    Summary

    “I’m right here. And you are okay, and you are safe, and healthy, and you are at home, yes? It is quiet, and nobody is there, nobody is bothering you. And the world is full of stupid idiots, but you are not one of them. And I am here. When you need me, I am here.”

    ---------

    or: The whole world thinks Shane is gay because of some stupid internet rumors, and he doesn't even have to confirm it. He's losing control of his entire life and he needs somewhere to put what little he does have.

    Ilya has open hands.

    Summary

    There had been a tragedy. The Ottawa Centaurs' plane had crashed in northern Georgia, during the course of their flight from Carolina to Tampa. They didn't know much else yet. All NHL activities were suspended for the next seven days.

    Wait, what?

    At seventeen, Shane Hollander met the love of his life. At twenty-nine, gravity took him away.

    Shane wishes he’d died, too.

    Summary

    "I did. After MLH awards, in June. Oh, I did not tell him about Shane and me. But what he did, it was important. It changed things. For me, at least - maybe for us."

    On the night of the MLH awards, Ilya corners Scott Hunter on a quiet balcony.

    Summary

    Shrugging one shoulder far more casually than he possibly feels, Ilya says, “I like both. Is secret, okay?”

    “Okay,” Hollander says, voice cracking.

    He doesn’t say anything else. The air’s so heavy around them that it feels like being in the middle of a scrum, the weight and heat of all those bodies pressing down on you. Danger always feels like hockey; it’s the most dangerous thing Ilya knows, except for this. Everything dangerous in his life involves men’s bodies and just how close he can get to them. Closer than he probably should.

    Nobody knows why Shane Hollander dropped out of the 2009 draft at the last second, and a year later it stuns the whole hockey world when he's signed by the Boston Raiders. Having the two biggest stars in the league on the same line is great for Boston - but playing alongside their worst rival was never exactly in Shane or Ilya's plans. Especially not when staying away from each other starts to feel just as impossible as getting along.

    Summary

    Jacob Black doesn’t tell anyone when Jane Uley starts tutoring him.
    Jane has no one to tell anyway.

    Jane is Sam Uley’s younger half-sister—quiet, disliked, and an easy target in a town that has already decided who she is. Jacob is warm and wanted and still holding onto feelings for Bella Swan. Whatever he and Jane are feels real, but only in private: stolen kisses at the door, hours alone together, a relationship that exists as long as no one sees it.

    When Jacob phases and imprints on Jane, everything changes—but not in the way she hopes. Loving Jacob means being hidden, chosen only when it’s convenient. And as Jane is forced to confront what she’s willing to accept, she begins to realize that choosing Jacob may mean losing herself.

    Summary

    Twenty year old Nico has three loves in life: his drumsticks, his indie rock band The Supernatural Tuesdays, and the dream that someday they'll be more than just five kids jamming in a basement. When they land their first real gig opening for metalcore band Ill Met By Moonlight, it feels like everything is finally falling into place.

    Then their lead guitarist quits. Two weeks before they’re set to play their first festival.

    Suddenly, the biggest break of their musical careers is slipping away, and Nico is watching years of late-night practices and scratched-out lyrics crumble. But salvation comes from an unexpected source: Silas, the brooding lead guitarist of Ill Met By Moonlight. He's talented, intense, and everything Nico never knew he wanted in a bandmate—or in something more.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    astonishing. the author's done a beautiful, unbelievably complex job at writing this OC into existence: brave, strong, occasionally prideful, rash, vain, lovely, haughty, above all noble. and a wonderful job, possibly the best i've ever seen, at articulating slytherin politics, aspects of pureblood culture etc etc, not shying away from the darker aspects but equally not romanticizing them... and the Regulus/Ellis is beautifully done. possibly my favorite regulus i've ever read

    Summary

    Sirius narrows his eyes. “Is this a prank?”
    “No.”
    He considers her for a moment. It dawns on Sirius that Evans might not have forgiven Snivellus for what he called her last spring.
    “Revenge?” he asks, more interested now.
    Her eyes flick away, and she almost half-turns towards Slytherin. “No,” she says again.

    When Remus came back to himself, he was in the middle of the Forbidden Forest, naked, shivering with pain and with cold, and he could taste blood.

    or: a story of innocence, experience, and prejudice, spanning the summer holidays after Prisoner of Azkaban.

    Summary

    'It's not just Death Eaters that kill Muds. After the Second World War, the Muggle civil rights movements got started. Black rights, and feminism, and gay rights. We -- wizards -- we never had the sixties, because we just kept replaying the war, over and over again: Grindelwald in the forties, then Voldemort in the seventies, then Voldemort again in the nineties. I just hope this time it's really finished, and we can sort out our own fucking house.'

    Hermione is back at school after a summer in the Muggle world, and everything is changing. But getting closer to Harry doesn't get her any closer to the war - until she's unexpectedly enrolled in the Order of the Phoenix, and meets Hestia Jones, the founder of Mud Pride.
