    Summary

    “Hey, hey, what are you doing, man?” Alex started speaking before even taking his headphones out of his ears, short breath clipping his words. A hand, broad and tan, slammed down on the wooden counter possessively. “This is my ice cream stand.”

    The umbrella pole squeaked its offense when the stranger smacked against it, standing with sonic speed. His hands were clutching several different bottles of cream and an oversized box of sugar, and Alex could see mug after mug lined up under the back countertop.

    “I’m sorry— I asked the-the Mayor,” The man started speaking suddenly, jolting Alex’s attention to his eyes, brown and starry and wide. His hair, dyed a bright teal, tumbled into them and shook with his words. “He said th-that you only didn’t— didn’t use it last summer? And I meant to come over and ask and introduce myself first, but—”

    Without Alex even asking, his brain supplied commentary: Stuttering. Cute— Cute? Why cute?

    ———

    the new farmer opens a coffee shop. alex is his number one customer.

    Summary

    Finding a date to the Yule Ball shouldn't be this difficult for Harry - really, it shouldn't.

    Or; in which Harry Potter turns up to the Yule Ball with Draco Malfoy on his arm.

    Summary

    homebound
    [HOHM·bound] English
    (adj.) moving or traveling homeward

    Reyna told him that they had two homes. But in all honesty? Nico didn’t fully believe her. He's still the creepy Death Boy to most, and people continue to actively avoid him if possible. He doesn’t belong at Camp Half-Blood; everyone knows it. He’s giving it a shot anyway if only to find a place he can truly call home. But if there's anything he learned from those few years of grade school, it's that the word "home" is a noun: a person, place, or thing. And to his surprise, Nico will find that "home" is defined not by darkness, solitude, and cold, but by sunshine, company, and warmth.

    It's not a "where" or a "what", but a "who".

    ⚠️ Rated M for some content within the last few chapters. Otherwise, rest of the story is T.
