    Summary

    Zuko has not known real peace since the day he faced his sister in their Agni Kai many years ago. No matter how many times he tried to bury it, his feelings for Katara refused to fade. At every shared meal, every sparring match, every return to the Fire Palace, he found himself hoping — just once — that her eyes would meet his and reignite the spark that had flared the moment he took Azula’s lightning for her... but they never did.

    Her gaze always found Aang instead, and, in time, Zuko taught himself to look away — for their sake, for the fragile balance of their friendship. The Avatar and the healer, bound together as if by fate.

    But when Katara comes to the Fire Nation during a quiet break from Aang, the Fire Lord begins to notice something he hadn’t allowed himself to see before. Whenever he looked away…

    She always looked back.

    Summary

    Following the end of the war, Draco Malfoy's probation sentence sends him back to Hogwarts for an eighth year. His plan is to keep his head down, his wand clean, and to avoid HER.

    Hermione Granger, adrift and in a bid to not become a ministry puppet, opts for an eighth year back at Hogwarts, dragging along Harry and Ron. But nothing feels the same. Not the castle, not her classmates, not her boyfriend, not even herself. And why does she keep confiding in the one person who makes no sense?

    Summary

    It was never meant to last.
    What was brief, reckless, and real was supposed to stay between them.

    It doesn't.

    When Draco Malfoy lands at Shell Cottage, nothing stays hidden. Every glance lingers a little too long, every silence says more than it should, and whatever exists between them, it doesn't fade. It deepens, shifts, and pulls them somewhere none of them ever meant to go—all as the war closes in, demanding choices they aren't ready to make.

    Under pressure, truth doesn't always come out clean.
    Sometimes, it fractures everything.

    Summary

    "That's a great idea you've come up with," Ron scoffs. "Putting those two in a room together for Merlin knows how long? Sorry, Remus, Kings, but that's madness. Neither of them wants that, and it won't be conducive to their work."

    "Ron..." Remus begins, but Malfoy cuts him off.

    "Actually," he says calmly, "it was all my idea."

    Hermione can't help but stare at him, her mouth agape.

    "As I'm sure you can imagine, Weasley," he continues, though his eyes never leave her, "I have a personal interest in seeing Granger's efforts crowned with success one day. And until then, I would like to support her. Not only with the knowledge I have acquired, but also with my body."
