Summary
To truly know someone is to differentiate between who they once were, who they are now, and who they're capable of being. Hermione realises the duality of one man as she rectifies what she knows of the past and begins to understand the pieces of who Draco Malfoy is now: a father, a son, and a man.

Summary
Draco Malfoy thought he had reasonable expectations for his mandatory Eighth Year at Hogwarts, where he would be confined to the grounds as part of his probation. Isolation, hatred, and passing his NEWTs were really all he had in mind.
What he wasn't anticipating:
1) Having a small firstie latch onto him like a bloody koala
2) Said firstie adopting an erkling as if they didn’t feed on children.To protect his little nuisance, he’ll have to seek help from uncomfortable places, including the Swottiest Witch of Her Age. Joy of all joys.

Summary
The sprawling mountains of the Romanian Dragon Sanctuary offered a perfect chance for renewed self-discovery. Lush landscapes. Majestic beasts. It was intended to be Hermione’s escape. Except, she hadn’t been alone in that plan.
Four years had passed since she last saw him, and to her knowledge, no one else in Britain had either. Rumours had sprouted like plants under a Herbivicus Charm after he failed to return for the second half of their final year at Hogwarts. Even Hermione hadn’t been able to resist the question in nearly every student’s mind: Where had Draco Malfoy gone?
Apparently, she now had the answer.

Summary
It’s not until she’s brought a basil and strawberry sponge cake to Neville Longbottom and his new girlfriend, Hannah Abbott, a dozen rhubarb hand-pies to Luna and Xenophilius Lovegood, and another basket of ganache-covered muffins to Dean and Seamus, that Hermione admits to herself what she’s actually doing: she’s making a thing of this. It’s a veritable PTSD tour. With pastries. And hand-skimmed clotted cream. And she has no idea why she’s doing it, but it’s becoming very apparent that she is.
Sometimes you're sad. Sometimes you need dessert. And sometimes, it's a little of both.

Searching for Erebor by paranoid_fridge
Fandoms: The Hobbit - All Media Types, The Hobbit (Jackson Movies)
18 Feb 2015
Tags
Summary
Bilbo Baggins, respected professor of anthropology with a somewhat odd interest in cultural geography, finds himself spirited away to support the wealthy oil magnat Durinson's quest for Erebor. Which, as far as Bilbo knows, is a myth so obscure it hasn't even gained traction with the tourism industry. However, Thorin is in possession of a very curious map and Bilbo just cannot say no to a good riddle.
Especially when it appears that there are others that would rather Erebor remained unfound.Written for antisafic's art prompt for Hobbit Reverse Big Bang 2014.

Everyone having a hard time coming back after Sherrinford. Absolutely beautiful Mycroft, protector of Sherlock. Struggling John Watson and adorable Rosie. All ends tied up. Lovely and slightly painful.

Summary
"Bilbo never bothers denying that he is a slight, little bit, probably infatuated with Thorin. It’s not something that bothers him. Really. He’s pretty sure that everyone very likely has a little flutter in their chest for the dwarf. He’s something grand and unattainable.
And it’s really much safer if it stays that way."

Summary
One of the first things John did was to write up step-by-step instructions on how to conduct a proper job interview before handing it over to Mycroft for his perusal. There were no kidnapping, deserted car parks or stolen therapy notes anywhere on that list.
(Or the one where John returned from the war and ended up working for Mycroft as his personal assistant slash doctor on retainer. Everything was fine, until he was sent to post bail for one Sherlock Holmes.)

Summary
“Jaskier? Jaskier, are you—“ Geralt trails off as his eyes scan the room, landing on the middle of the bed where Jaskier is curled up into himself. Geralt sighs because of course he knows what’s going on immediately; he’s a smart bastard, after all. “Fuck.”
-
After flouncing around with the wife of a sorceress, Jaskier is cursed into a mutt of a dog. Geralt isn't nearly as worried about this sudden problem as Jaskier thinks he should be.

Summary
The only plot here is these two dummies seeing more in each other than the world does and falling madly in love.

“What I want to know is,” Jaskier continued. “has anyone ever...taken care of you?”
“Taken care of me? Of course. That’s what I pay for after all,” answered Geralt.
“No, no. I don’t mean orgasm.” said Jaskier. “I mean. Taken care of you. Taken you. Have you ever utterly surrendered?”
“You and your pretty words,” said Geralt. “Be plain, Jaskier.”
Jaskier said. “Fine. Has anyone ever fucked you until your toes curled?”
Geralt was still and thought a moment before he answered. “That isn’t usually what people want from me.”
“Yes, but people are tragically unimaginative. No one is only one thing. Least of all you.”
“I suppose that’s true,” answered Geralt.

Summary
The problem, Bilbo would later tell Gandalf in aggrieved irritation, was not so much the unannounced visitors, oh no, but the fact that due to the lateness of the hour and sheer merciless fate, it came to be that at the respectable age of forty, Bilbo was being introduced to a real, live king while wearing striped pyjamas and fluffy slippers.

Summary
“Tell me, what sort of music do you listen to?” Thorin asks him, raising an eyebrow. “Do you prefer glam or thrash?”
“I—what? Simon & Garfunkel is my favorite band. I like The Smiths if I’m in a bit of a strop, Bowie if I’m feeling adventurous, I suppose,” Bilbo answers, aware there might be a note of snark coloring his words because, well. He was set up, meant to sound like a fool no matter how he answered, and he does not appreciate rude conversational traps like that. He does not appreciate anything about this situation. He does not appreciate the small, crooked, tight-lipped smile that flashes across Thorin’s face at his response, and he does not appreciate the way it makes his stomach drop.
or,
After his eccentric advisor deliberately botches Bilbo's housing application, he is forced to sublet a room with thirteen metal heads living in a condemned frat. He barely expects to survive the journey, let alone fall in love.

"Thank you for listening," Thorin said, getting to his feet. "I hope to be able to return the favour, one day."
The man on the bed didn't respond, but since he'd been in a coma for longer than Thorin had known him, that wasn't entirely surprising.
