    Summary

    Everyone is just trying to find their place after the war. Harry and his friends are no exception. Our favorite trio returns to Hogwarts for their 8th year. Ron still wants to be an Auror, Hermione has decided to pursue healing, and Harry... Well, Harry doesn't know what he wants to do.
    He shocked all of his friends when he announced he was going to testify in the Malfoys’ trial, and even more so when he privately studied complex magic in his free time. So why is everyone surprised that he keeps hanging out with these ornery snakes? And why is he surprised when he finds himself unable to stop thinking about Draco sodding Malfoy? Can't everyone see that he's just trying to find his place in the world? A world where he doesn't *have* to be the hero. A world where he gets to decide when to come running to the rescue.

    Or, Two huge snakes roam the castle and Harry has an identity crisis.

    Summary

    September 2028

    They’re out on a pretty ordinary picnic, absent-mindedly eating sandwiches (and Kenji downing a protein shake), when it happens. The mountains gnaw at the horizon, and the sun is crawling to bed beneath the soft, grey clouds. Ben slips an arm around Kenji’s shoulders, and Kenji instinctively nestles his head into Ben’s chest, listening to the sound of his heartbeat.

    And it's from there, Kenji’s safest place in the world, that Ben asks a question that changes his life forever.

    “Do you wanna get married?”

    And before Kenji can stop himself, he’s blurting, “No.”

    .o0o.

    Ben asks Kenji the most important question of his life... and Kenji asks one of his own.

    Summary

    May 2024

    Ben’s face hardens. “So you’re fine?”

    “Yep.” Kenji nods. The motion makes stars swirl in his vision, and he blinks them out of his eyes.

    “One hundred percent?”

    “And not a percentage number thingamajig less,” Kenji says with too much confidence.

    “Then get out of bed. Right now.”

    “Seriously?”

    “As a heart attack.” Ben gives a grim smile. “Now get out of bed, and prove that you’re fine.”

    .o0o.

    Ben has to take care of a (very) stubborn Kenji when he's sick. Disaster ensues.

    Summary

    August 2023

    Kenji is on stage, the crowd buzzing at his feet, yet all he wants is to sneak a glance at Ben behind his shoulder. Gorgeous, perfect Ben, the mid-afternoon sun outlining his slightly crooked nose as he adjusts the dials on his drumkit. Kenji’s sure those little parts have a name, but he can’t think for the life of him what they are. Ben probably told him, and Kenji was probably too busy staring at his insultingly cute little face to have paid attention.

    .o0o.

    The camp fam are performing at their local food festival, and Ben and Kenji join in to keep their minds off their recent... disaster. But the longer they wait, and the longer their feelings brew, the more they threaten to boil over. And God, Kenji just looks stunning on stage in the sunlight.

    Sequel to tell me is it worth it

    Summary

    June 2023

    Kenji’s heart has been crawling up his throat since Ben invited him on a picnic. “Just us two,” Ben said lightly, like those words didn’t kick Kenji’s heart up to the start line of the racetrack between his ribcage, and his loose–cannon mouth. Confessing the long–brewing feelings Kenji’s done his best to ignore since Italy seems inevitable, like a ticking time bomb in the corner of the bedroom they share now— and Kenji can only blush at Ben's every touch, and listen to the time bomb beeping, slightly faster, every night.

    .o0o.

    In which Kenji grapples with feelings that are getting harder and harder to ignore, and the sunset just makes Ben look beautiful.
