    Summary

    “You had the wealth of the world in your hands, Weasley. You had a diamond. And you dropped her because she was too heavy.”

    Ron Weasley wants a fresh start. He wants the fame, the fun, and a girlfriend who isn't "boring" or "broken." He leaves Hermione behind to chase the light, unaware that he has just pushed her into the dark.

    Shattered and starving for control, Hermione proposes a no-strings arrangement to the last person Ron would expect: Draco Malfoy. But when a desperate ritual binds their magical cores together, an ancient magic awakens - a bond neither of them asked for, a darkness neither of them can control alone.

    It was supposed to be revenge sex. It was never supposed to become this.

    Summary

    Mourning the death of his best friend Ron, Harry Potter has closed himself off from everyone, including Hermione Granger—once Gryffindor’s Golden Girl, who’s now found herself resorted into Slytherin upon her return for her eighth year at Hogwarts. All the while Hermione is harboring a terrible secret, and in the midst of her despair, only Draco Malfoy notices the ghosts in her eyes—after all, they’re not so different from his.

    Mind the tags. The sexual assault is not between Draco and Hermione.

    Summary

    “Arthur, you have like five fan clubs. You were named sexiest man alive two years in a row. You are an action film star, who also does romcoms. You were John Constantine in that Justice League film, a part if you remember, that was supposed to be a minor role but you were so brilliant, they made a spin-off movie about you! You’re one of the hottest names in the industry, of course, they are going to make a big deal about this.”

    “So, you think I’m hot?” Arthur teased with a smirk.

    Merlin groaned and pushed him away. “You are literally the worst.”
    -
    Arthur is a famous actor and finds out the world thinks he's straight despite being in a serious relationship with a man for ten years.

    Summary

    "You're not..." Arthur paused, lips turning dry all of a sudden. Merlin looked at him in confusion. "...you're not that useless after all."
    "I thought that's been established for a while now, Arthur," replied Merlin with an easy smile.
    "Wait, no, that's not the words I meant," the king grumbled to himself, feeling helpless and frustrated with himself at once.

    Arthur is not good with romantic and gentle words.
    But Merlin understands.

    OR,
    In which some people of Camelot still have an unhealthy fear of magic (f*ck you Uther) and consequently, Merlin throwing around thunderbolts is not too appreciated, and an emotionally-constipated Arthur is struggling(TM) to help his consort.

    Just Merthur's married couple stuff.
