Summary
Suddenly, she hears a voice behind her that makes her heart stop.
“Well, if this ain't the most beautiful sight in America.”
Rebecca turns around.
“Saying that while you're looking at me from behind isn’t very appropriate, now is it?” she smirks, raising her eyebrows.
A work event brings Ted and Rebecca back together. It is unplanned, unrehearsed and most importantly unforgettable.
But should the things that happen in Chicago stay in Chicago?

Summary
This will be a continuation of As Potter is to Snape. You might want to read that first. Basically, Snape and Lupin were both adopted by Albus and Minerva. Snape adopts Harry. He was never a death eater but he was a spy. This picks up right where it left off in the summer before 4th year. I haven't decided if this will go into Harry's next school year or if it will stop at the end of summer. So let me know what you think!

Summary
“What if I’m not suited for it?”
“You are,” he says it the same way he’d say gravity is the force that keeps us from floating away into space. Like it’s incontrovertible. Like it’s true.
“How do you know?” she asks. The question sounds so fucking childish.
“Because I know you.”

Summary
"Mum might work in an office filled with a lot of men who think they know a lot of things, and wear designer suits and really high heels that make her look intense and powerful, but if Rebecca Welton really loves you, you will know it, and you will feel it.
And even as I grew older, and we grew apart, I still think of her, and I think of home."
Rebecca Welton had always been good at shoving the hard things aside. The pain from her marriage and subsequent divorce, the complexities of motherhood, and even her budding feelings for one Ted Lasso. Then, she receives the call no parent—no person—wants to get, forcing her to face the mortality of a loved one, the fragility of human life, and the realization that maybe, she is worth more than her past trauma.
A story about taking care of each other, falling in love, and learning that healing is never linear.

Summary
“She assumed it was an act: the bumbling American on holiday who plays up the midwestern charisma and charms his way into her bed. And that was fine. That was what she wanted, for fuck’s sake. Never in a million years would she have guessed that the kindness and the good manners and the obvious respect for her as a human being were all genuine.
Sodding Americans.”
Rebecca brings someone home from the bar with a clear goal in mind: to pass one night in the throes of mindless debauchery with a stranger. She’s single. She can do whatever she pleases, thank you very much, which apparently includes getting herself in over her head when the stranger turns out to not only be very good in bed, but very good at worming his way into her heart.

Summary
In that moment she knows, that whatever else this may be, it’s the closest friendship she’s ever had. Because he hasn’t just tolerated her moments of anger and despair, her grief over a life she thought she had until it was snatched away with a flourish and the flash of cameras and the worst of her whims. She always thought that it would be Sassy; that friendships forged in childhood inexorably bound two people together in a way that no other relationship could. Instead it turns out that she didn’t know her arse from her elbow and it’s an eternal optimist from Someplace, America that she’s never heard of that’s holding her in the palm of his hand.

Summary
Ted has always been a physical person. But freshly divorced, he’s not ready to jump back into a relationship. It doesn't change how much he still craves to be touched. To be loved. To be wanted. He’s also not a fan of one-night stands. Never has been.
Rebecca, on the other hand, prefers one-night stands. They aren’t messy or complicated, and she doesn’t have to worry about attachments. However, being as known as she is ever since she won the club in the divorce… one-night stands aren’t really an option. The chances of her partner leaking it to the press wasn’t worth the risk.
That’s where the company Your Secret’s Safe with Me (YSSM) comes in. They specialise in pairing people based on the profiles they’ve built. The air of anonymity they provide means that you can have all the sex you want - no attachments to worry about. And no worries about having your sex life or kinks exposed.
