"You've always known, I think, that I am a dangerous man. And now you know that I am a foolish, wicked, and cowardly one. How can you possibly want me now that you know me?" 
**********
It's 1943, and both the wizarding and Muggle worlds have exploded into war.  Eighteen-year-old Minerva McGonagall is brilliant and talented, with dreams of becoming the first witch in the Auror corps. Albus Dumbledore is famous, powerful, and haunted by his dark past. Their attraction to one another is unthinkable, inevitable, and dangerous, especially with Tom Riddle watching from the shadows.

As their paths cross again and again, their lives change in ways neither anticipates, and they find they must confront the man who will become the greatest threat the wizarding world has ever known.

"'What have you done?' Severus asked hotly. But when a carnal sob left her and he met her harrowing gaze, he felt sorry for Elora. She was just a girl, a girl who had made a mistake that had cost her everything. Memories of the war flooded back to him. There was no way for him to sufficiently answer all of the questions that Elora would ask. The truth would break her. She didn't remember for a reason, and he wanted so desperately to keep it that way." Elora Townes is a 7th year Slytherin, looking forward to restarting her final year at Hogwarts after the brutal destruction of the war. She finds herself anticipating this to be the best year yet, with friends by her side and a fire in her heart. That fire soon turns to something else as Elora navigates her complicated relationships with friends who are not so friendly, as well as some of her once-feared superiors. One small mistake pushes her to make life-altering choices as her fate slowly slips into the hands of others. With her control over herself lost, Elora falls into the hands of the Dark Lord, who is more than willing to put her gifts to great use. She finds herself having to face some pretty fierce consequences. This spicy story contains mature themes, such as sexual content, substance use, and violence. This is a Main Character x Snape, Draco, and Lucius story. This story was edited a redone as of 2/5/2024 and is ongoing unless noted otherwise.

"now, when we kiss, i have anger issues" OLIVIA MURPHY needs a fresh start. With her father in prison for a crime he claims he didn't commit and everyone at her old station acting like she aided and abetted, Liv can think of nothing better than getting the hell out of Philadelphia, and Los Angeles is calling her name. She's paired with an LAPD legend, Sergeant Athena Grant, a no-nonsense field sergeant who has only ever had one partner before and isn't happy to gain a mouthy twenty-eight year old as her next. She's sure Athena hates her and will do anything to get her out of her hair, even setting her up with a vulnerable widower in her new husband's firefighting station. The last thing Liv wants in L.A. is a new boyfriend to inevitably let her down, but damn, he's got a great ass- and what's a little bit of fun? EDDIE DIAZ needs a fresher start. Only a few months after his soon-to-be ex-wife's death and his family is still reeling. Eddie and Shannon were a thing of the past; they had reconciled any bad feelings and realized their love for each other was platonic years ago, and even though he didn't love her like he thought he did, his son still lost her mother. He isn't looking to date anyone- but Athena's new partner makes his heart race, and he needs a new outlet. When a tsunami and a lost son sets their paths on a collision course, Liv and Eddie find themselves asking- how casual can they really be? s3-s5 : eddie diaz x fem!oc s5-s8: buddie x fem!oc fox/abc's 9-1-1

In a world ruled by legacy, two women are forced into a marriage neither of them wanted... but fate might have other plans. Orm Kornnaphat is a spoiled heiress - fiery, dramatic, and used to getting her way. She's the rebellious daughter of a powerful food export empire, more interested in stuffed toys and late mornings than boardrooms and responsibilities. When her family forces her into an arranged marriage, she's furious - especially when her bride turns out to be the mysterious stranger who once helped her on a night she can't even remember. Lingling Kwong is the definition of composed. Cold, calculating, and beautiful, she's the only child of the Kwong business dynasty and a boss feared by everyone - but apparently not including her new wife. For Ling, obedience is survival. She's always done what's expected of her, even if it means marrying a bratty stranger for the sake of business and family pride. Thrown into a high-profile marriage neither of them asked for, Orm and Lingling become unwilling partners in a game far bigger than themselves. From chaotic mornings to silent car rides, office wars to stuffed toys invading private spaces - they're learning that hatred, annoyance, and sarcasm might just blur into something else when you're stuck in the same home, same office... and the same destiny. Love isn't part of the plan. But fate? Fate doesn't care what they planned.
