Summary
Two strangers drowning under the weight of unrequited longing for people they could never have share a single night together under the masks of anonymity the Ministry's annual 'Masquerade for Mer-Rights' ball provides.
Except this is fiction, where the love is never unrequited, and maybe the real strangers we shag in bathrooms are the godfathers of friends we made along the way.

Summary
When Hannibal met Will Graham (the man who had, three years prior, been mistaken for the Chesapeake Ripper), he expected amusement. What he got was his first taste of obsession. Dark and bitter in the back of his throat but achingly sweet on the tongue. He knew at once that this feeling, this Man, would consume him.
And Hannibal would consume Will right back.

Summary
The Ghoul is starting to get tired of the standard “run-and-gun” bounties, so he wanders outside his comfort zone for a highly lucrative escort mission.
Kris is a walking nuclear science experiment eager to find her way home, and spread some chaotic good along the way.
The unlikely pair do their damnedest to make it to New Vegas in one piece, preferably while keeping a healthy distance between their personal and professional lives. The problem is, once you start giving a shit about someone, it’s a tough habit to kick.

But you've kept dangerous company for weeks now; the nameless bounty hunter known only as the Ghoul your reticent shadow.

Summary
When Lucy MacLean starts studying in the town her father went missing in, so many years ago, she does so with a mission - to find answers. Why did he leave her and her brother? Was he a man struggling with the mental load of raising two children after the loss of his wife, or was there something more?
When she’s sent to do a profile on a nocturnal, elusive archivist, however, she finds more than she ever could have imagined. Why had so many people gone missing, all around the same time? Who was this Moldaver figure, their name scrawled in the corner of so many ancient newspapers, and why does Professor Cooper - frustrating, arrogant, handsome - insult the authors of the classics like he knew them, over a hundred years ago?

He stops in his tracks, and she hears the sharp intake of breath. “Listen, Vaultie,” he starts, “we ain’t buddies. D’ya understand?”
“I just thought—”
“It don’t matter what ya thought. What ya need to remember is that I’m the reason ya got a dead trigger finger.”
“So, you just…want me to hate you?”
“Reckon I don’t give a shit what ya think o’ me. Hate me, trust me, whatever. We get to New Vegas, find yer daddy, and then we’re done.”
She swallows hard. “Okie-dokie.”

Summary
Hermione never made it out of Malfoy manor, at least not with Harry. Kidnapped by the snatchers right before their attempted escape, Hermione is tortured in order to find out anything the snatchers could about Harry so they could get on the Dark Lord's good side.
Weeks later, she suddenly awakes at St. Mungos only remembering a man in a mask and dark grey eyes setting her down on the bed. Now she is headed back to Hogwarts for her 8th year with her friends, an understanding Harry and overprotective Ron, while her mental health hangs in the balance. She thought she could do it, that is until she is paired with Draco Malfoy in potions, but he doesn't seem like the Draco she grew up with.

Summary
Hermione did the best she could once the war ended. She returned to school, became a successful healer and researcher, got married, and hasn't raised her wand in a defensive way in years. But the nightmares still come. Her marriage to Ron is floundering, and each day, she loses a little more of herself to a life she never quite imagined.
In order to get her marriage on the right track and prove that she's desirable, she accompanies Theo to the club he's part owner of. Once inside, she discovers more than just a kink or two that's been repressed within her. She discovers that perhaps she's not the bookish prude she's always thought she was. And maybe reclaiming herself and her happiness will be the best way to finally heal her traumatized past.“Tell me the last time Weasley made you come so hard you thought about it for weeks.”
I couldn’t.
“Tell me about an experience that left you fully sated.”
I couldn’t.
“Come to Nox, Hermione. You’ve fucking earned it.”
I couldn’t.

Summary
Draco Malfoy had not wanted to return to Hogwarts for his 8th year, and only did so at the insistence of his parents. When the Ministry announced a new marriage law in which any male of age must place a bracelet onto the arm of his witch of choice, Draco saw a way out of his relationship with Pansy Parkinson. The catch? The bracelet must be placed within 48 hours, or the male will lose his magic; if the bracelet deems the match incompatible it will not lock into place. Witches may contest the marriage after six months, the pair partaking in a series of three trials to prove the match incompatible; if the trials are successful, however, the pair must complete a soul bond.
