    Summary

    Lauren curled her lip. "What? Are you like, retarded?"

    "Yes," I said, unironically. "I have autism."

    The chatter of those sitting at our lunch table suddenly died and they stared at me with varying levels of discomfort.

    Jessica laughed nervously. "You’re joking, right?"

    I turned to her, staring somewhere above her shoulder. "No."

    Summary

    She pressed her hip into him. Pressure, solid and unapologetic, pinning him to the wall for one breath, right where his body had betrayed him.

    She didn’t look down. She studied his face instead, close enough that Liam couldn’t hide anything even if he tried to.

    “If you want me to stop, I stop. No problem.”

    He managed, rough, “Don’t stop.”

    ***

    It starts as a pub dare: make her smile. She doesn’t. She roasts him instead, and somehow that’s better.
    A story about control and attachment, care and hunger, and two expats in Prague making extremely bad decisions.

    Summary

    To the girl with the bushy hair and the hungry mind, the Hat says RAVENCLAW;

    To the boy with the scar and the ask of otherwise, the Hat says SLYTHERIN;

    To the sixth son who has already chosen the two others, from a chance encounter on a train, the Hat says HUFFLEPUFF;

    and Flitwick is delighted and Sprout is intrigued and Snape is resigned, to say the least.

    Or: Perhaps the trio is inevitable everywhere, but in this variation, none of them are in Gryffindor, and they do their best to build things anyway.

    Summary

    On Harry's 10th birthday, he falls gravely ill. So ill that the Dursleys, after days of leaving the boy in agony, are forced to take him to the hospital. When Muggle medicine fails, Severus Snape is the one to answer the call for aid. He soon realizes that all he has been told of the boy's 'pampered', 'loved' and 'spoiled' life have been utter fabrications.

    When Severus sees the depths to which Albus Dumbledore is willing to sink to play games with their lives, he decides he must protect the boy from the Headmaster, before it is too late.
