Summary
Quentin Coldwater, high-fantasy wunderkind and eternal sucker for a good hero, only needs one thing: to finish the last book of his trilogy.
Eliot Waugh, genre-busting enfant terrible and antihero (at best) of his own not-so-thinly-veiled life story, doesn’t need anything at all.
A middle-of-winter book tour reveals, one snow-covered city at a time, that there may be something else they both (desperately) need. If only they can let themselves have their own happy ending.

Summary
Eliot dreams about Quentin.
Not every night. Half the time he doesn't remember what he dreams at all, lost in an unconscious haze brought by drink or other substance. Other times it's just– trauma, pure and unfiltered, his helpless brain trying to process the unending slog of shit he's been through for... his entire fucking life.
But sometimes he dreams of Q
In which Quentin is dead, and Eliot grieves, and somehow they make it work anyway.

Summary
Quentin Coldwater's future was waiting. It had been waiting for him, hoping he would grow up already and face reality, and now he was here. All he had to do was walk through the damn door.
[Alternatively, Timeline One. In which magic is discovered, losses are had, and everyone is woefully unprepared.]

Summary
The absurdity of the whole situation is that it turns out that going crazy didn’t feel like going crazy somehow. It felt like someone kept switching the channel on his life at random intervals.
Sometimes he’ll take a sip of water and taste champagne bubbles on his tongue, feel the urge to straighten his clothes like he hasn’t basically been wearing pajamas for a week now. Then he’ll relax back into the body cradling his own, his head resting in the lap of someone who runs fingers through his hair, twisting that one curl that refuses to bend to his will in a way that will make it stand up straight. His hand flicks up on reflex, holding onto a slender wrist to stop its movement.
Alarmingly, one time he’s pretty sure he’s holding a gun and advancing down an alleyway in some city.
Regardless, Midtown Mental Health Clinic is the worst possible place to start seeing impossible things and have out of body experiences.
Alternate Season 1/Sense 8 AU that no one asked for quite frankly.

Summary
Quentin is possessed by the Monster. Ted Coldwater is dying. Eliot and Julia are doing their best.
---What occurs to Eliot then is possibly the most morbid idea he’s ever had. Julia won’t like it, but he’s-- albeit deliriously-- proud of himself for the levels of pragmatism he’s reaching about the whole situation. They’re a balancing act now: Julia with the moral compass and Eliot with the roadmap straight to hell if it means getting Quentin back.
He walks back to the Monster and switches off the TV, which immediately sets the Monster off. It gets off the couch and glares, makes Quentin’s 5’8” frame entirely too intimidating, and hisses, “I wasn’t done.”
Eliot is nothing if not a world-class bullshitter and turning on the charm for a Monster with barely any concept of social cues is child’s play. He could get the Monster to eat out of his hand, if he tried hard enough. He pushes down the bile in his throat and smiles big, inviting, “I’ve got something better than TV; I’ve got a game we can play. It’s called the Quentin Game.”

Summary
This is a HBP AU. It's set a few days after the Sectumsempra scene and takes the story in another direction, asking the question: "What if the Sectumsempra scene had a greater impact on Harry and Draco?" Harry and Draco are sixteen. In medias res beginning. Non-linear storytelling.

Summary
Voldemort is dead but the war isn't over, not for Harry.
There's a darkness that follows him around the world and back to Hogwarts when he returns for his eighth and final year, looking for answers in old tomes and dead magics to questions which scare him more than hallows and horcruxes.
A darkness no one understands except for the one person whose fate seems tied to his. The one person Harry never expected to need, more than he's ever needed anyone else.
The boy who saved him. The boy who hates him. The boy who sees him, because he's always been watching.

Summary
“I can choose a husband?” High King Eliot asked again, blinking in shock. “A husband?"
“If you’d like,” Dint said through his teeth. “And a wife, of course."
“What if I—” the High King’s eyes darted between Ted and Dint, fast as a bunny sniffed. “What if I only want a husband?”
Quentin couldn’t feel his legs.
—When newly arrived High King Eliot Waugh meets Fillorian Quentin of Coldwater Cove, he makes a decision with lasting consequences not only for the two of them, but for the entire kingdom.
(Or: A Love Letter to Fillory)
