Summary
Normal People AU. They want each other. That’s never been the problem.
James turned, slowly, as if dragged by something heavier than guilt — something ancestral. His hands remained in the pockets of his borrowed jacket, a gesture both casual and cowardly. The streetlight above them flickered, catching the edge of his profile like a sketch someone had given up on finishing.
“That’s not what happened.”
Regulus laughed. It came out dry and scalpel-thin, a single breath honed into dismissal.
“No?” he said. “Because it felt a lot like you were pretending I didn’t exist.”
James looked at him then — really looked. Not the kind of glance you throw over your shoulder to see if the past is still chasing you, but the kind you give a painting you’ve stared at a hundred times and only just realized was about you.
“We were with my friends,” he said, as if that was a reason and not an excuse.
“And I’m not allowed to know you when they’re around? Do you have any idea what it’s like? Standing in a room and having you look through me?”
There it was — not a plea, not a break, but something far more dangerous: a mirror.

Summary
The Preservation Order follows two post-war lawyers on opposite sides of the same case: Ginny Weasley, relentless counsel for the Equality Office, and Blaise Zabini, the Ministry’s most elegant defense.
When evidence surfaces that the government’s memory-storage system—Mnemosyne—has been quietly rewriting history, Ginny demands accountability. Blaise is retained to prove the edits were necessary.
As the case unfolds, the line between law and conscience dissolves. Goblins audit human morality; spells are cited like precedents; and the courtroom becomes an archive of everything the wizarding world refuses to remember.
It is a story about power, bureaucracy, and the slow, devastating intimacy of two people who argue their way toward the truth.
Genre: Legal Thriller / Political Slow Burn / Enemies to Lovers / Philosophical Drama
Themes: Justice vs. Survival · Memory as Evidence · Bureaucracy Gothic · Moral Ambiguity · The Law Has Teeth -

Summary
In post-war London, the Ministry of Magic faces its most damning lawsuit yet: a class action alleging the illegal extraction and sale of private memories during the war.
Ginny Weasley spends her days building cases out of ghosts. Blaise Zabini spends his dismantling them.
When the Memory Extraction scandal ignites the largest trial of the post-war era, they find themselves on opposite sides of the courtroom—and the same side of a truth no one is ready to face.
It’s a story about evidence and intimacy, about what it costs to remember, and what it means to forget. -
Ilvermorny: A History by athenivy
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling, Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardly (Harry Potter)
30 Jul 2025

Summary
THIS IS A COMPLETED FIC.
(I love researching the intricacies and unknowns of a fandom, so I wrote a history book on Ilvermorny based on both my findings and my imagination.)
Long overshadowed by its European cousin, Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has remained a source of reverence, mystery, and controversy since its founding atop Mount Greylock in the early 17th century.
In this richly detailed, thoroughly researched history, scholar and spellwright Athenivy uncovers the full scope of Ilvermorny's past: from the whispered origin myths of Isolt Sayre and the forbidden Gaunt bloodline, to the intercultural currents that shaped the school’s Houses, rituals, and contradictions.
Through war, reform, rebellion, and revelation, Ilvermorny evolved — a mirror of the continent it serves, and the secrets it keeps.

Summary
In a moment of heartbreaking vulnerability, Ginny laid bare her emotions with a tone that resonated with both sorrow and grace. "I knew I loved you, even then," she confessed, her voice sad but her words so ceaselessly divine. She peered upwards through her lashes, her eyes were like a pair of diaphanous topaz, upon which the luminosities of the earth sang, reflecting the essence of the world in a kaleidoscope of hues.
"That's funny," Reese replied, "'cause I always tried to convince myself I didn't."
She wanted to pretend, just for a moment, that she could be able to love her the same way she could love any other boy—but fear imprinted illusions of sin in the back of her mind that she had been much too afraid to admit. The abyss of regret would forever be staring back, its unyielding depths an eternal reminder of the irreversible nature of actions taken.
Everything the two girls shared—snarky jabs, pointed glares, odd silences, angrily impulsive kisses—sits between them like a tangible presence, causing the tension to ratchet into impossible heights.
Reese knew the line between them had been blurred. She felt the shift, leaving her feeling off-kilter and out of bounds when they were together.
