Summary
As usual summer before third year is really hard…
After an unfortunate incident with Aunt Marge, Harry finds himself staying with Snape and his live-in boyfriend of 12 years.
Only, Snape is just as awful as ever and his boyfriend is really cool and nice and makes Harry feel important… but as time goes on, it’s clear that all is not as it seems. Because Snape is actually… well, he’s not a decent guy, but he does care about protecting children from abuse, apparently.
But his boyfriend… It turns out that not all guys who seem good end up being good in the end. As he watches his professor’s relationship dissolve he can’t help feeling like an awful person for being an active participant in it.
It never once crosses his mind that Harry was being groomed and abused in a grossly different way than he was used to.
OR
Not only do old secrets get revealed, but Professor Snape’s boyfriend takes advantage of Harry while he’s staying there for the summer leading to shifts in perspective and possibly… healing?

Summary
The silence is unnerving.
After 11 years in Statesville, the Omega Correctional Center , he is used to noise, screams, and whimpers.
The state punished omegas that did not fit the mold, and Mickey was one of their toughest.
But 11 years of lockdowns, beatings, and sadistic guards bent him but did not break him.
He jumped at the state's offer.
Now, maybe, he was serving life in a new prison.
Now he was on a remote island estate.
Staring at tally marks in red clay, maybe blood, on the wall.
No longer an Omega convict.
Now, the Alphas keeper.Bookmarked by WhyAreTheyLikeThis

Summary
Ian always thought betas had something over him. They can choose freely, can love whomever they want, regardless of race or gender. They don't have to maintain a bloodline or adhere to societal norms.
But when this omega, this male omega, crosses his path, everything he thought he believed turns upside down.
But it's a difficult path for both of them, navigating trauma and expectations, to find love, to heal, to recover, and to become a family.- Words:

Summary
Heartstopper Soulmate AU where any mark you make on your skin shows up on your soulmate's. A long time ago everyone had a soulmate throughout time that changed and at present they are so rare that most people think they are legends and made up fairytales. Nick certainly never believed in soulmates but he also has no explanation for the random words and marks that appear on his skin from time to time. He doesn't worry though, because they're harmless, so there's no use thinking about them. The story follows Nick as he figures out what a soulmate actually is and dealing with all the ups and downs that are associated with it. Along the way he finds guidance from both his mother and surprisingly his art teacher Mr. Ajayi.

Summary
At 28, Nick Nelson is living a life that should make him happy: he's got a good job, solid mates, and an on-again-off-again girlfriend he's known since secondary school. But for years, maybe as long as he can remember, he's felt like something was missing. Worse, he can't shake the nagging fear that he's the problem, that something might be wrong with him.
Charlie Spring is only 27, but he's already divorced, burnt out halfway through his masters degree, and his mental health is held together by twine and prayers. The only thing that gets him out of bed most days (other than his menagerie of pets) is his work as a wildlife rehabber at the Haven. Saving those animals is his focus in life now; he can't be bothered to worry about saving himself. And after what he endured at the hands of his ex-husband Ben, he's sworn off love for good.
...Then Nick finds an injured duckling.
