Summary
He plunges his sword into the ground — a familiar, practiced motion. The world pauses for a moment, and he sees the purple threads of blighted chroma ensnaring Gustave; pulls, yanking them towards himself. The pulsing chroma freezes for a second, tightening around the engineer. Then, like a pouncing predator, jumps at Verso.
The world starts moving again. A wave of nausea and fatigue almost knocks Verso to the ground, and it’s a miracle that he manages to dodge the next attack.
Gustave is staring at him, trying to process what just happened.
“Run,” Verso croaks.
Or: 5 times Verso carried Gustave’s burden and the 1 time Gustave carried his.

Summary
The night feels like it moves quickly, melting away as they all get steadily drunker; Zayn watches the boys eat and laugh and shove each other around and feels suddenly very glad to be with them, incredibly lucky to have all of them to himself.
Especially you, Zayn thinks, looking over at Louis. The bar lights are dim, as usual, but there’s a dull little ceiling lamp above their table and it illuminates Louis just enough as he smiles back.

Summary
“You’re telling the truth,” Louis whispers.
“Of course I’m telling the truth!” Harry doesn’t even care that he sounds exasperated.
“Oh my god.” Louis grabs the wall behind him as if looking for support. His body slides down against it until he’s sitting crouched on the floor.
He mumbles something but Harry can’t really figure out what it is. He crouches down, and looks desperately at the breaking boy in front of him.
“You’re telling the truth,” Louis whispers. “You were not supposed to–”
“I was not supposed to do what? Tell me please,” Harry urges, taking Louis’ hands gently in his.
Or the X Factor era canon fic where they learn how to be a couple and that not everyone is going to be on their sides especially those with plain white t-shirts and saccharine smiles.

Summary
The knife clattered against the tiles, far from them, too far now, and the flash of regret in Carl's eyes was almost enough to tear Akram down.
"Not here. Not like this. But next time you feel like fighting, you call me." A semblance of control, his hand back on Carl's wrists—fine, strong, like marble he would admire in his youth —, demanding, until the man's whimper could sound like a yes.

Non-magical modern AU - Marauders/Wolfstar
Sirius attends a charity rock gig organised by his best friend's girlfriend, and the tall, quiet bassist catches his eye...
Basically just a thing I wrote after listening to Belle & Sebastian's 'Dress up in you' a million times.
Quite sexy.

Summary
In 1978, Sirius Black almost becomes an Auror. Turns out even he can’t fake his way through the mental health assessment.
So what. He has better things to do: Remus Lupin is one. The war is another. He spends weeks at a time undercover for the Order while Polyjuiced to the gills. It’s probably his new favourite thing.
Little does Sirius know that running from himself will send him on a collision course with his ephemeral brother, but life is funny that way.

🌒🌓🌔🌕🌖🌗🌘
These were the things they didn’t talk about, but for a hot, flaring second, Remus seemed ready to break that silence like a bone.

Summary
“If I were a girl, ‘or something’?” James repeats, just to double check he has heard the question correctly. “Would I think that Remus was…?”
“Was sort of-” Sirius tries to shrug casually, but James sees right through it. “-handsome. Or something.”
