    Summary

    "We're such fucking 'holics."

    Hermione drags her blurry gaze away from the page in front of her and tried to focus on the girl sitting next to her instead. Maybe if she squints she'll see more clearly.

    "What?"

    "You and your work. Me and this," Pansy waves her now-empty goblet for emphasis. "Holics."

    "Holics," Hermione agrees.

    Or

    Pansy only talks to Hermione when she's drunk. Hermione only talks to Pansy when she's sleep deprived and exhausted from over-working herself. This leads to a few encounters over the years but comes to a head in 8th year as they both turn to unhealthy comping mechanisms to escape the horror of everything they've lived through since Voldemort's rise. Somewhere in this mess though, they somehow begin to help each other, and when they're both 'clean', maybe they can finally focus on the feelings that have been building between them all these years.

    Fair warning, it's really slow burn. Soz lads.

    Summary

    “Do you always stare at people like that?” Regulus asked.
    “Like what?”
    “Like you…’” He looked around the room as if the words were hiding behind the tables. “Like you plan on telling them your life story and learning theirs in a matter of days?”
    “I don’t know we’ll find out in a few days, won't we?” Regulus rolled his eyes at James.

    Summary

    ----

    “Moons it is,” Sirius declared, selecting the liner. He turned round again and knelt up between Remus’ knees.

    Maybe he was getting it, slightly. His eyes flicked down for a second, and he didn't look… flustered, but he did look… something.

    “Hold still,” he ordered, voice slightly softer. Remus obliged. He felt the scratch of the liner and the cool of the paint in the corner of each eye. Sirius’ hands were lighter, more hesitant this time, as though he had at least some of a clue...

    ----

    “You could come too?” James offered, “Live the ‘rockstar's girlfriend’ life?”
    “I was a rockstar first, pretty boy.” Lily grinned into his chin, “You’re the rockstar's… mister? Boyfriend? Fuck toy? ” James laughed into her hair.
    “I’ll be whatever the rockstar wants,”
