Summary
Theodore Nott has always lived by plans, not risks. Study hard, keep quiet, stay alive. It repeated like a mantra in his head. But the war is over and the wizarding world has no place for the Nott heir trying to make amends. University becomes his salvation. Four years later, he's on track to graduate when he takes one last chance at a study-abroad program in New Orleans. Now he's in a new city, with a new life, and he's taken a risk for once in his careful existence.
Harry Potter stopped planning years ago. The auror program broke him, the wizarding world demanded too much, and the voices of the dead have always been too loud to ignore. In New Orleans, he found freedom and purpose running Beyond the Black Veil, a small shop where he has remade himself as a medium, helping the living speak with the dead in a city where magic and morality blurs. He had no interest in the world he left behind.
Until Theo walks through his door.
Neither expected their paths to collide. Neither expects that grief might be the bridge between them. And neither expects that sometimes, when life and death are balanced just right, love can be a risk worth taking.
Sometimes your past catches up to you.

Summary
It all started by chance, when Bill noticed the black eye Richie was sporting. Then came the downward spiral of social services, finding out you are adopted and have a long lost twin brother, and leaving the town you grew up in to go live with the family that adopted him.
***
You mean I didn’t just get stuck with the worst parents on the face of the earth by the fate of conception? You mean they actually chose me just to wish they hadn’t all these years later? You mean I now have two families that don’t want me? It makes sense really. I'm just a big trashmouth. I’m a disappointment. Why would anyone want me?
***
The Wheeler's really are polar opposites from the Tozier's. What will it take for Richie to understand he can actually be wanted? How will these boys react to the change in family dynamic? What happens when they both are pining over the same boy? Get ready for a deep dive into the emotions of Richie, Mike, and Will as they navigate these life changes in the last few years of high school. Can they handle it? We'll just have to see.

Summary
Harry Potter is exhausted, haunted by the media, and somehow more socially anxious than ever. The war never came, but he’s still stuck in the middle of everything—The Chosen One, The Liar, The Symbol. He’s tired of being looked at. Tired of being looked through.
When eighth year begins, he flees to the Room of Requirement to escape it all. It’s quiet there. Safe. Until it isn’t—until Draco Malfoy shows up. They agree to ignore each other, which goes about as well as you’d expect.
Includes: magical shenanigans, a snake named Thistle, thestral babies, inappropriate uses of Parseltongue, cozy chaos, smutty smut and angsty angst, and two idiots falling in love.

Summary
After spending fifteen years living in hiding in America following his mother’s murder and his own near-death experience, Harry Evans and his father Severus are obliged to return to England for a compulsory year of education at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. But never fear—everything’s gonna be just fine, he just has to get through nine months of maintaining a secret identity, putting up with a trio of really weird godfathers, feeding the fantastic magical noodle he found in a sewer, and dodging the wrath of the surliest, prickliest, finickiest roommate one could ask for.

He doesn’t have adrenaline to it until he accidentally steps into a club owned by Regulus Black (his ex-boyfriend), Barty Crouch Jr. (his deepest fantasy), and Evan Rosier (his first kiss). One night changes everything as James is pulled into a chaotic, intoxicating whirlwind of desire, teasing, and unexpected intimacy.
