Summary
“So ditch him,” comes out of his mouth before any critical thinking takes place. He holds out his hand. “Have dinner with me.”
“What?” Emma’s eyes widen. “That’s okay, I’m—I can take the bus back home.”
It’s clear from her tone she thinks the offer is just because her date stood her up and he feels bad. A miscommunication that must be rectified as soon as possible. Brendon doesn’t like being misunderstood.
He lets himself look her over, take in her bare legs, her short dress, the way the straps drape over her collarbones. “Dressed like that? No you can’t.” Impatiently, he reasserts that she should take his hand.
“Really,” she pleads, eyes wide and shining with emotion, “just go home. I’m fine.”
“I know you are.” That’s not the point.
It gives her pause. Two little lines appear between her eyebrows, adorably furrowed in confusion. “I—you what?”
He softens. “I know you’re okay. I’m asking you to dinner because I want to take you to dinner.”

Summary
“What, um,” she swallows and pushes her braid back over her shoulder with her other hand, “what are you doing?” Her voice wavers, and she hates that he might hear it. Hates that he might be able to read her mind—she’s never been good at hiding her emotions, they’re always painted plainly on her face.
“One, I need to hold onto something,” he explains, leaving no room for questions, “and two, I don’t want you to jump away from me while you help.”
“Help?” Emma slowly raises her eyes to meet his.
“Yes, help,” he says flatly, blue eyes boring into hers so intensely she’s sure he can tell what she’s thinking. “I can’t suture with one hand. I need you to be the other one.”
“I–I’m not sure I’m the best person for this,” she glances over her shoulder, looking to signal Donnie or someone who’s actually good at sutures. Her brain scrambles for an out, something to ground herself, to slow this down. “I’ve barely been here a month and—”
“And I’ve been doing this for twenty years, so you’ll be safe with me.”

Summary
There was no reason for him to intervene. They didn’t know each other. Not in any meaningful way. A brief exchange in a stairwell did not justify involvement. She might not even remember him. From her perspective, he would be a stranger—a large, older man in a car pulling up unprompted in the dark, in the rain. There were variables there he couldn’t control. Unknowns in how she would react, how she would interpret it.
He didn’t like unknowns.
He also didn’t like the image of her standing there, soaked through, waiting in the rain.
The irritation came quickly—not at her, but at the situation. At himself.
“Fuck,” he said under his breath.
He signaled left.
--
Or, the one where an orthopedic surgeon who hates unpredictability becomes obsessed with the one variable he can’t control.

Summary
10 years after the war, most of the Death Eaters have been caught or are dead or assumed to be dead. Antonin Dolohov fell quite comfortably into the latter category until the day the bushy-haired member of the Golden Trio burst into his new life with a very unexpected proposal.

Summary
In the years since the war, Hermione Granger has endeavored to foster reconciliation and reform — helping those once under the thumb of Voldemort find redemption and even growing close to a family she previously despised. But how far will her forgiveness extend?
When Antonin Dolohov returns from the grave, literally waltzing back into her life at a Yule masquerade, he bears a new name, a new mission, and a new promise: to restore her parents’ memories, albeit with one extreme condition. Hermione must decide how far she will go for her own blood, and how long she can avoid her quickly changing feelings for the man she once thought a monster.
But Antonin is not the only ghost at large, and the stakes get higher as the two of them get closer, week by week, to success — and to each other.
Audentes fortuna iuvat.
***COMPLETE.***
POVs: Hermione, Antonin, Lucius.
