    Summary

    There’s this moment just before. When your chair tips, or you miss the last step of the stairs. Your stomach twisting, pupils dilating, hands coming out to catch yourself. A moment in which time seems to slow down, when you look down at the ground and you realize you’re helpless to stop it. No matter what you do, no matter how hard you’ll fight it, gravity will win. And you want to fight it, oh, yes, you do, but even the most stubborn people in the world have to admit at some point that they’ve lost this time. There’s nothing to do but accept it. To stop the fight and brace yourself instead.

    Slowly, and then all at once, time rushes back.

    And you fall.

     

    Alternatively titled: Regulus Black and the mortifying ordeal of falling in love.

    Summary

    For the past 2000 years, Judas Iscariot has been wandering the earth, cursed with immortality after he caused the death of the Son of God. He lives in a rundown apartment, his main mode of transportation is a rusty bike, and he works at a drive-thru coffee stand that is definitely doing illegal business.

    But all this comes to a head when Jesus reappears, and wants nothing more than to gather his friend, his beloved, in his arms and ride off into the sunset, regardless of Judas’ fears.

    Can Judas withstand the sun that is the Lion of God? Or will he stay in the dark side of the moon for all eternity?

    Summary

    Remus has always believed that December is the Hall's very best month. It's like the place was built to have boughs of holly and fir strung from every wall sconce and picture rail; like its architect, all those hundreds of years ago, designed it specifically to bear the big, fat garlands he and Lily wind around its balustrades and bannisters, and the jolly wreaths that they hoist into place on every door, and the towering, beribboned tree that stands proudly in the hotel reception and takes four of them a whole afternoon to decorate.

    A country hotel in the wintertime. Plenty of snow, plenty of mulled wine, and a feeling that this Christmas might be different.

    Summary

    They didn't make much sense, even then. Not like Sirius and Remus: not like the bright star that Sirius always played to Remus's sombre moon, inevitable and necessary and right. James was too much of everything: too bold, too confident. Too tall and too handsome and too filled with a sort of carefree, effortless magnetism that Peter could never hope to emulate and could only linger trustingly at the edges of, waiting to be pulled into its orbit, and it always felt like some small cosmic miracle when he was.
