    Summary

    Life is not always fair, especially when you're the super thief Carmen San Diego. But, alas, this story is not about her (or at least not really.)
    Down in Sydney, Australia, an old classmate suffering from "amnesia" is approached by suited agents who claim they work for a secret crime-catching organization called "ACME." Their number one target, the root of all their problems, is one lady in red. A lady in red that, as far as they can tell, Graham Calloway is quite "cozy" with.
    Though reluctant to accept at first, Graham is forced to consider that perhaps Carmen is not a "good guy" after all. And as the only VILE-unaffiliated link to la femme rogue, it falls on him to get to the bottom of the age old question: where in the world is Carmen San Diego?

    Summary

    In 2013, a carefully-designed Obliviation leaves Harry reconfiguring his life and identity without any memories of true love; an act that's essentially erased Draco Malfoy from his mind despite a wedding band and shared home.

    In 2000, Draco had expected Pansy's relationship with Luna to bring the Gryffindors a bit closer to his orbit of quiet, carefully pacifistic existence, but he never expected to navigate such a transparent embrace into a unit of family, friendship, and love.

    A mystery, two love stories, and a reminder that learning to love never has an end date.

    Summary

    After five years of secret dating, Draco decides the only proper way to "go public" is by gaslighting their friends into a state of clinical insanity. From "invisible" lap-sitting to "hallucinated" hickeys, Harry and Draco spend their eighth year treating their peers like they’ve lost their minds—only to drop the act with one final, very public, and incredibly annoying kiss.

    Summary

    Ling had traced the Vulpecula constellation with an elegant finger and told Ed he’d been born under the autumn constellation. That his mother said he was destined to grow up plagued by hardships and strife but would find fortune and love under the same stars.

     

    He said he was born in the year of the ‘little fox’, and Ed had laughed, told him it was fitting.

     

    Ling had taken Ed’s hand and together pointed towards the horizon, drawing an erratic path between stars that Ed hadn’t recognized. Told him he was born in the year of the dung beetle because he was a little shit. Emphasis on the ‘little’.

     

    “Wouldn’t we be the same animal?” Ed had asked. “We’re the same age.” And Ling smiled, the soft one that never failed to make Ed’s knees go weak, and admitted that technically Ed was older by a scant thirteen months, but it hadn’t been worth mentioning because Western ages are rather primitive and unimaginative and they lack soul and ingenuity and Ed had cut him off with a fistful of grass to the face, the night dissolving into the carefree laughter that Ed has only ever been able to attribute to Ling.
