Summary
Alex hates Sebastian – which is great because Sebastian more than returns the favour – and what starts out as revenge fantasy turns into unironic lust, which evolves into unrequited love. Alex gets a job, Sebastian marries the farmer, and both of them lose almost everything before finding each other again. A story of two mutual bullies who learn how to messily grow up.

How can he tell what's real? When he's not sure how to feel by LevityAndLiquorice
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling

Summary
“How’re you feeling there, Georgie? Any sensations to report? Hot, cold, numb… tingling?”
“No, Freddie, but if there’s any specific sensation related to a sudden loss of cock, you’ll be the second to know.”
“Not to mention the sudden presence of tits,” Fred returns with what George thinks is an entirely inappropriate eyebrow waggle.
What do you get when you add a potion meant to enact biological changes with a spilt work-in-progress aphrodisiac? If you're George Weasley, you get some new parts and a whole lot of introspection about your secret obsession with your twin brother. And maybe an orgasm or two.
(MIND THE TAGS. This contains very explicit twincest and literal Fred/George. It's tagged, please don't come for me.)

this one is really hot and has it all; twincest, sex transformations, aphrodisiacs? perfect. the "made for me" line? perfect.

Summary
Harry just hasn't been the same since his wife died a year and a half ago, and he knows it. But knowing something doesn't make you able - or willing - to change things. It doesn't help him sleep, doesn't help him reconnect with the family and friends he's pushed away, and doesn't help him make sense of the realities of becoming deaf so late in life. So when a total and utter bastard of a potion brewer moves into one of the workshop units downstairs of his broom repair business, he couldn't want less to do with the man. Alas, not everything is as it seems with this mysterious wizard, and Harry discovers that he can be a bit of a bastard, himself.
CW: Ginny died, and legit the first 70k words of this fic is Harry making a new friend and recovering from losing the love of his life; featuring violent flashbacks, panic attacks and very questionable but amusing choices!

its one of those really lovely domestic fics. its about them falling love but also so much more than that. I also like the way in which Harry is attracted to Severus, he did not fall in love because he was attractive rather he became attractive because Harry fell in love with him
