    Summary

    Cassian could only watch as she turned her forearm, and he took in the lines moving vertically up and down. They were all on top of each other, as if she’d tried again and again to open the wound. On a human, such a blow would have been fatal in minutes. But for a fae… it took every ounce of his ability not to fall to his knees.

    “Nesta,” he said carefully, so soft and delicate, but she just kept speaking quietly, as if he wasn’t actually there and she was instead addressing whatever version of him existed in her mind.

    “I was hoping not to wake you. Actually, I was hoping you would do it,” she muttered, shaking her head. “I thought that was why we were here. But then you just kept walking and walking, and I couldn’t fucking take it anymore.”

    “Do what, Nes?”

    “Well, you’re supposed to kill me, aren’t you?”

    Summary

    Beard didn’t believe for a single second, that everything was alright, not anymore. His stomach turned. He recognized how Ted was fishing for every single excuse he could find to avoid asking for whatever it was he needed. Beard knew that admitting that he was at Jane’s, that he was busy, would mean Ted excusing himself and hanging up in an instant. Beard felt he couldn’t quite bear the uncertainties of the whole thing anymore. He sighed, at last.

    “What’s going on, Ted?” The way that Ted sounded like he was choking on a sob damn near broke Beard’s heart.

    “I need you to come get me, I’m…” Ted spoke quietly, struggling to continue. Beard stood up immediately.

    “Where are you?”

    “I’m alright, I’m okay. I’m… I’m at the E-... At A&E. They won’t let me go home by myself, so I just… I just need you to come and get me.”

    Summary

    When Sebastian heard about the arrival of the new fifth-year, he hadn’t paid it much mind.

    So if you told him that she would soon best him in a duel, cure his sister of her curse, and completely and utterly steal his heart—well, he wouldn’t have believed you.

    But, here they are.

    Summary

    After a five-year stretch at St. Mungo’s, Heather Yarrowfield is called back to Hogwarts, the site of both the best and worst memories of her life. The complicated relationship she has with the castle is centered around one ex-Auror Potions master, whose disapproval has weighed on Heather’s mind since the day she left the grounds. She finds, however, that many opportunities wait for her at Hogwarts, including resolution for an old misunderstanding and fertile ground for new feelings to grow for the both of them. However, it's harder to put the past to rest than either of them had anticipated.
