Summary
Hermione was never meant to rewrite the rules. Top of her class. Always prepared. Always predictable. But after one mistake and a humiliating betrayal, her certainty of who she is begins to fracture. And in the unraveling, she starts asking questions no one expects.
Draco notices. He’s not supposed to. Not her, not like this. But the more she slips beyond the version everyone knows, the more she disrupts the carefully constructed lines he’s lived behind.
The year begins like any other. But the ground is shifting. The rules are changing. And the game everyone thought they were playing suddenly doesn’t look the same.
Because this isn’t a story about enemies. Or even allies.
It’s about what happens when two people are faced with a choice: keep playing the roles they’ve always known, or risk everything for something neither of them saw coming.
TLDR:
Hermione wants revenge, picks up a broom, and becomes the hottest problem Draco’s ever had.Tension builds. Clothes come off. Draco can’t look away.
Unfortunately for him, neither can anyone else.
Chaos, thirst, and jersey-related disasters inevitably ensue.

Summary
My stomach growled eventually. I looked around to find a bush of berries. I picked a few and then sat down to eat them. As I looked at them, I remembered the berries that had saved Peeta and I. I remembered the way we had fully committed to death. We'd spit them out in time. Foxface hadn't. My stomach turned. I threw the berries away. I didn't want them anymore. I shoved the images of the dead tributes out of my head.
-----
After the first Games, Katniss has some difficult trauma-induced mental health issues that she needs to work through. What would happen if she would've been a little more open and honest with Peeta? And herself, about if there was something real there?My take on a more realistic Catching Fire. Starts just after the first Games. Continues through the end of Mockingjay. Some changes to plot as well.

Summary
While I was talking, the idea of actually losing Peeta hit me again and I realized how much I don’t want him to die. And it’s not about the sponsors. And it’s not about what will happen back home. And it’s not just that I don’t want to be alone. It’s him. I do not want to lose the boy with the bread. (The Hunger Games, Book 1, Chapter 22)
What if Katniss and Peeta picked up this conversation and got together before Catching Fire? Set four weeks after their win of the 74th Hunger Games.

Summary
“What’s got you bothered, love?” Nick asks, running a hand down Charlie’s arm.
Charlie tries to talk again, taking a few breaths in. He wants to talk to Nick like he normally does, he wants to tell Nick what happened. He tries to speak, but the wall holding his words inside of him doesn’t crack, he still can’t seem to say a single word out loud. He can’t even form them in his head now he finds. It makes him want to rip out his hair and scream until all these words, everything he is feeling, spill out completely. He just wants to talk to his boyfriend for fuck’s sake, why does this have to be so difficult? He stutters, trying to say a syllable and fails, a frustrated sob breaking out of him as tears prick his eyes.
or
Charlie goes nonverbal after a stressful family dinner, rushes to his safe place, the Nelsons', and Nick is there for him.

While Nina and Inej try to gently push them into each other's direction, because they know how much they like each other, Kaz just has business on his mind. Both, Wylan and Jesper, are scarred from their past, but they want to open up. So, a first date at the Aquarium might just be the right thing, right?Bookmarked by RubyReads1

Sarah Nelson's Perfect Gay Wedding by NicksVault
Fandoms: Heartstopper (TV), Heartstopper (Webcomic)
12 Mar 2025
Tags
Summary
Nick Nelson was living the dream: a fulfilling job, a cozy life in London, and the perfect boyfriend, Charlie Spring. There was just one small problem—he wanted to propose to Charlie, but had absolutely no idea where to begin.
Charlie, fresh out of university and thrilled with his new internship at a prestigious publishing house, couldn’t imagine life getting any better. Between his dream job, his amazing friends, and his devoted boyfriend, Nick, life felt just about perfect.
And then there was Sarah Nelson. A self-proclaimed woman of “simple passions,” Sarah took great joy in three things: watching her boys thrive, diving into a great book, and orchestrating the most spectacular gay wedding this world would ever see. “And no one,” Sarah declared, her eyes glinting with an intensity that left even Nellie and Henry questioning her sanity, “no one is going to take that dream away from me.”
This story is a continuation of my previous work "The birds and the bees", though it’s not necessary to have read the first part to enjoy this one, yet highly recommend it for a dose of laughs.

Summary
Nick is 30 years old and coming to terms with his bisexuality for the first time in his life. He decides it might be time to go to therapy only he finds himself in the situation of meeting the man of his dream in the form of his therapist.
A story about what happens when you love someone you're not allowed to - and the mistakes made along the way.
It's in the tags but - please be aware it's not my intention to produce a morality free fic, where we are fetishizing a patient therapist relationship - it's about what happens when you meet the right person in entirely the wrong circumstances and if there is ever a way to redefine a relationship as something new. Much more on this topic in the notes!!
"He looks to the source of the soft, kindly voice from the doorway in the corner of the waiting room. He swallows thickly. This wasn’t what therapists were meant to look like. Not that he needed an old man in tweed with a beard, or a grey haired lady in her 50s wearing tie die and sandals but.... surely therapists weren’t allowed to be this ... hot. Fuck."
