Summary
Harry's life is his work. And through years of working long, exhausting hours in child and family services, Harry's developed some guidelines for himself when it comes to taking children into his home. One, he'll only do it in emergency situations. And two, he won't take them long term.
While he has no official policy on his romantic relationships, they never seem to last very long either, no matter how much he might dream of finding love.
But when eleven-year-old Ben Healy comes blasting his way into Harry's world, his predictable, somewhat lonely life gets turned upside down. Harry can't help but draw parallels between himself and the Muggleborn orphan, and despite his best efforts, he grows attached. Taking on the responsibility of caring for a child is a terrifying prospect, though, and Harry's not sure he's up to the challenge.
Meanwhile, questions arise concerning Ben's mysterious parentage. Is it possible he's not Muggleborn after all? And why is his hair that particular shade of blond?
And why is it so bloody easy for Harry to fall into his old, obsessive habits when it comes to Draco Malfoy?

Summary
A/N: Be sure to read the prequel "Buttons" first! I wrote it about 4 years ago, so it's not up to my standards anymore, but it's necessary to setup Payment in Post-its properly :) Hope you enjoy! Draco is determined to win over Harry Potter, the wild rockstar in the making. But Potter is elusive, confusing and hesitant to commit... and has more secrets then he lets on.

Summary
“I think I’m sick, hyung,” Minho whispered—Chan walked ahead, and gently rubbed Minho’s knuckles, going over the boxing scars as he did. “I don’t know what’s going on.”
“Try telling me.”
Minho exhaled sharply, taking a few moments to articulate what he wanted to say mentally. “It’s like… I feel so unenthusiastic about everything? I don’t know what’s happening—my metabolism has died and I don’t feel the taste of food in my mouth anymore. I—I’m trying not to exaggerate but everything feels so slow and agonizing. I can’t sleep and I can’t stay awake. I feel so… disassociated.”
[Or: relapse is a part of recovery, but not something that is necessary]

Summary
Lee Minho would die for his members.
It’s something he always said. He didn’t often say it to their faces, but he’d think it to himself as he danced alongside them, when he heard one of them sing or rap, when one of them told a stupid joke and Minho laughed so much his chest hurt from trying to catch his breath. He’d whisper it under his breath on those nights when he was the last one awake before a break day, pleasantly exhausted and squished into a corner of the sofa by the sleeping members, the movie they’d been watching still playing.
He'd never had to prove it. He'd never been put in a position where he had to pick between his life or one of theirs.
------
Minho has to pick between saving his own life or saving Felix's. The others struggle through the aftermath of that choice.
