Summary
A Muggle AU in which a ballet dancer and a rugby player call it “casual” while accidentally developing feelings, catastrophically failing at communication, and pretending it’s all totally fine.
----
“Why the hell are you here ruining my lunch, James?”
James rubbed a hand over the back of his neck, trying to find words that didn’t sound completely insane.
He failed.
“I... don’t think you should be sleeping with Evan anymore.”
Regulus stared at him like he’d just proposed murdering the Queen.
(...)
“If you need a fuck buddy for, you know, stress relief and stuff… You could just use me.”
(...)
“Come again?”
“If the position’s open,” James said, attempting a grin, “I’m applying.”----

Summary
“Is it cause you used to have a crush on me?” Mike asked, abruptly.
“What!” It was Will’s turn to blush harder, giving him a glare reserved for Mike Wheeler and Mike Wheeler only. “No. God. That was ages ago. I’ve been past that for a long time.”
Mike motioned like he’d made his point. “See? So? It wouldn’t be weird.”
So, Mike likes guys. Fine, Will can live with that. Except now Mike's worried about having fallen behind and would really like some help practicing how to kiss a guy from his also-into-guys best friend. And Will is trying really, really hard to be a good mentor to him, so what is he going to do, say no?

Summary
With everything having gone completely off the rails (explosively, irreversibly, and quite literally), the Order of the Phoenix are busy picking up the pieces and fighting the war the Ministry still insists isn't actually a war.
Meanwhile, Draco Malfoy has his own far more pressing concerns:
* Where are the remaining Horcruxes hiding?
* Who’s auditioning to replace him as Riddle's unwilling accomplice?
* When, exactly, can he see Harry (his boyfriend, thanks for asking!!!) again without it being a high-stakes ordeal?
* Why is he being harassed by a kooky old time wizard?And the dreams about flying? The ludicrously odd things that keep happening? Well, that's completely normal for magical puberty...
Probably.

Summary
Remus is a PhD student and hobbyist baker who finds himself adrift following his father’s death. On a whim, he enters the Great British Bake Off and is swept up in a flurry of curdled custard, shrunken souffle, and under-proved dough. Remus expects to be challenged and to embarrass himself on public television. What he doesn’t account for are the friendships he develops with the other contestants and the deep connection he forms with his teenage crush, Sirius Black: charming ex-boy band member and Bake Off presenter.
or,
Sirius groans, dropping his head back into his hands. “It’s the dough,” he mumbles into the skin of his palms. “It’s the kneading. It’s his hands. They’re obscene.”
Lily laughs. “They are a bit, aren’t they?”
