Summary
Hermione willed herself to say something, anything, but her mouth had gone suddenly dry. Harry stepped closer and slid his fingers beneath the strap of her bag, the edge of his forefinger just barely grazing the skin of her neck as he took it from her shoulder. “That’d be me."
A little white lie to get out of a date with Cormac leads to more than either Hermione or Harry expected.

Summary
“Obviously you only have to mention us. We’ve managed to go seventeen years without shagging.”
Ten years after the war has ended Harry and Hermione are both single at the same time. The two of them now spend their Friday evenings together hanging out together after their work weeks. Some careless remark from Seamus about if men and woman can really ever just be friends leads to a series of awkward, silly, smutty, mostly happy events. A loosely inspired homage to the classic Romantic Comedy "When Harry Met Sally." -

Summary
“Well, let’s get you warmed up. What’ll it be? Long black?”
Her face shifted then as a hint of a smile dared to take hold of her bottom lip. “Do…do you actually know my usual order? I’m impressed.”Or...
The one where Steve and Nancy were never involved with the Upside Down and life in Hawkins is just a little bit different.

Summary
The system is flawed.
Nancy knows flawed systems, and she knows them well. She knows to question the textbooks, the politicians, the easy assumptions. The world has split enough under her feet. She's chased enough leads that have led somewhere unexpected — rats aren't always just rats and uneven accounting is sometimes just evidence of bribery. She knows easy answers aren't always the correct ones, Occam's razor be damned.
Soulmarks are a system, their matching an enforcement mechanism.
