Summary
"Maybe in another life, we’re lovers.”
Hermione’s breath caught.
He looked at her.
“And maybe this...” he gestured between them again, “...is just an alternate universe. A different version of that life.”Written for Harmony Out of the Ordinary Prompt Fest, it’s not a traditional AU. No time travel, no soul bonds, no swapped houses or Dark Lords returned.
Just two best friends in their thirties, tangled up in everything but the truth. Harry’s relationships keep ending for the same reason-- they all think he’s already in love with Hermione.
And maybe… they’re not wrong.
A slow, aching, tender unraveling of the story they've told themselves.
One night, one breakup, one firelit living room, one bottle of whiskey...and a universe where Harry and Hermione stop pretending not to be that other love story.

Summary
Their friends have tried every trope in the book: only one bed, forced proximity, childhood friends, mutual pining, even co-parenting Crookshanks. But despite living half their lives entangled, Harry and Hermione remain firmly un-romantic.
Until Lavender Weasley suggests the last resort: fake marriage.
Now, tricked into attending a couples-only tropical retreat, complete with enchanted hot tubs, intimacy rituals, and enough sensual food play to make a house-elf blush, Harry and Hermione will have to keep up the act. Or possibly stop pretending altogether.
Written for the Harmony Out of the Ordinary Fest, this is a trope-twisting, resort-core love story about crossing the line between best friends and soulmates… with the help of edible shower gel.

Summary
Veela maturity hits Hermione Granger hard: sudden allure, unwanted suitors, and the creeping fear that no one supports her work for the right reasons anymore.
Except Harry Potter hasn't changed a bit. No poetry, no hovering, no sudden declarations—just the same steady presence that's been there since Hogwarts.
When the truth slips out, it's not the magic talking.
It's been years in the making.
And it's definitely not the Veela thing...

Summary
‘Where’s my wand?’ he mutters into his knees.
Jameson glances at one of the Aurors who edges his way closer.
‘The Ministry seized it when you—’
‘I want my wand,’ he says, and he sounds…tiny. Like a little boy.
‘Look lad, once you’re in the shelter, you can see about getting your wand back,’ the Auror closest to his side says, the badge at his hip glinting.
‘I can’t go there,’ Malfoy says into his knees. ‘Please. Please don’t make me go there.’ I realise he’s crying. That he’s hiding his face to stop them from seeing. That this is the first time I’ve ever heard him say the word please. That he’s scared. That Draco Malfoy is asking for help.
Something shatters inside me and—
‘He can stay with me.’
