    Summary

    Two years after her promotion to MI5’s Counterintelligence branch, Hermione Granger has uncovered three universal truths: her brain tumor gives her less than a year to live, her workload is designed to kill her faster, and her boss, Bellatrix Black, is the devil in a designer coat. Her plan? Kill Bellatrix and go out with a sense of control.

    Unfortunately, due to interference from a third party, Bellatrix doesn’t die on schedule and ends up with amnesia. Now, in a bizarre twist of fate, Bellatrix believes they’re a couple, Hermione thinks this is the worst undercover op ever, and MI5 HR finally has some entertainment.

    Or: She wanted to kill her boss. Instead, she’s stuck dating her.

    Summary

    The last Black will be born to a Muggleborn witch and Orion's star on the Winter Solstice after the Dark Lord's defeat, and new age will begin. 

    The story of a prophecy fulfilled, told by second-hand observers. Fluffyish multi-shot with no plot whatsoever.

    Summary

    “I do prefer it when you do other things to my skin.”

    And once again, Hermione’s brain was gone. Off. In the gutter. Derailing itself with horrifying efficiency.

    No.

    She tore her eyes away, mentally superimposing the image of her grandfather at Christmas – spectacularly pissed, stark bollock naked under a tartan robe, arguing with the angels in the tree. Still not enough. So she added the memory of that one chapter in Magical Maladies and Their Management, the one with close-up photos of Spattergroit pustules. That did the trick.

    Refreshed, centred, pure of thought, she cleared her throat and continued the tour.

    Or: Bellatrix Lestrange is supposed to stop committing crimes. Hermione Granger is supposed to stay impartial. Neither of them is very good at following instructions. There’s a dead man, a collapsing investigation, and a rapidly collapsing sense of professional distance.

    (Works both as a sequel to Of Magic, Mayhem and Poor Decisions and as a standalone if you don’t like slow buildings.)

    Summary

    “I thought it was considered bad manners to allow a princess to pour her own tea.” Tsunade’s rewarding scowl is enough to ignite a spark of mirth inside Sakura—ah, perhaps teasing Tsunade is truly an excellent pass time, if this is how she reacts; like a petulant child!

    “I’m the Hokage, not a princess,” she corrects, not quite comprehending what Sakura is alluding to. That’s okay, Sakura doesn’t mind explaining.

    “Mhm, that’s interesting,” Sakura starts, and watches the way Tsunade’s eyes narrow in suspicion. “Shizune-san told me an interesting tale,” something like recognition flares to life in those brown irises that toe the line of being amber in the right lighting. “What is it that they called you? Tsuna-hime?” She cannot contain her laughter at the cross expression that breaks out across Tsunade’s features. It racks her body and consumes her until she is nothing but a shell of gasping breaths and teary eyes—can she be blamed? The look of annoyance Tsunade bears is enough to fuel Sakura’s nightmares for a lifetime. 

    Or, the five times Tsunade and Sakura flirted the boundary between friendship and romance, and the one time it no longer mattered.
