Summary
Nesta Archeron has a buffer: taverns and their distractions. Noise keeps the worst thoughts at bay. Movement keeps her from sinking. Being the life of the party is easier than sitting alone with what she’s become.
Lucien Vanserra understands this better than most. He’s spent centuries learning how to read a room, how to smile at the right moment, how to make himself useful—wanted, entertaining. In crowds, he’s effortless. In stillness, he drifts. Parties are where he remembers how to exist.
After more than a year of failing to connect with his mate, Lucien is offered an unexpected olive branch—and chooses to meet Nesta on ground he understands. This is a story about two people who come alive in motion, who learn—unexpectedly—that not all joy is a distraction, and not every party is a place to hide.
Sometimes healing doesn’t happen in silence. Sometimes, it happens on the dance floor.

Summary
In the not-so-distant future, Death Eaters have retaken power in England and want to resurrect Lord Voldemort. Fifty-year-old Hermione Granger decides to take matters into her own hands and go back in time to adopt and raise Tom Riddle. She did her research. She has an evidence-backed plan.
She did not mean to bring Harry Potter along.
Forced to pretend to be married, they now find themselves raising a six-year-old future Dark Lord in the shadow of Gellert Grindelwald’s growing influence, and discovering that changing history is far messier than anticipated.
Expect a Spy Family-esque, crack-adjacent fic with fewer pink bubble-gum telepaths and more haunted Victorian orphan magical prodigies; Hermione leading an aggressively early crusade for Muggle education reform; and a fifty-year-old Dumbledore pining helplessly for a fifty-year-old time-travelling Master of Death Harry Evans.
Featuring Harry/Hermione “widower” romance, one-sided Dumbledore/Harry pining, and baby Tom Riddle being, generally speaking, a very good little menace.

Summary
Jason landed, hard.
He gasped in a breath and tried to shake free of the dizzying disorientation as he pushed himself up on shaking arms. The world swooped violently and he fell back down, jarring his chin on the rough ground. He closed his eyes against the nauseating swaying before he threw up.
He swallowed harshly, forced the rising bile back down, and took slow, deep breaths. Just like Slade had shown him. He could practically hear the man’s voice in his head, as gruff and impatient as always.
Orientate yourself, Jason. Find a weapon. Get somewhere defensible. Kill anyone in your way. Recon.
He nodded along to the remembered instructions and forced himself to stand. He stumbled drunkenly for his first few steps but he wouldn't let anything stop him. Not ever again. Definitely not some stupid fucking dizziness.
He staggered across the rough grain of the rooftop he had landed on. New York’s skyline stared at him across the East River.
How the fuck had he ended up in Brooklyn?
Fuck.
He had to find Slade — he, at least, would know what to do.
