Summary
"All her growth was the conveying of a corpse of hope."
(From 'The Rainbow', D.H. Lawrence)This is a story about coming into one's own, a meditation on the twilight of girlhood and the violence of crash-landing into womanhood. Follow Hermione as she navigates through the quagmire: Saving the world, getting top grades, falling in love, lust, and a whole lot of trouble, and comes out of it hopefully (at least) partially sane.

Summary
“Mind if I sit here?” the guy asks, and there’s a kind of apologetic hint to his tone. “Everywhere else is full.” Full? The coffee shop’s never full-
Oh. Apart from today, apparently. Every single seat is taken.
“Oh,” Luke says. “Uh. Sure.”

Summary
Sometimes, all that Harry needs is someone else to lather up his soap for him, and Zayn has some wise old owl way of knowing when that is.
“Is that my Sharpie?” He says, before mornin’, or hey or fuck, you look sixteen and I don’t know how to deal with that, and Harry, rolling the pen in his grasp, nods, “Thought so. Been writing in your journal?” Harry shakes his head and Zayn sits up further, skates the side of his thumb over a childhood scar on Harry’s bare leg, “You feelin’ okay, baby Jagger? Anything you want to talk about?”
There is. It’s clear from the pull in of Harry’s brow line and the way his toes fidget inside the bobbled wool of his socks. All boy. Little boy; grazed knees, ruddy cheeks, errant curls, shy eyes- Zayn itemises it all before pressing his next kiss to the tip of Harry’s nose. He wrinkles like a rabbit but Zayn is a little crestfallen when he doesn’t quite smile with it.

Summary
It turns out Zayn just gets…sexy when he's high. There's no other way to describe it, really, he's all broody and mysterious the way he likes to pretend he is when he's sober, except he's got this smirk on too and he keeps touching Niall. It's pretty hilarious.
