulfill His will, as told by His Mouthpiece, his uncle. Life has not been easy, but he's never expected it to be when following the righteous path.
And then he and his uncle are captured. Separated from Belos, the Golden Guard will do whatever it takes to free him so they can return to fulfilling the Titan's will—even if it means playing along with a "therapist" and giving himself a "name" and attempting to make "friends;" he'll do whatever it takes to get their guards down.
The only problem with this plan is that he wasn't expecting to like going along with his captors.
[Or, another Hunter-is-raised-in-a-cult-and-then-gets-rescued-while-Belos-goes-behind-bars AU, except this time the cult is in the Demon Realm.]
