Summary
The day before her wedding to Dashiell, Marian panics. How has she let it go on this long? She always meant to call it off, and now it's too late. Larry points out that she can’t marry Dashiell tomorrow if she’s already married.
Or: Marian and Larry elope the day before her wedding to Dashiell. And then must come back and deal with the social and familial fall-out of a secret elopement. Oh, and the fact that they’re married, haven’t even so much as kissed, and are both secretly falling for each other.
It's fine. It's totally fine. Everything is fine.
(AU after 2x07)

Summary
"Plants and fashion aren’t so different,” Pansy said, setting down the tray. “Both require understanding of form and function, of how material behaves under different conditions.” She handed him a cup, their fingers brushing in the exchange. “Both create beauty from raw potential.”
“I’ve never thought of it that way,” Neville admitted. “But it makes perfect sense.”
***
When Professor Sprout recruits Pansy Parkinson for a summer project propagating rare magical orchids, she expects soil-stained hands and tedious hours in humid greenhouses—not the slow, inexorable pull toward the man she once mercilessly mocked.
Forced to face her past and test who she has become, Pansy is met with an undeniable truth.
Summer plants the seeds of possibility.
Autumn tests what fragile roots have formed.
Winter forces them to choose what's worth nurturing.
And spring...
Spring reveals what flourishes when unlikely gardeners tend to each other's deepest soil.-or-
Some seeds take longer to germinate than others, but with the right conditions—with patience and care—even the most guarded heart can bloom.

Summary
Pansy Parkinson was the perfect person for this sort of thing. She knew how to play the game, she knew how to get her way and she knew how to keep her emotions in check. These men had not a chance in hell of getting the better of her, she fully intended to chew them up, spit them out and head home 50,000 pounds richer. But, one tall, kind and unendingly patient man seems to have other plans and Pansy cannot for the life of her stay the hell away from him.

Summary
Harry Potter was the Chosen One, and Neville Longbottom was the boy no one chose. Then Neville defied Voldemort, killed Nagini, and took down Greyback. Neville came out of the war different: You won’t get a rise out of him but you will get a reaction.
After a tumultuous trauma bond with Luna Lovegood and a failed engagement to Hannah Abbott, Neville has sworn off relationships—only to be paired with Pansy Parkinson under the Reconciliation Act. Neville’s running a nursery, guest lecturing in the Hogwarts Herbology Department, and hunting down Death Eaters with Seamus Finnigan, Alicia Spinnet, George Weasley, and the mercenaries Bill Weasley befriended while raiding tombs for Gringotts. He doesn’t need a Slytherin wife whose best mates are Draco Malfoy and Theodore Nott. Or does he? When he and Pansy prove extremely sexually compatible, Neville must confront his own questions about love, trust, and vulnerability—just as the revival of blood supremacy and a renewed veneration of Bellatrix have strange new bedfellows seeking him out.
Featuring sex, violence, and poisonous plants, DIRTY, FLIRTY, AND VINDICTIVE takes place during BLOODY, SLUTTY, AND PATHETIC with flashbacks to Neville’s life between 1998 and 2003.
