    Summary

    She’s buying a box of condoms when she meets him.

    “Those are shit, you know,” he says, jerking his chin at the pale purple box in her hand. “Can’t feel anything.”

    She stares at him for a moment too long. The bell above the door jingles merrily as a rowdy group of schoolboys enters the store.

    “Excuse you,” she replies, cheeks turning pink.

    Summary

    Aleksander returns - wounded - from a trip to the Fjeran border. Alina begins to question that perhaps he’s just in need of some tenderness.

    Alina thinks she knows him well enough, now, to know when the tone of his voice is conveying whether he is truly angry, exasperated with her, in general annoyed - but he sounds exhausted, tonight. She believes that he’s tired, she can somehow feel it in his body, where her hands are pressed to his skin. Can feel it in his power, usually curling around her when she touches him, now docile and quiet.

    “I don’t want to fight with you either,” Alina finds herself saying quietly, studying his dark eyes as they shutter closed and his forehead tips against hers.

    “Then go to bed, Miss Starkov,” Aleksander says, stepping away from her and disappearing as quick as the twilight’s long shadow.

    This is a companion piece to take it all, which I recommend reading first for context!

    Summary

    A man’s hand, next to the lacy cuff of her cardigan. Mr. Morzova closes it around her and she has another, dizzying second to marvel at how large it is. How much of her arm it covers.

    “You’ve done nothing wrong,” he says like he’s soothing a crying child. “Quite the opposite.”

    When Alina glances over, Ana Kuya is staring at his hand too. It takes her a few seconds too long to look up to Alina’s face.

    “Mr. Morozova would like to—would like to adopt you.”

    Summary

    Sugar-coated moments set out on a table like the tea parties he threw her as a child. Whispers of hold on tight and I’m right here blowing through blades of grass on their front lawn, soaked up by rays of summer sun. Hopping bunnies through meadows of sweet butterfly kisses and flowers that smell like home. Happy birthday and I love you and my special girl filling that place deep inside her chest—the one where only he and her and they live.

    This is one of those moments.

    Summary

    “What are-“

    “You said you wanted to go upstairs Alinochka, that’s where I’m taking you.” he grit, all but dragging her up the stairs. She stumbled along with him, like a kitten carried by its scruff, into her dimly lit bedroom as the door shut behind them. Her eyes struggled to adjust, subconsciously letting Sasha direct her body in the small room, the backs of her thighs pressed up against the edge of her bed.

    His fingers stayed firmly over her wrist.

    “No more of this little girl. Tell me what’s wrong.”

    Little girl.

    Summary

    The first thing she notices is not the cut of his robes, or the way he has his hair styled, cropped close on the sides but long on the top. It’s not his expensive dragon leather shoes that shine nearly iridescent in the light, or the sharp caress of his grey eyes as they flit over her face with the speed and reflexes of a seasoned Seeker.

    It's the ink that peeks out above the crisp collar of his shirt. It’s a flash of blue against his pale skin, the only drop of color on his body.

    That she can see.

    It takes Hermione several minutes to focus well enough to drag her eyes away, lest she get caught with her jaw on the sticky floor of the pub they’re both standing in. Something tells her there's more color hidden behind the flat black of his suit and robes. There has to be, considering the intricate design that creeps up his neck like tendrils of blue smoke.

    Summary

    Threatened with the loss of her trust fund allowance, wild child Pansy Parkinson takes her mother up on an offer she can't refuse: a job at the Ministry of Magic as personal secretary to tightly wound bureaucrat Percy Weasley.

    The job is demanding, and so is her boss, in ways that Pansy never could have imagined.

    When their mutual desires begin to spin out of control, how will Pansy convince her boss that sometimes, the only rules you need to follow are your own?

    A loving tribute to the pure and criminally underappreciated magic that is the ParkWeasel ship, and the 2002 film Secretary.

    Summary

    Her hands steal under the hem of his shirt to sweep her fingers, with bare and hesitant contact, over the small of his back. His skin is sticky and gritty with the salt of his drying sweat. It’s gross and intimate and she likes it immensely.

    We're friends, she’s supposed to remind him, but what she whispers against his mouth instead is, "You're warm." She strokes the pads of her fingers over the ridges of his shoulder blades. "Why do you get so warm?"

    His hands press into her back.

    "I don't know."

    Summary

    Ren meets the omega on a job. She isn't the target for his kill, but soon becomes his greatest secret.

    The mercenary has a purpose now: No one will ever touch his mate.

     “Did you know Alpha was on his way, little one?” He asks, voice dark as his thick fingers trail up one of her bare thighs.

     Rey knows he needs this transition period when he comes home to her. First, he needs to be firm and a little rough with her, before her presence works its calming effect on him. Before he can fully leave behind the violence that is his reality every day he’s apart from her.

     Rey is happy to give him anything he needs. Everything.

     "Yes, Alpha," she breathes, letting the cloth stained with his blood fall to the floor.

    Summary

    Ben chuckled. What a cutie. An absolute darling. Elenor hadn’t asked for any toys, just her mommy and daddy. What more did anyone need, truly, than a loving family? It was amazing that a toddler seemed to understand the spirit of the season more than most adults. His heart squeezed with longing. He liked kids in general but this age, the terrible stage of emotional outbursts and blooming vocabularies, was by far his favorite.

    What could he say? Between the big, non-communicable feelings and the constant need to nap, he related to them more than the older kids.

    “No, sweetheart, a toy,” he grinned, helping her stay balanced when she stood up on his thigh. “Let’s ask your mom, maybe she can--”

    Oh, shit. Oh, he really fucked up.

    He wasn’t sure how but he’d made this mom cry.
