Summary
"'Mione, are you-" he searched her face and the glare she gave him could freeze boiling water. "Are you in labour?"
"No," she ground out through gritted teeth.
Ron Weasley was used to not being the smartest person in pretty much any room, but he wasn't dumb by any means, and he certainly had enough siblings that had plenty of children. He knew full well what labour looked like, especially the early stages where everyone was running around trying to figure out what to do and how much to grab before heading to the hospital.
And it definitely looked a lot like Hermione did now.
Flushed face, difficulty breathing and groans of pain accompanied by contractions every few minutes. And the most obvious sign, a harried looking spouse.
"I think you are," he said with a raised brow.
"I think I would know," she snapped.
Or - Hermione finds help accepting her impending motherhood from the most unlikely of sources.

Summary
"I have a proposition for you."
“A proposition.”
A single nod of her head. “Yes.”
“Color me intrigued, Granger.” He took another long sip of his drink that was followed by a mocking smirk that felt all wrong. “What is your proposition, pray tell?”
She took a deep breath, and squared her shoulders. She had faced dark wizards, werewolves and multiple man-eating snakes. She could do this. “I’m in need of some money.”

Summary
“Draco,” she said, sounding breathless as she rushed to his side, shaking him from his hazy reverie. She pulled a chair as close to his bed as possible and picked up his clammy hand. “The healer just Flooed me and said you were here, but nothing else. I came straight away.”
A cough wracked his form, and he winced through splitting pain in his head. “I’m glad you did, Granger. I’m not sure how much time I have.”

Summary
“Honestly, Granger, I don’t know how you find that drivel enjoyable,” Draco said with a shake of his head and an amused quirk to his lips. He offered her his arm as they stepped out of the theatre and into the chilly London air.
Hermione smiled in spite of his insult as she clutched at his bicep with her gloved hand. “I understand there’s nothing particularly intellectual about romantic comedies, Draco. But sometimes it’s just nice to watch something where I don’t have to think. It’s just nice to…imagine.”
Of course, she left off the very important detail that it was him she imagined.

Summary

or: Charlie realizes he might not have been pining alone all that the time before he and Nick got together.

Summary
Charlie lights up with the fire of a billion suns as he spots Nick from across the room. He slides out of their booth and sprints towards him, going for a hug.
Nick grabs him by the waist and spins him around like he weighs nothing more than a feather, which, Matthew briefly notes, judging by the muscles peeking out from the sleeves of his shirt, probably is the case, at least for him.
“I feel like I’m in The Notebook right now,” Naveena says, her mouth slightly hanging open, a smudge of red lipstick on her front tooth.
Or: Charlie and Nick in college, through the eyes of an outsider.

Summary
"They’ve been together for a week and Todoroki is almost dizzy from it, from Izuku taking his hand unprompted, or pressing a kiss to Todoroki’s cheek whenever the urge strikes him, or smiling a small, secret smile at him from across the classroom. It baffles him every time he thinks about it. Out of every possible option, Izuku has chosen him. Izuku wants to touch him and spend time with him and talk with him. Izuku, the brightest light in any room he enters, the bravest and the kindest and the best, has chosen Todoroki.
Todoroki is terrified of ruining it. But more than that, he’s terrified of ruining him."
Todoroki desperately wants to be a good boyfriend, but he's worried his past traumas have infected him somehow. Made him unfit to be loved. But he'll be damned if he isn't at least going to try.
(Sequel to ever so gently)
