    Summary

    Newly minted as the Heirs of the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black, Bellatrix, Andromeda and Narcissa are in for a surprise as they learn that their family's magical covenant dictates much more than they could have imagined.

    When Hermione Granger is recognized by the covenant as a bespoke match for the House of Black, the sisters try to resist, but they soon realize that the covenant, and Hermione, won't be satisfied with just one of them — they must turn the tide of the war and win over their witch, together.

    A slow burn featuring twisted canon events, plenty of sisterly dynamics, and suffocating sexual tension.

    Summary

    When Hermione runs into Narcissa Malfoy in Knockturn Alley before her third year at Hogwarts starts, little does she know that her life is about to get a whole lot more complicated. Fast foward to post-war England, and it turns out that Narcissa is going to be their Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher as she and her friends decide to return to Hogwarts for their Eighth Year. Will Hermione be able to survive the year with her heart intact? Or will they be able to figure out what they mean to each other—especially with an ancient myth meddling between them—before it's too late?

    Summary

    Since their debut, Mina couldn't stop noticing everything about Chaeyoung. How beautiful she looked when she laughed. Her dimples, the sparkle in her eyes, the mole below her lips. Her thoughts escalated from simple fantasies—holding hands, hugging her waist—to more intimate ones. What would it feel like to kiss Chaeyoung? To have Chaeyoung kiss her back? To have her underneath her...
    "No!" She shook her head, returning to the moment. Too embarrassed to think such indecent things about her bandmate.
    The feelings remained, along with the fear of rejection. The fear of consequences. So Mina kept them quiet—until Chaeyoung announced her solo album, and questions flooded her mind. What was it about? What—or who—had inspired her? Would there be a song about Mina?

    or

    Mina is an idiot in love but too scared to do something about it—until she hears Chaeyoung's solo album. When a song called "Girl" feels a little too familiar, she starts to let her feelings emerge, be seen, and known.
