Summary
When the Ministry guts funding for her Muggleborn Integration Programme, Hermione Granger has three months and twenty days to conjure twenty thousand Galleons—or watch seven years of work die in its cradle. Legitimate channels are closed to her. Then Ginny Weasley proposes something deliciously scandalous: bottle sex memories, price them obscenely, and let wealthy witches and wizards lose themselves inside their pensieves. All Hermione needs is a wizard who can be trusted to stay discreet. Anyone but a stranger.
Enter Draco Malfoy—haunted by his two years in Azkaban and cold to nearly everyone. Counting only Theo and Harry as his closest friends. He’s spent two years orbiting Hermione at a careful distance, wanting what he shouldn’t.
What begins as a favour becomes something far more dangerous: the terrifying possibility of being loved—and, worse, forgiven.

Touching Sentiments by Chanse (SpottedEnchants)
Fandom Critical Role: Campaign 2 - The Mighty Nein (Web Series)
09 Jun 2026
Summary
The Mighty Nein are very comfortable with one another, boundaries established and reconfigured and settled well before Essek finally joins them.
Casual touch is a given with them; proximity was a necessity for safety in their early days. This, however, stands in stark contrast with Essek’s many decades. Walls, barriers, layers, space. Separation kept Essek safe.
It’s not that he hates touch, no. It had simply grown unbearable after so long without. Unexpected or held for too long, it burned.
And then they won him over, slowly, over time, as they are wont to do. Rather, he is one of them now.

Summary
Enemies. Partners. Fractured truths between them.
Years after the war, Hermione Granger has become the Ministry’s sharpest legal mind—hyperfocused, guarded, and driven to chase justice as if it might drown out the echoes of her trauma. She’s built walls around herself, determined to avoid distractions, especially from someone with cold grey eyes and a history as her childhood tormentor.
Draco Malfoy, once the boy who wielded privilege and cruelty, is now a dedicated Auror with a singular mission: to protect his four-year-old son, Scorpius, and shield his family from a past that refuses to stay buried.
When a new wave of dark magic forces Hermione and Draco to work together, neither is prepared for the friction... or the sparks. Somewhere between late-night meetings, accidental vulnerability, and a stubborn house-elf who seems to go out of her way to embarrass the oblivious pair, will their truths unravel into something terrifyingly real?
But healing isn’t linear. Trust must be earned from shattered pieces of the past. And falling for your former enemy, while haunted by ghosts neither dared face, may be the most dangerous battle yet.

Summary
“Jace!” cried the brown-haired boy, grinning sunnily at Jason. “You made it, finally!”
Jason returned the kid’s stare with far less enthusiasm and far more turmoil, though he attempted to conceal it. Wispy brows, shaggy hair, a spattering of freckles spread from cheek to cheek, and a roundness to his nose and jawline that would sharpen with age.
“… Peter?” he said cautiously and was rewarded with another toothy grin.
“Hi! You’re super tall now!”
Dick snorted and Jason shot him a glare. But he couldn’t keep his eyes away from itty bitty Petey for very long. It took the Bitsy nickname to a whole new level.
“I’ve always been tall,” he reminded Peter. “It’s just you’re even smaller than usual.”
On a routine patrol, Spider-Man and Spoiler are caught out by a new kid on the block. Now there are two more new kids on the block.
Jason is Not Pleased™️ with this development.
Compliant with 'Existential Crisis Mode' but can easily be read separately.

Synopsis
Parapet from Xaden and Lilith’s POVs.
Xaden
What’s this? My inntinnsic abilities pick up on something fun. I’m the most exquisite man she’s ever seen, eh? Clearly she doesn’t know who I am, or she’d be properly terrified like everyone else. Still, it’s nice to be admired without any prejudice for a change.
“Ready for the next one, Riorson?” Well, fuck. Way to spoil my fun, Garr.
I mourn the loss of those delicious thoughts, turning from lust to shock and finally, fea—not fear, anger. Interesting. Who—?
“You ready for this, Sorrengail?”
My pulse leaps. She’s here. Gaze snapping up, our eyes lock, and…
I have to remind myself to breathe.

Summary
Father Draco hadn't known what he was inviting into his parish the day he first met Hermione Granger. If he had, he never would've offered her the confessional—much less on his knees at the altar, praying into the heat between her thighs.
Or Draco is just trying to be a good little priest, and Hermione is determined to be on Father Draco's naughty list this year.

Summary
Sasuke doesn’t feel at home in Konoha. Naruto decides to build him a house.
Aka, there's nothing inherently gay about building your homie place to stay, right? Right.
---
"Hey."
Naruto’s voice broke through the stillness, warm and bright. Sasuke turned his head slowly.
He was standing just beyond the treeline, arms crossed, hair a mess, grinning like the idiot he was. The sunlight caught in his hair, made it gleam.
Like the sun, Sasuke thought bitterly. Always.
His heart stuttered. Stupid thing.

Summary
During the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry Potter walked into the forbidden forest, died, and walked out with crimson eyes as the new vessel of the Dark Lord. Since then, Hermione Granger served as an elite member of the True Order, isolating herself from other Order members and going on missions alone, not only haunted by the loss of her best friend, Harry, but Ron who had run away after the battle.
Three and a half years later, Draco Malfoy shows up with his two year old son on the Order’s doorstep seeking to switch sides. Together, Draco and Hermione are forced to deal with not only each other, but their own past and confront who they’ve become because of the war.

Summary
Medical school had prepared Anastasia for a lot of things. It had prepared her for a crazy schedule and no work-life balance. It had prepared her for late nights and long hours. It had prepared her for sutures and surgeries.
What it didn't prepare her for was being taken captive by strangers with wings.
It did not prepare her for a strange voice in her head.
It did not prepare her for pointy ears.
[In which a modern girl is thrust into the world of the fae.]

Summary
There were only a few things in life that Elara every really wanted: for her older brother, Rhysand, to finally start paying attention to her, to live a life free out from under the oppressive thumb of her father and marry the male she loved more than anything, and to feel the wind beneath her wings.
Only she didn't live to see any of that.
Taken near death, stripped of her memory, and given a new identity, she ends up on the wrong side of the war with Hybern. With every horrible thing she does in the name of the King of Hybern, she becomes more and more of the soulless monster that they want her to be.
Then, when a certain shadowsinger takes an interest in her, missing pieces start to fall back into place.
Will she ever be able to piece together the life that had been ripped to shreds that day in the Illyrian mountains? Does she even deserve to? Or is Elara truly gone forever?
