Summary
Harry isn’t the Boy-Who-Lived, and he committed a major mistake in the past that cost him several of his friends, but he can still help with fighting the Carrows during his seventh year. At least, until Alecto Carrow casts an experimental spell on him that ends up flinging him fifty years into the past. Harry makes himself at home in the past, unaware of the real identity of the handsome Slytherin, Tom Riddle, who seems oddly attracted to him.

Summary
“I’m not sure I can trust you,” said Ultra Magnus, relishing the way Optimus’s faceplate flushed with humiliation. “You’ll have a guard for those two weeks, and you will stay here, in Fortress Maximus, to ensure you don’t try anything creative.” He stepped closer, hating the way Optimus held his ground. “By the way, Optimus—you will succeed in charming Megatron. He was entirely correct when he said the Decepticons have the Allspark. This treaty must succeed.” He leaned forward. “Or I will know exactly at whose stabilizers the blame lies.”
Optimus finds himself betrothed to Megatron, and Megatron a surprisingly courteous suitor. But the Decepticons are afraid of something, a looming threat on the edge of known space...
...and Decepticon machinations may be the least of Optimus's worries.

Summary
Velle (Latin): to want.
“It was the act of bodily union that achieved marriage, and after which the indissoluble bond was complete.” -J.R.R. Tolkien, “Laws and Customs Among the Eldar”
For the whole year they have been living and working in Minas Tirith, Legolas and Gimli have postponed their marriage – planning to wait on even their elven wedding until the conditions are right for the dwarven ceremony as well. But on the eve of their parting to Ithilien and Aglarond, faced with the prospect of an indefinite separation, they decide they can wait no longer. They want to be wed now, so they can part as true husbands – and so they can finally satisfy long-deferred desires.
To both of their distress – and the great amusement of Legolas’s companions – they are soon to learn that some desires are not so easily deferred . . . and that the formation of the marital bond is only the beginning.

Summary
Dwarves do not always know when they have found their one mate—so if they separate without realizing it, their bodies have a quick-acting and unpleasant way of alerting them: the amral barzûlegûr, or lovesickness. No one knows what effect such an illness might have on another race—in all the known history of dwarves, such a thing has never happened before. Until now.
When Legolas and Gimli each fall inexplicably ill after parting to return to their homes, their families must find out what’s wrong—and must reunite them before it’s too late.

Summary
'Surely if ever there was a time to tell Gimli it was then, flush with an impossible victory.
Except he had said nothing, for there was ever more to do and never time, never time to pull Gimli aside and taste the mouth hidden beneath the fall of his moustache, to fit his slim, Eleven hands into ones coarse with callouses from the handle of an axe, to tell Gimli that every song Legolas sang, every smile and laugh and every step forward he had taken since their path darkened was bolstered only by Gimli at his side, to speak to him of Elvish courting rituals and run his fingers through Gimli’s russet hair and ask if he would allow Legolas to twist an Elvish braid in it, something to mark to all the world, even if only his Elven eyes would understand, that Gimli was tied to him.
To ask Gimli to teach him all the impossible ways their bodies might fit together.'
The night before the Battle of the Black Gate, and several days after.
