    Summary

    In 1951, Hogwarts makes a startling change - for the first time ever, girls are permitted to shadow professors as part of their fifth-year curriculum. Sixteen-year-old Rey Niima, diligent and eager to please, finds herself placed under the tutelage of the school’s newest instructor: the grim and glowering veteran, Professor Ben Solo.

    What begins between the two as contemptuous, becomes something far more perilous when they become inexplicably linked. Soon, Rey finds herself in over her head with a desire she cannot begin to understand. Devotion and danger often wear the same face, and in this case - that face holds a scar and a gaze that Rey can’t hold for long.

    New chapters every Monday (& sometimes more).

    Summary

    Louis had worked in the infamous resort placed in the median point of all worlds for longer than he could remember. He went through everyday with a soul-crushing emptiness filling his mind, going through the same routine over and over again. Despite all the happenings around him, his soul never wavered, his emotions stayed superficial, and nothing took his breath away anymore.

    Nothing, except the intoxicating smell of lavender and the contemplating green eyes that came along for the ride every now and again. His heart always seemed to wake up full force whenever those pretty lips formed around even prettier, yet empty promises, and he felt the magic sizzle in his bones again only when contact was made between the divine body and his own deceivingly normal one. He hated it for the fact he really didn’t.

    Or : A Spirited Away AU of sorts where Louis just wants to heal and be left alone, only for all his plans to be destroyed by the hands of an infuriating British God.

    Summary

    “My eyes must be deceiving me,” Harry said in his slow drawl. His voice was deeper than Louis remembered. Maybe some things had changed after all.

    “They aren’t deceiving you. I’m here because I need you to finally sign these papers,” Louis said before he dropped the stack of paper on the hood of the car and held out a pen to Harry. “Just do it, Harry. Get it over with and then I’ll be out of your life forever, alright?”

    Face blank of all emotion outside of a sneer Harry said, “You’ve gotta be shitting me.”

    “God,” Louis groaned. Harry just couldn’t let this be easy. His pride wouldn’t allow it. “You know, I never really understood that phrase, but no. I am not ‘shitting’ you. Just sign the damn papers.”

    “Ya know, I don’t think I will,” Harry said before turning back to the front door.

    When the screen door slammed behind him, Louis realized Harry didn’t have anything else to say.

    Or a Sweet Home Alabama AU where Louis comes home to finally get his divorce from Harry finalized so he can move on with his life. Alderford holds its own set of challenges when he returns, but by facing his past maybe he can find the healing he so desperately needs.

    Summary

    "So this is what Stiles does. He lies in Scott’s bed and waits for Melissa to say she’s found someone to get it out of him, to cure him of the wrongness and the bad, and he dreams.

    God, he dreams.

    He dreams of fire and swollen bellies and that scene in Alien, of giving birth to jackals through his urethra, the whole horrific nine yards. His head is a terrible place to be, he can’t imagine his stomach is much better, why anyone would want to put a thing inside of it."
