Summary
Hobbies mold the soul, and Harry Potter is no exception to this.
Growing up fearing ridicule, he hides a love for sewing, knitting, and all things pertaining to fashion design — that is, until he discovers that his passion isn’t just a hobby, but an entire industry of magic he’s been (accidentally!) practicing for years. Pulled by tangled threads and fates, Harry is cast into unfamiliarity, from Runes, to friendships, to informal apprenticeships.
Harry will never wear a fate weaved by another designer — his future will be sewn by his own needle and thread.

Tailors hear a lot of shit when clients think they aren’t paying attention.

Summary
Because what began as an innocent crush on the quiet cursebreaker who so frequently consults on Harry's investigations has worn itself into the sort of bone-deep longing that makes itself known during those calm hours between middle of the night and first thing in the morning.
Those calm hours when Harry finds himself very much awake and very much thinking of Theodore Nott.
The smirk before he says something clever. The ink stains on his fingertips. The lilt of his brogue. The dimples.
Those fucking dimples.

Summary
“What was it like, to die?”
“Like falling asleep.”
Funny, that was how Theo would describe being in love with Harry Potter. Just out of reach but inevitable, given enough sleepless nights.
It's 8th year, and Harry and Theo fall in love.

Summary
Wizarding Chess & “There is strong shadow where there is much light.”
--He stands in a sun ray warbled by the dusty cathedral glass windows, haloed by inky hair and dust motes swimming in the light. His face is pale and wan, eyes smudged with purple bruises, but his stare is sharp and intent.
“Nott,” Potter says, warily. The caution is all Slytherin, though he should know better than to show it. Potter has good instincts, but they’ve quite clearly been blunted in Gryffindor. In Slytherin, they would be refined to a sharp edge.
Theo gestures in a lazy circle around the chessboard and the pieces fly back into marching position. “Care for a game?”
Potter squints. A cloud shifts over the sun and light flashes off his glasses, briefly obscuring his eyes. “I’m sure I’m no competition for you. But I suppose I have no reason to refuse.”
He pauses, then grins wryly, flourishing his own wand to rotate the chessboard, placing the white king on his side and leaving the black for Theo.
How droll.

Summary
When Theo finally manages to achieve his animagus form, he’s both surprised and not to find out that he’s a black cat - considered to be a lucky animal and omen in the wizarding world…
He finds himself enjoying the attention that comes with being something desirable for once, instead of the shunned son of a death eater. To feel touches that aren’t painful and have soft compliments sent his way… he savours it.
The gentlest hands, he finds, are none other than those of the Boy Saviour himself, who would rather cut his own hands off than abuse another.
