Summary
"After all, there was a hopeful chance that he didn’t like Draco - maybe he just admired him in a perfectly friendly way. Maybe he just platonically admired his angular face, the way it flushed so obviously when he was embarrassed, the way his grey eyes lit up when he genuinely laughed, his soft blonde hair and the way it looked when he forgot to style it in the morning, his wittiness and his weirdly extensive knowledge about potion ingredients, his annoyingly endearing snark...his - Fuck."

Or the one where Harry and Draco find comfort in one another during eighth year and gradually become friends, only for pesky feelings to become involved.

part of my "jon decides tim is the only person he can trust in s2" au but can be read on it's own
Tim jolts awake in Jon’s arms, chest heaving as he struggles to catch his breath. Jon is already awake, light sleeper that he is, and he tightens his grip around Tim with one arm, and with the other gently starts stroking Tim’s back. After a moment, Tim’s breathing slows and he opens his eyes to look at Jon. There’s no point in asking if it was a nightmare; they both know it was. It’s routine for them.
“Worms?” Jon asks instead.

Summary
“Okay, Julie? Hey, look at me,” Willie said, successfully catching her attention. She still hadn't let go of his wrist and Willie didn’t try to pull away either. His voice was oddly soft considering what was going on. “We’re not alone here.”
Julie shook her head. “No.”
“Do you know who’s here?” he asked her.
“No,” she said again, nearly desperate.
“But you don’t want us to find out,” he said.
“If we go upstairs,” she said, her voice steady, her stare piercing Willie, “we are going to die.”

Summary
“Don't ever speak to me like that.”
An eye roll and a small smile was Sparrow's only reply. He didn't fight back. He just let his chin rest on Nick's aflame sword, and continued to look up at Nick, letting his blood continue to flow freely. He looked just as good as the last time he did that.
“Why are you smiling? Why aren't you healing yourself?” Why was he displaying his injuries, the injuries Nick had created, for him to see? Red bloomed on Sparrows face as a bruise started to form on his sun kissed skin.
Blood dripping, smile widening, bruise blooming, he was perfect. Sparrow batted his eyelashes at Nick. He looked perfect. “Do you want me to heal myself?”
“...No.”────
Tensions rise as Nick and Sparrow are placed into a locked room for safekeeping. Feelings hidden under mountains of regrets and betrayals finally surface, and their burning anger can only last this long.
It was their choice if they'd burn each other down to the ground, or let their embers finally calm. -

Summary
Carl's pretty sure he isn't the kind of guy most people want to spend time with. He knows he's a little odd and a little too much, and carries around just enough emotional baggage to make everyone else uncomfortable. He's spent most of his life getting by with just himself and his platypus best friend and so far, that's worked perfectly fine for him. That is, until an unfortunate series of coincidences pulls him and Paul together, forcing Carl to realize this stranger might be different than most people. Unfortunately bad decisions on Monogram's part bring back a shady figure from Carl's past. Will he be able to find the voice to stand up for himself? Would anyone still want to be around him if he did? Will he ever be able to get the paperwork done?
This story follows Carl's journey in discovering his own self-worth and processing a difficult period of time in a 3rd person, past-tense POV. Contains a brief depiction of past sex with dubious consent, as well as mentions of stalking. It does have a happy ending, and a good bit of Carl/Paul fluff because Carl deserves more love and I intend to give it to him.
(Please don't ask why Carl/Paul. It was a joke at first but bro, I don't think it's a joke anymore.)
