Summary
Cordelia, youngest child and only daughter of Denethor II, has spent twenty-one years in the White City. She has been a good daughter. She has tried, at least, to be a good daughter.
Now she is betrothed to Théodred — the prince of Rohan, whom she barely knows — and her brother is riding to Rivendell. Her father looks at her the way he looks at everything that is not Boromir. And somewhere in the north, a man with no kingdom and no name she yet knows is walking toward a war that will change the world as she knows it.
(Or: a story about leaving home, losing everything, and finding the kind of love the old stories never quite prepare you for).

Summary
Severus Snape x Reader (you)
1981: You're fourteen when you discover that Severus Snape is the only person at Hogwarts who doesn't talk down to you. It starts with a late-night conversation about runic theory. It becomes four years of intellectual connection that you're both too careful to name.
1985: You're seventeen when you realize that respect has curdled into something dangerous. So you leave, three years in Egypt, breaking curses for Gringotts, building a career far from Scotland. Far from him.
1988: You're twenty when you return to Hogwarts as the new wardcraft and curse-breaking professor. You're equals now. Adults. And after seven years of restraint, neither of you wants to wait anymore.
1991: You're twenty-three when Harry Potter arrives and the Dark Lord returns. When the war forces impossible choices, devastating secrets, and tests everything you've built together.
A slow-burn that actually catches fire. About forbidden attraction, forced distance, and what happens when you finally have each other... right as the world starts ending.
(Don't worry, you survive it. Both of you.)

Summary
When Philadelphia chef Magda saves a dying man's life, she expects maybe a thank-you, not a magical bond that drags her between dimensions full of orcs, sieges, and wildly inconvenient work shifts. Now she's got a war to survive, Thanksgiving desserts to cook, all while desperately trying not to die in the process.
