Summary
The summer after Willow almost ended the world has been slow and uneventful, so Buffy gets herself some plants and attempts to keep something alive for a change. She forgets to water the plants, but they thrive in spite of her clearly-not-green thumb. It may be related to a certain vampire's return to Sunnydale.
Also, where have all the demons gone?

Summary
Traditions and order are important to Draco Malfoy. Every Samhain, for the past sixteen years, he has visited his father in Azkaban, reluctantly keeping a promise to his mother. For the past six years, Draco has walked by the cell of the most renowed prisoner of Azkaban, and watched in silence as the light goes out from his green eyes. Every year, the man says nothing, and Draco doesn't think about it for another year.
But today, things are different. Today, Harry Potter, convicted murderer, grabs onto his cloak and doesn't let go.
"You owe me a life," Potter says.
And Draco's world is turned upside down.

Summary
Teddy has been misbehaving at Hogwarts during his final year, so Andromeda decides he should spend Christmas Break with Harry. Teddy is not quite on board with the arrangement, and he finds Harry an easy target for mischief when he notices Harry pining for the ever-oblivious Hermione.
Snow and mistletoe and some of the worst matchmaking known to wizardkind? It may be a recipe for disaster. But if there's one thing that Harry is good at, is finding the right ingredients.
Isn't it, after all, the most wonderful time of the year?

It will be up to him and Hermione to figure out where his mind went, what it means, and how it relates to a repentant Draco Malfoy. Shared dreams, teens on the run and dubious wandmaker interference. Post-War, but is war ever really over? (Let's pretend the epilogue never happened, but Draco did toss a wand at Harry during the final battle).
All will be revealed, and Harry will often be confused.

Summary
After a viral photo outs Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov while they're still busy pretending their years-long situationship is mostly just sex, the fallout gets complicated fast. The world reacts badly. Their teams react worse. Ilya's future in North America starts to look alarmingly fragile, and Shane, who has never met a disaster he didn't try to control into submission, throws himself into fixing what can still be fixed.
Ilya has spent his whole life being wanted for the wrong reasons and discarded for the right ones. Shane has spent his whole life believing that if he is careful enough, good enough, controlled enough, he can keep disaster from reaching the people he loves.
A practical solution emerges, then a house, then rings.
Somehow, by the time they say their vows, both of them are certain they are the only one who means them.

Summary
TL;DR: It's like Friends meets Almost Famous with HR incidents and better oatmeal continuity.
Shane Hollander is a freelance concert photographer with a day job at a camera shop, a bank account in active distress, and a long-standing professional fixation on Ilya Rozanov, front man of the Russian rock band Rozanov. Professional. Definitely professional.
For years, Shane has shot Ilya from the pit: first three songs, no flash, get the shot, get out. Then Rozanov’s lead guitarist gets arrested at the border, the tour starts rearranging itself around disaster, and Shane finds himself getting closer to the machine than any photographer is supposed to get.
A photo pass becomes a backstage pass. A backstage pass becomes a job. Access becomes proximity.
And proximity, unfortunately, has consequences.

Summary
“Game is over,” he says. “You won. I lost. I was annoying. Normal.”
“That’s not—” Shane starts, then stops, because he actually doesn't know how to finish that thought without sounding like an idiot. His jaw works, teeth grinding together.
That's not what I meant. That's not the point. You said I was boring and you were right and I need you to say it again so I know where I stand, so I know what you think of me, so I can stop waiting for the other shoe to drop.
He settles for: “You were kind of an asshole.”
