Summary
Regulus has it all figured out. He keeps men on a rotating roster so none can get too close, works nights as a dancer to make the most of his chronic insomnia, and pushes everything he doesn’t want to remember about the past ten years into the recesses of his mind. It’s easier to pretend none of it ever happened.
But when James Potter crashes into Regulus’ life with his fancy sports car, wealth beyond measure, and devil’s smile, it marks a switch in the natural order of things. James is a client; Regulus isn’t allowed to fall in love with him. Except James is the first man in a long time who can see past Regulus’ carefully constructed façade, and who could ever resist the temptation of being known?
Or, this is a story about identity, addiction, self-expression, and love in all of the varying shapes they can take.

Summary
"Their grades had been acting like a sick game of tug-of-war, alternating like the phases of the moon, waxing in one of their favours before waning and swapping power to the other. Switching between first and second place like neither of them could find their footing on the podiums."
Or, Evan Rosier and Barty Crouch Jr start their last year of sixth form determined to each be top of their class. Tests, bets and group projects force them to reconsider their fierce academic rivalry and maybe, possibly, discover that there's a thin line between love and hate.

Summary
Percy Weasley has rules. Protocol. Procedure. A colour-coded folder for every crisis.
But when a mysterious Ministry memo resurfaces—twelve names, six already dead—Percy is dragged into a covert task force with one mission: find the source before the body count rises.
First problem: he’s partnered with Oliver Wood—whose involvement is both a tactical nightmare and a personal inconvenience.
Second: Hermione and Draco are undercover as a married couple—and dangerously good at the performance.
Third: Harry’s informant is Theo Nott—answers to no one, especially not Harry, and knows exactly how far he can push.
Fourth: Ron’s surveillance target is Pansy Parkinson, who may be a security risk—or just very, very distracting.And absolutely no one is following the Ministry’s no-fraternisation policy.

Summary
A year after the Battle of Hogwarts, Percy Weasley finds himself as a Scribe again, documenting the interrogations of those aligned with Voldemort. When not at work Percy finds himself alone in his apartment, deservedly drowning in his guilt and isolating from those he'd consider close- wondering if they'd ever considered the same of him.
Until Narcissa Malfoy's interrogation. When a forgotten part of the war is dug up, Percy finds himself in the middle.

Summary
Percy is thrilled when he receives his letter for Hogwarts. He will have the chance to prove himself to everyone, and his parents, that he is more than just a good-for-nothing, spare Weasley boy. He will become prefect. He will become Head boy. And nothing will distract him or get in his way.
To his dismay, he meets a young boy, Oliver Wood, who he immediately decides he will never like.

Didn’t mean to make you cry,

Carry on, carry on

A somewhat canon-compliant fic that follows Percy Weasley's life, and his relationship with Oliver Wood over the years. It begins in his first year and ends in 1998. This is an extended version of my other fic "do i wanna know". However, upon review, I have made a few changes (improvements) that will happen over the course of the fic. "do i wanna know" provides an oversimplified review of what this will be like. So check it out!
This one will be, not extremely slow burn, but definitely moves slower in terms of Oliver and Percy and their relationship, because it takes place over a longer period of time.
