Summary
Remus has learned from his one and only experience of Freshers Week that there are some things one ought not to do if they want to maintain an outward sense of competence and decorum. His new friends, however, have not. They do not know the golden rules of Freshers: what’s expected, what’s not, and what one should absolutely, categorically, unequivocally never ever do under any circumstances ever.
Such as sleeping with your flatmate.

Summary
He’s a tall bloke, easily has five inches on both of them, with long legs and long arms. James reckons he’s gay, but Sirius isn’t so sure. Can people tell you’re gay just by looking at you? The way he stands reminds him of Der Wanderer über dem Nebelmeer by Freidrich even though there’s no cane or flowing overcoat, only curly brown hair and a flash of amber in his eyes under the bar-lights. It’s like if people were art movements, James is Renaissance, Sirius is Baroque and this guy’s Romantic. And Peter – he’s fucking medieval, like those ugly homuncular babies by Bellini.
Sirius isn't too keen on going to university, but he follows James up to Edinburgh anyway. Remus returns for second year, only mildly upset that he has to live with a bunch of freshers. Lily wonders if it's sad that she's still a virgin at the age of nineteen. Peter elects to study French because it's probably all he's good for.

Summary
The year is 1984. Matthew Holt has been missing for a year, having disappeared after his expulsion from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for endangering the lives of fellow students.

Allura and Lotor are Quidditch rivals, Keith and Acxa have family issues, Lance needs to get a grip, and Hunk just wants to pass Third Year without too much fuss.
Inspired by Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery.

Summary
A year in the life of some starving artists struggling to survive and pay their rent in New York's gritty East Village; featuring Lance, clad only in bubble wrap performing his famous lawn chair-handcuff dance to the sounds of iced tea being stirred, and Keith attempting to write a bittersweet, evocative song that doesn't remind us of Musetta's Waltz.

Summary
“What's he like?” she asks. “Your wizard?”
He seems to think about it for a moment.
“Arrogant,” he finally says. “Insufferably clever. He claimed he could have been Mystra's Chosen, but he turned her down.”
The group (sans Tav) meet Astarion by the beach. They don't meet Gale. If you ask Astarion, that just means they have to look harder.

Summary
These days, most everybody in camp had learned to wave away Astarion’s advances with a laugh. They found the flirtation titillating, Gale figured, or a bit threatening, or some combination of the two. He wondered if anybody else found it sad.
--
Good old-fashioned rumination on choice and compulsion. Gale and Astarion shake off their metaphorical shackles.- Language:

The Last Will and Testament of Cazador Szarr by AbigailMoment

Summary
"First," said Gale. "Do not kill any thinking creatures in Waterdeep unless you must to protect yourself or you have my express permission."
As Gale spoke, he could feel the weight of his words sinking into the person sitting across from him. It was like casting a spell, but took no effort. Astarion had been staring hollowly into his goblet of blood, but at this he made a faintly interested noise. As if the rule were novel and he was considering the shape of it.
"Second, you will obey me in all things," said Gale. There didn't feel like there was any honest way of softening that. Astarion didn't make any sound at all.
"Third, do not leave the tower without permission." Astarion made another speculative noise, considering this one too. But then his shoulders hunched and his eyes skittered down, as if he didn't want to look at what was about to happen.
"Fourth," Gale said, and paused. He started with some context: "There is a tressym upstairs."
Astarion's head twitched. He looked up at Gale, blinking, startled. He had the air of someone who had been bracing for a blow and instead had just been handed a balloon animal.
"A what?" he asked.

Summary
Oh god. By the time Dean is visualizing, compulsively, the last good fuck he had, he knows that he’s made a mistake. Within the next mile of walking, he can’t even delude himself into ignoring it anymore; he can feel a trickle of moisture running down the inside of his thigh. Oh god.
Castiel has had plenty of time to get used to the idiosyncrasies of his symptoms, but the way his focus shifts towards this particular scent that reaches him on the barest breeze -- it’s somehow different.
And somehow he knows, automatically, that it’s not happy-heat-mate but scared and sick and alone.
