    Summary

    Wednesday Addams attends Larissa Weems’ funeral expecting boredom, hypocrisy, and lilies that smell like rot. What she does not expect is to see Weems herself (standing beside her own coffin, smirking at Wednesday as though death were merely an inconvenience).

    No one else notices, no one else hears the voice that follows her home. Wednesday insists it’s a delusion, a crack in her control. But ghosts, it turns out, are very good at finding unfinished business… and Larissa is determined not to let Wednesday look away.

    Summary

    In the new millennia, Hermione is thriving at the DMLE together with Harry and Ron. All that remains of her cursed scar is a dull ache she’s able to manage— until, on a day as any other, her fingers accidentally brush Narcissa Malfoy’s at the Ministry, re-awakening a twisted obsession Hermione never asked to inherit.

    Summary

    “I do prefer it when you do other things to my skin.”

    And once again, Hermione’s brain was gone. Off. In the gutter. Derailing itself with horrifying efficiency.

    No.

    She tore her eyes away, mentally superimposing the image of her grandfather at Christmas – spectacularly pissed, stark bollock naked under a tartan robe, arguing with the angels in the tree. Still not enough. So she added the memory of that one chapter in Magical Maladies and Their Management, the one with close-up photos of Spattergroit pustules. That did the trick.

    Refreshed, centred, pure of thought, she cleared her throat and continued the tour.

    Or: Bellatrix Lestrange is supposed to stop committing crimes. Hermione Granger is supposed to stay impartial. Neither of them is very good at following instructions. There’s a dead man, a collapsing investigation, and a rapidly collapsing sense of professional distance.

    (Works both as a sequel to Of Magic, Mayhem and Poor Decisions and as a standalone if you don’t like slow buildings.)

    Summary

    Sequel to “Sink With Me”. After sleeping with Andy in Paris and being made to wait for the next time, Miranda decides turnabout is fair play and uses everything in her arsenal to seduce Andy every night for six days. Is Miranda ready for what she's unleashing?

    Standing up, Miranda let out a throaty laugh. “I’ve always been a fan of silk and lace,” she said, pinching the collar of her open robe. Miranda smiled, watching Andrea’s eyes grow darker, and slowly dragged her fingers along the stitched edge of the cool fabric. She guided Andrea’s blazing gaze with her hand, sliding it all the way down to the hanging belt, and then moved upward, pressing the thin layers of the clothing beneath to lift the hem of her already short négligée a few precious inches. Miranda closed her eyes and hummed in satisfaction. “The way they feel against my skin is, well…”

    “What?” Andrea asked, her voice hoarse. “What do they feel like?”

    Miranda opened her eyes and smiled. “Sinful,” she twisted her tongue around the word.
