[madame-mongoose]

If there were a paleo pines portal au I think Glados would be a geneticist. She'd have two dinos, Atlas and Peabody, as her pets. She always remarks how she wants to study and splice dinosaur genes to make hybrids but can't bc it's "unethical" so instead she provides the player with rare seed samples she tampered with herself

My media this week (12-18 Mar 2023)

📚 STUFF I READ 📚

🥰👂‍The Secret Lives of Country Gentlemen (The Doomsday Books #1) (KJ Charles, author; Martyn Swain, narrator) - another knock out hit from KJC!!! I loved that most of the conflict was external - they had some shit to sort out but it was not drawn out excessively. Great sense of place. Really looking forward to the next book in the duology, but not because this one left me wanting. [audio narrator's voice was lovely-sounding but the pacing was TERRIBLE - very, very slow with drawn out pauses in the middle of sentences, just weird & annoying. I read it on 1.45x speed and it was just bearable but I mostly read it in text when I could]

🥰 All the Things Money Can't Buy series (Lys ap Adin (lysapadin)) - 62K series (45 main story, rest later vignettes) - Sheith modern sugar daddy AU, complete with a delicious 'snowed in together' section and a cute dog named Potroast 🐶

😊👂‍Death In Irish Accents (The Dublin Driver Mysteries #4) (Catie Murphy, author; Ruth Urquhart, narrator) - Megan just can't stay away from murders - literally opens with a body falling on Megan & her girlfriend while they are having coffee - absolutely love it!

😍Monoclonius (Zenaidamacrouras1) - 62K, stucky AU with single dad/environmentalist Steve & dino scientist Bucky - absolutely delightful, loved loved loved it to bits! Genuinely loved the OCs (including a very important stuffed trilobite; found family vibes off the charts (even outside of S&B)). Also there's a very decent amount of hot sex! THIS FIC HAS EVERYTHING.

😊👂‍Christmas at The Grange (Lady Hardcastle Mysteries #3.5) (T.E. Kinsey, author; Elizabeth Knowelden, narrator) - novella

💖💖 +70K of shorter fic so shout out to these I really loved 💖💖

Cross (lightgetsin) - Dresden Files: Dresden/Marcone, 33K - haven't read DF in years bc I'm well done with that canon but shout out to the inimitable @drunktuesdays, who threw this pairing onto my radar and 🤯🥵🤯🥵🤯

i'm here with a somewhat fun discourse once again just to feel try something /t1da

okay, i don't think that every atla au needs an avatar to be interesting, BUT i was rewatching atla and atlok when i was working on some commissions and i was curious to like, who do you see as avatars and how are them as avatars, like

from snsd i think Yuri would be the avatar, an air nomad but more like kiyoshi in beliefs (but not completely), she'd know her duty and justice but she'd still know how to have fun

from twice i can see chaeyoung being a very carefree avatar from the earth kingdom, living in a time of peace and doing whatever she wants

and i'm trying to think about someone who's an avatar like korra, not hotheaded, but a discredited avatar, the ppl of the four nations don't believe the avatar will change bc there's nothing to change

OKAY SO LEMME GIVE YOU A LIST HERE of the idols who would be the avatars from their group because I have IDEAS

Seohyun

Jihyo

San

Dino

Baekhyun

Sowon

Mark

[venusdeservedbetter]

Khr/Avatar AU

Plot bunny that just appeared in my head.

The previous Vongola bosses are the nine previous incarnations of the Avatar

Tsuna is the latest reincarnation of the Avatar, being a Fire Nation commoner

This is important, as the current Fire Nation prince (Xanxas) was the person expected to inherit the role

Obviously, this is bad for Tsuna, who is taken away by the Airbending prodigy of the White Lotus, “Reborn” (current name unknown)

(The Acrobaleno are the current version of the White Lotus)

They visit the WL base in the Western Air Temple to regroup, where Tsuna befriends a young Airbender girl named Nagi

Once they leave the base, Tsuna is attacked by a hired assassin (Hayato), who is quickly defeated and joins the party

Then, they visit the Northern Water Tribe, and meet the Waterbending swordsmen, recruiting the young Takeshi into their ranks

Them the second assassin, an eight year old with the power to Lightning-bend, attacks. Feeling the situation to be absurdly messed up, Tsuna adopts the little cow boy.

