    Summary

    A process is recursive when it defines or contains itself; e.g., the Fibonacci sequence, which determines the next number as the sum of the previous two.

    But not all recursive processes are mathematical. Recursion can happen in a temporal context when, for instance, the powerful magical force that is true love drags you back in time so it can create itself, endangering the fate of the Wizarding World—not to mention the very fabric of space and time—along the way.

    Summary

    Stiles stared at Derek without breathing.

    At the tiny droplets of crimson hidden in his beard, at his gentle but intense eyes, at his mouth smeared with blood. He felt the taste of it on his tongue.

    Derek held his promise.

    He would always hold it. There was nothing Stiles could do or say to stop him. This was it. Stiles married him, mated with him for the rest of his life. Derek killed and he would undoubtedly kill again.

    Summary

    The sight of a small figure gently stroking Harry’s hair had him freezing in his tracks. His wand was out at once.
    “Stop!” He barked, fear making his voice tight; enormous, watery blue eyes turned to peer at him, and he lowered his wand a little. A shuddering breath escaped him. He swallowed, “Hello, Dobby.”
    “Hello, Draco Malfoy,” Dobby said mournfully, turning to look back at Harry and stroke his hair, “We is needing to get Harry Potter into a proper bed.”

    It had been a mistake, but it was easily the worst one of Draco’s life. He might never be able to atone for it, but trying to started with this: keeping an unconscious Harry safe and protected from the outside world at Spinners End. Snape had warned him that after what had happened, Harry might never wake, and that if he did, he wouldn’t be the same. It didn’t matter to Draco though. He would stay till the end, no matter what that end might be.

    Summary

    After a long, bloody war, Draco Malfoy just wants to do something good with his life for a change, and resolves to become a healer. But magical society refuses to make it easy for him, and an increasingly dramatic series of events—all of them instigated by Harry Potter—get him kicked out of med school, force him to live in exile, and threaten to destroy the new life he’s trying so desperately to build.

    But Harry isn’t instigating anything—at least not on purpose. He’s just trying to work up the nerve to ask him out. His efforts don’t appear to be going great.

    Because of course he is.

    Peter thinks the entire thing is hilarious.

    Cora thinks that they deserve each other.

    (spoiler alert: they do)

    Summary

    "I still see your paintings around," Martín offers, aiming for casual observation but landing somewhere between desperate to talk and revealing too much, "Whether I want to or not. Seems like it's all," he makes a vague gesture to try and capture it, "working out for you."

    "Thank you," Andrés says, but he doesn't sound like he particularly means it. Maybe Martín's opinions no longer matter to him.

    Summary

    "You said he should marry, so that he can stay in the country. Hence, you're looking at his husband." Andrés motions at himself. "Isn't that lovely?"

    Trust Andrés to do something exactly like this. To take an innocent throwaway line and wrestle it into his new life plan. To make Sergio an accessory to his crime, and claim that he'd once endorsed this.

    “You cannot just–”

    “Turns out I can,” Andrés says, and for a moment, something dangerous flashes in his gaze, “And I did.”

    // In which Sergio accidentally convinces Andrés to marry his best friend, and isn't prepared to having to deal with that.

    Summary

    Two and a half years after being Bitten, things are finally starting to settle enough that Alpha Scott McCall can start looking beyond his nearest neighbors and repentant enemies for alliances. Naturally, he starts with the Hale Pack; everyone in his Pack is from Beacon Hills (or has at least lived there for a while). They all miss their families, even if they honestly haven't had time to visit since everything started. For that, they need permission, and it would really be simpler for everyone if they didn't have to formally ask every time they wanted to spend the weekend in good old BH. Plus, there was the thing with Stiles.

    Everything gets a bit more complicated when Alpha Hale suggests she might be interested in one of the more old-fashioned alliances.

    Stiles has never been one to let an opportunity pass him by.

    (This started life as "Okay, but what if Stiles volunteered to be married off" and went from there. It's two parts exposition, one part fluff, and one part me trying to avoid writing any politics in my Political Marriage!AU)

    "We don't need to get along," Andrés said, "You of all people should know, that has nothing to do with this. I don't trust you as far as I could throw you–"

    "I hate you."

    "–but that doesn't mean we couldn't have a great fuck. Tell me you're not interested."

    Summary

    Daniel caught Max hiding behind the corner of the hallway that led to the restrooms, waiting for Charles to leave before he re-emerged. Daniel waved him over, and he stopped next to Daniel with his eyebrows raised.

    “I can see why you liked him. He’s very handsome.”

    “Daniel.”

    “And very well-built.”

    “Please,” Max groaned.

    “I’m just joking,” Daniel laughed. “Okay, half-joking. He is handsome.”

    Max rolled his eyes. “Fine, we can joke about it.”

    “I can do anything I want today.”

    Credit to Max, he did let Daniel do anything he wanted that night, and Daniel might have loved many people in his life, but truly none of them had been like Max.

    Summary

    “What are you doing?” Charles asked, his voice cracking.

    Max blinked at him once before he smirked and said, “Well... I was going to kiss you.”

    “Why?”

    “Because I want to.”

    “Why?” Charles repeated, feeling like his legs were going to give out.

    “Is that not a good enough reason?” Max asked.

    “How? Lando’s too freaked out to think straight and Oscar is the human embodiment of the standing man emoji.”

    Charles purses his lips for a moment before he snatches his boyfriend’s phone up from the other side of the table.

    “What are you doing?”

    “Initiating Mission Landoscar.”

    Summary

    “I’m not so drunk that I don’t know what I’m asking you,” Max said.

    Charles swallowed the lump in his throat. “Me either.”

    “So, is that a yes?”

    “Are you sure about this?” Charles asked instead, laughing unbelievably and shaking his head. “This is not something we do, mate.”

    “It could be something we do,” Max said, grinning at him. His fingers flexed on Charles’ hip, and it did something weird to Charles’ brain. When he looked back on this moment later, he would blame Max’s big hand on his hip for what he did next.

    Because for some reason... Charles kissed him.

    He wasn’t sure why.

    OR: the self-indulgent story of how Charles and Max fell in love over winter break 2022, in a classic Enemies to Friends With Benefits to Lovers fic that nobody asked for.

    Summary

    "Why did you ask me to fake date you?" Martín asked after pulling back, stirring his coffee with a fork, "I mean, why me, specifically?" It was highly possible that this question had been rattling around in his mind while he brewed the coffee, poured it, stirred it. Perhaps it had matured over the course of multiple coffees, because he seemed to place a great deal of importance on it.

    In which Andrés needs a fake relationship for the summer break to show everyone he's over his ex-fiancée. Why that should be Martín - well that's just obvious, isn't it?
