Summary
It’s Regulus’ sixth year. His sixth year and everything and nothing has changed. Regulus is a Death Eater. Sirius keeps trying to duel him. James is Head Boy. Evan and Barty are in love. And Kingsley Shaklebolt is nobody. Nothing. Worse than that, a Hufflepuff.
It’s Kingsley’s sixth year. His sixth year and he’s planning on spending this one like he’s spent all the others. Work hard, stay focused; no distractions. Especially not distractions that are dark wizards. Not even if those dark wizards have the longest eyelashes that Kingsley has ever seen.
-------------------------------------
“I don’t know who you think you are, Regulus Black. You can’t hex me just because I won’t kiss you.”
“I wasn’t going to...it wasn’t...like that.” Regulus chokes out indignantly, feeling his face get hot.
Kingsley is still smiling, but his tone is a little more serious as he says, “And you can’t kiss me just to get over someone else, for the record. I’m not that nice of a guy.”
Regulus manages a stern glare at him. “Yes, you are. Let's not pretend you don’t love being the good guy. Shaklebolt the hero.”
Kingsley laughs again, “Alright. But I’m not that nice of a guy...to you.”

Summary
Viscount Gwaine de Hautdesert, future Earl of Orkney, has made a reputation for himself in London as a drinker, a reveler, and...well, a rake. But he does have some principles. First and foremost, he doesn’t lead astray wide-eyed debutantes.
Lady Merlin Emrys is not a debutante. She hadn’t even known she was nobility until one year and six weeks ago. That was when a lawyer appeared at her and her mother’s doorstep and informed Merlin that: 1) Her father and mother had been legally married, 2) her father was dead, and 3) Merlin was now the Baroness Dynevor.
Merlin is not a debutante, but she is pretending that she wants to find a husband. She's looking for someone...she just isn’t sure who. The dragon hadn’t given her a lot of details. Bloody dragons.
In which Merlin tries to find the Once and Future King without knowing who it is and Gwaine tries not to seduce the girl he likes but ends up getting seduced instead.

Summary
“I feel like I know you.” Gwaine breathes into Merlin’s ear as he moves in and out of her.
“You do.” Merlin tells him, with her arms wrapped around the back of his neck. Like she wants to be closer to him, even as he covers her body completely.

Summary
It was supposed to be just an ordinary mission. Recon – that's all. Voldemort himself wasn’t supposed to be there. And he wasn’t supposed to know that Sirius knew where the Potters were hiding. But Sirius came dangerously close to being captured. So, Dumbledore was putting his foot down and sending Sirius to a safe house...with only the Order’s elusive werewolf liaison for company. Sirius has never met Remus Lupin before. Months locked away with a lycanthrope isn’t what Sirius would call an ideal situation. But he’ll do it for James and Lily.
AU where Remus never went to Hogwarts. Set after the Potters go into hiding but before they use the Fidelius charm.

Summary
"How does it feel to be back?" Sirius grins at him in that way that makes Remus's heart clench like he's fifteen again and Sirius just said...what was it again? Oh yes, "Give me my sin again." God, how badly he'd wanted to be one of Sirius's sins back then.
"Remus." a voice interrupts softly. Remus almost jumps. Because all this time he'd been bracing himself to see Sirius and it hadn't occurred to him how wrong it would feel to hear Regulus call his name here.
Sirius, as hard as it is to see him, belongs here. Surrounded by people who adore him and let him shine as brightly as he wishes.Remus turns to look at Regulus and it's all wrong. Because Regulus belongs in Paris, smoking cigarettes and reading french philosophy and glowing softly.
Remus should never have come back. Not to face two ghosts at once.
Inspired by Sabrina (1954) and Normal People by Sally Rooney

Summary
The war is over, but Ophelia Potter is (not) fine, despite what she says.
Traumatized, exhausted, and finally free from the Dark Lord who defined her life, she is barely holding herself together when a cleaning spell triggers a goblin missive. Hidden in the Potter vaults is a binding marriage contract with the House of Nott—old, legal, and extremely inconvenient.
What should have been a relic of pureblood politics becomes an unexpected lifeline.
Or: the ancestors forgot to read the fine print, Theodore Nott is silently and hopelessly obsessed, the Slytherins are a found family with opinions, Blaise Zabini owns an Italian restaurant, Hermione Granger has lost all patience, Molly Weasley’s jumpers are acts of love, and Narcissa Malfoy sips her tea while casually suggesting grandchildren.

Summary
Remus Lupin likes the safety of the routine life he built for himself. He likes his job, he likes his little apartment with the plants he can never manage to keep alive, and he likes grading his papers at the local hipster-esque coffee shop down the street where he can blend into the crowd and surreptitiously steal glances at the unfairly attractive baker.
Except one morning, there's no crowd to blend into when he's caught snickering at the web of well-meaning lies the other man walks face first into.
(I'm super bad at summaries. It's a fake dating modern AU where Sirius has been telling Mrs. Potter he's dating someone for 9 months and she demands his "boyfriend" comes on their family vacation. Queue: shenanigans between wolfstar and jily as they lie their asses off.)

Summary
You see, it is all very sudden and unexpected. When they parted ways after fifth year, Moony was just good old Moony. Soft, warm, a little tattered around the edges; smelling of old books, chocolate, and a light wolfish undertone that Sirius has only been able to pick up on since Padfoot came around. Moony with his comfy, oversized jumpers, his cardigans, of all things (really, what teenage boy wears cardigans?), his common sense, dry wit, and secret wicked humour.
But when they come back for sixth year, Moony is hot. -

Summary
When his attractive new neighbor asks him to pose for some paintings, Remus Lupin reluctantly agrees—but he doesn’t expect to find truth, trust, confidence, and maybe even love in the middle of it all.
