    Summary

    Hermione hesitated, searching for the words as her throat went dry. “You asked how I knew your name...I know who you are because I’ve seen your picture in the Potter’s cottage thousands of times. There was an explosion, you disappeared from your flat—this flat.”
    She took a shaky breath. “You’ve been gone nearly twenty years, Sirius.”

    -------------------------------
    When Hermione Granger couldn’t find anything to fit her meager Ministry budget, she begrudgingly accepted the keys to Remus and Sirius’ old flat, never expecting to find her future in a man who disappeared twenty years before.

    Summary

    Set during Ruin & Rising. After Alina first uses their connection, she wants more. Only this time, he isn’t alone. But that just makes it more fun.

    Or, “How to Frustrate (in more ways than one) Someone Who Can’t Talk Back: An Exploratory Study ft. Alina Starkov”

    In her quiet moments, she would pick it up and study it, like a rare and beautiful gem.

    The sharp lines of his face. The slant of sunlight through the window. The stillness of him, the hitch in his breath, the waver on the edge of a precipice he so wanted to fall into. She had known that feeling many a time, the waiting, the wanting, the lure of it. But she hadn’t expected to see it in him.

    She wanted to see it again, the catch of his breath. She wanted to know what she could do to him.

    Summary

    A post-S1 AU. Guilt-ridden and in shock over causing Caroline's accident, without any magical way to heal her friend, Bonnie turns to magic for another solution. She finds it: time travel. But why jump back one night, when she could go back a couple of months and save everyone-including her Grams? But magic is never simple, and Bonnie finds herself on the Salvatore plantation in 1864. As she struggles to find her way home, she must rely on the kindness (or at least the curiosity) of Katherine Pierce and the human Salvatore brothers to protect her in a very different Mystic Falls.
