Summary
Maybe Max already knows, sees through Charles right to the roots. “You don’t want to know? Who it is, I mean?”
“No,” Max snaps.
Charles flinches. He feels raw, exposed, like everyone can see the blooms unfurling in his chest.
And then Max is turning to him and sliding a possessive hand around the base of his skull. He waits until Charles meets his eyes.
“They don’t matter.” His long fingers curl in to press at the hinge of Charles’ jaw. “You will make them fall in love with you. Or.” Max swallows, throat bobbing reflexively. He leans in so close they’re breathing the same air. “Or you’ll get over them. Maybe…maybe fall for someone else. Anything can happen.”
“Anything,” Charles echoes, feeling insane. Max doesn’t know. Max is jealous of himself.
Or, Charles and Max have an arrangement to hook up during race weekends; half the grid knows. Charles has hanahaki; hardly anyone knows he’s heartsick, much less who he's pining over. Not his family, not Ferrari, and certainly not Max.

Summary
Colin was pacing the front hall. He had never been so jittery in his life. All his anxiety, anticipation, and excitement compelled his feet back and forth across the hall.
Ever since Mama had told him that Penelope would be joining them for the holiday via the girls’ carriage, he had been even more fidgety than usual. He had not been able to be normal around her since he had been home from Eton, and that was six months ago. When Eloise had called after her in the park and she had turned, her hair swirling around her, her face pink and her mouth laughing, a feeling Colin could only describe as blazing hot calm had washed over him. She was so perfectly beautiful, so perfectly kind and charming, so perfectly clever and sparkling.
Perfect.
It wasn’t fair.
///
Colin's friendship with Penelope means everything to him, but when he falls for her before she has even debuted, he despairs. When she joins the Bridgertons at Aubrey Hall for Christmas, things spiral.
A little angst, a lot of feelings, and some happy holiday smut!

Summary
Back to the roots, where everything started.
When the seed of friendship anchored itself into the soil,
before revealing it's growth and then it's flowers,
so unexpected,
so beautiful.These petals, they do not care for outside perception,
though they die so easily when neglected.But better hide them,
before anyone sees and blames you for their very nature. -

Summary
“Light always remembers where it was once loved.”
Two years after the events that changed her life, Cassandra Reed returns to Hogwarts for her final year. Her friends think the danger is over. Her professors think the ancient magic is gone.
But when her dreams begin to blur into reality — visions of a boy she’s never met and a darkness that whispers her name — Cassie realizes that something beneath the castle is stirring again.
Ominis Gaunt can feel it too — through the strange pull that has always connected him to her. As the shadows around Hogwarts deepen, Cassie and Ominis are drawn toward a truth older than either of them… and a choice that could change everything.
A slow-burn, canon-divergent Hogwarts Legacy epic — where ancient magic, destiny, and love are all bound by the same light.

Summary
Mike’s hands were pulling him in before he even had time to process the whole interaction, and somewhere, deep, buried by shame and hurt and fucking hearbreak, 15-year-old Will is standing in an airport, holding a freshly painted picture, about to see his best friend for the first time in a year, and the two Wills merge, and something clanks and clicks and heals, and Will closes his eyes and breathes in shakily, nostrils attacked by the scent of the man in his arms. His fingers dig into Mike’s shirt, a little desperately, more than a bit pathetically.
or
Four years after leaving Hawkins, Will is back for Max and Lucas's wedding. He has a plan: get drunk, avoid Mike Wheeler as much as he could, and flee as soon as possible back to California.
It all backfires.

Summary
When you were shot, part of me died. I was so scared Eddie. And look I know you don’t like me saying that it should have been me, but it should have been. Chris doesn’t deserve to grow up without you. So I would sacrifice myself every time if necessary. Sometimes when I think about what happened the taste of blood rushes through my mouth. Because I tasted your blood, and I know that I will never forget that taste. I’ve tasted your blood but not your lips. It kills me to even think about it.
Because it reminded me that losing you isn’t something I’d survive.
Or: After Eddie leaves for El Paso Buck goes back to therapy and Dr Copeland gives him some homework.

Yet somehow their chance encounters become regular meetings, and Paxton finds himself looking forward to those moments more than anything else. But when Paxton discovers the truth about who Karasuba really is, everything changes.

What if Spottedpaw was a little braver than in canon? What if she took the hit for Tiny?
What would a little bit of hope do for such a small, young kitten that would otherwise travel a dark path, bathed in Blood?
Updates will be posted whenever a chapter is finished. Currently trying two chapters of my other What-If for one of this one's, or for every two I do of the other, I do one for this one.
