Summary
It’s bad in every way a restaurant can possibly be bad, but mostly because the kitchen cannot cook decent food. Any meal at this hermetic, self-regarding restaurant brings a protracted march of bland, tepid dishes.
This restaurant is soulless, overpriced, and (curiously!) still manages to be packed. Perhaps its diners are masochists. Or perhaps London has finally embraced nihilism, culinary or otherwise.
Percy Weasley is London’s most feared food critic. One poor review from him can make or break a young chef's career. He’s known for his razor-sharp palate, brutal honesty, and the fact that he’s never once in eight years given a single five-star review. People say he hates food. He doesn't. He just hates bad food.
All Oliver Wood wanted to do was play professional football. But after a career-ending injury, he pours his energy into cooking. His soft-opening for his passion project restaurant The Pitch is off to a quiet start. That is, until a striking redhead walks in and agrees to be the first customer to try his food.

Summary
Hermione had always prided herself on being the type of person who was hard to take by surprise. Not knowing what to do and being lost hadn't been part of her life for a long time. However, when she was fired from her job as an investigative journalist overnight, Hermione realised that she hadn't planned for things to get this bad.
When her friend Theo told her about a summer job helping out at an inn called the Black Lagoo, in the village where he and Harry were going on holiday, Hermione jumped at the chance. After all, she's broke, desperate and could use some time near the ocean.
Draco Malfoy, a lawyer, is trying his best to redeem his name and keep his law firm afloat after his father's arrest for corruption and fraud. Suspicious of everyone, he is ready to spend a holiday away from the journalists and other gossip, also determined to portray him as a criminal.
Little did they know that when their paths crossed in the small seaside town of Godric's Hollow, a whole new world of secrets, doubts, and opportunities would open up.
But will they be able to overcome their fear of the unknown? Or will they manage to make some place in their heart for someone new?

Summary
This is not a romance to be admired or idealised.
In a dark, emotionally charged alternate universe, Hermione Granger is trapped in a toxic cycle with Draco Malfoy—a man who knows her weaknesses intimately and uses them to keep her tethered to him. Their relationship is a storm of lust, manipulation, and emotional whiplash. Draco ghosts her for weeks, lies when confronted with evidence of infidelity, and reels her back in with sex that feels like love and words she’s desperate to hear.
*Author's note: I already finished writing this but I will keep editing before posting more chapters in the future. I will not post this fiction at once.*

Summary
After his father dies, Evan’s mum packs their house and they leave Sydney for good, winding up in Saint’s End, a coastal town no one has ever heard of.
Evan quickly learns things in Saint’s aren’t like Sydney—there are rules, and weird rivalries, like the centuries-long rift between the only two schools, Hallows and Kings. Rich, arrogant and mean, the Hallows lot don’t have a very good reputation, least of all Barty Crouch, the minister’s son on his way to becoming an Olympic swimmer.
-
All news is big news in a small town, and the new Kings boy from Sydney is all anyone can talk of. Barty doesn’t particularly care. He has bigger things to worry about, like if he doesn’t stop blacking out during training his father might actually kill him.
So, he doesn’t think twice about Evan Rosier, not until he locks eyes with him for the first time, and finds he can’t look away.
This is a story about love. Love of the sea, and cicadas, and the stars, and black holes, and little red shorts. It is also a story about loss. Evan’s, Barty’s, and what is left at the end.

Summary
James Potter didn’t mean to trend on social media. He definitely didn’t mean to be caught on camera with Regulus Black, London’s most scandal-prone socialite and the last person he wants anything to do with.
To save his public image and his green energy company, James agrees to a fake relationship. Just long enough to satisfy the press, distract investors, and keep the board from panicking. Regulus, of course, makes it difficult. He always has.
Their history is complicated. Their chemistry is worse. And the longer the charade drags on, the harder it gets to pretend that nothing ever happened between them before. Or that it doesn’t still matter now.
Meanwhile, Remus Lupin is trying to keep their startup afloat, avoid talking about Sirius Black, and pretend he hasn’t spent the last decade quietly breaking his own heart. He’s used to staying in the background. But dreams don’t come true from the sidelines.
It starts with a photo. It ends with a flower.

Summary
Remus arrives in some sweltering corner of the EE.UU South, deep in the summer heat, after the death of Lily Evans and James Potter. There, two broken souls find each other in silence. They share cigarettes, cheap beer, a bed, and the most painful memories of their pasts.
There are no promises—only a brief truce between what was and what they’re trying to forget. And when summer ends, all that remains is a house on fire.
A one-shot inspired by “A House In Nebraska” by Ethel Cain.
AU without magic (or maybe there still is—back in England).
