    Summary

    Hermione Granger is a firm believer in rules, logic, and knowing the right thing and doing it, no matter the cost. And if Hogwarts has taught her anything, it’s to expect the unexpected.
    But even by Hogwarts standards, fourth year brings a new kind of chaos.

    The Triwizard Tournament shatters the rhythm of school life that Hermione has come to rely on. Harry is thrust into danger, friendships begin to splinter, and she finds herself caught between loyalty, fear, and the slow, quiet ache of growing up.

    And then there’s Viktor Krum.
    Famous, silent, and unnervingly perceptive, he appears in the library like an interruption and stays like a question she can’t stop asking.
    What begins as skepticism softens into something far more dangerous: a quiet tether that pulls at everything she thought she knew about herself. Between the shadows of the Tournament, something fragile begins to take root, something that might reshape her world entirely, if only she lets it.

    ____________

    Or: Viktor showed up, spoke a few words, and politely ruined her life. Enemies to what, exactly? No one’s sure but the eye contact is getting out of hand.

    Lightly inspired by Taylor Swift’s “But Daddy I Love Him”

    Summary

    “I did not know…”

    “Well, you are very foolish, Colin,” Anthony says. “The rest of us were well aware. Penelope was never subtle with her longing looks.”

    “Do not tease her on this matter,” Colin thunders.

    In which Colin mourns the time he did not love Penelope in return.

    Summary

    In a world where the marriage ritual leaves a permanent mark on you, the word that reflects your match’s first impression of you appears in your skin.

    —•—

    Penelope had known since she was eight years old who she would marry. She had heard stories about him, how brave and noble he was, and spent her whole life in love with the boy in the picture.

    Something that had never crossed Penelope’s mind, however, was the possibility that Colin Bridgerton would be disappointed upon meeting her.

    “Speak now, Penelope, with clarity and conviction. What is the word, bestowed upon you by the gentleman ordained as your match, that defines you in his eyes?”

    The celebrant’s voice suddenly felt like a distant hum, her vision blurred by the tears welling up in her eyes. On her wrist, visible to anyone close enough to read it, was written her word with golden letters.
     

    Shallow.

    Summary

    Death was a strange thing, Sakura came to understand; an end, and yet somehow mystifyingly the start of something new. The price of that was steep, yet it was the start of her own odd adventure in a strange new world her ancestors once resided in.

    Summary

    Turning onto her side, Sakura curled up against Madara’s bare chest. Inhaling deeply, she held onto his scent. It brought to mind images of bonfires alighting the night in the deep, dark forests. The smell soothed her, made her feel at peace. Sighing with contentment, Sakura pressed her cheek against Madara’s chest and listened to the beating of her husband’s heart.

    A warm feeling pooled low within her belly. Husband. Her husband. Sakura thought it had been hard enough on her self control when they’d been unmarried and forced by society to remain chaste. Now though, that he was hers and she was his, it felt all but impossible to keep her hands off of him.
