Summary
An 8th Year story exploring what would happen if Slytherin were radically depopulated as part of fall-out from the War. Who would want to be associated with the house supporting the losing side after all?
***
The first glimpse of the castle brought them to a halt. Hogwarts had been badly damaged by the battle. Harry could remember the building collapsed in pieces all around them. Significant repairs had been made in the intervening months but it still bore scars. Most of the walls had been restored but large chunks were still missing and the work that was completed seemed to have been done with more haste than care in places. It was obvious where the stone was new. Ron must have been having similar thoughts because he broke the silence. “It looks a right mess. Do you reckon they let Filch oversee the repairs?” The last attempt at a joke half-hearted.
Hermoine, answered seriously though. “I wonder if it was deliberate?”
“Why would the deliberately repair it badly?” Harry wasn’t sure if it was disbelief or anger coloring his voice. He hated seeing the castle like this.

Summary
Shouto kisses Katsuki again and again. Cupping the back of his head with one hand, his fingers curl at Katsuki’s neck. The white part of his bangs flops forward and even the red side starts coming loose from its gel hold.
He presses his whole body against Katsuki’s, holds him there, forcing his back against the other floor buttons. He kisses the corner of Katsuki’s mouth before going down to kiss at his neck.
Katsuki’s whole body thrums with the feeling of him, heat buzzing under his skin. He feels tipsy all over again—laughs out loud.
or: Katsuki wants to have and to be the best in everything. He doesn’t see why sex should be any different.

Summary
Life is tough for a high-school student. On the outside, Benjamin Finch is a smart, quiet kid who enters his senior year just wanting to avoid the bullies and escape the system alive--on the inside, he's a free spirit, dreaming of the day he can live a life of real adventure. When he inadvertently saves a punk rat from expulsion, she takes him on a path of rebellion and self-destruction, putting him up against skaters, goths, drug dealers, and all the administrative bureaucracy that Saint Carver High School has to offer.
As the mayhem grows, and chaos overtakes the school, the students react, the bullies retaliate, and the system resists. Every risk has a consequence.
Some birds were never meant to fly.

Summary
Chan and Felix are done with the idol life once their band has to pause its activity while some of the members are in the army. After that, priorities change and the members' lives fall out of sync. Back in Australia, Felix and Chan have to find their footing and their respective places in the world again, all the while harbouring some very layered and complicated feelings for each other. What happens at night and under the cover of unconsciousness remains buried and unaddressed for long and things get additionally complicated when Chan gets a girlfriend. This story is about daring to look your feelings in the eye and sit with the uncomfortable ones to find out what they say about you and your needs.
The straight parts are not going to be explicit and are barely there. Focus of this fic are Felix and Chan.
The title is a reference to the idea of lycanthropy - that when a man turns into a wolf at night, he becomes unable to repress his deepest, most animal urges. Chan's SKZoo animal is a wolf and that's one thing this story draws on.
Full Moon is also a legendary song by Sonata Arctica that's about this very premise. -

Summary
Wherein Paul wrestles with exactly what he feels for Kat, torn and terrified of losing the man whom he knows as no other: the one good thing to come out of the war.
OR: "I've been burning all my daylight running;
even midnight caught fire.
Only way I ever learned how.
(. . . )
If you lie awake
while your universe shakes,
and I go weightless and fall–
claws out for you now–
just hold onto yourself–We're almost home,
but we've got miles to go.Miles to go,
but we're almost home."~~~
Addendum: Now an accidental, indefinite short-story collection / dumping ground for my thoughts and feelings re: the book All Quiet, but mostly Paul and Kat. Expect stories, fanart(?), historical inaccuracies, canon divergence and goodness-knows-what-else.
NOTES: Despite the tags, none of this is salaciously explicit, although the subject of sexuality is dealt with frankly here (as is all else in the book).
"Chapters" 1-3 form something of a trilogy; everything that follows is intended to be standalone / unrelated (with some wink-and-nod callbacks).
Prompts / requests welcome! :D

Summary
Tomura’s touch kills. Intimate relationships, as he’s experienced throughout the years of his childhood, are remembered as weak and abusive. He is, under all conditions and definitions of the words, inexperienced and violent.
But he’s not an unintelligible idiot. He knows about sex and is known to unabashedly put effort into the goals he desires. When his emotional awakening post Deika city spurs an interest in exploring this otherwise ignored part of himself, he does all that he can to indulge this newfound curiosity until he can figure out a satisfying answer.
(And there’s only one comrade he trusts and cares about enough to do so.)
“So uh, what do you want me to do then, boss?” Spinner asks dumbly.
Tomura regards him with a calculated glance. “I want you to kneel for me.”

Summary
Kunikida is floored by Katai's confession after pining after him for years. And that kiss they shared definitely didn't short circuit his brain further. But with being in public at the time, he whisks Katai away back to the privacy of the brunette's apartment with the promise of "making up for lost time"...
Can be read as a stand-alone fic, but written as a companion piece for TrashcanintheFuture's fic "Glowing Lights"!

Summary
Tonks didn't want to get married, didn't want to have kids, but the Magical Population Management Act said she didn't have a say in the matter. At least this werewolf she picked out of the Ministry's catalogue seemed like a decent bloke?
A marriage law fic, but with a totally canon relationship that makes the trope unnecessary! Trope is used instead to explore building a sexual and romantic relationship out of familiarity and necessity, as well as frustrations with an overbearing state. There is significant canon divergence. That makes it sound more serious than it is; it's half smut, lol. Tonks is a bit aged up to make things less creepy.
JK Rowling sucks! But man, I still want to play around in the Harry Potter universe.

Summary
After the events of Rolling in the Deep, Ed, Stede and Izzy try to find a balance in their relationship. Stede and Izzy still don't agree on everything, but as long as Edward is happy, that's all that matters.
And Edward is happy. He's got the men he loves, and Blackbeard's reputation to keep them all safe. Never mind the nightmares he's been having, of a monster lurking beneath the waves. Never mind the days when he feels like he can't take the pressure anymore. And never mind the voice in the back of his head, telling him that the people he loves might be better off without him.
Tie it all to the anchor. Let it sink into the dark.
