    Summary

    "For thee, Ansonia! Nature’s bounteous hand,
    Luxuriant spreads around her blooming stores;
    Profusion laughs o’er all the glowing land,
    And softest breezes from thy myrtle-shores.

    Yet though for thee, unclouded suns diffuse
    Their genial radiance o’er thy blushing plains;
    Though in thy fragrant groves the sportive muse
    Delights to pour her wild, enchanted strains;

    Though airs that breathe of paradise are thine,
    Sweet as the Indian, or Arabian gales;
    Though fruitful olive and empurpling vine,
    Enrich, fair Italy! thy Alpine vales;
    Yet far from thee inspiring freedom flies,
    To Albion’s coast and ever-varying skies!"

    Sonnet to Italy (1816) by Felicia Dorothea Hemans

    Summary

    Castiel comes back, human, and suddenly the world feels different. Dean calls him Castiel at first for fun, to mask the weight of everything, but it doesn’t stay a joke. With every repetition, it becomes something else—tender, binding.

    OR
    A story about finding each other, quiet mornings, stumbling into domesticity, farmer’s markets, paint stains and coffee rings, maybe one last case, and the raw intimacy of learning each other without walls. In small rituals, they discover what it means to live without blood and fear, and to love without it.

    Or
    A quiet love story about humanity, healing, and the way a name can mean everything.

    or
    they get together, kiss, and have filthy sex, too.

    --
    "The first time Dean says his full name, it startles him, deep, hits him like a thunderbolt. His eyes widen before he can stop it, and the word strokes something ancient in him, as old as the last wisps of his grace holding his skin together, and yet, embarrassingly human. It lands somewhere deep in his chest, somewhere to the top of his lungs, igniting him like a dropped match in dry grass. And something—heat or want maybe—flickers to life.
    Dean doesn't look away. Then he says it again, slower."

    The voice decidedly did not belong to Miss Baxter. It was, however, infuriatingly familiar.

    Thomas Hayward—a junior barrister aiming for a promotion, a poetry enthusiast, a newly made husband, a man of generally affable nature—saw red.

    Summary

    Mary Bennet is many things, but she never thought she had it in her to be the heroine of her own love story. Away from Longbourn and her overbearing mother, Mary found herself in a dilemma: her wavering willingness to go through with the loveless marriage proposed before her departure. With the wedding announcement on the horizon, as Mary reflects on her future, she makes an unlikely acquaintance that inspires her to sneak some love in her life.

    Summary

    Perhaps Ryder would take her on another hike, a better hike, where it wouldn’t rain and no one would interrupt them. Or better yet, he might propose in view of her mother, that she could never again belittle Miss Bennet, or pass judgements on her, for Ryder was a match that would please any discerning mama. (Tom was not, for he had nothing he had not toiled for.) Perhaps they would have a fleeting engagement, and request special permissions to marry as soon as possible, that they might leave for Italy immediately. Perhaps there she might forget about Tom, and about the conversation on the lake, and on the mountain, while drinking sweet wines and breathing sea air. Perhaps that was for the best.

    Episode 10, from Tom’s point of view

    Summary

    Apparently, in the wizarding world, having a predestined soulmate is completely normal.

    Honestly, Harry really shouldn’t be surprised anymore; after all, he’s been living almost nine years in the world of witches and wizards, having come across his fair share of crazy both during his years at Hogwarts and afterwards in his job as an Auror. And so, when his twentieth birthday arrives and a single letter appears on his right wrist, it honestly shouldn’t affect him so.

    Meanwhile, Draco Malfoy is busy getting his life back on track. With the war over, the Dark Lord defeated, his father incarcerated in Azkaban for life, and his new status as an Auror, Draco should for once have no difficulty enjoying his life. Except, there’s the minor issue of Harry Potter apparently being his soulmate to consider.

    When someone starts trying to murder Harry, Draco is assigned as his protection. And although neither of the two have any idea what awaits them on the path ahead, one thing’s for certain: This will either end in bloodshed, or something far, far worse.

    But, yeah, no need to panic.

    Summary

    When Harry Potter, of all people, offers to help Draco erase his Dark Mark, he has no choice but to accept. He wants it gone. He wants to forget. He wants to reconstitute the past. Never mind that erasures leave real marks on bodies, real traces on the world in its becoming. This is not how he expected his eighth year to go.

    Summary

    The war was over.

    Or at least that’s what the papers said.

    They’d been saying it, for months, as if people needed reminding.

    Maybe they did.

    ***

    In which Harry and Draco both run away from their pasts and conveniently choose to hide in the same tiny American town.

    It's super.

    Summary

    Emotion was building in Harry’s throat. “This is very interesting Draco,” he admitted, aiming for casual but knowing the shaking of his hands was giving him away, “but how do we get back?”

    Draco’s face crumpled. “I’m sorry Harry, there is no way back.” It was like a bell had been struck inside Harry’s head - all he could hear was ringing. “There’s no where to go back to,” Draco moaned. “He wasn’t just trying to travel in time - he was trying to obliterate his own.” Draco choked on his tears. “There’s nothing ahead of this to travel to yet Harry.” He let out a few more hiccuping tears before finally suppressing his noises of pain. “There is no going back,” he whispered.

    Harry had known working at the Department of Mysteries came with risks, but he never would have expected it to destroy his entire life. Now, trapped as his 14 year old self just after the resurrection of Voldemort with Draco Malfoy for company, they must try and figure out how to move forward.

    Summary

    ‘“You can’t go alone Harry,” Hermione said, trying to lift herself to her feet but giving up with a squeak, “You need help!”
    “No,” Harry said firmly, “This is my decision to run off to try and save Sirius, no one else’s - and you need help Hermione! Look at your ankle!”
    “How are you even getting there?” Ron demanded, “'Cause if you want to floo, it looks like we both need to go back up to the castle,” he cried triumphantly.
    The answer to his question came in the form of a sudden insistent tugging at the sleeve of Harry’s robe. He flinched back, and looked down to find the skeletal head of doe-eyed Thestral following the path of his hand in an attempt to lick off the blood that coated his arm. Harry froze for a minute, then grinned. He knew exactly how he was getting to London.’

    When Harry made the choice to leave his friends behind, and rescue Sirius from the Department of Mysteries on his own, he had never imagined what the consequences might be.

    “I’m here,” Astarion rasps, pleading. “Come to me, darling. Come back to me.”

    “W-who are you?”

    Astarion must win back her trust and affections, all while hunting down whoever sought to break the most powerful bond in Faerûn.

    Summary

    “We are party friends,” Harry said weakly. He ran his fingers through his hair. When he got home, he assured himself, he would have a truly epic wank. That would expunge all of this wild, unmitigated longing.

    “Oh,” Malfoy said, his voice low. “Is that what we are, Potter?”

    “I— yeah. I’d better— I really need to go.”

    “And what is it that you’re running off to do? Is it more important than me? Why can’t you stay and entertain me?” Malfoy’s voice was melodic and tempting. He reached out and caught Harry’s wrist. “I want you to stay and entertain me. That’s what I want, and I ought to have it.”

    ~~***~~

    Or: After every party they attend together, Harry goes back to Grimmauld and has a wank over Draco Malfoy. Tonight, Harry draws up the Gryffindor courage to ask Mafloy back to his for a shag. And Harry's about to get very lucky.
