    Summary

    For days after the hoisting, they worked with trembling fingers. Rations were stopped for seventy-two hours as a mass penance; at night, they gathered in sleepless packs at the throne room, pleading for absolution with parched, bleeding tongues.

    Summary

    A hideously mauled corpse is found sprawled across the paving stones of Brick Lane in the East End of London. Inspector Harry Potter--widely believed to be the lead candidate for next Deputy Head Auror--is called in to investigate a possible magical crime. To make matters worse, his occasional lover and former school-nemesis, Viscount Draco Malfoy, now billing himself as a consulting criminologist, shows up at the crime scene to aid in the investigation of the suspicious death.

    Neither man will go away from the case unchanged, but will their combined forces be enough to fight the tide of danger that is sweeping London in the summer of 1910? And if they plumb the depths of the case, what bones of the past will they uncover?

    Summary

    In a universe where the Ministry of Magic controls more about you, than you control about yourself. The Ministry of Magic assigns you a spouse and you're stuck with them whether you like it or not.
    Sirius Black openly hated Severus Snape and was not shy about the fact that he loved his best friend. When Sirius Black is presented with a marriage summons he cannot ignore, he finds out the true definition of sleeping with the enemy.

     

    “can seven years of good memories make up for the seven years of bad ones?” “We didn’t get married because we wanted to,” Snape says, “We got married because we had to,” Snape says. “You can have your boy apologize to my son,” Snape says firmly. Sirius watches Snape for a moment, trying not to grin, as he figures out what Snape was really saying, “Tell me,” Sirius says, sitting down on Snape’s lap. “I know,” Snape says looking back at Sirius, “but your side is outnumbered.” Leaving the thin wizard on the ground unmasked, bleeding. “I would die for our child, if it came down to it,” Snape says firmly. There was no way in hell that Sirius had just admitted to giving him a love potion.