Tsuna then finds a flame lion, names it Natsu, and has him join the boyband as his Avatar companion

Other less fleshed out notes:

Ryohei is an Earthbender, specializing in a “boxing style”

Kyoya is a non bender, like Hayato, but is still highly competent

Mukuro is an evil/dark spirit that possesses Nagi, turning her into Chrome

Iemitsu is a member of the Fire Nation Army, but doubles as a spy for the White Lotus. He’s still awful.

Fire Noble Dino takes a shining to the young Avatar, and helps him with his firebending

The Shimon is also there, but I don’t have a solid grasp on them yet

[monxcarat]

ATLA X SVT AU: FIREBENDER CHAN

hes the emperess little brother, but hes fairly hidden cuz there’re a lot of people who oppose his sister ascending the throne

energy bender cuz hes cool

hardworking kid, he trains really hard to be a good firebender

decided he had to meet the avatar so he escaped the castle with seungcheol and seungkwan 

he was so disappointed when he met the avatar omg poor kid 

and jeonghan 

omg jeonghan

someone save chan from him

main post for this au // other firebenders: Seungcheol - Soonyoung

Sophie and Keefe babysitting? I think it'd make for an adorable au!

P L E A S E this would be so heartwarmingly goofy

It’s like when Amy is all grown up and has her own kids and she asks Sophie to come babysit for them so she can finally have a date night with her spouse

And Sophie is like “oh god....only because I love you”

And it isn’t because she doesn’t love her nieces and nephews because she does

But god do they have so much energy and it never seems to deplete; when one kid starts flagging, one of their siblings will rile them back up again

Sophie may be an elf with supernatural abilities but she does not have the energy to do this alone

So she asks Keefe to help

“Please? It’s just for one night. If we go I can make cool human food”

Yes cool human food is kraft Mac and cheese and Dino nuggets

Keefe is thrilled (“psh, they’re a few human children, how bad can it be? Anything for human food, Foster.”)

And oh, does Sophie love watching Keefe Sencen eat his words

And don’t misunderstand; Keefe has the time of his life with Sophie’s nieces and nephews

He goes the whole nine yards—he gives piggyback rides, plays the villain in their pretend game for the sole purpose of dying dramatically, does goofy dances, all of it

Is he exhausted after a couple of hours? Absolutely. Worth it? Absolutely

Sophie does what she always does and burns the food whilst trying to help one of her nieces with math homework

“Yayyy, Auntie Soybean burnt the macaroni, this means we can get pizza!”

All of Amy’s kiddos playfully tease Keefe when he orders pizza with veggies and stuff on it because he can’t stomach the idea of meat (“my mommy says vegetables are ‘rabbit food’, Mister Keefe. Are you a rabbit?”)

The kiddos groan goodnaturedly when Sophie insists on watching AtlA while they pig out on pizza, but they agree

Sophie snaps photos of Keefe passed out on the shoulder of one of her nephews, a box of half of a veggie pizza in his lap, and Imparts them to Fitz

“oH, jUsT a FeW hUmAnS! HoW bAd CaN iT bE?” is how Fitz responds

Sophie has the heart to wake him up when Amy and her spouse pull into the driveway so he can pretend he was Awake and Responsible the whole time

Amy Hails Sophie the next day and is like “well, guess who you’re bringing every time you babysit now?”

Because the kiddos won’t shut up about Keefe and how fun(ny) he was

Sophie imparts this information to Keefe, and she can’t help the laughter bubbling in her chest at the both pleased and terrified look he gets

» Hiraeth Chapter 8 || Haikyuu AU

❝They will learn how to fly.❞ – an AU where the kids of Haikyuu characters grow their passion for volleyball and face their problems.

Starring our OC’s Hoshi, Minami, and Leo! (don’t worry they’re as fluffy as our babies from Haikyuu but sprinkle in more angst)

Read Chapter 7 Here!

Black Swan

With the warm rays of the sun shining over the horizon, the gym glowed with the colors of the sunset. Leo positioned himself in the back, with the ball in his hands, gazing out towards the court. The eyes of the opposite team stalked him like eagles looking for prey, while Hoshi goofily smiled at him. The air was thick and tense, with the players’ bodies ready to spring onto the ball as soon it hit the air. Breathing in the warm breeze, calming his nerves, Leo raised his arm up, bringing his right hand back. He could feel everyone’s eyes on the ball, frozen in place as they waited for the moment when the ball would be soaring through the air. Leo twisted his body, raising the volleyball to meet his eyes. He swung his right hand to make contact with the ball, forcing it to race across the other side of the net. The court quickly came back to life as everyone moved into a different position. The breaths everyone was holding were let go in an instant, the breeze of the movement and the fresh evening air took over their senses. 

