    Summary

    In the middle of their second year, Draco and Harry discover they're soulmates and do their best to keep it a secret from everyone.

    Their best isn't perfect.

    ~

    “Are you trying to get killed, Potter?” Malfoy drawls, stalking forward. Quick as a serpent himself, he reaches out and grabs the snake just below the head. It thrashes in his grip, but is no longer able to bite anyone. “This is a poisonous snake, and I doubt anyone brought a bezoar with them.”

    Harry glares. He opens his mouth, and feels the beginning the snake’s language pass his lips, and this isn’t what he wants, what’s the point of insulting Malfoy if he can’t understand him –

    Malfoy’s eyes widen. He slaps his hand over Harry’s mouth, “Potter, what the hell–”

    what even is there to say about this that so many other haven't said before. This is one of my all time favorites and a constant re-read. Everytime a notification for a new chapter pops up in my inbox it's like christmas morning.

    this work is a stunning look into Pepper’s psyche and explores her personality so beautifully. The Greek myth is utilized and told so wonderfully and earnestly. Pepper feels so entirely in character and her personality is explored so perfectly it almost hurts. Her flaws, her strengths, everything that makes her _her_ is gorgeously explored. Once again, Shana wrote words that tear at my heart in the best way possible. Do yourself a favor; Read it, then read it again.

    Summary

    At first Harry wonders if they’ve managed to destroy his vaults and are trying to tell him in the most oblique way possible. But when he turns the page he realises they’ve found a vault. A vault in the name of Lily and James Potter.

    The parchment trembles a little in Harry’s hand. He takes another gulp of wine.

    Harry Potter left Britain after the war and didn’t look back. Ten years later, when Gringotts discovers a vault containing his parents’ belongings—including their badly spell-damaged wedding rings—he’s forced to face up to friends and family who’ve grown in ways he could never imagine, a wizarding London rebuilt beyond his expectations, and the anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts. And if that wasn’t enough, there’s the entirely unforeseen problem of Draco Malfoy.

    Featuring pureblood wizarding traditions, ancestral magic, open mic nights, marriage equality, a diner in Brooklyn, and the return of Fleamont Potter.

    this is a beautiful work that explores Harry’s life post war in a world that’s both bleak and bright and brought to sudden halt, an ‘oh’ moment, when draco literally crashes back into his life. Full of picture perfect mutual pining and misunderstandings and wonderfully creative pure blood rites and cultural heritages infused with modern twists and muggle takes. Chock-full of emotion and feelings and _wanting_ in the best way possible.

    Summary

    Managing a normal family is hard, but managing an intergalactic family requires all the skills Pepper's learned through the years.

    Being with Tony is actually a great help in that. If she could manage the former head of Stark Industries turned Iron Man, she definitely can manage dinner between a pre-schooler, three university tweens, and a... former Luphomoid assassin.

    She's got this.

    aka. the extended Stark family is a hot mess but they're good the way they are.
