Summary
“What are you doing here?” Albus repeats, turning to Karl. “I thought you were at that party?”
“I was,” Karl says, relaxing further into the carpet, “but it was boring as fuck. I realised I’d rather be here.”
“In my house?” Albus deadpans. He highly doubts that his room is anywhere near as interesting as the party Frankie is throwing while his parents are away.
“With you.”

Summary
“You are looking for trouble.” Albus jokes weakly, leaning back.
“I’ve been trying to,” Scorpius answers, refusing to play along like he has been suddenly, he doesn’t laugh or flirt or draw closer, just looks at him, “it seems to have been avoiding me though.”
“I haven’t been avoiding you-”
“Yes, you have, Albus,” Scorpius interrupts, “ever since the others arrived you’ve hardly spoken to me. Why?”
Albus ducks his head. Looks at his shoes in the sand. “You know why.”
OR: Polly decides she's been waiting long enough and she thinks Albus and Scorpius have too.

Summary
“So?”
“So what?”
“So,” she presses, undeterred, “are you going to ask me to Hogsmeade?”
Yann squints at her, as much as he clearly wants to keep a straight face, he’s failing. He’s never been good at hiding a smile, not one that he means.
“Nah.”
OR: Polly asks Yann to ask her out.

Summary
“Give me a hickey!”
Albus drags his eyes over Karl’s wide, frantic gaze and flustered appearance.
“I’m not giving you a hickey.”
“I will never ask anything else of you for as long as we both live if you give me a hickey,” he gestures to the wide span of neck just below where his brown hair curls beside his ear, “right here, right now.”
OR: Karl wants to make Matt jealous. Everyone else wants him to make it to the end of the party.

Summary
JAMES: No it’s not fine—God, Oliver it’s not fucking fine. Every time I imagined this it was better.
OLIVER: [hurt] Well—
JAMES: No, stop, I didn’t—I mean I was better. I mean, when you showed up, I was going to be happy to see you—
OLIVER: You’re not happy to see me.
JAMES: Oliver—Oliver no, I’m happy to see you, but I’m losing my mind so bad I shouldn’t even be on the road, Oliver, and I was going to be okay.
Oliver tracks James down, but figuring out what they are to each other now is difficult, terrifying, and complicated. AKA, another reunion fic, featuring high levels of guilt and angst.

Summary
“I need a drink,” Kaz said.
With that, Jesper could agree. “Lead the way.”
Kaz took one step and froze, swearing under his breath. Jesper followed his eyeline, his blood turning to ice when he saw what—or rather who—Kaz had noticed across the room.
OR: After running away three years ago to Novyi Zem, Jesper finds himself back in Ketterdam. He agrees to pose as Kaz’s date for a job and has an unfortunate run-in with a certain red-headed ex.

Summary
Wylan forced a smile. He felt childish, too. Stupid. He’d been with Jesper for years. They were happy together, truly. They didn’t need a big party with flowers and music and cake to prove it. They didn’t need a contract —a silly piece of paper, meaningless signatures— to validate their relationship.
It wasn’t like he’d be able to read it anyway.
OR: a wesper wedding fic. light angst, but a happy ending is guaranteed!

Summary
That makes Jesper laugh, suddenly very amused. “You offering me a job, sweetheart?”
“No,” Wylan replies, a little brusque. “I’m offering you a glorified holiday to keep me from dying of boredom the next time my father sends me off to the middle of nowhere, and a ride on a private jet.”
From the sounds of things, Jesper is certainly being offered a ride of sorts.
///
The first time Jesper meets him, he doesn't recognise Wylan Van Eck. It's a wonder, actually, considering how many posters and perfume ads the perfectly manicured merchling is in. After he sees him once, though, it becomes hard to ignore the man's presence - and when he makes Jesper an offer that's too good to refuse, well... that changes everything.

Summary
Alex notices this guy the moment he walks in. Which implies that he hasn’t noticed the guy before now, which isn’t true at all. He’s seen him around. He - like everyone else - has stared at the guy’s eyes and waist and thighs and fucking Disney prince swoopy hair.
Alex is really used to hitting on people and getting the outcome he wants.
Or: Lax bro Alex wants Henry