Leo recalled how his parents told him that the first point was the most important. 

“It can determine who will have an advantage… and you know make your opponents piss their pants if you’re scary enough!”

“Kageyama stop scaring the children!”

“Yeah, yeah.”

The ball flew towards the left side of the court followed by their setter rushing in to receive the ball. Leo silently applauded himself as he readied himself to react for a spike with his knees bent and arms outstretched in front of him. His eyes tracked the ball as he saw Hoshi bump it a teammate who jumped to spike it. Their middle blocker slammed the ball down, right into the hands of Dino. Bouncing off the tip of Dino’s hand, he called out, “One touch!” 

The team sprung into action as Ayama ran towards the side, bumping the ball towards Leo. His arms were raised in the air, his mind already calculating the different possibilities. It was only the start of the game so he knew it would be better to set to the left or right. Leo thought that Ayama may be blocked by Hoshi, but Leo wasn’t going to back down. “Take it as a warning sign, Hoshi,” Leo thought. 

Catching the glance Ayama gave, Leo’s eyes followed the ball slowly falling down into his hands. He then shot the ball off towards the left side of the court, where Ayama prepared a jump. Leo watched as Ayama flew into the air with his arms behind his head. Ayama seemed to be flying. Leo watched in amazement, wishing that one day he would fly in his own way. 

The ball landed in the perfect place as Ayama slammed the ball hard. The middle blocker barely reached Ayama as he threw his body next to Hoshi who jumped as well. It grazed Hoshi’s fingers, landing on the sideline. The resounding thump resonated throughout the gym, echoing in the silence of everyone waiting to hear the verdict. 

Leo stared at the line where the ball had landed. It seemed that time had stopped and everything was frozen. All he could feel was everyone’s presence, waiting for the coach’s call. His cloud of dark thoughts were surrounding him. Did I make it? Did I fail? But, there was one thing keeping him grounded. The happiness of finally being able to play was shining like the sun behind the dark clouds. He was on the court-- he was finally there. He was doing something that was special to only him, something Hisaki wasn’t able to do. Although it is as simple as one point, he would prove his worth to the team by scoring.

Atlas the coach called out, “Safe!” And Leo had let out the deep breath he was unconsciously holding in. His hands shook from excitement, giddy with the adrenaline beginning to flow through his veins. He looked up to see Hoshi staring at him, eyebrows raised out of surprise thinking Leo wouldn’t go for such a risky move. Leo only grinned back.

It was one point, but it was the first point and many more that would follow. 

Minutes passed as the sun disappeared beyond the horizon. Leo stood in the front row, his breaths labored with sweat dripping down onto the floor. He glanced towards the scoreboard and saw that both teams were neck and neck. He bristled with annoyance. Just when Karasuno managed to get ahead, Aoba Johsai would catch up. This constant going back and forth was making everyone tired, but their resolve never waivered, they were so close. No one broke the 20-point barrier, but Karasuno just needed two more points to finally reach it. Their setter set to their ace who ran forward, initiating a back attack. Rin jumped up but the ball flew past. Dino dove for the ball,  his arms outstretched trying to save the ball. It flew back up into the air towards Leo and he knew this was the moment he was waiting for.

Feeling the strength of the team on his back, he knew that if they pulled off this synchronized attack, it would bring them one point closer to winning. Quickly flashing the peace sign, determination flooded onto the court as the team began to run towards the net. Leo could feel everyone’s surprise, especially Coach Ukai who wasn’t prepared to see a synchronized attack today. But, of course, he grinned when he saw the team pulling through. Time seemed to slow down with the familiar feeling of Leo’s arms outstretched, waiting for the ball to come to him. Sparing a glance towards the opposite side, he knew their libero was subbed in so doing an attack down the middle wasn’t the best choice. When the ball landed in his hands, not wasting another second, Leo tossed the ball towards Ryu who already was up in the air. Aoba Johsai struggled to counter their attack as they jumped to block at the wrong people. Ayama’s hands slammed against the ball, the force whooshing the air around it as it landed with a giant thud at the back of the court. 

