Summary
Rook, formerly and sometimes even now known as Zea Ingellvar, was a foundling and grew up in the Necropolis with friends both living and dead. Her middle fingers get a strenuous workout every time she’s forced to talk to Solas and she hates the thought of ever disappointing anyone.
Lucanis Dellamorte was betrayed, captured, and turned into an abomination. His body is out of the Ossuary, but Spite is still with him and he wonders if he’s actually free of the prison’s grip. He avoids sleep like it’s personally offended him and is an incredible cook.
Professor Emmrich Volkarin speaks with the dead almost more often than the living. He teaches, studies, and approaches every experience with curiosity and empathy. He has been to therapy and loves his skeleton son.
Julia brews poisons and perfumes for the Crows and the elite of Treviso. She stays out of sight for a reason and usually enjoys a quiet life. She spends more time with her “invisible” friends than breathing ones and will mouth off to just about anyone, given the opportunity.
—------
Lots of spoilers for Lucanis’s and Emmrich’s quests.
There is NSFW smut and it is clearly labeled.

Summary
Severus Snape survived the war. He’s not thrilled about it.
Life after Voldemort was supposed to be quiet, preferably nonexistent, and certainly not filled with other people’s problems. Instead, Severus finds himself in a most unfortunate predicament—saddled with an unwanted role as a healer for someone who, much like himself, would rather not be here at all.
His patient is fragile, infuriatingly difficult to keep alive, and far too comfortable with her own mortality. And yet, against all logic, she’s also someone he doesn’t entirely hate. Which is concerning. Very concerning.
Trapped in a house where the furniture has too much personality, the house-elves are far too enthusiastic, and the family is distressingly nosy, Severus must endure the absolute worst fate imaginable—human connection. And if that wasn’t enough, it turns out that fate has cursed him with something even more insufferable: a very long, painful (frozen) slow-burn.
Sarcasm is exchanged like currency, reluctant care turns into something neither of them dare name, and Severus is faced with the most horrifying realization of all—perhaps life isn’t quite done with him yet.

Summary
Six years after the fall of Voldemort, the Ministry of Magic introduce a new statute in an attempt to counter the falling birthrate. Unmarried witches and wizards are given six months to find a spouse, or one will be chosen for them.
Hermione’s happily settled into her life as a single witch: her work and her friends keep her busy enough. Arthur’s had six years to get used to being on his own, but when they’re matched by the new law, they’re going to have to overcome their differences and their previous relationship and learn to live with (and maybe even love?) each other.
Currently updating on Tuesdays, but hoping to squeeze in a bonus extra chapter in here and there.
