    Summary

    Carlos Hernandez is a reincarnated king from 1600's Spain - and not one that was remembered well by history. Currently in the year 2000, he is a disabled intersex person who is working at a toy store with the hopes of saving up enough to own his own toy restoration shop one day, for he loves art, history, and a bit of whimsy.

    Severus Snape is Severus Snape. He has survived the Second Wizarding War and as a way to try to enjoy his new lease on life a bit more, he has decided to travel to a different country each year. This year the country of Spain has been drawn out of a hat so, off he goes.

    What does fate (and this author) have in store for the two of them?

    Summary

    He hadn't expected to wake up in the world of RWBY, much less the world of RWBY in the past. Instead of finding Ruby or Weiss, he finds a collared girl in the basement of some ratty hotel - a girl that seemed destined to become a terrible villain. But what if he could change that?

    Summary

    It didn’t matter. His dad was back to sleep. And Kenny was one bass guitar short.

    He’d managed to get that guitar by pure miracle. Sold way too cheap at a garage sale, just fixable enough to warrant buying some materials. Was it perfect? No. Was it the only thing keeping him from bashing his head through a wall during the school week? Also yes. And now it was gone.

    Or, Kenny's dad sells his guitar, and with no way to outlet his stress, things build up fast.

    Summary

    Robert and Martin were sixteen and seventeen when they found each other in a place that taught them both to be ashamed.
    Robert offered love like a confession.
    Martin received it like a threat.
    Thirteen years later, in New York City, they meet again under a stolen name, carrying the same past in two very different bodies. Robert has built a quiet life around survival. Martin has built a successful one around guilt.
    But some things do not stay buried just because two boys grew up and crossed an ocean.
    Birthday Love is a story about first love, internalized shame, old wounds, second chances, and the kind of tenderness that can touch a wound without erasing the scar.

    Summary

    The apartment was smaller than the word apartment deserved.

    Calling it a box would have been more honest. Four walls, a ceiling low enough that Peter felt like he’d bang his head trying to stand up from unpacking, and a window that technically opened but jammed half the time. The place smelled faintly of mildew, maybe because of the carpet - or maybe because this whole building had given up on life a few decades ago and was just waiting for someone merciful to bulldoze it.

    He told himself it was fine. He told himself worse things had happened. Which, technically, was true.

    That didn’t make him feel any better.

    In the mystical world of gods and monsters, madness and chaos can fragile mirrors even survive in such an environment? Especially one that’s from the modern age

    Summary

    “His life had always orbited Oscar’s, like the smaller moon that never quite got far enough away to be anything else. Now, he could feel the orbit tightening. Gravity pulling them both toward the same center. He reached the Lexus, curled his fingers into the edge of the tarp, and took a breath. This was the line. He crossed it.”

    Nico moves between worlds that should never touch. Private school uniforms and strip mall parking lots. Fluorescent classrooms and salvage yards. The fragile promise of escape and the older, fiercer pull of survival. At Woodlawn Preparatory Academy, there are quizzes and scholarship expectations and the slow, bewildering possibility of being seen. In Oscar’s orbit, there’s loyalty, danger, and the kind of love that has teeth in it.

    When one world begins to bleed into the other, Nico finds himself caught between the life he’s always known and one he doesn’t know how to want.

    Summary

    Needless to say, it was a complete mystery who had gotten this chocolate bar for Remus, it’s not like he had many other friends, but he’d be lying if he said he wasn’t curious. A mixture of fear and delight, in actuality. Fear because someone may have discovered his illness and why he frequents the school infirmary, and delight because this may be from someone who fancies him. Remus’ face heated at the thought but he pushed it down.

    OR

    Remus Lupin is receiving mystery gifts on the mornings after the full moon and resolves to find out who is sending them.