Hoshi and their libero, stunned, were unable to move against the force of Ayama’s power. The silence that followed erupted into cheers, everyone celebrating the newly gained point. Hikaru patted Leo on the back, exclaiming how exciting it was to see the enemy jump to block the wrong people. Leo was basking in his success and utter joy. He snuck a glance towards Hisaki carrying a frown on his face on the sidelines. Leo grinned, ignoring him and focusing on celebrating the successful synchronized attack. 

Now they were one point closer to victory. 

They continued, neither side backing down, each fueled by their own determination to win. Leo sensed the exhaustion from the silence that was interrupted by heavy breathing. Sweat dripped off his body as he quickly glanced at the scoreboard. They were back at their starting rotation with Leo situated in the back. 

Gritting his teeth, Leo tried to focus concentrating on their setter. The ball soared over the net, Rin stepped back, crouching, as he gracefully bumped the ball towards Leo. The ball flew towards Dino who prepared himself to jump, arms flying back and towering over their middle blocker. Leo watched as the ball fell towards the ground with a slam. He begged the ball to touch the floor, but sighed in anger as their libero dove for the ball. 

Cursing himself in his head, he turned his attention back to the game with Aoba Johsai preparing their counterattack. Quickly his eyes flashed towards the score, neck and neck again, two points away from winning. Dino ran towards Rin to help him block against Aoba’s ace, but Leo could only stand frozen when he felt the power behind the spike, grazing the air right next to him. Amazed at how strong their ace was, he could only stand there in shock. 

Being so close to winning, Leo barely noticed the fear that had taken root inside of him. The fear of how strong others were, the fear that maybe he didn’t deserve to be on the court. He sighed, now was not the time for the concern, he had to focus. 

“Sorry guys,” Rin sheepishly said. 

Dino shook his head, “It was my fault.” 

Rin’s gaze sharpened, “No, I could have blocked that, but I was scared.” 

Leo stood there, listening to his words admiring how he admitted his mistakes. 

Hikaru clapped Rin on the back, “At least you knew you did something wrong.” 

Rin nodded facing Dino, “Thank you for your help.” 

Dino turned away, “Just doing my job.” 

Through the eyes of Leo, the envy returned, gleefully eating away at him. He wished he were strong enough to admit his faults, but his irrational fear was eating him up. He thought the game was helping him chase away the dark thoughts but it seemed like they came back in full force. He knew the end of the game was nearing, along with the end of his time on the court. Katsuki was yelling from the sidelines, cheering on his teammates. 

Aoba Johsai needed one more point, and Leo knew he refused to let them get it.

The whistle blew, signaling the end of the game. 

Leo walked off the court in misery, dragging his feet. His mind returned to the dark clouds.

Sighing, his body fell against the wall to the surprise of Katsuki. 

“Yo Leo? You okay?” 

Too numb to reply, Leo felt Katsuki place a hand on his shoulder. “Hey you did great out there! Much better than the first game! We were so close to winning!” Barely processing the nod he gave to Katsuki, he could feel the dull ache in his muscles. 

“Is something wrong?” Dino asked when he walked over, sipping water while patting Leo on the head. Katsuki shrugged, staring at the lifeless body of Leo who buried his head into his arms. Dino crouched in front of Leo, “Hey, is something wrong?”

Leo slowly picked his head up to see the worry in their eyes. Plastering a smile on his face, he responded, “Nothing’s wrong, I’m just really tired.” 

Katsuki grinned, “I mean that was one long game, everyone did so well!” 

Coach Ukai called for everyone’s attention, as the team began crowding around him. 

Dino poked Leo, “Coach is calling, come on.” 

Leo replied, “You guys go ahead, I’m going to catch my breath a little longer.” 

“Okay~ Don’t breathe too much.” Katsuki responded as he jogged towards the coach with Dino by his side.

 Relieved to be somewhat alone, Leo placed his head in his arms, slowly inhaling, trying to let his body relax. He could hear the words of Coach Ukai, but he subconsciously drowned them out. Leo felt someone plop their body down next to him. And Leo’s body immediately tensed when the person  started speaking. 

“Is everything okay Leo?” Hoshi asked. 

Looking up, Hoshi was staring at him, worry evident in his eyes. 

Leo sighed, time to give another tiny lie, “Yeah, I’m just tired.” 

Hoshi raised an eyebrow, “It was one game, we played much longer than that before.” 

Leo sheepishly laughed, refusing to meet his eyes, “Did we? Man I really don’t remember, besides you guys gave us a run for our money!” 

