    If only Shane could get his subconscious to understand that.

    Summary

    Maybe if the video ended there, Shane thought, it would be okay. Okayish. Still incriminating. Still a fucking disaster. Still embarrassing, to have his breakup with this beautiful actress filmed and disseminated on Reddit of all fucking places, but not a nail in his coffin, burying him alive. But the video didn’t end there.

    “Can I ask if you’ve ever been with another guy?” she had to ask.

    And he, tears visible in his eyes, had to nod.

    Just once. Just a single nod.

    Why did he have to nod?

    “Have you ever told anyone that before?” He shook his head. “Was it different? With a guy?”

    “Of course.”

    Of course.

    “Was it better?”

    “Yes.”

    Shane’s conversation with Rose is secretly recorded. Months later, after the All-Star game and Ilya’s confession in Russian, the video gets leaked online. Shane is outed to the world while Ilya is in Russia, and must now finish the 2016-2017 season with the entire world in on his secret.

    Summary

    After the end of the Second Wizarding War, the infamous Boy Who Lived Twice has all but disappeared from the public eye. In a shocking act of spontaneity in the months following his victory over He Who Shall Not Be Named, Harry Potter abandoned his friends and his pursuits of becoming an auror to study dragons at the infamous Romanian Dragon Sanctuary. Under the careful guidance of his best friend’s brother, Charlie Weasley, Harry has discovered a passion for caring for the rather vicious and powerful beasts. The tumultuous life of the Savior has finally calmed down, and one could argue that he has found something reminiscent of peace after a lifetime of anguish.

    But of course, Harry Potter’s life is anything but peaceful. When the dragon keepers save an injured dragon from poachers, Harry’s newfound peace is turned upside down. As any respectable dragon keeper knows, Hebridean Black dragons are notorious for their dark scales and purple eyes. Imagine their surprise when the injured dragon is discovered to be a pure-white Hebridean Black with gray eyes. Eyes that only seem to watch Harry.
