    Summary

    There’s a knock at the door.
    It’s soft. Hesitant.
    James frowns, glancing up from the chessboard where Sirius is currently kicking his ass with alarming ease. “That’s weird. We expecting anyone?”
    Sirius shrugs, mouth full of biscuit. “It’s snowing. Who the fuck knocks in the middle of a snowstorm?”
    James sets the board aside and heads for the front door. It’s late — past midnight, definitely — and he’s halfway expecting one of the neighbors needing magical help again with their cursed fireplace.
    He swings the door open—
    And freezes.
    Regulus Black stands in the snow, drenched and shaking, a scarf barely clinging to his neck, his hair plastered to his forehead, pale lips trembling. His eyes — grey and beautiful, always beautiful — are wide and unsure.

    Or: James likes it when Regulus is mean. Regulus is really mean. It's Christmas and Regulus shows up at the Potters' doorstep. Presents and Hugs happen!! Overall a fluffy, lighthearted Christmas fic.

    Summary

    “I’m so, so sorry,” the man continued, wiping a bead of sweat from the side of his temple with the sleeve of his faded Blondie t-shirt. He wore ripped black jeans and black and white Chuck Taylors and had his own messy curls, just like the baby. “I had no idea Teddy would be such a handsy little fucker at these story times, but he’s always grabbing… fuck, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t say fuck in the children’s room. Shit, I did it again, I’m so sorry, I don’t know what the fuck is wrong with me.”
    ***
    After James and Lily died, Sirius Black's therapist told him not to date for a year. And that's just as well. He's got a 13-month-old baby now and quite enough to deal with, thanks. But the nosy neighbors in his building keep trying to set him up and won't take no for an answer. Enter Remus Lupin, another single dad who pretends to be Sirius's boyfriend, just to get the old lady brigade off his back and nothing more. Nothing more at all.

    Summary

    Hermione, now in her mid-20s, is back at Hogwarts to pursue higher education. Trying to forget the trauma carved into her by the war, she spends one lust-filled night with a certain pureblood. But that night will have consequences.
    While her personal life unravels, a string of mysterious murders forces her to work together with Draco Malfoy, who himself seems to carry many secrets.

    "He scared her. Not because he wielded killing curses like they were nothing, but because he seemed to understand her in a way that even she didn’t. The more she let him in, the more power he had to destroy her."

    Come for the smut, stay for the plot.

    Loved this!
    “and together they levitated the seeds and dropped them into the pot, covering them with dirt and water.

    “With the creation of your new life together, these seeds signify your commitment to nurture and grow your love with each day. Like these seeds, your marriage will need attention, love, and care to thrive. There will be seasons of cold, and seasons of warmth, and through it all you will always have each other.”
