    Summary

    It’s been almost five years since Ron’s death, and Hermione still wakes up feeling like she can’t breathe. Calming draughts help, but they don’t make her forget. Draco Malfoy turns out to be far more effective. He doesn’t ask. He takes. He has a wife, a potion empire, a fortune, and demons of his own. Their encounters are neither tender nor healthy — but they bring her something she hasn’t felt in years: silence in her head.

    Their brutal relationship becomes her new sedative — until the first victim of a magical coma is brought into St. Mungo’s, and Hermione has no choice but to wake up.

    Loved the toxicity in the beginning and how they fell in looooooove yayyyy. Would’ve loved a tad more pining but the fights and longing were still great!

    Summary

    “Chuuya.” Dazai says, in a way that makes Chuuya think Dazai has said his name once already.

    “Dazai.” He responds. When he looks up, he accidentally focuses on Dazai’s mouth, the deep raw color of the bruise growing on his cheek. Chuuya blinks, rocks on his feet, looks away.

    “I said did you kill them?” Dazai asks after a long pause. His voice is uncomfortably even.

    Chuuya looks at Dazai and the violence in his eyes shakes him to his core. His stomach floods with want. His toes curl in his shoes.

    Chuuya nods, a jerk of his head. His ribs ache. Dazai evaluates him.

    “We need to go.” Dazai says.

    I am afraid of the power you hold over me, Chuuya thinks and says—

    “Yeah.”

    Dazai steps on a body when they leave, eyes trained elsewhere. It makes a sound like ice cracking.

    Dazai doesn’t look down.

    The palms of Chuuya’s hands itch.

    The pain and angst in the beginning were so goddamn goooood, i felt it all. The pining and the hurt. It was also written very well, the prose having the quality of Richard Siken’s poetry.

    And hey, good smut

    I read this for the first time a while ago and while I’m not a big fan of these kinds of AUs, the tension and pining is just so fucking good that I reread it and now am bookmarking it. I kind of take it as an original work adjacent. Anyway, written very well and gives me literal butterflies.

    Summary

    Life goes on after the Foxes win the championship, and for Andrew and Neil it's uncharted territory with only each other for guides. Maybe it's time to put away some of those hard edges, and learn how to touch more softly, and speak more honestly. And if they falter, they have their family to help them get back on their feet.

    Summary

    “Have you considered the possibility that Neil has chosen you, but believes you have not chosen him?” Renee says. "Have you ever explicitly told him what you want?”

    “Neil knows what I want,” Andrew snaps. This is not Andrew’s fault.

    “How do you know?”

    Because Neil always knows. He is as fluent in Andrew’s micro-expressions as he is in German and French. He knows which head tilts mean “go on” and which ones mean “shut up.” Without ever asking, he learned what it meant to see Andrew wearing double layers of long sleeves, or taking multiple showers in a day, and learned to hand Andrew the car keys.

    That has always been the most terrifying thing about Neil — his patience to wait, watch, listen, learn. The prospect that if Neil were given enough time, there would be no part of Andrew that was just Andrew’s anymore.

    “He has to know,” Andrew says.

    “Does he?” Renee says. “Have you ever known Neil to assume that he is wanted?”

    Five times Neil tells someone that he and Andrew aren’t dating, and one time Andrew uses his words to set the record straight.
