Composure, Compromise & Crushing Defeat by al_holland for Aerie_Skysinger
Fandoms: Naruto (Anime & Manga)

Summary
She didn’t know what was right anymore. She had alpha friends, shinobi friends, shinobi friends who happened to be alphas, but all of those relationships existed in the daylight. Out in the open, with spectators and other people entwined in their lives.
She and Kakashi were just that. Just Sakura, and just Kakashi. Maybe that’s why it hadn’t ever really bothered her that he always knew she was an omega. She never worried about what she was or what he was.
But now, it was staring her in the face, and she wasn’t sure she could ignore it any longer.

Summary
Draco and Ginny cook together, twice a week. Is has become a surprising tradition that neither of them could have imagined a decade earlier. Well, it is not just cooking. That word doesn’t do it justice. For Draco cooking is technical, mechanical even. It is a scientific act borne of necessity. It is a symptom for his journey as a changed man. For Ginny cooking is to create passion, it is a dance, sometimes a temperamental one, like a tango. Sometimes it is something that just flows naturally, improvised by what the world throws at her.
But for both of them it is also foreplay. There is sauce being sucked from fingertips, kneading the dough with those long, slender fingers, grabbing the whisk with both hands while whipping cream, licking mousse from the corner of the mouth, pushing fingers into oranges only to break them apart and see the juices running down pale freckled skin.
It never leads anywhere, both dancing around old reservations, new worries and general insecurities. This night the stew of their repressed feelings and their bottled-up sexual tension reaches a boiling point.- Language:

Summary
Written for the 2024 Draco/Ginny Summer Fic Fest.
28 year old Ginny Weasley feels out of place. She’s divorced, a single mother to a headstrong 5 year old, and stuck in a dead-end, low-level job at the Daily Prophet after a too-short Quidditch career. Every day is a scramble- she’s barely keeping up. So when the Ministry of Magic demands that all purebloods enroll in mandatory Muggle studies classes to eliminate prejudices, can anyone really blame her for being a little pissed off?
Ginny cooking in a Muggle kitchen is out of place. Ginny cooking in a Muggle kitchen with Draco Malfoy as her class partner is very out of place. Can they put their past aside long enough to work together and bake the perfect chocolate soufflé, or is their partnership as fragile as their dessert?
Winner of: Best One-Shot Overall, Best Portrayal of Draco, Best Portrayal of Ginny, Best Smut

Summary
He kept leaving her gifts. Not jewelry or chocolates or roses, but perps. Drug dealers and petty thieves and carjackers, rapists and stalkers and peeping toms, practically fucking gift-wrapped. It had to be him, because nobody else could make these guys so afraid that they’d walk themselves into her police station and confess just to save their own necks.
Caroline just… didn’t know what to do with that.
(AKA, Caroline is the sheriff in Mystic Falls. Klaus is possibly a serial killer, definitely some kind of mob boss, and kind of horribly, inconveniently hot.)
