Summary
This is the story of twenty-three year old Remus Lupin, an overworked graduate student and underpaid barista, who comes home one day to find an exceptionally attractive man has broken into his flat. Given the neighborhood he lives in, that isn’t a huge surprise. He is surprised, though, when the burglar comes back with a sofa.
Alternatively, this is the story of how Sirius Black tries to seduce a man by slowly furnishing his flat.

After the war, Harry’s life falls to shambles. Each day revolves around an intense battle with his mental health, and there’s nothing that Ron or Hermione can do to help him.
That is, until Hermione teaches Harry how to knit.
Fast forward five years, and Harry is the proud owner of a renowned knitting shop in Diagon Alley, The Whomping Willow Woolery. Christmas season is upon him, and the shop is busier than ever. So, is it really a surprise that Draco Malfoy wanders in looking for a gift for his mother?

Summary
It has been since first year: this delirious want suffused in Remus’s veins. James introduced himself on their first day at university and Remus’s heart hasn’t sat right in his chest since. It’s been bunched over, scrunched in a corner to make room for James and his booming laugh and bright smile, the way his calloused fingers grip Remus’s elbow as he passes him in the hallway of their shared flat and scoops out his pulse.
two boys and a day.

Summary
As he was drowned by Voldemort’s Inferi, as his vision started to get blurry, Regulus’s life flashed before him. There was Sirius, who he respected the most, who had always tried to protect him, who was his closest. Then his childhood came flooding back, all the times he was happy, when he was loved. And then, it was just James, James Potter, who he regretted most. He regretted falling for that messy hair, the crooked glasses, the bright smile.
“Will you be proud of me? Will you ruffle my hair like you always do and smile at me?” His own thoughts and James’s face were the two last things engraved in his mind as he sunk into the deep black water.
