Summary
A collection of shorts I've posted to Bluesky or written just for fun
Yes, I know a drabble is 100 words. None of these are only 100 words because I'm a wordy girl, but I liked the title, so for my sake just pretend it fits.

Summary
When James learns the man he’s been dating in secret is engaged to someone who isn’t him, Sirius decides to throw together an impromptu trip to his family’s holiday home in order to cheer up his best friend.
When they arrive, however, it’s to discover the house already occupied by Regulus and his friends. Sirius insists it’s big enough for everyone, and maybe it is…
Except that Regulus’s unrequited crush on his brother’s best friend takes up far too much space.

Summary
James sometimes thought he didn’t really understand much of anything.
Sure, there were things he knew, he understood as fact, like:
His two best friends—and his flatmates—were together, and they were very much in love.
James, on the other hand, was single. He was not in a relationship with anyone, and certainly not with his in-love mates.
But then, James didn’t understand why sometimes he felt like he was.
Why, at odd moments, Sirius planted a sweet kiss on his mouth, his tongue grazing James’s bottom lip until he opened for him.
Why, sometimes, Remus placed a proprietary hand across his throat, ghosting his lips over James’s jaw and whispering praise into his ear.

Summary
Regulus Black’s disappointing quidditch career comes to an even more disappointing end when he sustains an injury in practice, grounding him for good. With a desire to stay close to the action, Regulus takes a job as a junior sports writer at the Daily Prophet. When the senior writer contracts Spattergroit, the Prophet’s sports editor has no choice but to offer Regulus the opportunity of a lifetime: follow the England National Team as it makes its first Quidditch World Cup run in over a century.
James Potter’s time is running out. Since he was a kid, he’s known that he would not only play quidditch, but he’d be on the team that finally got England back to the World Cup. At the age of twenty-five, he feels he’s already near the end of his career, and he only has one last shot to make his dream come true.
Another dream of James’? Getting his best friend’s brother to agree to give him a chance. Fortunately, Regulus is stuck with him, but only as long as James and his team keep winning.
It’s a good thing luck always seems to be on James Potter’s side.

Summary
"Plants and fashion aren’t so different,” Pansy said, setting down the tray. “Both require understanding of form and function, of how material behaves under different conditions.” She handed him a cup, their fingers brushing in the exchange. “Both create beauty from raw potential.”
“I’ve never thought of it that way,” Neville admitted. “But it makes perfect sense.”
***
When Professor Sprout recruits Pansy Parkinson for a summer project propagating rare magical orchids, she expects soil-stained hands and tedious hours in humid greenhouses—not the slow, inexorable pull toward the man she once mercilessly mocked.
Forced to face her past and test who she has become, Pansy is met with an undeniable truth.
Summer plants the seeds of possibility.
Autumn tests what fragile roots have formed.
Winter forces them to choose what's worth nurturing.
And spring...
Spring reveals what flourishes when unlikely gardeners tend to each other's deepest soil.-or-
Some seeds take longer to germinate than others, but with the right conditions—with patience and care—even the most guarded heart can bloom.

Summary
Pansy Parkinson was tired of being looked over.
She was the one who dated a Death Eater – a situation they both agreed was a mistake. The one who tried to give up the Chosen One to the Dark Lord – an oversight, if you will. The vapid, bitchy heiress who got through the war scot-free (mostly).
That’s all she was to people, however, when Harry Potter ran his fingers down the side of her arm and asked for her help… she was done for.
OR
Auror Pansy Parkinson has been stuck filing paperwork since she was hired. When offered an opportunity to work on a case with Harry Potter she can't say no. Even if it requires them to pretend they're dating, infiltrate a secret society, and steal back a historical artefact.

Summary
He froze hearing that name. James Potter. The name of the man his family expected him to be with. The man they carefully constructed an entire persona for. A man he shouldn’t have met in the back room of a cleverly disguised brothel. “What did you just say?” he spluttered.
“That’s my name,” James told him. He grinned, clearly amused by his flustered state. “James Potter.”
_______It's the 1920s James is a vampire. Regulus owns a burlesque club. Barty is unhinged.

Summary
Astoria Greengrass has one secret she can’t afford to share.
Pansy Parkinson has one rule she refuses to break.
To celebrate the centennial blossoming of his Flutterby bush, Professor Horace Slughorn invites the best, brightest, and most esteemed of the ton to his Derbyshire estate for the social event of the season. While Pansy and Astoria expect to find a brief respite from the burdens of expectation, they could not possibly predict what—or who—finds them instead.
But sometimes love blooms unexpectedly.
