Five years after the war, Draco Malfoy has fought everything and everyone to get to where he is. He thought that having an Auror drop in for a surprise inspection of his Potions' lab was bad enough, but why is the Auror wearing a glamour? And why is the custom potion he wants so urgent and shrouded in secrecy? And why are people mysteriously dying? HPDM, Drarry, Brat!Draco, Dom/sub

The five times they showed that they loved each other and the one time they said it... The first time Draco showed that he loved Harry (though neither of them would call it that until years later), he'd been drowning in an ocean of terror and the world had narrowed to emerald green eyes. Aunt Bella had shoved the wizard to his knees and beckoned to Draco...

Harry had heard, of course, that Draco Malfoy had gone into the private investigator business after resurfacing a few years back. The Ministry had been rife with rumors of all the elusive, high-end cases Malfoy had recently solved, and Harry had no doubt that those rumors were carefully crafted bullshit spread by the 'detective' himself. But why would it matter? Unless... HPDM

It was supposed to be just a jog. Quidditch practice had been cancelled for the week and he'd just wanted a way to burn off some adrenaline.

Written for the International Wizarding School Championship FINALS!

The list of people Draco considered friends was very short, but the list of people allowed to touch Draco was even shorter. Blaise Zabini, his best friend, could touch him. But no one else. When someone breaks that rule, though, Draco can't help obsessing over it... And the Gryffindor who did it. Eventual Drarry! WIP

Draco could play piano. It wasn't a well known fact, outside of Slytherin, and the music always sounded pained and forced, no matter what he did. Except for one little tune he just can't place... Angsty but no longer a one-shot! Drarry! Mentions of homophobia

After the war, Draco had very few job options. He wasn't proud of it, but black market dealing fit him.

Draco was there, at the War Memorial Gathering, and he saw it turn into a party. Pansy was quick to attach herself to his side, Blaise on his other, but it didn't matter.

Angsty PTSD M for mentions of torture/internalized homophobia h/c Drarry if you squint, planned two shot!

Vera, Vera, Verita is like Muggle's truth or dare, except it's only truth.

Special Agent Harry Potter of the FBI had been chasing Apophis for years. He was just so… captivating. Apophis: the serpent Egyptian god of chaos and deceit.

Or maybe he would finally catch Apophis... HPDM-ish

After the war, Harry kept to himself. Everyone else went about their lives and moved forward but Harry just... couldn't. He hadn't expected Malfoy.

How I think the scene at Malfoy Manor should have gone in DH... Everyone finds out where Draco's loyalties really lie, and it's not where everyone thinks. Drarry one-shot it's angsty but it ends good I promise

Moody teaches the Unforgivable Curses lesson. He calls Draco out for snickering, asking how to tell if an unforgivable curse has ever been used on a person, but Draco knows there isn't any way. There isn't... is there? Eventual Drarry I think, mentions of child abuse, broken!Draco

For years, Deaton had been the only one who knew what actually happened between Talia Hale and the hunter who'd come looking for her. So long, in fact, that he'd nearly forgotten. Until two federal agents walk into the clinic with wolfsbane bullets, asking about a woman their dad wrote about in his journal over twenty years ago. TEMPORARY HIATUS

Draco Malfoy was good at self control. Harry Potter, of course, had to test that control, though. And when Draco makes a deal, it seems like the best option. Harry gets fifteen minutes to try and break him. If Draco loses... Well, Draco isn't going to lose. If he wins, though, Harry will leave him alone. He agrees. After all, it's just fifteen minutes... Drarry one-shot! D/s themes

When Bucky wakes up from a nightmare, he has a dark request. One that Natasha can't follow through with... can she? WinterWidow fluffy/angsty oneshot!

Natasha had been taken back by the Red Room. No one could reach her, even they found her, and break through that training. Until Coulson called Clint. Super short clintasha fluff. One-shot!

Bucky comes to the compound with Steve for the first time since Civil War. Short one-shot about what happens when one of his training protocols hits a little too close for Natasha. Winterwidow fluff!

It was the first day back from winter break and the wounds on Draco's body are hidden, but excruciating. When he finally drops his glamour to examine them that night, he was not expecting to be interrupted. But, when he heard footsteps... Well, Draco couldn't help hoping that maybe it was someone who would actually care. Abused!Draco Abused!Harry Drarry fluff and angst! One-shot.

Slytherins had a reputation of being cold, and unemotional. Their only defense mechanism was to endure, to hold onto that facade. And when it broke? Draco wasn't ready for it to break. And he certainly wasn't ready for Harry to be the one to see it. Angst, eventual h/c and fluff. Drarry.

Sirius was... well, he was punk rock. He prided himself on that but he was also smaller than Remus-who never let him forget it. And on days when the world is just a little too much or when he happens to get shitty letter from his estranged brother, the only thing that helps is Remus. Fluffy wolfstar one-shot!

Steve was popular: star athlete, model student, and upstanding citizen. Bucky was a delinquent: tattoos, piercing, leather jackets, and every bit of rebelliousness he could manage. Natasha was just a loner. Her and Bucky were close, though, so when he approached her with an idea she agreed. Operation SSR: Seduce Steve Rogers. Bucky/Nat/Steve Highschool!AU Complete for now.

She loved them both... But now that they were both back she knew they would choose each other. Not her. And of course it was a choice because relationships were always a choice: she was not the one they were going to pick, though. Or was she? Natasha/Steve/Bucky fluff

After weeks at the tower, Bucky can't escape the guilt. They all want to help him but none of them understand-they can't. Except Natasha. BuckyNat / WinterWidow physical harm warning. Two-shot.

