Summary
The entrance to Hell is hidden at the base of a large willow tree, a human-sized hollow tangled in its roots, ready to swallow you whole...
It’s 1976 and the events of the past term at Hogwarts have left their mark on all involved. But it’s a new school year now, with new teachers, new rules, and new regrets. Yet as the war clamoring outside the castle walls grows ever louder, the students inside will learn that some marks are impossible to wash away.
Dark Marks is the second book of The Last Enemy series, which follows the lives of the heroes and villains of the First Wizarding War from 1975-1981.
(Book 2 of 4)

Summary
When he spots her on the pool deck, her lips are stained as red as her swimsuit. Red like the popsicle she eats. Signed for with her dad’s club number at the pool shack, where they stock chips and popsicles and sodas for kids and rich teenagers with nothing to do on a Tuesday afternoon. She looks sweet, and he's going to ignore her until he can't anymore.

Summary
“‘I’m a Targaryen,’ he says finally, the words smarting along his tongue, even now. A need and an uncertainty all at once. ‘And she – ’ He stops, swallows. ‘She is nothing,’ he finishes tightly, the untruth a tremulous exhale as it leaves him.” - Jon and Sansa. Like the curve of the horizon, when the moon breaks from beneath its bow.

Summary
For years Sansa has ruled the North, wisely, justly, capably--and utterly alone. Everyone tells her she needs an heir; all she wants is a family. But after everything she’s suffered, there’s only one man she trusts won’t use her for her claim. Only one she trusts with her body. Unfortunately, she trusts him in no other way--especially not with her heart.
For years Jon’s hidden in the far north, choosing solitude over the people he loves, choosing self-exile as punishment rather than atoning. But then Tormund tires of his moping and drags Jon back to Winterfell where guilt and consequences and a tempting offer await him.
A story in which Jon and Sansa reunite after five years and enter an arrangement despite having unresolved issues between them. Post canon. (Not an arranged marriage fic.)

Summary
Sansa finds it difficult to look at Jon’s face, with its weathered lines and cragginess. It is the face of the North and a face that northerners trust; the face of Sansa’s brothers and her father, who had been loved and respected by their tenants as their forefathers had been when they were kings. How can Sansa feel anything but resentment, looking into that face and knowing that all of her years of hard work will never earn her the respect that that profile engenders within seconds?
But she does. It is a small, burning coal of something that must be smothered.

Summary
In the dark and honest part of her that Sansa is no longer afraid of, she had thought that Jon would die, and she was no sadder than she was relieved. In the months that she ruled Winterfell while the great war of men and wights waged around them, she felt herself growing into her power, sinking her roots back deep into the Northern soil. She enjoyed it, ruling. She was good at it. And at night, she had a wide bed and a door that locked and she was never cold. If Jon died in the war, she would miss him like she missed Robb and Rickon and Bran. She wouldn’t miss her husband.
Seeing him now, she notes the absence of the relief and joy that marked her first glimpse of him at Castle Black. Instead, she feels a too-familiar grief: my brother is gone.

Summary
It starts like this.
She's furious, anger hazing her mind and making her reckless. Reckless enough that she turns and leans across the center console and presses her lips to his. It's not a good kiss. Her lips are pursed tight, as tense as she is, and he's also tense, but she doesn't break it off and soon his eighteen year old boy brain seems to take over and he's kissing her back.
Ok, maybe it starts earlier than that.
Maybe it starts when an eight year old Robb brings home a skinny, sullen boy after little league hockey one day. He's quiet, but Robb loves him and from that day on, Jon Snow becomes a constant figure in her life.

Summary
Anthony narrowed his eyes and leaned his arms on the bar top. He tilted his head and said, very matter-of-fact, “You don’t like me.”
“Hmmm,” Kate tutted, pretending to think hard about it, “Decidedly not.”
“You don’t even know me!” Anthony countered, his nostrils flaring.
“I know you.” She shook her head and continued cleaning the bar. “You are not unique.”
“I’d love to hear what you have to say.”
Kate snorted, “I’m sure. I’m sure you love to listen to people talk about you.”
He rolled his eyes. “Go on, then.”
-------They meet. They fight. They get it together by the end.

Summary
She thinks of the scars she’s found on him over the last few weeks – a recent one from fencing with his brothers, an old one from a hunting accident when he was little more than a boy – the first expedition he had taken after his father’s death. The latter she had pressed her lips to the first time she had seen it, had tasted an old hurt and hoped to swallow it whole, leave him light and unburdened, and when she had looked up at him, his gaze had been wide, chest still, like maybe he was.

Summary
Five months later she has a sketchbook full of Anthony, 29, barrister’s hands, arms, and shoulders when Edwina calls her.
“Didi, you know Anthony, the guy I’ve been seeing? I’d really like you to meet him.”
And when she walks into the café, Kate sees a smile that really should not be as familiar as it is, directed at her sweet, innocent baby sister.
(Kate sees Anthony's bumble profile and finds it very pretentious. It does not stop her from obsessively drawing his arms though. Until he starts dating her sister.)

Summary
It starts in Italy.
It’s early September and the holiday had initially been proposed to be a sort of retreat, painting together, going to the museums of Florence to learn and gather inspiration. They do paint occasionally, but mainly they lounge around the villa’s little pool, drinking red wine and spritz, planning their days around where they should go for dinner.
It’s wonderful, and Kate can feel the tension of the last months, the job search, the decisions she had to make, easing off her. So when Benedict tells the group that his brother is going to drop by for a bit, she barely takes notice of it.
(Kate and Anthony have a holiday fling before she moves to Berlin. It's not the last she sees of him.)

Summary
“Would you like me to draw you?” she asks, carefully. Her voice is low. She’s not exactly shy, but something about this, this thing they do, still makes her blush sometimes. She can feel him tense on her lap. He brings one of his hands to her thigh and rubs it.
“Yeah,” he breathes. “Yes, that would be… good, really.”
(Pure smut, zero plot.)

“I’m just a better student,” Gilbert says, shrugging, and draping an arm around her shoulders and pulling her into him, snug, and kissing her forehead. “Though, how you managed to end with a higher GPA than me, I’ll never know.”
“It’s because I seduced you into idiocy,” Anne says, “my ulterior motive in dating you has worked perfectly.”
“I always knew you only valued me for the positive effect I could have in your class standing,” Gilbert says, shaking his head and clicking his tongue.
“Not the only thing I value you for,” she tells him, bumping his shoulder, “you’re also useful in reaching high cabinets.”