Silence followed his response, seconds ticking by before Hoshi sighed, “My parents are gonna pick me up today, you wanna tag along?” 

Leo’s mind started to freak out, he really didn’t want to be stuck in a car with Hoshi after that game, but his body was so tired that he couldn’t resist it, “Sure.” 

The car was silent as Leo watched the mountains roll by through the windows. The dark sky glistened overhead, with the stars and the moon twinkling. 

Iwazumi was driving relatively fast and focused on the road while Okiawa occasionally shifted his eyes towards the backseat where they were seated. It was even more awkward with Minami who was in the middle between Leo and Hoshi. She was silent, her arms crossed, refusing to look at anyone. 

Leo watched her play with her fingers, a sign that she was stressed. 

Okiawa broke the stifling silence, “You guys wanna listen to music?” 

No one responded.

“Okay…” Okiawa said as he turned on his own playlist of Alien podcasts. The speakers blasted information on the 1947 alien spotting, while Hoshi rolled his eyes in response, but nevertheless relaxing when he heard something other than silence. Minami sent Leo a frantic glance, uncomfortableness evident in her eyes. 

“How’s school?” Iwazumi asked when Okiawa nudged him to do something. 

“It’s good,” Minami slowly said, drawing out her words. 

“How was your practice game?” Okiawa asked. 

Hoshi perked up in his seat, “It was really fun. Karasuno is so strong!” Hoshi turned to face Leo, peering around a frantic Minami, “You’re the same as ever.” 

“What’s that supposed to mean?” Leo whispered, his mind turned Hoshi’s words into threats. Hoshi’s grin faltered, confused at Leo’s reaction. 

“Your setting is on point!” 

Minami held her breath, unsure of what was going on. The air was thick with tension, everyone sitting in their own fears, uncertain of what to say next. 

The rest of the drive continued in silence with the sound of the intergalactic music occasionally playing in following each segment of the podcast. Thankfully, they neared their houses when the podcast ended.

 Iwazumi parked their car and Leo hastily scrambled out with Minami following right behind. The cool night air collided into Leo as he happily inhaled it all in. 

Minami bowed, “Thank you for the ride!” as she bolted towards their front gate. Leo quickly bowed as well, running towards their home, ignoring the confusion from the Hajime family. 

His bed was warm, the blankets bundled tightly around him despite the warm air of spring. The thoughts pressed in harder as his mind recounted the game from earlier, flashing in bits and pieces, followed by the car ride, feeling the anxiety that floated around him. 

It was one game, not even an actual game. He didn’t need to be so scared of one game.

It didn’t mean anything.

He would be okay… right?

I’m going to do a weird.

I know a whole lot of us are stuck at home due to the COVID19 outbreak and all our respective governments attempting to flatten the curve. So I’m going to break out my VAST library of fanfiction recommendations for you to read! Please bear in mind that my tastes in fics are not necessarily like yours so the following 15 Fandom reccs might be hit or miss. All ships and above T ratings will be tagged with brackets, all crossovers will be mentioned in those same brackets. Also, if I mention it’s part of a series, I’m not just recommending the fic I mentioned, I’m recommending the whole series. I’ve tried to recommend a different author’s fic each time. So! Let’s start with the 3 fandoms I mention in my blog description.

