Summary
“What’s she like?”
Alicent sighs. “I do not know. We were friends many years ago.”
At least, Alicent likes to think they were friends. But the princess was always sporadic with her attentions— quick to grow bored of things, discarding the old in favor of the new. Alicent supposes that’s what happened to her, as well. She had written letters, those first few moons after she returned to Oldtown.
The princess never responded.
—
The king is seeking a husband for his omega daughter, so countless lords send their sons to vie for the hand of the future queen.
Alicent is not a son. She is not a knight. Her presentation was surely a mistake, one that’s cost her everything. Now she is her brother’s squire, accompanying him to King’s Landing as he competes for the princess's hand.

Summary
Rozanov cocked his head. “You speak Russian? Or just the curse words?”
“Yes, I speak Russian,” he snapped, defensive and angry. He knew that it had been a mistake to even try to be friendly with Rozanov. “Why? Do I not look Russian to you?” He scoffed.
“No, not really,” Rozanov said. Some of his teammates laughed, although they mostly looked surprised that Shane was speaking to them at all. Rozanov didn’t laugh, though. “Are you Russian?”
“Go fuck yourself.”
+++
Despite an inauspicious start, when Russia’s Ilya Rozanov learns that Canada’s Shane Hollander is fluent in Russian at their first World Junior Championships tournament, it changes everything and sets them on a different course. Instead of being branded as rivals from the very beginning, Ilya and Shane start off as friends.
And, after all, a little friendly rivalry never hurt anyone, did it?

Navigating his relationship with the coven feels like he’s stumbling around blind.

And it turns out that Byungho wasn’t the only butcher at the Greyhill Academy after all. Something bigger is in the play, and if Jungkook isn’t careful, the choices about his future will be taken out of his hands.

Summary
Jungkook thought he would be entering the Greyhill Academy as a necromancer and a member of a High House. Instead, he’s entering it as an unnamed kitchen witch more than 300 years later. The magic of the long-forgotten Time Witch Dynasty that had made it possible saved his life, but now he’s stuck in a time that is not his own and surrounded by witches he can’t trust - starting with his roommates, who happen to be descendants of the witches who had orchestrated his family’s downfall.

Summary
"Money is for people who can't do their own spells," Ron said, because it was true, wasn't it? How could you possibly need for anything, when you had the universe at your fingertips? Why would you ever pay for anything, when you could just magick it into existence yourself?
It was as Mum and Dad had taught him since he was old enough to understand what they were saying: There was no rich or poor, just magic, and those too incompetent to use it. The Malfoys came with the Normans, and the Blacks with the Anglo-Saxons, but the Weasley clan remained the oldest on the Isle of Britain and would remain so long after the others had turned to dust.
(In which the Weasleys practice more forgotten dark magics than the rest of the old pureblood families combined, and somehow get away with it.)
