    Summary

    "But you know what?" Clark continues, lifting his hand to the side of Bruce's face. He traces Bruce's cheek with his thumb, slow and gentle. Bruce looks back up at him, expression guarded, eyes almost uncertain. "Every moment I was apart from you these last few weeks felt like a heartbreak, too."

    Bruce swallows. For a few seconds, he says nothing.

    "That's how it feels for me," Clark continues quietly, though the words hurt as much as they ease the pain. "And I only realized what it meant when I saw you again tonight."

     

    (Or, It starts as a no-strings-attached arrangement. It ends with love lost and found.)

    Summary

    John Lennon is a surly, angry, sloppy drunk who has just realized that the dream he achieved has left him miserable, that he is living in the suburbs with Cynthia and will probably never have the life he really wants. It's pretty angsty, both for him, and for Paul McCartney.

    Summary

    A process is recursive when it defines or contains itself; e.g., the Fibonacci sequence, which determines the next number as the sum of the previous two.

    But not all recursive processes are mathematical. Recursion can happen in a temporal context when, for instance, the powerful magical force that is true love drags you back in time so it can create itself, endangering the fate of the Wizarding World—not to mention the very fabric of space and time—along the way.

    Summary

    Harry stares, baffled. “So Malfoy’s actually stalking me?”

    Hermione looks alarmed. “Oh, I didn’t mean it in a nefarious way—” but a slow, goofy grin is already spreading across Harry’s face.

    “Merlin’s shaggy beard—”

    “Harry, don’t do—”

    “—that’s so romantic!”

    Summary

    As post-war violence and tensions rise, it seems as if there’s no hope to unify the wizarding world. Except, maybe, a manufactured relationship between resident Saviour Harry Potter and known purveyor of the Dark Arts Draco Malfoy. (The fact that they detest each other is beside the point.)

    But as Draco’s unrelenting mind games begin to wear him down, Harry has to remind himself that it’s all fake. The relationship is fake. The affection is fake. The pet names, the romance — even the engagement photos are fake.

    But there’s something in Draco’s kiss that might just be real.
