    Summary

    A tracking spell goes completely wrong in Defence Against the Dark Arts, and somehow Harry ends up in another universe, eerily similar to his own except with one stark difference: he can, for some reason, smell everyone. And strongly.

    He might have been able to handle it, if his partner in the class hadn’t been affected by the spell as well, and ended up right there with him.

    He probably would have been able to. Except that his partner, of course, had to be Draco bloody Malfoy.

    And he smells fantastic.

    Summary

    It felt humbling to realize that he’d gotten too comfortable with the idea of spending almost every night at Roy’s, talking, debating, cooking together—it was a domestic life they cultivated, and one Ed took for granted all too soon. Roy would go back to Ishval whether Ed was ready or not.

    He warned his students against that often. If something can be had, it must also have the potential to be sacrificed, he told them with a thickness in his throat. If you cannot live without it, that’s what will be taken from you first.

    That is equivalent exchange at its core.

    Ed is a professor and Roy is a hero; they try to make it work.

    Summary

    And that’s the part that confuses him the most. Zuigetsu’s wrong for lying to her, but Maomao’s not being honest herself - to either version of him. She rejects Zuigetsu to his face, and acts like it means nothing. She tells Jinshi she’s interested in a sexual relationship with him, but she’s now touching Zuigetsu, of her own initiation. Even if he bore no responsibility in the Jinshi profile, her signals were still beyond mixed. Maybe she was only being as opportunistic as he was, when he swiped on her profile.

    Maybe what Zuigetsu’s done really isn’t all that bad. Not if they both get what they want.

    OR, Zuigetsu's been moonlighting as Jinshi just to get Maomao's attention, lying behind a fake dating profile. Things finally come to a climax.
