Summary
See! All of that was normal. Expected. Unremarkable in the day in the life of two best friends whose favorite kid in the whole wide world was coming back!
Except Eddie was still smiling at his phone dazedly like the Cheshire Cat, so lost in joy, Joy, JOY, that the next thing Buck knew, Eddie was leaning in to kiss him briskly on the lips with an, "Alright, baby. Just lock up."
Buck froze. Dumbstruck as he stared after Eddie, who was distractedly rushing out the door.
"I'm sure Frank will set me straight. I'll be sure to let you know if I have any big revelations."
Or, Eddie has no idea he's shown his cards and Buck makes it his mission to get Eddie to allow himself to be happy.

Wounds That Never Show by Phoenix_Waves (BalancingTeaCups)
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling

Summary
"Draco wavered, conflicted. He had thought his deciding moment in the upcoming war would be whether or not he was actually able to kill Albus Dumbledore. Instead, it now seemed to all come down to whether or not he'd let an injured, addled brain Harry Potter wander off into muggle London alone."
When Draco witnesses Harry suffer an unthinkable fate at the hands of Death Eaters the summer before sixth year, all of his convictions are questioned as he steps in to save Harry's life. When they return to Hogwarts after the war, Harry and Draco both struggle to define themselves outside of the roles that everyone expects of them while helping each other heal from their respective traumas.

I Now Pronounce You: Blonded for Life by Phoenix_Waves (BalancingTeaCups)
Fandom Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
14 Apr 2022
Summary
Hermione described Chaos Theory once and, ever since, Harry can't help but wonder if butterflies can have blonde hair?
Harry's life is right on track with how things were "supposed" to be. The 26-year-old has just been made Head Auror, his best mates are starting their family, and Hermione's even on track to become Minister for Magic one day. There's only one problem: nobody knows that his "happily-ever-after marriage" to his Quidditch star wife has actually gone to shite. When Ginny disappears and their skeletons come to light, Auror Harry Potter becomes the prime suspect in her disappearance. Draco Malfoy's Auror pursuits were abandoned long ago along with their "partnership," but, when all else looks bleak, he just might be the only one who can help.
Draco Hearts Spice Girls and Harry Potter is a prequel that tells the undignified truths behind Draco's decision to give up his Auror pursuits, how exactly Harry got his reputation as "Auror Extraordinaire," and the tragic reason why they wound up the best partners they (technically) never had.

Sit Tight, I'm Not Far Out From You Tonight by hollanoved (louislittletomlintum)

Summary
"Is this like - a prank?" Shane finally asked, looking down at the underwear again. For such a small piece of fabric they felt like they were drawing their own gravitational pull in the room, had their own centre of gravity. There was a little heart charm on them, sitting in the middle front hem as a decoration.
"No," Ilya answered steadily, and when Shane looked back up his eyes were still locked on him.
"Then what is it?" Shane asked, touching the fabric again and dragging them a little to the side, like maybe they were hiding something that would make him understand.
"A present. For you," Ilya explained, in that bored tone like he'd said it all before. Which technically he had, but it didn't make Shane understand it any better.
Shane must have looked even more confused, because Ilya tutted and spoke up again.
"To wear, Shane, you have heard of underwear, yes?"
