Summary
"Are you going for the course?" Lovegood asked. "You have the NEWTs.”
“What course?” Draco said, then, “No, don’t be ridiculous,” when he realized she meant the notice pinned up on the board he’d been staring at: Applicants To The Introductory Mediwizard Course For The Coming Term Shall Present Themselves In The Chief Mediwizard’s Office By August 24th.
“Oh, I thought you might,” she said. “Well, goodbye.” And off she wandered again in her addled way.

Summary
Yes, Murderbot might dislike Dr. Gurathin (a dislike which is definitely, 100%, absolutely mutual). That doesn't mean it's about to let him go on a mission to sabotage his parents' mining company without backup.

your space station sucks and your vibes are awful by Avonya
Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells, The Locked Tomb Trilogy | Gideon the Ninth Series - Tamsyn Muir
21 Jun 2021
Tags
Summary
Because of a faulty language module, Murderbot ends up on Dominicus-9 instead of somewhere actually conducive to getting evidence against GrayCris. Fortunately it doesn’t actually have to spend that much time on the station, but while it’s there can it figure out why a station would have gravedirt? And what’s up with the person wearing human bones?
Actually, fuck that, no thank you.

Summary
A letter from Crown Prince Roald, stationed at the Scanran border, was delivered this morning. It is addressed solely to his mother, and she is reading it silently.
Jonathan narrows his eyes, setting down his pen. Thayet looks particularly mild. That is never, ever good. He clears his throat. “What news from Roald?” he asks lightly.
His lovely, blank, dangerous wife keeps reading. “News,” she says neutrally.
— Or, why Kel was never charged with treason. Set during Lady Knight.

Summary
"How long have we known each other?" Her voice felt rusty.
Raoul was sprawled next to her on the bed. He blinked at the ceiling and cracked his neck. "Twenty years?"
"Twenty years," Buri sighed. She felt like steam was rising off both of them. "We could have been doing this for twenty years."

Sometimes it takes a while to go from friends to lovers. But it helps if you can read each other's minds.

no place like home by dirgewithoutmusic for Elennare
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
10 Jul 2015
Tags
Summary
When Petunia Dursley refused to take Harry in she forfeited his birthright protection, so Dumbledore took the baby to the safest place he knew: Hogwarts.
The applicable staff (mostly just… not Snape) took Harry in on a rotating schedule as he grew from baby to toddler to child. They traded extra credit for babysitting among the older students, and Harry grew up knowing a few dozen different laps that were safe and warm to nap in.
This was a Harry who grew up among books, among old transient walls and learned professors. They gave Binns night duty sometimes, and let him talk young Harry to sleep. This was a Harry whose world changed, on principle, daily. The stairs moved. The walls became doors. You had to keep your eyes open–you had to pay attention. So he did.
He grew up in a school. Knowledge was power, but knowledge was also joy. This was his sanctuary. There was magic in his world from birth.
