Summary: How can something that goes so wrong turn out so right?

Better Times, NC-17, 13,200 words
Summary: After the war, to be a Slytherin is to be a target. Draco Malfoy wants to mend that before his son goes to Hogwarts, and with Severus Snape’s help they establish a new magical journal.

LJ, IJ, DW

Hector’s Arms, PG-13, 10,000 words
Summary: It should be such an easy thing to do. Step out of the cupboard under the stairs. Be the best. Be the bravest. Be a hero. Just…Come out - Harry Potter has a secret, and the more he tries to tell his friends, the harder it gets. An unexpected meeting with an old acquaintance in a Muggle bar makes him realise he’s not alone and the unexpected friendships formed in the Muggle world help Harry find his courage, a renewed sense of purpose and a love that’s worth fighting for.

Faded Pages, PG, 7,190 words
Summary: Severus remembered the first day he walked into the ancient town of Lancaster, still wearing his teaching robes, having left his previous home of nearly 30 years.
