Summary
“Are you cold?” Wilbur asks quietly, and he pretends to glance back at the tv after he speaks.
The family needs to be careful about how this is done.
“No.” Tommy replies, even as they all watch him poorly conceal a shiver.
“Oh.” Wilbur contemplates for a second, before coming to a firm decision. “Well I am.” He says, and it’s not completely a lie. It is pretty chilly.
The boy stays silent, shifting slightly. Wilbur notices him risking a glance in the brunette’s direction, but he acts like he didn’t see it, since his eye line is still trained on the television.
“Could we have a hug to warm me up?”
————
Foster fic where empath!Techno can sense that Tommy is touch starved (a tinge of hurt when Phil and Wilbur hug; a dash of jealousy when Phil braids Techno’s hair) so he tells Phil and Wilbur in the hopes that they can help. But Tommy still vehemently refuses the touch that he longs for.
What are they to do to get the boy to accept their love?

Summary
Something inside her is waking up- and it’s not going quietly.
Rachel “Rat” Anderson never expected to open her eyes in a hospital room, let alone one where her mother lies burned and unconscious. The official story is a gas leak. But Rat knows the truth. She felt it. In her veins. In her bones. In the fire that didn’t come from anywhere someone ordinary could reach it.
Now, with questions circling and the police closing in, Rat is forced to confront a past she never understood, powers she never asked for, and a future she may not survive. Help comes from an unexpected face- and a dangerous promise. But with her sister still out there and people beginning to vanish, Rat has a choice to make: run from what she is… or burn everything down to find out the truth.

Professor Fig asks three of his seventh-year students to tutor Kitty to bring her up to speed- warlock Tae Jung, an expert in Herbology who will always stand up for their friends, knowledgeable Rosalinde Peverell, who despite her intimidating height is rather shy, and last but not least, the cunning Regina Black, a notorious duellist who always seems to get her way.

Summary
Regulus and Sirius Black are half-brothers who enter the foster system as kids and are placed together in the Potter’s household. For a while, they try to find normalcy in their new foster home, until Regulus is taken away by a mysterious aunt from his mother’s side, someone no one had ever heard of. Just like that, the brothers are split apart.
Years later, Hogwarts High is forced to absorb students from Durmstrang High after the latter school shuts down due to low attendance. And Regulus, one of those transfers, is having a miserable sophomore year. To make matters worse, James Potter—one of the people he’s been trying hardest to avoid—is assigned to be his “friend” by the overly nosy school psychologist.
James remembers everything. The quiet kid with the too-big eyes. The way Sirius changed after Regulus left. And now that Regulus is back, nothing is staying buried.

Summary
Pepper Potts is a lot of things: a former small time model, a loving mother of three, personal assistant to one of the richest and most powerful men alive (at least until the jackass fired her for no good reason!), and now... kidnapper?
Well, that's such a nasty word, isn't it? It's not like she expected her asshole former boss to wash up on shore with no memory of who he was. And it wasn't like she could just leave him to his own devices when someone obviously wants him dead. Taking him home with her was the only option.
Making it happen by pretending he's her husband... okay yeah, not one of her better ideas.
Based on the movie Overboard.

Summary
He didn’t know it yet, but the pattern was already being set. The quiet stepping-up, the constant looking out, the way he always made space for Soda first. He didn’t feel like he was losing anything. He felt like he was becoming something.
A big brother.
And even with all the titles he’d collect over the years – Team MVP, All-Star Quarterback, Star-in-the-Making – none of them would ever mean as much to him as that first one. That quiet, ordinary, extraordinary thing: being someone’s big brother.

"You're not on the clock, you know. You can save the lecture for the classroom."
He waits for Mr. Lawton to take the hint and fuck off. He doesn't. He just stands there, looking at Alex like he's a pitiful dog at his feet.
"I didn't mean to offend you," he says eventually. It's not quite an apology, though. "I'm just trying to understand what you're doing here."
"My laundry."

Summary
What if, in this AU Kidlock story, John Hamish Watson had met William Sherlock Scott Holmes and James Mycroft Ambrose Holmes, and their parents, when John and Sherlock were just children? In fact, suppose that Sherlock and Mycroft’s parents had decided to take John in as a foster child and adopt him, when they learned about his family situation? What if Mycroft and Sherlock had become John’s adoptive brothers? This AU Kidlock story shows how that could have come about. (I've borrowed the rest of Mycroft's full name with sgam76's permission—thanks, sgam76! Sherlock's own full name is, needless to say, canon-compliant.)

Summary
“Do you ever miss her? Sister Bernadette, I mean….”
Tilting her head to the side, Sister Julienne tries to choose just the right words to encourage her friend.
“My dear, I do not miss Sister Bernadette, because you and she are one in the same.......you are far, far happier now, than you ever were as a member of this Order. You exude a quiet joy that is a blessing to all who know you, and instead of helping others bring children into the world, you now spend your days raising the three you’ve been blessed with. Your vocation changed, but you did not disobey the calling the Lord placed in front of you.”-
On a summer day in 1958, an accident almost takes the life of Sister Bernadette, and though she survives, she has no memory of her life as a nun. This is the story of the life she builds afterwards--a life with Patrick, with their children, and with their dear friends and colleagues.
