Summary
Being able to turn into a dragon is not all its cracked up to be, not when Draco has to navigate an increasingly fractious Hogwarts, Death Eaters, and anti-Death Eaters—and lead his Slytherins to safety through all of it.
And if Potter becomes one of his Slytherins, then he’ll have to...treat him nicely too.
(the horror!)

Summary
Escorting Malfoy on a dangerous mission in another dimension to speak to French Veela, Harry and his fellow Aurors are attacked and left for dead. Harry and Malfoy are the only survivors, and wounds the attackers inflicted have released Malfoy’s Veela heritage. Now he’s probably going to die unless Harry can successfully bind himself to Malfoy as a temporary mate—and they still have to survive the trek to reach the Veela stronghold.

Summary
“I just wish…”
“What do you wish?”
“I wish I could have changed it all.”
For years Bilbo has written about his adventures and told stories about his dealings with dwarves and dragons. To most it seemed like fanciful nonsense but to Bilbo it was all very real. A weight followed him home from his travels, one called regret. Now in his final moments Bilbo has a choice to make – go quietly into death’s embrace or go back again and face all the fear and pain for the chance to make things right?
Of course, change is a fickle thing and not everything can be done again as Bilbo is about to find out. In the end, it may not only be salvation that he’s fighting for.

Summary
Jaskier doesn’t actually know how much time has passed since the black-cloaked Nilfgaardians grab him after a performance in a shitty tavern in the backcountry of northern Kaedwen. He’d assumed--foolishly, apparently--that he was far enough north that any Nilfgaardian soldiers would be few and far between, likely just scouts or even deserters. It would have been hard to actually get any further north--the little backwater town where he’d been singing was just a day from the mountains. Anymore travel, and he’d find himself skirting the Trail up to Kaer Morhen, the Warlord’s Keep, and, well. He’s brazen, but not that brazen.
(or: a wandering bard bites off more than he can chew with the political ballads, accidentally makes friends with a princess in exile, and finds the Warlord of the North in his debt.)

Summary
Jaskier’s kingdom is conquered by the merciless warlord known as the White Wolf. The fearsome wolf decides to take Jaskier as a prize to marry him. Jaskier has been abused all his life and supposes going with the wolf will make very little difference.
Note about rape/non-con: While no rape is explicitly described, there is an attempted rape and referenced/heavily implied rape and sexual abuse. This fic deals with the aftermath of sexual, physical, and emotional abuse and therefore can be quite triggering to some. Please be aware before choosing to read. ❤️
