Summary
“I’m not—I’m not the same as I was,” Harry says, and he’s not talking about the way he fucked up his magic, or his body, or his sleep, or his appetite, “I can’t be who you want me to be—”
“I don’t want you to be anybody—”
“You do.”
“Who do I want you to be?”
“I don’t know,” Harry finally looks up, and almost looks right back at the floor—because Draco’s face is wide open, every emotion like a word written on a page, there for Harry to read, wanting for Harry to read. And Draco was never like this before, in school or during the war—but he’s changed so much since then, beautifully, in all the ways a person should, in all the right and wonderful ways and Harry’s changed in the wrong ones, “someone real.”
or
Harry leaves, Draco goes after him.

Summary
Hermione was never meant to rewrite the rules. Top of her class. Always prepared. Always predictable. But after one mistake and a humiliating betrayal, her certainty of who she is begins to fracture. And in the unraveling, she starts asking questions no one expects.
Draco notices. He’s not supposed to. Not her, not like this. But the more she slips beyond the version everyone knows, the more she disrupts the carefully constructed lines he’s lived behind.
The year begins like any other. But the ground is shifting. The rules are changing. And the game everyone thought they were playing suddenly doesn’t look the same.
Because this isn’t a story about enemies. Or even allies.
It’s about what happens when two people are faced with a choice: keep playing the roles they’ve always known, or risk everything for something neither of them saw coming.
TLDR:
Hermione wants revenge, picks up a broom, and becomes the hottest problem Draco’s ever had.Tension builds. Clothes come off. Draco can’t look away.
Unfortunately for him, neither can anyone else.
Chaos, thirst, and jersey-related disasters inevitably ensue.

Summary
A Muggle AU in which a ballet dancer and a rugby player call it “casual” while accidentally developing feelings, catastrophically failing at communication, and pretending it’s all totally fine.
----
“Why the hell are you here ruining my lunch, James?”
James rubbed a hand over the back of his neck, trying to find words that didn’t sound completely insane.
He failed.
“I... don’t think you should be sleeping with Evan anymore.”
Regulus stared at him like he’d just proposed murdering the Queen.
(...)
“If you need a fuck buddy for, you know, stress relief and stuff… You could just use me.”
(...)
“Come again?”
“If the position’s open,” James said, attempting a grin, “I’m applying.”----

Summary
It isn't often Hermione Granger does stupid things, but making up a boyfriend to avoid pity from her ex and saying she'll bring the made up man to a couple's getaway certainly could be classified as one of her stupider moments. Enter Draco Malfoy, who suggests an arrangement: they pose as a couple long enough for her to keep her pride, and for him to better the Malfoy name by dating a war heroine. What could go wrong?

Summary
‘Where’s my wand?’ he mutters into his knees.
Jameson glances at one of the Aurors who edges his way closer.
‘The Ministry seized it when you—’
‘I want my wand,’ he says, and he sounds…tiny. Like a little boy.
‘Look lad, once you’re in the shelter, you can see about getting your wand back,’ the Auror closest to his side says, the badge at his hip glinting.
‘I can’t go there,’ Malfoy says into his knees. ‘Please. Please don’t make me go there.’ I realise he’s crying. That he’s hiding his face to stop them from seeing. That this is the first time I’ve ever heard him say the word please. That he’s scared. That Draco Malfoy is asking for help.
Something shatters inside me and—
‘He can stay with me.’
