Summary
After a devastating breakup with Shane Hollander, Ilya Rozanov expects his off-season to be numb and lonely. Instead, he meets Dr. Alix Hatley, a Russian historian. Misunderstandings, many martinis, and even more feelings follow.
(Note: This fic is not Ilya/Shane endgame. I loved both characters equally in "Heated Rivalry" (book and show) but unfortunately did not like how Shane was portrayed in "The Long Game." On the other hand, Ilya just became more and more endearing throughout each of the books, so I thought I'd write a new love interest. Very excited for "Unrivaled" to come out in 2027 and hopefully will fall back in love with Shane then!)

Summary
Pansy has just moved back home and she needs to find a date to Draco’s wedding. Luckily her new neighbor is willing to help her find one.
Heavily inspired by a lot of different rom coms- See if you can figure out which ones!
This is wizards living in the muggle world. It’s 100% a Romantic Comedy and 100% a slow burn. And I’m obsessed with it. This is probably my favorite version of Neville.

She cut her eyes at him,
“What’s your problem with Enzo?”“My problem?”
“You don’t like him.”
Neville frowned,
“He’s fine.”“Neville!”
“No, I don’t like him.”
She scoffed,
“Why? What’s wrong with him?”He kept looking ahead,
“It’s just a personal preference.”She rolled her eyes,
“Why didn’t you tell me?”He shrugged,
“Why would it matter if I don’t like the guy that you want to sleep with?”Bookmarked by readingandruminating

Summary
When Pansy Parkinson finds herself with a baby on the way, a marriage contract torn to pieces, and abandoned by the lover that never truly loved her, she has no idea what to do. She's now the shame of her family and the favorite topic of conversation among the Pureblood gossips.
The last thing she expected was a letter from Neville Longbottom offering to marry her and raise the child as his own.
Leaving the excitement of London and Pureblood society behind for the quiet simplicity of a Yorkshire farm and quirky wizarding village is quite the culture shock. But it isn't just the change in scenery that surprises Pansy. Somehow the bullied boy she remembers from Hogwarts has grown into a handsome, confident man.
Could this become more than just a marriage of convenience? Can Pansy's broken heart be mended? Could Neville really be happy with a witch like her?
With a little magic anything is possible.

Summary
Draco’s body went slack and he fell to his knees before the tapestry. His entire body felt like it would combust, starting with his heart. Countless thoughts ran through his head; he felt like he was going to be sick again.
According to the tapestry, he had a daughter. A daughter born in 2003. No, no that couldn’t be possible. He hadn’t slept with anyone, he wasn’t seeing anyone. God forbid his obsession with Granger let him live a normal life with other women—
Granger.

There were many reasons Draco Malfoy couldn't confess his feelings to Hermione Granger. For one, they were both Aurors at the DMLE, partners to be exact. Second, he didn't believe he was good enough for her. So he did what every sane man does, spends one drunken night with her before transferring out of Wizarding London.
When he returns after five years, the Black Family Tapestry has magically sprouted a new descendant of the Black Family.
