Summary
Perhaps it was a bad idea, the two never seemed to get along no matter the circumstances; one held the umbrella over his head — and the other was the rain that followed in their footsteps. An endless shower that turned bright days into gloomy ones. A never-ending downpour that painted the world around them.
Maybe it was a little rash to think that Mark and Sebastian could be tame for a week. One week. Every time Sebastian stepped outside he held the handle of the umbrella a little tighter, preparing for the inevitable heavy rainfall that always seemed to follow him; the umbrella would protect him, wouldn't it? Harsh words sung like prayers.
What if Sebastian had spent Summer Break with Mark in Spain.

Summary
Ramsey bowed her head slightly in shame. “And it wasn’t just anyone. It was MI6’s top hacker. If there’s anyone in the world that would be able to hack into the God’s Eye, it’d be her.”
“Then why hasn’t she ratted you out yet?” Letty demanded.
“Because she cut me a deal. If I promised to never use the God’s Eye or let it fall into anyone else’s hands, then she’d keep MI6 off my back. But, if I break that promise, then she’ll personally hunt me down and kill me.”

Summary
A what if story.
What if the wolves weren't able to stop Victoria before she found Bella? What if she saw her for what she was? Weak, human, left behind.
Victoria wants to avenge James's death, but the Cullens left, leaving their human pet behind in the process. They didn't seem to care after all, so maybe killing her is not going to achieve what she wants.
But what if Bella wants revenge against them just as much as she does? What if they join each other to help achieve the same goal?
And what if they both find a true family in each other along the way?

Law knew that was the only way to stay alive and well. He knew he didn't really have a choice, not when that clumsy giant was also in the equation. And it only got worse when he was sure that if he said a simple “no,” he would listen and leave, even if it put them at risk. Damn, he really didn't have a choice, did he?

Ron paused, then half-grinned, nudging him. “Honestly, I still have no idea what kind of posh nonsense brought you two together as kids. You and Malfoy? You’re like night and day. That’s what we call you in the Tower, you know.”
“It’s… a long story,” Harry said, grinning back. “One that involves spaceships, a toy, and Muggles.”
Or: Harry meets Draco before Hogwarts.
