Summary
Augustin knows a good deal when he sees it, and he’s not stupid enough to waste a lovely fucking flat just because his flatmate doesn’t want to wish him good morning. And other than not being chatty, he is a paragon of housemate-ly virtues: he never leaves a mess in the kitchen, never plays loud music or watches TV in the living room til 3 in the morning, or has loud annoying sex on the other side of the wall. In fact, he is, apart from the absolute refusal to engage with Augustin, the perfect flatmate.
Just Like Heaven AU.

Summary
David has always been a jealous man. So it is to be expected, though he would never admit to it aloud, that when he first sets eyes on Eoin McGonigal, his honest reaction is vile envy.
"You're alive," David manages.
"So are you," Eoin says. "I take it your parachute survived the drop this time, sir."
OR: Eoin survived the fall, Eve did not, and David will go mad if he has to spend one more day in a prison camp.

Summary
Maybe it’s only right that he finds himself in Belfast, a city tense with the start of something that promises bloodshed. His da, God rest his sweet soul, was a life-long Orange Order man, so this should be the perfect opportunity: the war Paddy was born ready for and something to fucking do.
The trouble of it is, Paddy hates the RUC, and he’s already been barred from most of the pubs in East Belfast.
OR: Paddy Mayne doesn’t care for sectarian politics, at least, not until he meets a certain Catholic boy who loves to court trouble.

Summary
This man is a bully. This is his first impression of Captain Paddy Mayne.
Though, that is not necessarily true.
His first, first impression is, well, that this man is slight. He’s slight, and unkempt – the latter of which he attributes to the harsh living conditions of the desert and the former of which amuses him to an extent.
Now, being the learned man that he is, he knows that looks can be deceiving, that he should be above judging a man before they’ve even spoken. And yet, nothing about Mayne strikes him as particularly threatening. And then - then the man opens his mouth and Augustin knows he's in way over his head.(or: What if Augustin stuck around and what if there's more to Paddy Mayne than his overt aggression)

Summary
“And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, slouches towards Bethlehem to fucking bitch me out.”
“Hullo, Paddy. You’re looking well.”
Or perhaps he simply looks like the version of him Bill used to know – clean shaven and sun-blasted – and maybe, after all this time, there is a kind of comfort in that.
--
Or: after one of David's hiking trips ends in disaster, Paddy and Bill would be glad if they never crossed paths again, only to run into each other years later.

Summary
“Who. The fuck. Are you?”
“Uh.” Bill scrambled to his feet then stood there, failing entirely in his efforts not to stare. “I’m Bill Stirling. David Stirling’s older brother. David sent me to fetch you.”
“Fetch me?” Paddy Mayne’s gaze raked over him, trailed slowly from his face down his body then back up to his face again. His eyes—deep blue, sharp and intelligent—met Bill’s. “Aye,” he drawled. “I reckon you could.”
Then that beautiful mouth curled into a smile
Oh, Bill thought. Oh no. Oh, fuck.Paddy and Bill drive the length of the UK, from Cornwall to Scotland, on their way to David's wedding. Numerous circumstances befall them along the way, including, much to their annoyance, falling in love.

Summary
First, he stretches. Then, he exercises. He eats breakfast, and watches the street he lives on come to life -- the old man and his corgi, the baristas at the coffee shop, the woman who jogs, the daughter and father, and the Indian grocer all making their appearance. Then, he showers, shaves, dresses, and heads to his job as an Auror, where he has been on desk duty ever since he was pulled from the field because of The Incident.
Draco lives his life by his Ministry mandated Mind Healer routines, and he is trying to get back to being Potter's left-hand man, but the cannonball to his careful regimen comes in the form of a very cranky Hermione Granger.
Banter, fluff, eventual smut, an ensemble cast of friends and family and weddings and babies. Told in mostly Draco's POV, but the occasional random one, because who says Draco is the most reliable of narrators?
It’s a character-driven slow burn.
