    Summary

    At 22, five months after the events at Godric’s Hollow, Severus Snape is defined by grief, twisted by guilt, and driven reckless by loneliness.

    When an ancient artifact tears open a world where Lily still lives, he is forced to confront the weight of his choices; those he made, and those he didn’t.

    There, he must face the ghosts of his past, the consequences of his actions, and the quiet, terrifying realization of what might have been… and something far more dangerous: hope.

    Summary

    It would be a very gentlemanly thing to do, she thinks, to offer his jacket to a lady, but for the fact that it’s a muggy midsummer evening and no extra layer of warmth is needed.

     

    He’s not being a gentleman, she decides, as she follows him down to the canal where he’s untying one of those funny little boats. He probably just doesn’t want to be seen taking a moonlit stroll with a whore.

     

    After being rescued from the nightmare of the Menagerie, Inej gets to know her new companion over contract negotiation.

Neither are willing to say anything about it.


    Tyler learns he has to keep his eyes on Kate, otherwise she just keeps running into tornados.

    Northern France, 1917. In a battlefield hospital, Corporal Kaz Rietveld lies gravely wounded. His nurse is determined that he will not be another thing she loses to this war.

    Summary

    “Best not to look too closely,” he said, noticing my inspection. “I usually don’t leave it out when we’ve got guests. Childish really. But useful when you want to leave a note for the other person or…”

    I pushed away a dirty mug. “Draw a massive cock,” I finished for him.

    He sighed and placed a sweating glass of cool clean water in my hand. “That one’s George’s. I mean not literally his. He drew it.”

    “Nice attention to detail.”

    “It’s the veins for me. Really makes it leap off the page.”

    “Like it could attack at any minute.”

    Modern Day AU. This is the start of The Problem in modern day London. Lucy Carlyle knows full well there's no such thing as ghosts even if her weird (and unfairly attractive) new employer and his fed-up housemate seem to be convinced otherwise. And even if she CAN (maybe) see dead people, what does he mean he wants to pay her to go look for them?
