Summary
What happens when you’re forced to become the very thing you despise?
Ex-Auror Harry Potter, tossed out of the Ministry for something he had no control over, has been looking for a way back to his former life. When he comes across Draco Malfoy in the criminal underbelly of Wizarding London and in need of protection, Harry figures bringing him in to face the Ministry's justice is his ticket back to everything he's lost.
But nothing is exactly as it seems. Not even Harry himself. And as he gets drawn further and further into Malfoy's world of honour and deception he finds himself questioning everything he thought he knew—about his childhood nemesis, the Ministry job he misses so much, and most of all, about himself.
What happens when you’re forced to see that you were wrong?

Summary
Harry is all set to go on the first holiday he’s ever planned, his honeymoon, to the beautiful French Caribbean of La Désirade. A stunning tiny island that is literally called The Desired, how perfect is that for newlyweds to enjoy romantic time together after their wedding?
The only problem is that the wedding never happened…Harry decides to go anyway. He’s already paid for it and right now escaping the country seems like a very good idea! Two weeks of beaches, swimming, cocktails, sunsets, boat trips, massages… Definitely sounds better than sorting out the mess that is his life after Ginny left him at the altar.
Except that when he gets there he has to try and explain to the receptionist that he knows he still has to pay for the Honeymoon suite but he’d really rather not sleep in it. Surely there is a spare standard room he could stay in instead?She is not very helpful at all so he asks to speak to the hotel manager.
The last person he expects to step out from the office and try to recover his holiday in paradise is Draco bloody Malfoy.- Language:

Summary
September 1997. Hogwarts is under the regime of Voldemort and the Carrows. Finding himself alienated by both his friends and his supposed enemies, Draco puts quill to parchment, and writes letters. He addresses them to the only person he can think of, as Hogwarts rapidly falls into chaos and ruin: Harry Potter. He goes to great lengths to ensure the letters are never discovered, and he’s pretty certain he’s done a great job.
Until the day of his trial.

Summary
Eddie Munson doesn't mind working at the Family Video Store. It's a nice sense of normalcy (not to mention money) and he gets to see Robin more because of it. However, between working together and sharing the same best friend, he's also been seeing a lot more of Steve Harrington.
He wants nothing more than to enjoy mindless fun with his friends now that everything with Vecna is over, but Eddie's finding it hard to move on from what happened. Even if the strangest thing in his life right now was simply the fact he and Steve Harrington might actually be friends.
