Summary
***
The war is over.
For Draco Malfoy that means a fresh start at Durmstrang: an unplottable fortress high up in the mountains, isolated from the world and a thousand miles from all he hated at Hogwarts. A place where the Dark Mark remains a badge of honor. Where Unforgivables are practiced openly. Where Mudbloods have never been admitted.
At least until Hermione goes and ruins everything.
***
Or: A Durmstrang spin on an eighth year story feat. toxic Draco, dark Hermione, and the entire gang of snakes.

Summary
"I know what a breakup looks like," Daniel says. "The better question is, why are you coming to me about it? I'm the one who broke up your little sham."
"This is what humans do, don't they?" Armand asks, letting his voice drop. "Crashing on their friends' couches when there's a blip in their romances?"
"Except we're not friends. We're actually very much not friends." Daniel shrugs, as if it's all the same to him. "And I can't imagine the great vampire Armand deigning himself to sleep on my fucked-up sofa. That thing's been here since the nineties."
"Well," Armand only says. "I saw you have a guest bedroom."

Summary
It seems that near enough every day, a new tale comes whispered of Lucerys Velaryon.
They say that he drowned beneath the waters of Shipbreaker Bay, that what arose from the waves was only the shade of the boy that fell from dragonback.
They say that he struck a bargain with the Stranger or worse god yet to live again, that any life reaped by him and his dragon forms some terrible payment to cheat death over and over.
They say that his dragon is no child of Valyria at all, but a demon from the seven hells, one that sees human and dragon alike only as carrion for the feed.
Aemond scorns each and every story for the absurdities that they are. Luke is as he always has been - a greedy, grasping bastard, bent on his ruin. No ghost, god or dragon could alter that.

Summary
Kinslayer, they name him now. One-eye. Lucerys Velaryon has marked him twice over. Aemond has stolen Driftmark's heir, Rhaenyra and the Rogue Prince's beloved son. His mother and sister will not look at him. Even in death, Aemond will not be free of the boy.
And Lucerys? Lucerys falls, and lives, and remembers everything. He has lost his dragon, failed his Queen’s first command, and proven himself to be exactly as worthless an heir as he told her he would be. They’ll be better off for his loss, all of them.

Summary
“Red Bull Racing have announced that Gianpiero Lambiase will not be returning as Max Verstappen’s race engineer for the 2023 season. Taking his place will be Charles Leclerc, former Scuderia Ferrari performance engineer.”
His hands had shook around his phone as he read the announcement, his breath firmly lodged in his throat. Charles has known he had the job since he first sat down across from Christian Horner and accepted the offer, alongside a Red Bull polo, with hands that felt bloodied. But reading it from the official F1 socials is something else entirely. It is real.
“At twenty-five, Leclerc will be the youngest race engineer in Formula One history.”
He had barely managed to get to a trash can before vomiting up his lunch.
Or:
The Engineer!Charles AU no one asked for
