Summary
Pippa Pentangle has been quietly haunted by Hecate Hardbroom since she was seventeen. Thirty years have passed without a word between them. When Pippa attends a gathering at Cackles, the evening begins with promise—familiar faces, old magic, and the fragile hope of reconnection.
But by morning, something is wrong.
There’s no body. No crime scene. No clear event to point to.
And yet, something happened.
Pippa is the only one who doesn’t remember it.
Everyone else seems to be walking on eggshells—careful with their words, cautious with their glances, as if trying not to trigger something. As if they know what she’s forgotten.
She wakes in a haze, hollowed out and disoriented, with the sense that something vital has been taken from her. As she searches for answers—through old spell books, forgotten objects, and fragments of memory—she begins to suspect that someone has tampered with her mind. Not erased everything. Just enough to leave her questioning what was real, and what was rewritten.
The clues are subtle. The magic is old. And the truth may be buried in a memory she no longer owns. -

Summary
A Hicsqueak fix-it fic inspired by what I wished happened in "Happiest Season." A story about going home and revisiting the past anew.
"Muddling through, that was Hecate in a nutshell. To be fair, on paper, Hecate was thriving. She had her own apartment. She was a journalist for a reputable publication. She had money in the bank. She had found her people, at long last. And all that meant that she was finally able to live her life on her own terms. Hecate was living every dream of her closeted teenage self. And if she still felt a bit of a fraud, especially when she visited home for the holidays, falling back into old childhood patterns long left behind, then it was a small cross to bear for the freedom to be herself the rest of the year."

Summary
Hecate Hardbroom is a spinster maiden aunt who has been left in charge of her rakish brother’s brood of illegitimate children upon his death. What she lacks in maternal instinct, she more than makes up for in her dogged desire to see that each and every girl in her charge receives a top education - so much so that she takes their studies into her own hands to see that it’s done properly. But soon, growing troubles with the estate pull her from the schoolroom and she finds herself fighting to protect the girls from utter destitution. Overwhelmed, she finds it necessary to engage a governess.
Requirements? Formidable. Bluenosed. Disinclined to wear pink.
Pippa Pentangle is none of those things. But she’s here to stay, and Hecate finds there’s little she can do about it.