1) ATLA Fate Deferred (Zutara) Aang remains in the iceberg ten years longer. Sozin’s comet comes, the world keeps turning with no Avatar to save it, and by the time he’s finally found by a waterbender and her Fire Nation husband, a lot has changed. [Zutara established relationship full series rewrite; Now on Book II: Earth]  Cheating at Pai Sho (Canon Divergence) “You said you were the Avatar!” “…I lied?” Aang doesn’t get rescued in episode two, and no one’s seen him go glowy yet… so he starts bluffing. Hard. Or: “The Avatar joins Zuko’s quest to find the Avatar.” In which Zuko doesn’t join the Gaang, the Gaang joins Zuko.  The Undying Fire: Blood and Fire (First in the Undying Fire Series, eventual Zutara) Book 1. In which rescuing the Avatar from Pohuai Stronghold doesn’t end so well. It’s a tough life being a banished prince trying to get home, especially when the Avatar just wants to be your friend and keeps making everything confusing. Oh, and did Zuko mention he somehow healed the kid? Yeah, that happened. Stalking Zuko (First in the Stalking Zuko Series, eventual Zutara) Katara has developed a new hobby. At the Western Air Temple she takes to stalking Zuko. Much silliness and shenanigans follow. In chapter 20: Katara and Zuko return home to the others. Katara hates the F word and she comes to a decision regarding Zuko.  Embers (Canon divergence) Dragon’s fire is not so easily extinguished; when Zuko rediscovers a lost firebending technique, shifting flames can shift the world…  2) Percy Jackson and the Olympians The Father (Percabeth in the GFFA, eventual Anidala) It all started with a wish, but because it was Percy Jackson it couldn’t have been a friendly goddess granting him a wish. No, it had to be Nemesis, goddess of revenge and balance. Now Percy and Annabeth are stuck in a strange new galaxy right when an ancient and powerful darkness finally begins to stir.  Glass Figures (MCU Mashup) I lifted my gun, pointing it towards the minefield of shattered fragments, and kicked the small coffee table out of the way.Only to stare down at an awfully familiar face, which split into a somewhat lopsided grin. The intruder raised his hands in a mocking surrender. //“Long time no see, dude.” //I lowered the gun. “What the hell are you doing in South Peru?” //Or in which Clint Barton and Percy Jackson have a long personal history that starts in high school. All Together, Cousins (Canon divergence) When Thalia ran away with her toddler brother, Jason, she slowly gathered her cousins: she and her cousins being Big Three children. As Jason gets older and their motley group expands to six, Thalia resigns herself to the fact that she won’t always be the leader of the pack. As she accepts that, something more is coming, able to challenge even the gods above. A Crown of Golden Leaves (Historical AU) Annabeth, a Lady from the declining polis of Athens, must marry the Heir Apparent of Rome to save the rapidly expanding world from a threat even the gods couldn’t foresee.  Deluge (Percy in the Arrowverse) Barry has to deal with yet another Metahuman that Zoom has pitted against him. But this ‘Metahuman’ is an unwilling pawn in Zoom’s plan and really wants to find a way around killing the Scarlet Speester. But how can he when Zoom is holding something against him? 

3) DC Firework (First in the Sparks in the Dark Series) Orphaned and removed from the only life he’s ever known, Dick feels like there’s no light left for him in the world. His new benefactor, however, still sees something worth saving… Chronological beginning of the Spark in the Dark series.   Iron, Fire, Mirror-Glass After a brutal confrontation with Bane, Bruce comes away with a broken spine and the certainty that his days as Batman are over. An unexpected discovery offers him another chance—but at what price? The story of a man who risks his soul for the sake of his mission, the dangerous creature he names Robin, and the unlikely partnership that will shape the legend of Gotham’s Dark Knight.  Get Back Up There was a mole, one who played a long game. The team was betrayed, crushed. Robin nearly died. What are they going to do now? Only one chirped the answer. Get back up. WARNING: lots of talking, little action, many follow ups  Five Times …Five times Damian thought of Dick Grayson as his father, and the one time Dick thought of Damian as his son. Future-fic. YJ characters will show up later. Batman!Dick and Damian as Robin. With guest appearances from Jason, Tim, Cass, and Steph.  Unveiling the Mystery Series of one-shots about the team learning a little about Robin (Dick Grayson).   With all the fics, I heavily suggest you also read what else these authors have to offer in their archive.

And now here’s the plethora of other fandoms I read fics in under the cut!

4) Harry Potter The Horse (Mature) Looking after a Muggle animal should be easy compared to saving Hogwarts from Voldemort. Harry and Draco might disagree with that.

Dr. Helen Granger //…  …// He glances at the boxy too-uniform numbers flashing on the face of Richard’s radio. It’s nearly noon, and he should be getting ready to leave; but there is still a harsh tension in his shoulders and neck that he wants to work out before Hermione finds him. It is, after all, Tuesday; and while his Tuesdays were designated ‘tea with Helen’ days previously, they are now ‘lunch with Granger’ days, ever since the chance meet-up with the Weasel’s wife and the insufferable swot herself. Faceless (Dramione, Mature) New year. New love. New threat. A powerful enemy is on the rise, and Hermione Granger finds herself intertwined in a relationship with Draco Malfoy – only she doesn’t know it’s him. / / RUNNER-UP: Enchanted Awards Summer 2017 for Best Relationship Development 

5) Devil May Cry And the Rest is Silence (Mature) The destruction of the Saviour wasn’t the end.
