Summary
"Look, Hajime—"
"A truce," Iwaizumi declared, not giving Oikawa the chance to finish.
"—A truce?" Oikawa repeated suspiciously. "What truce?"
"I'd like to call a truce. In the spirit of the Olympics, if you want," he waved his hand dismissively. "Just for this month, can I have you back?"
When Oikawa returns after nearly a decade abroad, Iwaizumi offers him an olive branch in a last-ditch attempt to salvage a relationship that has never really ended. In the quiet crevices between glory and nostalgia, they're forced to figure out what matters most — and maybe more importantly, what matters just as much.

Summary
“He’s here,” Sirius whispered. “Standing with Lord Rosier.”
Across the ballroom, James found Rosier standing near a column. He was with his twin sister, Lady Pandora Rosier, and—
It couldn’t be. James felt his stomach swoop down into the bowels of the Earth, for the man standing with Lord Rosier could not be Lord Regulus Black, Marquess of Islington. Surely, Sirius was gravely mistaken. Had he much to drink before arriving at the ball? James couldn't recall.
His throat was thick with apprehension, the cravat his valet had skillfully arranged robbing him of breath. That man could not be Sirius' brother. He could not be, because he was Gabriel Tissier, a French gentleman James had met—and rather scandalously kissed—two years ago in Paris.
“Are you quite certain?” James said, voice strangled.
Sirius looked at him with an odd expression. “Of course, I am certain. He’s my brother.”
At that moment, Mr. Tissier—or Lord Islington—looked up and met James’ gaze. Recognition flitted across his face, accompanied by a dangerous tilt of his lips. Heat raced up to James’ cheeks. So, he remembered, too.OR
The Marauders and Co. cause chaos by being gay and scandalous during the 1843 London season.

Summary
James snorts. “I’d rather be murdered by a serial killer than have feelings for one.”
“He’s killed people?”
James doesn’t really know, to be honest. The Black family is a high-rolling crime syndicate at this point, shoddily disguised as a media conglomerate. He's not sure how much of a role Regulus plays since he’s still in university, but as soon as he graduates, he’ll take his rightful place in that den of vipers.
And one day, he will own it.
“The simplest answer is no," he sighs.
***
Nothing brings people together more viscerally than mutual hatred. Regulus Black would know.
Or the fic in which Regulus Black, after two years of estrangement from one meddlesome Sirius Black, agrees to accompany his brother and his brother’s horrible friends on a one-week vacation at a cabin in rural Norway, all in the glorious name of hatred (or is it love?).

Summary
The titans have won the war, the child of the prophecy was killed, and what remains of the demigod alliance is hidden underground. Many believe that the great prophecy was false, and that another will be revealed in time, but the sudden introduction of a new face throws everything into question all over again.

Summary
Eddie is made of shattered glass. Not like a mosaic - not something broken made beautiful. No, Eddie is all sharp points and jagged edges; he’s hurt everyone that’s ever tried to hold him.
But Buck…Buck holds him like it’s easy. Like there’s nothing else in the world he would rather be doing. He holds Eddie like he’s precious, cradling him between gentle hands with a kind of reverence that is usually reserved for something holy. Something god-like. And then Eddie catches a glimpse of him and Buck in the mirror next to Buck’s bed, and he thinks oh. He thinks maybe this is as close to heaven as a man like him will ever get.
So no one can blame him for wanting to enjoy it while it lasts.

Summary
London, 1927
Henry Fox has spent years hiding in plain sight. Living under a pseudonym — Dr. Edward A. Windsor — he’s become the toast of London’s archeological set; making history-breaking discoveries, publishing bestselling accounts of his travels, and securing a coveted teaching position at Oxford University. When the ambitious Dr. Claremont-Diaz arrives from New York University as a guest lecturer, Henry finds himself immediately drawn to the man, his research, and his knowledge. On a dig in Mexico and a race to disprove a newly discovered artifact, Henry realizes it’ll take more than giving up his real name to earn Alex’s trust — and love. It just might take giving up his whole career.

Summary
But Henry is the one who had called, not Alex. Henry is the one who broke their stalemate and reached out, despite being the one who’d ran away in the first place. It’s foolish and asinine and criminally cruel, and Henry doesn’t know who he’s talking about anymore.
Perhaps he and Alex are destined to do this forever; a maddening, all-consuming push and pull of two orbiting bodies that can only collide with devastating consequences. Henry has only ever found some semblance of religion in the caress of Alex’s touch, used to chase absolution down the dip of his spine and beg for salvation against the hollow of his throat. He’d never found what he’d been looking for.

Summary
Henry is the perfect prince: handsome, intelligent, and kind. The media adores him, and his family is the perfect picture of royalty. There's only one problem: Henry is gay and, against his better judgement, has been hopelessly infatuated with the First Son of the United States, Alex Claremont-Diaz, for years.
After a sickly sweet incident forces Alex and Henry together in a torturous PR friendship, Henry will learn that Alex is even more irresistible up close. Soon, Henry finds himself indulging in a relationship that's a scandal in the making—but he can't seem stop the budding romance between him and Alex.

Summary
“Do you reckon you’re going to be arrested for abducting a prince?” Henry asks, somewhat serious, considering Shaan had orders to take him somewhere completely differently than Austin.
Shaan barks out a dry laugh. He seems startled at the sound, and immediately takes a long sip of his tea. “I didn’t abduct you, Your Royal Highness,” he replies. "You asked to be taken elsewhere."
Canon compliant until the e-mails are leaked, this fic follows Henry (and Shaan) after Henry makes the decision to go rogue, ignoring his grandmother's orders and leaving the country. This fic is mostly Henry's point of view with the exception of the first chapter, which is from Alex's point of view.
Trigger warnings for this one are references to depression and suicide.
Now finished!

Summary
He remains silent at first, clearly unsure of what to say next. The temperature feels hot, he thinks, especially for the dungeon's standards. He feels as if he can see the air particles between them, perhaps even count how many separate them from one another.
It feels odd for him to be alone with Granger in the potions lab after all this time.
He catches the faint scent of strawberries and honey, reminding him to order the ingredients for his lesson on Amortentia for his NEWT classes next week.
