Summary
In her youth, Irulan Corrino cherished a deep friendship with Paul Atreides—until a decree from her father severed their connection. Years later, with the Atreides seemingly destroyed, Irulan believed Paul lost to her forever. However, the rise of Muad'Dib, the mysterious Fremen prophet leading a revolution on Arrakis, reveals a shocking truth: Paul Atreides is alive.
Now, as the empress and wife to the enigmatic and vengeful Muad'Dib, Irulan seeks to navigate her new life on the desert planet. Determined to secure her position, she decides to embrace the ways of the Fremen. But the desert holds secrets and challenges that Irulan might not be prepared for. Will her quest to become Fremen strengthen her or break her?

Summary
Paul Muad'Dib Atreides and Irulan of the House Corrino marry at the end of Dune Part II shortly after Chani leaves. Paul ascends to the throne of the Known Universe while the holy war engulfs humanity. However, like in the book, he spent 3 years with the Fremen and has truly become one of them. What Paul wants above all is the love of his life back, which is exactly what the man worshipped as a god cannot have, as Chani moves on with someone else and Paul is heartbroken as a result. Pressured by Jessica, suffocated by imperial politics, torn between his love for Chani and his grief at losing her, haunted by the consequences of his actions, Paul descends deeper into his own darkness, threatening to drag Irulan, who has a secret of her own, down with him. Irulan might be the nominal prisoner but is any of them truly free? And can either of them find a sliver of light as darkness and war start to consume everyone and everything?

Your Sacred Stars (Won't Be Guiding You) by Ceris_Malfoy
Fandoms: Shadow and Bone (TV), The Grisha Trilogy - Leigh Bardugo
13 Feb 2022
Tags
Summary
Cillian knows her for what she is as soon as he sets eyes on her.
The who comes after, but at the end of everything, he cannot blame her for what is happening to his parish.
How could he? She did not ask for these fanatics to come, to commit these abominable sins in her name.
Though he had been abandoned by the woman who bore him, though he is not grisha, he is still a Morozov, still linked undeniably to the Making and the Void beyond.
And so he smiles with bitter triumph as he uses his last breath to work the merzost, laughing as he dies.

Summary
alina has spent her life knowing what it's like to be hunted for being Grisha. she uses her powers to hide herself, hide other Grisha, and forms the Invisible Army. her main focus is to free the Grisha until she meets him;
the Darkling, commander of the Second Army, summoner of the shadows. alina comes into his life with a light he's never know, but also with a darkness he's all too familiar with.
or: my take on if alina knew she was Grisha her whole life and if her and the Darkling were truly equals.

Summary
The missive bounces off her thigh into the dirt. Alina reaches for it, her hands already shaking. It's the thin, yellowed paper carried by the scouting groups. There's blood on one corner.
“Another whole town.” Zoya doesn't give her time to read. “Three of the scouting group were killed on-site. They had to put down a fourth in the night. He tried to hide his bite.”
“We need another sun summoner,” says Genya, more gently. “Think how much we could do, Alina.”
-
A different type of terror has come to Ravka. One sun summoner will not be enough to hold back the tides forever. And everyone knows the best chance for a child to be a powerful Grisha is for it to have two powerful Grisha parents.

Summary
Alina Starkov knows what it is to lose. She has lost her home. She has lost people she loves. And when she discovers the strange power kept dormant inside of her since childhood, her life is ripped from her again. Now she is a Grisha. Now she is something unique to be used by whoever can get their hands on her first. Shu, Fjerdans, Kerch traders-she learns to see them all as enemies as she fights to survive.
Then she meets the Darkling, the powerful and handsome Grisha in charge of the second army. A man she swears she has seen before in passing hallucinations. He has spent years searching for her since the first rumors of a girl who shone like a star rose from Keramzin, and now he has found her.
Alina is not naïve. She knows this man wants something from her like all of these others. But still, she cannot help but be drawn to him.

Summary
My stare flickered across the room, a trill of fear slithering down my spine as quite abruptly I realized the Darkling was leaning against the door, studying me with near palpable intensity.
We sat in silence for what felt like an eternity.
"Do you make it a habit of watching people while they sleep?" I finally hoarsely inquired with an edge of sarcasm, making his lips twitch into that familiar ghost of a smile. It was enough to make my chest ache.
an alternate ending and bridge between Siege and Storm and Ruin and Rising, with the ending we deserve.
long AU :)

Summary
Harry turns forty, surrounded by plotting children and a wife who should have been a Slytherin, and he's probably going to fall off a broom before the day is over. What do you get the man who has everything he wants?
You keep him wanting.
(This is a day late and a few sickles short to be part of the "Happy Birthday, Mister Potter" challenge, but sometimes owls get lost with the post, and presents arrive a bit later than expected.)

Summary
He shrugged in reply, noticing them getting closer out of his peripheral vision. He kept his face forward, his fist clenched at this side. Ron stood between them, but it didn't matter: the hairs on the back of his arms stood up at the charge of her being close. Though he still often found other things to blame. The cold. His scar. Anxiety. Even the rain. Easier to pretend it was from the electricity in the air.
In the midst of April showers, the Golden Trio are safe for now. Though the water cannot wash away everything.
Snippets of Shell Cottage.

Summary
He looked at her, the autumn light revealing the strands of gold in her hair. Her warm brown eyes held a smile within them. “Yeah… it is,” he managed to reply, his throat constricting as he forced himself to look away from her. The hunger of his stomach was quickly overpowered by another familiar feeling. Longing. A longing that was weighted with guilt that always seemed to settle heavy in his gut.
Autumn has arrived and Harry and Hermione are on their own in the tent. Harry has his feelings totally under control.
Second installment of my seasonal quartet exploring what else could have happened with Harry and Hermione over the events of Deathly Hallows.

Summary
“Obviously you only have to mention us. We’ve managed to go seventeen years without shagging.”
Ten years after the war has ended Harry and Hermione are both single at the same time. The two of them now spend their Friday evenings together hanging out together after their work weeks. Some careless remark from Seamus about if men and woman can really ever just be friends leads to a series of awkward, silly, smutty, mostly happy events. A loosely inspired homage to the classic Romantic Comedy "When Harry Met Sally."- Language:

The one with amazingly well written action scenes.
The one that will have your heart racing while you read said action scenes.
The one in which a wizard vs muggle war may break out, leading to mass casualties on both sides.
