Summary
Following her kiss with Rupert, it’s been six months and Taggie has moved to London to pursue her culinary dreams, leaving behind the complexities of her relationship with Rupert. As she navigates the challenges of culinary school while managing her dyslexia, memories of their passionate moments haunt her, particularly that fateful kiss that changed everything. As the distance between them grows, Taggie struggles with the pain of being seen as a second choice and never good enough while Rupert wrestles with his fears of failure and the pressure to meet expectations.
In London to pursue business dealings for Venturer, Rupert grapples with the weight of his commitments, caught between his feelings for Taggie and his obligations to his business partners and the company.
When their paths cross again, unresolved emotions bubble to the surface, forcing them to confront the choices that led them apart.

You know what they say...what happens at academic conferences goes down in history.
In this case, the emphasis very much is on the going down.

Summary
Prince Dennis Targaryen, first of his name, was never meant to sit the Iron Throne.
Prince Dennis Targaryen, first of his name, became a Westerosi King of such legend that they spoke his name with reverence a thousand years on.
"Hello, little nephew," Robby says, voice low, looking down at him. "My. Haven't you grown."
He has. He flushes, just a touch. Robby, too, has changed. He looks older. A little more lined, just a little. He's kept the scruff that men seem to favour when on the battlefield, and it suits him. He looks like a terrible, dangerous King.

Summary
A short-lived series of private lessons took place after Christmas in Harry Potter's fifth school year, during which Severus Snape attempted to teach Harry the skill of Occlumency. The lessons were ultimately cancelled when Harry was caught prying into Snape's memories, discovering the strangest things: A mysterious prophecy connected Harry's fate with Voldemort's, Harry's dad was an insufferable bully, and Severus Snape had been in love with Harry's mum. Naturally, Harry now has a million questions. Snape would prefer to answer none.
The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes. The same question arises in every soul: "For what, for whom, must I kill and be killed?"
...Or, a classic approach to stubbornness.

2. To reduce to a submissive stateShatter
1. To break at once into pieces
2. to damage badly : ruin“You think this will ease your suffering,” Severus said, squeezing Harry’s wrists still clasped in his hands. “But it won’t. It will destroy you.” I will destroy you.
“I want you to,” Harry murmured, and Severus' resistance wasn't enough to keep him from being pulled closer, Potter’s breath feathering across his lips. And in some ways, the fact that his eyes were closed made it worse - made the words whispered against his mouth all the more obscene: “I want you to tear me apart.”***
Harry and Severus tumble into an intensely inappropriate physical relationship after events at Headquarters spiral out of control. Severus, digging his heels in, tries to stop, but he is just not strong enough.

Summary
NOW WITH ART!
Steady:
1. Not easily disturbed or upset
2. Constant in feeling, principle, purpose, or attachment“Why does it even matter if people get suspicious?” Harry lay back and stretched, and Severus watched him do it. He was almost cat-like, with an unselfconscious grace that took him off guard each time he saw it. It was how he looked on a broomstick. The absolute master of his body. Harry looked over at him staring, and smiled.
Oh, that smile.
Unguarded. Uncomplicated. Free, and easy. It made Severus feel drunk with power to put an expression like that on his face. He lifted one of Harry’s hands to his lips and kissed his knuckles. I love you, he thought. It was becoming almost routine, thinking that. I love you. Almost normal. Almost tolerable to hold in his mind, now.Series
