Summary
Demi and Rowan are both nervous wrecks and both madly in love, but too afraid to say anything. When Demi’s friend drags her into a sleepover, a game of Truth or Dare and a single photo is all it takes for a domino effect to take place, leading to passionate encounters, bonds being formed, and self discovery as the new relationship pushes them both to be more confident.
Follow them and their friends as they navigate through their personal struggles, friendships, and their newly formed sexual lives at the volatile age of 18.
Besides chapter 1, any chapters named after flavors (vanilla, chocolate, etc.) are the smutty ones if you’d like to just read the sex.

Summary
Wherein Paul wrestles with exactly what he feels for Kat, torn and terrified of losing the man whom he knows as no other: the one good thing to come out of the war.
OR: "I've been burning all my daylight running;
even midnight caught fire.
Only way I ever learned how.
(. . . )
If you lie awake
while your universe shakes,
and I go weightless and fall–
claws out for you now–
just hold onto yourself–We're almost home,
but we've got miles to go.Miles to go,
but we're almost home."~~~
Addendum: Now an accidental, indefinite short-story collection / dumping ground for my thoughts and feelings re: the book All Quiet, but mostly Paul and Kat. Expect stories, fanart(?), historical inaccuracies, canon divergence and goodness-knows-what-else.
NOTES: Despite the tags, none of this is salaciously explicit, although the subject of sexuality is dealt with frankly here (as is all else in the book).
"Chapters" 1-3 form something of a trilogy; everything that follows is intended to be standalone / unrelated (with some wink-and-nod callbacks).
Prompts / requests welcome! :D

Summary
Sethos and Scara decide to enter into a pact regarding their virginity, but the situation spirals. They soon find that adding sex into the mix complicates their friendship. As they grapple with their emotions, it becomes clear that understanding the feelings of love is anything but straightforward.
"Hey, I've got an idea," Sethos said, his eyes twinkling.
"Oh boy," Scara mutters, bracing himself for whatever ridiculous thought his drunk friend has cooked up. "What now?"
"How about we make a pact?" Sethos suggests, leaning in conspiratorially. "If both of us are still virgins by the time we're sophomores, we'll just fuck each other."
"What?" Scara's eyes go wide and was momentarily stunned.
"You heard me," Sethos says, though his grin betrayed a hint of playfulness. "Think about it. We're already great together. We know each other better than anyone else."

Summary
Life is tough for a high-school student. On the outside, Benjamin Finch is a smart, quiet kid who enters his senior year just wanting to avoid the bullies and escape the system alive--on the inside, he's a free spirit, dreaming of the day he can live a life of real adventure. When he inadvertently saves a punk rat from expulsion, she takes him on a path of rebellion and self-destruction, putting him up against skaters, goths, drug dealers, and all the administrative bureaucracy that Saint Carver High School has to offer.
As the mayhem grows, and chaos overtakes the school, the students react, the bullies retaliate, and the system resists. Every risk has a consequence.
Some birds were never meant to fly.

Summary
After the events of Rolling in the Deep, Ed, Stede and Izzy try to find a balance in their relationship. Stede and Izzy still don't agree on everything, but as long as Edward is happy, that's all that matters.
And Edward is happy. He's got the men he loves, and Blackbeard's reputation to keep them all safe. Never mind the nightmares he's been having, of a monster lurking beneath the waves. Never mind the days when he feels like he can't take the pressure anymore. And never mind the voice in the back of his head, telling him that the people he loves might be better off without him.
Tie it all to the anchor. Let it sink into the dark.

Summary
An 8th Year story exploring what would happen if Slytherin were radically depopulated as part of fall-out from the War. Who would want to be associated with the house supporting the losing side after all?
***
The first glimpse of the castle brought them to a halt. Hogwarts had been badly damaged by the battle. Harry could remember the building collapsed in pieces all around them. Significant repairs had been made in the intervening months but it still bore scars. Most of the walls had been restored but large chunks were still missing and the work that was completed seemed to have been done with more haste than care in places. It was obvious where the stone was new. Ron must have been having similar thoughts because he broke the silence. “It looks a right mess. Do you reckon they let Filch oversee the repairs?” The last attempt at a joke half-hearted.
Hermoine, answered seriously though. “I wonder if it was deliberate?”
“Why would the deliberately repair it badly?” Harry wasn’t sure if it was disbelief or anger coloring his voice. He hated seeing the castle like this.

Summary
It’s not like there’s a handbook on how to be a good mentor, no ancient set of rules carved in stone for future generations to follow. No one teaches you how to do it. You just go with your gut and try to do what feels right.
There are no right answers.
And yet, Zanka was pretty damn sure that fucking your trainee on regular basis was definitely not part of the job description.
