Summary
And what does Ekko do when he feels haunted by her ghost?
His solace.
The one that keeps her with him even when she’s not actually there.
His fingers twitch in defiance. Just a few inches away, he gets her. Gets every version of her he’s ever known, and every way he’s ever seen her. Every captivating smile, every teasing glance, every rebellious middle finger she’s thrown his way.
He shouldn’t, he really shouldn’t.
But god help, he reaches for it anyway– almost against his will.
He opens his sketchbook– the one he’s kept of her for many years– going through the countless new drawings he’s added since she’s arrived. He doesn’t have to wait until he runs into her in the lanes for him to get a glimpse of her. And so, with every thing she does that he can’t get out of his head, he draws it, capturing the moment in the only way he knows how to.
Even ink isn’t permanent enough in comparison to the big ‘Jinx’ engraved in him.
(from ch. 8)

Summary
The inevitable came when a fresh set of tears finally streaked down Ethan’s cheeks, and how could Silver cling onto his self-serving anger any longer, when he should be cradling Ethan's face in his hands, dry his lover's tears one by one? Silver gradually closed the gap between them to kiss Ethan’s tears away, whispering, “Ethan…”
“Whoever said that ‘imitation is the sincerest form of flattery’ has got to be wrong,” Ethan confessed, and it was an agony in itself, to watch one of the strongest people in Silver’s life admit his woes like a Trainer whose spirit was broken completely by a devastating defeat; a compass whose lost all sense of direction, now that its mechanism was crippled.
Or: after facing a Trainer who cheated in a Pokémon battle by illegally copying the Sync Grids that solely belonged to his Typhlosion, Ethan was left with a bitterness that ran deeper than expected. Between his righteous anger and his boyfriend, Silver has to learn which hand that he needed to lovingly hold in this crisis.
This is a stand-alone fanfic.

Summary
Nothing in Mira's life had ever been blameless. It was always someone’s fault. Her brother’s, for being a coward, for putting Mira in the firing line to save his own skin. Her father’s, for thinking violence would make her the person he wanted her to be. Her mother’s, for telling her she wasn’t good enough, that she deserved it, for not protecting her.
Hers, for being too aggressive, too feckless, too difficult to love.
Celine’s, for every lie she’d told Rumi.
--
Being angry and protective is all well and good, but it's not always what people need.

Summary
Regulus Black died at seventeen, or so everybody believed.
Five years later, he’s dragged back into the world and dropped into the corpse of Hogsmeade.
The war is over. Voldemort won. What remains is something worse than war: a regime fed by fear where magic is rationed, and former students are trapped in a nightmare that never ends.
Some are enemies. Some are almost friends. Some are lovers. But all of them are prisoners of the same brutal, blood-greased system.
This is not a story of war, but a study of its aftermath—of old grief buried beneath years of lies, of truths traded like coin, of love growing like weeds through the cracks of a fractured world.
In this new world, loyalties are tested, sanity is threadbare, but the rules are cruelly simple: kill, obey, or disappear.
