"Look, you two are a walking cliché. You fake date to make people jealous, end up falling in love, your brother kills James and gets put in Azkaban, and the best friend doesn't get to marry the love of her life."
Jess Kenny isn't having the best start to her sixth year. Enter James Potter and his uneven nostrils.

Sometimes lovers, always friends, Remus Lupin and Chi McAllister have a complicated relationship. She looks at him like he's worth something, and that terrifies him.
A series of one shots throughout Remus's life from Hogwarts and beyond, featuring Maraudering animagi, the Order of the Phoenix and fighting wars, all set to a rock and roll soundtrack.

The week after Lan Xichen turns twenty-three, he is told that the elders have decided it is time: the matchmaker has been called.
Sect Leader Lan must find a wife.
It will, he is assured, simply be a process of him dictating his perfect woman to the matchmaker who will find the girl and make suitable introductions. Zewu-jun is, after all, the First Jade of Lan; who would refuse him?
This is less comforting than it's supposed to be because Lan Xichen is left with the awkward, mortifying ordeal of considering the prospect of a wife, and all the books on the subject are, well, unhelpful for a man of his temperament.
It is his greatest challenge yet, so, naturally, he ropes all his brothers into it - willing, unwilling, unwitting.
(Shufu is simply grateful there are no more Explanations required. Twice was twice more than enough.)
When Lan Wangji walks out of his high-end dental practice in Shanghai, he gets in his car and just drives.
Wei Wuxian isn't sure how or why Lan Wangji ended up in Jinxi, but he's not sure the village life is really for him.
The only problem? Lan Wangji is too stubborn to realise this and somehow, he's made this Wei Wuxian's concern.

|| Inkys 2022 Winner: Best Description; March 2022 Story of the Month ||
There are Jiangshi corpses on the streets, a statue dancing through the parks, and rumours of Yin Iron and corruption slipping in with the mists from the sea.
These things are normal.
There is a toddler found alone on a boat and burning, a strange man with a red ribbon sits in Lan Wangji's seat, and the Little Apple Twist mocktail now has vodka.
These things are not.
Or, Wei Wuxian returns to Hong Kong and really, everything spirals out of control from there.
American journalist, Anais Fonseca had only expected one thing when she visited her cousin Adelina at the Romanian Dragon Reserve in the summer of 1996, and having a fling with Charlie Weasley wasn't it. She never intended to develop feelings for him, or for him to figure out that he could reciprocate those feelings. And finding out she was pregnant with his child didn't help at all. Now she has to figure out how this was going to work, what with them living on different continents.

When Evanora Perrot accepted the position of Hogwarts Head Librarian she expected enchanted books, student study groups, manuscript refurbishment, late nights pouring over the catalog, and only leaving the library to watch quidditch games and filch food from the kitchens.
She did not bargin for Albus Potter and his many exploding cauldrons.

Al Potter came to Cambridge to study, not to lose his heart over a girl...

When Dudley Chang – formerly Dursley – sends his only child off to Hogwarts, he’s left with questions about the wizarding world – and a brush with Hogwarts, A History doesn’t help. Who better to clear up a few questions about the finer details than his cousin Harry?

It is a truth University-acknowledged, that a muggle Healing course must be in want of a bit of magic...

A prestigious painting has gone missing from a London gallery.
Authorities suspect it's an inside job. They're not wrong.
Retired thief Cas King is back for one reason only- revenge. But between a missing thief syndicate, rusty skills, a shifty buyer, and the new threat of someone replacing him in the criminal underworld, he needs to do a lot more than that to prove his worth.

All this nonsense about me being a hero is crap. Just because I’ve been through hell and back doesn’t make me a hero.
I’m not a hero; I’m a survivor.
Chapter 8 is up as of April 8, 2021!
Note: This story contains scenes of violence and torture, some of which is similar to events in our world. I will put in an Author's Note at the start of each chapter that contains this sensitive material.
It is a truth, universally acknowledged, that a young witch in possession of prodigious talent, must be in want of a rival.
See what happens when a Rose full of pride (and not a little prejudice) meets a Scorpius full of neither.
Like P&P the romance will eventually come, but Rose has to fall in hate with Scorpius long before she finds out how much he really means to her.
*sigh* because it is a thing now, I have to say that this was started before the Cursed Child came out, and as such is probably non-compliant with it. *even deeper sigh*
Wizarding music is trash.

When the Four Founders of Hogwarts choose you to save the world from impending doom, you know it ain't gonna be a normal year...

Lily Evans' love letters are her most secret prized possessions. She writes love letters when she has a crush so intense there's nothing else she can do. The four letters in total are Frank Longbottom the head boy from her first year, Remus Lupin her third year study buddy, Marlene McKinnon long-time best friend, and the newest one. James Potter. When her letters somehow get out, after James has settled on a new girlfriend, the only person she can turn to for help is Marlene and her own letter.
Lily/Marlene fake dating fic based off To All The Boys I've Loved Before. Pretty AU centric given a bit of bending some ages around and relationships. Gratuitous use of nicknames as is on par with the inspiration material.

I think it is perfectly logical to suggest that Asian grandmothers are like fey,
always tricking you into joining them with food.

A collection of one-shots and drabbles from a variety of fandoms.
[Death Note, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Hunter x Hunter, Assassination Classroom]
In the span of half an hour, Clementine Li goes from making soup to getting assaulted by rainwater—which leaves her cursed like a fish out of water. She and her mother search high and low for remedies for this curse, and it all seems hopeless until she comes across a pretty witch with friendly smiles and spells to boot...
(A story of water-witches, scrumptious foods, and one very confused young woman in the midst of it all.)
