Summary
Newt Scamander had not intended to return to New York, much less the Woolworth building.
Nevertheless, he arrived on the second of May, bedraggled and soaking from the spring rains with his arm trapped in a junior auror's grip, and just in time to make himself useful.
Percival Graves has survived Grindelwald, with the scars to show for it, and returned to his role as Director of Magical Security despite a newly developed difficulty in speaking aloud.
When Theseus Scamander’s younger brother gets dragged into the bullpen at precisely the right moment to be helpful, Graves seizes the opportunity to bring in a magizoologist for a sorely needed fledgling Beasts division, and a battle-tested asset into the MACUSA fold.
Perhaps he should have expected chaos to follow in the path of a dragon rider.

Summary
It was, perhaps, unfair, that sleep routinely eluded him —
But. Right now, he wasn't interested in letting that matter. There was a vague plan floating in his head: drink this, and perhaps another; find someone for the evening who was willing to be a physical distraction for the dark hours and gone by morning.
“Mr. Graves?”
Nothing good would come of someone hunting him down here. He looked, ready to send the man away.
And paused instead.
“Mr. Scamander.”

KINKTOBER 2021, 1st prompt: High Protocol |Cock-warming | Collaring
He still hasn’t decided if he loves or hates the burning flush of humiliation, the pink sweep of visible emotion that came of stripping bare and folding himself down into precisely the kneel she had prescribed; straight-backed, chin up, gaze lowered, hands palm-up and perfectly still on his thighs; and then the hot red prickling that came with spreading his knees for just past shoulder width. To become explicitly and undeniably vulnerable, and to do it as willingly as a dog hoping for a treat…
Or, Booker gives head and doesn’t come, and we love that for him.

Summary
Written for the 2020 Whumptober prompt: Do These Tacos Taste Funny To You?: Poisoned | Drugged | Withdrawal
Dying is... Well, it isn’t his worst option, but it isn’t his favorite, either.
“Is something the matter, Director Graves?”
“Trying to decide,” he answers, not nearly so distracted as he lets himself sound, studying the other witches and wizards in the room.
“Do elaborate,” Grindelwald commands, and affects to look deeply intrigued, leaning back in his austere, straight-backed chair like it’s a throne, and taking his wine with him.
“To whom I owe a drink.”Series

Summary
Written for the 2020 whumptober prompt: I Don’t Feel So Well: Chronic Pain | Hypothermia | Infection
"What will it take, my dear Director, to keep you where I put you."
"Wasn't my idea," is what he says, sounding like gargled glass and roofing nails. Words are very hard in his mouth, the edges of them scrape. They're hard to think of, as well — he's tired, and he thinks his body might be confused between fever and freezing to death. "Would've stolen shoes."

The Courtship of Mr. Bond by marlovingian

Summary
In which Bond is a retired naval commander with too much house, Q is a mechanical engineer with too many sisters, and they have lengthy conversations about decorum, bonnet-ribbons and philosophy in Regency England.
~
“I just thought you might go pay a visit," his mother suggested.
“Me?” Q asked, aghast. “Pay a visit?”
“He must be starved for proper gentleman company, now that he’s settled in so far from London--”
“I am far from proper gentleman company.”
“--and perhaps if you befriended him he could introduce you to some nice heiresses.”
“Heiresses?” Q repeated, baffled and horrified. “What in the world would I do with heiresses?”

Summary
“Bullshit you’re straight. Everyone wants to fuck everyone. Sexuality as a preference rather than a fact of humanity’s innate, insatiable, all encompassing hornyness is a farce as childish as believing in God.”
There were a dozen different things Nile could have said to that off the top of her head, not the least of which being that Andy can bitch and moan all she wants, but it’s never going to make Nile stop believing in God, and it’s never going to make her anything but straight. Probably. She settles on, “I don’t think that’s politically correct.”
Or: a meditation on immortal sexuality, as experienced by one Nile Freeman along the long and winding road to discovering that Booker is the only person she really wants to fuck.

Summary
To maintain a cover story, Booker propositions another man and invites him to a threesome. Joke the first: Booker has no clue who this guy is. Joke the second: he’s inclined to say yes. Joke the third: so is Nile.
They’ll do something other than fuck about it eventually, but first they have to save a bunch of people, as usual.

Summary
“How old are you?” she asked. “And if you’re going to lie, I prefer you inflate the figure.”
~~~
While she was active duty Nile had given plenty of thought to the kind of good time she wanted to have when she got home. She’d certainly earned a strings-free liaison with an older man who wasn’t going to look after her, baby her, assume he knew what she wanted better than she did, or bring any baggage to the arrangement.
Someone without a heart to break would suit her fine.
Maybe she should have gone to therapy. Instead she hired a French escort with crow’s feet at the corners of his pretty eyes.
