Summary
“I’m dying,” Senkuu said in the same tone he used for minor inconveniences.
Or, in other words, Senkuu gets a fun new experiment by way of contracting lethal Hanahaki Disease and somehow Gen’s still the one who suffers.Series

Bookmarker's Notes
The smartest people you know are stuck in an idiots to lovers arc and it rules
This is such a delightful inversion and breakdown of the hanahaki trope. It is somehow both hilarious and grounded. The dialogue is so perfect for the characters and they bounce off each other like uh— something that bounces.
I love the progression of gen and senkuu’s relationship in this. Their reactions make so much sense and I honestly cannot imagine it going any other way. This fic feels like something that just ticks all the boxes I could’ve wanted, without even knowing I wanted them!
Sequel also had me squealing. An absolute treat to read!

Summary
The thing about time is that it's relative. If something happens in one moment it also happens in every moment throughout all of its existence.
That is to say that when a fraction of a fraction of the King slips into Avery's mind on New Year's Eve, Avery also wakes up a year prior with omnipotence, a world's worth of grief, and his best friend's real-life address burning in his head.
Along the way he picks up a baseball bat. It's a necessary provision for smashing Derek's laptop into a thousand pieces before he can so much as launch Minecraft.

Bookmarker's Notes
Sometimes, comedy writes itself. Other times, a writer is just dang good at what they do. This fic is chock full of bangers. That’s especially impressive considering they did it in under 5k words, and not a word of that is wasted. Highly recommend.
Now imagine:
“Imagine knowing everything. Now, imagine knowing one billionth of everything, and also you’re a clock, and also you’re really fucking afraid.”
“The thing about love is that it’s incredibly illogical. Imagine you have two clocks. Wait, no, don’t do that. That’s stupid. Metaphors are stupid.“
“Imagine, if you will, a story about love.” 💜

Draco and harry go back in time. It’s funny and cute. This is good stuff right here. These two gremlins scheming and sneaking around. This author manages to convince me to like Draco Malfoy- a miraculous feat

Summary
It's been over five years since Voldemort's defeat when Harry Potter gets pushed through a portal and falls into the Great Hall of Hogwarts. This wouldn't be a problem, exactly, except it's his parents' Hogwarts instead of his own. Thankfully, Hermione and Ron aren't about to let him face this newest form of trouble by himself. Even more fortunately, Hermione says they're in a different dimension entirely.
Harry has a castle full of living ghosts, his best friends by his side, and three to six months to make just a few changes. Starting with a snake.

Funny and thoughtful, made me cry. The banter with Harry, Ron, and hermione makes me smile like an idiot because it showcases their friendship in such a realistic way. They’ve got their little inside jokes and they rib on each other and they got each others back- it’s all so fun to read. Then there’s the interaction between Harry and the marauders era crew- particularly Peter’s, that makes me so emotional. Wonderful work that really does SO much with in 30k words.
