    Summary

    A short-lived series of private lessons took place after Christmas in Harry Potter's fifth school year, during which Severus Snape attempted to teach Harry the skill of Occlumency. The lessons were ultimately cancelled when Harry was caught prying into Snape's memories, discovering the strangest things: A mysterious prophecy connected Harry's fate with Voldemort's, Harry's dad was an insufferable bully, and Severus Snape had been in love with Harry's mum. Naturally, Harry now has a million questions. Snape would prefer to answer none.

     

    The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes. The same question arises in every soul: "For what, for whom, must I kill and be killed?"

     

    ...Or, a classic approach to stubbornness.

    Summary

    ...
    Jim, who covers Spock as if mounting a mate...
    Jim, who shoves him down onto his back, until hot stone burns pleasure and pain into his lower spine...
    Jim who pushes the lirpa to his chest and holds him there, overpowered, so many points of contact, so tantalizingly close.
    Spock's skin flashes hot, his legs part, a reflex from nowhere near the fight instinct. The pounding of his blood cries out in eager heat at being granted the dream he was dreaming seconds ago--
    --almost, but not quite.
    Jim's eyes are fear, not seduction. No gentle, knowing glance at the juncture of Spock's legs to acknowledge the damp strain of need there. No human thigh pushed up between them, offered for him to ride to relief.
    But Spock has been trembling on the precipice for so long that it doesn't matter.
    Just the feel of Jim over him like this. The brush of skin between their hands... the very idea of how near Jim's hips are to his, how close this is to what his body pleads for...
    Pressed against stone, his spine barely arches.
    Out of breath, his throat makes barely a sound...

    (Amok Time where everything's the same AND they fuck there in the sand and it's not even an AU.)

    Summary

    Dick can hear Deathstroke lazily walking down the line of handcuffed, terrified hostages trying to shuffle back even closer to the wall. He already knows where this is going.

    There’s not enough time to decide which would look less suspicious—looking up or not. Slade grabs Dick’s hair and pulls him up, leaving him no choice but to move forward until he’s kneeling at Slade’s feet. He can hear shuddery sighs of relief from the other hostages and can’t blame them.
