The Varied Insanities of Melfina the Blue

Okay, so the idea I had last night (before I forget)
An ancient land, where 14 families in 14 Houses rule. These Houses have a will of their own, and a magic of their own. Those who are lucky enough to grow up in these Houses emerge changed, powerful. The Houses protect their own, their legacy, by any means necessary. But when strangers invade, what will the houses do to stop them? What will it cost?

That's all I got, but I thought it was a cool idea for an original fic.

It occurred to me that since I have one WIP in this Epilogue 'verse and two finished fics, I should maybe figure out timing, what people end up doing, stuff like that. Especially since I've already contradicted myself twice in fic o'doom without realizing it. So I have random notes under the cut, especially timeline related stuff (since I can't figure out years to save my life). I'm still trying to nail a few things down, like what the heck Pansy's doing, but this is what is mostly set in stone. Obviously, spoilers for Cauldron of Doom are inside. Read at own risk.
( Ooh, looky, notes. I never do this. )
