Summary
Down the sidewalk was a woman jogging, at first sight Wednesday’s breath halted in her lungs.
She was breathtakingly beautiful, even with sweat dripping down her forehead and dampening her t-shirt. She had light blonde hair with pink, purple, and blue streaks all throughout it, and it was tied up in a bun at the back of her head.
Wednesday couldn’t fully see her face from this distance, but Wednesday knew that the woman had beautiful blue eyes, bright enough to put the ocean to shame.
Wednesday thought she was dreaming, because that was the only place she had ever seen this woman before.
Those blue eyes, that blonde hair, burned into her brain. She would never forget it.
Wednesday had been plagued with dreams of the girl for years and years.
Countless nights, had Wednesday woken up with that girl's face on her mind, a name on the tip of her tongue, a name that she could never remember once daylight came.
The woman ran past the garden like it was so easy, as if the sight of her hadn’t left Wednesday spiraling and questioning reality.

Summary
“Lucius Abraxas Malfoy,” Kingsley continued, and the formal use of his full name felt like a tolling bell, “you are found guilty on all charges. For your crimes against wizardkind, for your willing participation in murder and torture by the use of unforgivables, for your financial support of Lord Voldemort's regime, this court sentences you to life imprisonment in Azkaban.”
The gavel came down with a sound like thunder.
Hermione watched as the verdict hit Lucius. For a moment, his carefully maintained mask slipped, and she saw the man beneath. His eyes found Narcissa’s, and something passed between them, a lifetime of words compressed into a single look. Then the mask reassembled itself, and he straightened in his chair, accepting his fate with what remained of his dignity.
“Narcissa Malfoy and Draco Malfoy,” Kingsley continued, his voice gentler now, “in light of the testimony of Harry Potter and Hermione Granger, and considering the mitigating factors in your cases, this court finds that while you are guilty of lesser crimes, you will not be sentenced to Azkaban.”

Summary
Some call the wastes lawless. An endless stretch of nothing save for dry winds that rob one of their breath and sand their skin bare, broken up by scrounging rogues and outlanders who owe no honor to anyone. Where order goes to die.
At one time, Dysir thought this was a dramatic over-telling of the basic truth that when there is not enough to spare, those with less struggle the most. There are laws here, if one cared to know them. Nature's laws. One must be willing and able to do what is needed to survive.
With no skin to sand or breath to lose, Dysir found it far more bearable than he'd been warned about to live outside the laws of humans who feared the elements and animals within the wastes. A machine made to survive and endure taking to a vagabond's life seemed poetic even. Destined. He was made for this.
But now, he wasn't so sure. Not a single thing about the wastes was terrible--excluding the limited access to recharging stations at times--and yet every obstacle he could face with ease presented a new challenge he'd never considered since...
Why did he have to stop? Why could he not just ignore the pitiful crying?
Why was there even a baby out here to begin with?

Summary
John Allerdyce gets evicted from his own life on the same afternoon he inherits a bowling alley. One phone call from his best friend about the death of his estranged great-uncle later, and he's on a plane to San Francisco with a duffel bag that's embarrassingly light and no idea what "owner" is supposed to feel like. Rainbow Lanes has regulars who loved the man John barely knew, a manager who doesn't hand out second chances, and enough deferred maintenance to hum like a warning. This is what happens when John's handed a life and has to decide, slowly, if he'll let it be his.

Summary
He wished Jaron knew his excitement every time he wrote to a different boarding school, only to become crushed when he received no response. He wished he knew that he prayed for him every night, tears in his eyes as he made a wish upon every star, even the ones that weren’t his lucky ones. He wished he knew that on the rare nights that he did fall asleep peacefully, he would dream of the other boy, and how a desperate, bittersweet feeling would seize him as he awoke, a world he yearned for but was unable to grasp.
But even if Jaron were to come back now, it would be completely different. Would he still remember Roden? Would they still be the same as they were before?
Would they still be best friends?
-
High school AU where Jaron and Roden had been childhood friends before Jaron left without any explanation (obviously) and they get a second chance.

Summary
You arrive at the Ministry after a clear cut but with no clear purpose, just a slow new start, a place to stay, and the weight of a past you haven’t named yet. The Abbey is vast and strange, filled with softspoken clergy, ritual magic, and a rock band made of something burning with warmth and love.
You’re not here to change anything. But sometimes, being seen changes everything anyway.
A slowburn, deeply worldbuilt journey through found family, sacred spaces, and the quiet gravity of being noticed.