It was six weeks after they brought Bucky into shield that Natasha heard the knock on her door. She gave him the choice-like she doubted anyone ever had-and he just had to say a color. Winterwidow fluff and angst! One-shot. Brief mentions of self-harm / attempted suicide

After everything she'd been through, Natasha just couldn't handle being a field agent. But she needed some kind of job to stay under the protection (and invisibility) of the agency so Coulson reassigned her. Clint, another agent, was having trouble. But then, so are a lot of agents at shield. She becomes a fixer, of sorts. Natasha/Clint/Steve/Bruce/Bucky/more TBD. Updating soon!

Draco was... particular about nicknames. His proper, traditional reputation limited most people to Draco, Malfoy, or Mr. Malfoy, but there were a select few who called him Drake. Never Dray, though. Never Dray. Dray had too many memories attached, too much pain. But, of course, Harry wouldn't let that go. Drarry! Angsty fluff. Warning: child abuse and rape!

My take on the Marauders and the boggart lesson! Sirius' boggart isn't something any of them expect... Wolfstar! Fluffy, short one-shot. Implied child abuse.

A lot of the team had seen Natasha at least partially naked at some point in time for various reasons. Most were pretty sure she and Clint were sleeping together. Others had their bets on Steve. But Bucky was the one who snuck into her bed each night and always found himself tangled around her every morning... WinterWidow fluff! Two-shot.

Bucky is a new transfer student to the college and he can't help bumping into a fiesty redhead who also speaks Russian. And happens to have a really hot friend... Stucky! College!AU Fluff, no lemon. One-shot.

Natasha takes care of herself. Always had, always would. Until she comes back from a mission and overestimates the strength it will take. Lying on the floor in misery, she doesn't expect anyone to come. But someone does... BuckyNat/WinterWidow! Fluffy one-shot.

Natasha was panicking and no one knew how to stop it. Except Bucky. Dom!Bucky Sub!Natasha D/s dynamic fluffy one-shot! WinterWidow

Natasha cared for her boys. They'd come to her at different times, for different reasons, but they'd all found the trust and surrender they'd needed in her. Platonic only. But when Steve brought in a new recruit, things changed. Bucky was... different. Nightclub!AU D/s dynamic, eventual WinterWidow!

It was unusual for members of the team to patch each other up after missions, especially when they'd been working together. But Bucky always made it a point to slip off and take care of himself. He was very intentional and he knew Steve would follow if he let him so he always locked the door. But maybe he just needed someone who would pick the lock.. WinterWidow fluff!

There were rumors that there was another trigger word, one that could shut him down as easily as the others could activate him. No one really knew if it was true, except the one who created it. WinterWidow BuckyNat One-shot for now.

She was fine, everything was fine. Except he was back, and he clearly remembered something she didn't. It's been a long time since anyone called her little spider... Dom/sub relationship, WinterWidow, sub!Natasha One-shot for now, not a lemon just fluffy angst

When they came back, Bucky was silent. It was never a good sign and she could tell he was hurting. Natasha hated to see him hurting... Dom/sub dynamic, WinterWidow BuckyNat, a bit angsty fluff, one shot for now!

It'd started early on, in his first days at the tower. Bucky didn't remember any of them-least of all Steve-and it killed them but he didn't know what to do about it. He just avoided them. Until she appeared... BuckyNat WinterWidow One-shot! Fluff

Romanoff is Down.. the call rang out and he wasn't supposed to hear it but... Bucky couldn't stop himself. He had to see that she was okay. And if he happened to remember a few things in the process? Well, that was just out of his control. BuckyNat / WinterWidow... One-shot for now!

Natasha finally caves and asks Clint about the little wooden clothespin he always carries in his pocket... Clintasha fluff, one-shot!

Short one-shot... Natasha thinks Clint is a little too reliant on things like knives and guns... Slight Clintasha

Clint had been tortured before, but Budapest was different. Something about it just hit him a little harder, with a little more force, and it broke him. In the aftermath, he was left with very few options: suffer alone, or trust and let himself fall. He just hoped that Natasha would catch him... Clintasha fluff, rated M for mentions of torture, may continue but oneshot for now.

Clintasha oneshot following the Loki incident! Nat says she got red in her ledger but Clint doesn't believe her... fluff!

Everyone knew Clint had a soft spot for Natasha.. but no one really expected her to have one for him in return. One-shot just fluffy stuff. Clintasha!

Natasha was six when the Red Room took her from her parents, and she became their best. When she is fifteen, the base is stormed by American soldiers with pity in their eyes instead of fear. She, and others, are taken as refugees. Only she doesn't wake up in an orphanage. Instead, she learns what SHIELD is, and just what kind of people they employ. Rated M (later chpts) Clintasha!

A simple discussion about ice cream flavors turns into a much more interesting discussion about kinks. Natasha is convinced she's gotten everyone figured out and she does, except Clint... Clintasha! Rated M for kink discussion and explicit content, no lemons, one-shot. Don't like, don't read. Enjoy!

Clint sleeps with a knife after the Loki incident. Natasha thinks it's for her, or maybe for Loki, but it isn't. It's his backup plan. Clintasha fluff, one-shot. Mentions of suicide.

Natasha and Clint have a routine for after an op goes bad. A way to ease the pain and chase away the nightmares. Clintasha fluff! No lemons, one-shot, rated T for language.

Clint called her babygirl but it was their own, private thing. She never expected her old Red Room trainer to know about it, and she never expected to have to face him. Looking at who she is now, she can't decide if Kvetki is right, if they've made her soft, or if she really doesn't mind being somebody's babygirl. One-shot. Clintasha! Rated M, no lemons, warnings inside.

Something about the human inspired Castiel. His strength, his defiance, but also the way he looked when he just shattered. But Castiel wasn't going to let Dean's memories of Hell be the thing that holds him back. If anything holds him, it's going to be Castiel. Destiel!
