Summary
“Excuse me, can you help me find my staff?”
Jannik looked up sharply, certain the words were not meant for him. A young man stood above him, tanned by the sun, his brown tunic falling to his ankles. He was facing Jannik, but his gaze was slightly off. Jannik watched him, waiting for the familiar recoil. It did not come.
Oh, Jannik thought. He cannot see.
On a medieval pilgrimage, two men walk the same road for different reasons.

Summary
In the autumn of 1950s England, Jannik Sinner leaves behind the narrow streets of his northern town for St. Augustine’s, a university made of stone courtyards and high expectations.
When he gets there, he's assigned to share a room with Carlos Alcaraz, a warm-spirited student whose ease stands in gentle contrast to Jannik’s reserve. What he imagined as a solitary year becomes something else entirely: a slow unravelling of habits, assumptions, and the small defences he has carried since childhood. -

Summary
Carlos Alcaraz, at 26, has spent seven years building his reputation as a male nanny. His multilingual skills and musical background have helped him succeed in a field where male nannies are uncommon. When his agency contacts him about a new position, they hadn’t given much detail. Just that a wealthy, single father - Jannik Sinner - needs a full-time nanny for his two children and the pay is exceptional.

Summary
“Jan…” Carlos whispers, his voice barely there, his name curling softly around his mouth, like a reverence.
Jannik closes his eyes, swallows down the regret, and stops him before he can call it a mistake once again. “I know.”
He doesn’t. Not really. He just knows this won’t fix anything.

Summary
Zuko had never excelled at anything. Azula was a prodigy. Uncle always knew what to say. And Father... Father was strong, iron-like. But Zuko had only ever been good at surviving. Putting one foot in front of the other in a grim show of stubborn determination, gritting his teeth and bearing it. Survival was all he had ever been taught. He knew how to do it. So when he was kidnapped by the Southern Water Tribe, he expected to fight as he always had. He didn’t expect to be taught instead how to live.
In a warring land, the Water Tribe forgave the enemy in an act of defiance. For this, he was torn from them, and this time, his wounds won't heal so easily.
Forced back into nothing but survival, the last person Zuko expected to see was Hakoda's son. Hakoda was a promise of safety. The relentless blue of Sokka’s eyes was a promise of happiness. Zuko could have both if he just reached out his hands, but he found them clutching into fists. After all, he’d been burned one too many times.
But hey, at least between Hakoda and Sokka, Zuko could appreciate the family resemblance of pure, asinine stubbornness.

Summary
“They’re… chaos,” Remus said firmly. “And chaos is—”
“Rock and roll.”
He looked at Sirius sharply, and for once, matched his grin. “Yeah.”
“Maybe that’s my excuse then,” Sirius said. “I cause a bit of chaos now, and maybe one day, it’ll turn into rock and roll.”After losing his mother at age eleven, Remus has spent the better part of the last four years bouncing from school to school or else running around London and pretending as though he wasn't the kind of well-bred boy his father brought him up to be. Now, with his chances all run out, Remus is sent to Hawkings Independent School as a last-ditch effort to clean up his act. There he meets the very people who will set up the rest of his life, and is forced to confront the pieces of himself he'd long thought had been lost.
(genuinely not apologising for the slow-burn in this fic anymore. You've been warned <3)
