Stories by deceptive-serenade

When Rose woke up that morning, she thought it would be a normal day at her cottage: tending to her garden, engaging in one of her (too many) crafts and taking a walk by the ocean. Instead, she found Al's friend and Auror partner Scorpius Malfoy, lounging on her couch, judging her house décor and planning his six-month stay as he recovers from a mission gone wrong.
Scorpius Malfoy is not Rose Wealsey's soulmate. Out of desperation (and delaying the inevitable rejection), Rose took the SoulMates test only to find out her soulmate is unknown. And that might've been okay, in a soul-crushingly devastating kind of way—only, they work together. In the same cubicle. (Soulmate AU, Scorose with a happy ending)

Lily Evans and James Potter, best friends, decide to have an Anti-Valentine's Day date to express their hatred of the holiday. To their horror, this is when they finally confess their feelings for each other. / A story about friendship, loneliness and the implications of Valentine's Day. / Muggle AU, Adult Jily, Mature Content

Countdown to Inevitable by deceptive-serenade Stale Result (Last seen: )

It was the first snowfall of the season when Scorpius Malfoy entered Rose Weasley's bakery, Cake Witch. She hadn't seen him in ten years—and she had flour all over her. Lovely. (Holiday Scorose, a little angsty, a little fluffy.)

Safety Measures by deceptive-serenade Stale Result (Last seen: )

Rose Weasley is ready to reinvent herself. She's got her own place now, is proudly single and fully prepared to enjoy her summer. That is, until she loses her job, gets wrapped up in her cousin's wedding plans and ends up being friends with benefits with her new neighbour, Scorpius Malfoy. How did this happen? Rose/Scorpius. Rated M for mature themes.

The Unexpected Date by deceptive-serenade Stale Result (Last seen: )

Rose Weasley would never admit it, but being single hasn't been the most exciting experience of her early twenties. She lets her cousin set her up, but it turns out to be the most dull date in existence. As it happens, Scorpius Malfoy also has a date to escape from, and somehow convinces her to come with him. Rose/Scorpius

Forefront by deceptive-serenade Stale Result (Last seen: )

Kayla Longbottom loves her life – honestly, she does. She has a great flat in Diagon Alley where she lives with her best friend. She works a job, and it could be satisfying... sometimes. She liked being single, and sure, Albus Potter made her heart pound, but that was all it was. All of it was fine, until one day it wasn't. A story about anxiety and regrets. Albus/OC
Every kind of pillow talk between Percy and Annabeth, and how it changed over the years. AU, nothing explicit. Percy/Annabeth.
Percy isn't so fond of his classmate, Annabeth Chase, but he can't deny that she has amazing taste in music. Music is his life, so when she suggests they go on a road trip across the country to a once-in-a-lifetime concert, he can't say no. No matter how much she annoys him. AU, drabble fic. Punk!Percy, Tomboy!Annabeth. Percy/Annabeth.
College life was a bit lonelier for Annabeth than she'd predicted. Percy had been an unexpected addition to her life, but after watching him wear himself out on his long shifts at Starbucks and dealing with his abusive stepfather, she realized he might have needed her more than she'd originally thought. AU, Slightly OOC. Percy/Annabeth.

Normality by deceptive-serenade Stale Result (Last seen: )

But when he thought of Lily, everything seemed normal. Drabble. James/Lily.
They were still in the transition from best friends to boyfriend and girlfriend. He didn't really want to screw it up and make things awkward by admitting Annabeth turned him on. A lot. Especially in a library. AU. Drabble. Percy/Annabeth.
Annabeth would never admit it to him, but she was lucky. Maybe it all came with The Extensive Responsibilities of Being a Demigod, but Percy was usually more attentive than most boyfriends seemed to be, and more than that, it was instinctive. Drabble. Percy/Annabeth.
Annabeth could see his eyes watering as Percy wheezed and hacked, and she felt a surge of something that seemed suspiciously like tenderness. Drabble. Percy/Annabeth.
It must have happened gradually, but it hit her all at once. Annabeth would be fine one minute, but the next, she would be looking over her shoulder, stomach tied in anticipation, distracted. In all those years of being best friends, Percy must've somehow changed the fact that Annabeth was okay with being alone. Percy/Annabeth.
Swimming camp is the step towards a sports career. Annabeth's father is adamant that she can get to that level, but she's not even sure she wants to go to the Olympics in the first place. And then there's Percy, the best swimmer at camp, who has practically everything figured out – including her. AU, Percabeth.
Annabeth keeps getting dumped. Sure, they'll say they want a casual relationship, but let's face it: a lot of college guys want the one thing she's not willing to give. She's not quite sure what's going on, until Percy gets a bit fed up. AU. Nothing inappropriate. Percy/Annabeth.

Easily Influenced by deceptive-serenade Stale Result (Last seen: )

The summer was going to the dumps, but what I expected was relaxation and lots of sun. Baby sitting my sister. Advising my other sister to put on more clothes. Maybe playing video games with my brother. What I hadn't expected was my former best friend to suddenly make his way back into my life and drag me into his. This isn't the kind of adventure I signed up for. Albus/OC

You Can Marry Me by deceptive-serenade Stale Result (Last seen: )

Albus/OC

Snapshot by deceptive-serenade Stale Result (Last seen: )
