Summary
Childe and Pantalone have been dancing this same dance for longer than he cares to admit. It had started as a stolen kiss after a party, too much apple liqueur on his tongue, and it had spiraled out of control from there.
It’s unclear whether this is some passing fancy, some great romance, or something else. Neither of them know anymore.

Summary
“What do you know about horcruxes, Malfoy?” she had asked.
He only stared at her. Horcrux, he repeated in his head. He didn’t know what it was but something about it felt familiar. The name buzzed between his lips, sizzling into too low vibration and intelligible consonants.
“Horcrux,” the word tasted like acid. He resisted the urge to say it again. “Is that what I brought last night?”
She’d offered him soup instead of answering, the first warm food he had had in weeks.[ There is hardly anything consistent in Draco’s life. A year after joining the light side, he feels his world turn the wrong side up with a foreboding sense of calm. Thrown off into hunting the cancerous horcruxes with Hermione Granger and losing his mind in the midst of an avalanche, his only constant is this—she is the respite in the godforsaken war, and wherever she goes, he follows.]

Summary
Martin is restless.
That is hardly new. It’d been a few days since the world changed -since Jon changed-; the passage of time is mostly meaningless in this brand new hellscape, but that does not mean it is not still felt in one way or the other.
Martin has been patient. After all but barging through the door with Jon’s name on his lips, finding him gasping for air on the floor as everything changed -as Jon changed-, Martin had been a downright saint. Holding him while everything got rearranged, tiny piece by tiny piece, smoothing down Jon’s sweat damp hair, murmuring mostly meaningless reassurances.
Martin has been understanding. Jon’s mostly quiet, these days, still trying to fit all that he is in a single container of flesh and bones. Rerouting his thoughts to work with a human brain. Testing the edges of his consciousness.
It is a lot of work, Becoming.

A door is opened. A lot more than what was bargained for comes in through.

Summary
The war ended, but Hermione Granger’s life fractured beyond recognition. Orphaned, exhausted, and burdened by grief, she escapes into the Muggle world, leaving magic behind to heal in solitude. But when an unexpected friendship with Narcissa Malfoy draws her back to the Wizarding World, Hermione finds that not everything is as she left it. Especially not Draco Malfoy, whose quiet smiles and lingering glances suggest he’s been waiting for her return far longer than she ever realized.
Some wounds heal slowly. Some hearts even slower. And sometimes, fate needs a little push… or a mother’s meddling hand.

Summary
You never expected to find him again—not here, not like this.
Harley Sawyer, your long-lost fiancé, a feared name in the ruins of Playtime Co., is more machine than man and neck-deep in something terrifying. The toys call him a monster. The Safe Haven sees him as a threat. But to you, he’s still the person you once loved. Maybe still do.
When a letter pulls you back into the decaying factory, curiosity turns into survival, and survival becomes something more dangerous: hope. Torn between loyalty to your new allies and the man you left behind, you’re forced to choose between love and duty.
But slowly, you realise this isn't what you desire. You're too consumed by grief to realise that.
