Summary
The corner of Remus’s mouth twitches, amusement fighting its way onto his face. “Let me get this straight,” he says. “You expect me to jeopardize my friendship with Marlene by asking her on a date that neither of us have any interest in going on just because you decided to date our other friend who you don’t even like enough to spend two hours alone with?”
Moony has a funny way of making things sound so ridiculous. “It’s not that I don’t want to be alone with Mary," Sirius clarifies, "I’ll just have a better time with her if you’re there, obviously.”
* * * *
It’s the talk of Hogwarts: Sirius, Mary, Marlene, and Remus are dating. Who’s dating who? That's harder to say.

Summary
At the cottage, when Ilya suggested he could marry Svetlana, Shane said "Don't marry Svetlana. Marry me. Here. Next summer."
Canon rewrite where I completely rewrite the Long Game because I didn't like it. Instead, Ilya and Shane remain playing for Montreal and Boston, dating in secret, slowly coming out to friends and family on their own terms. After getting married, they finally feel safe to come out to their teams. Montreal reacts badly, but instead of making himself smaller, Shane realizes that he would never be enough for them. So, he decides Montreal can get fucked and he's coming out out of spite. Ilya is ecstatic.
I remain faithful to these complex characters and the reality of the world they live in while also allowing Shane the time and space to realize that his love for both Ilya and hockey are all that matter and the consequences are not so important.

Summary
Harry Styles knows how to be seen.
He knows how to smile for cameras, how to make people feel like they know him, and how to exist under constant observation. What he isn’t prepared for is what happens when all the noise dies down and someone looks at him without expecting a performance.
Louis Tomlinson was never meant to be more than a moment, just a red carpet exchange and a shared smile, something fleeting. But Harry remembers everything, and he reaches out, and suddenly, something real begins to form in the quiet, away from the eyes of the world.
With Harry, everything softens. The silence feels safe, and the air feels easier to breathe. Their relationship lives behind closed doors in hidden rooms, late nights, and moments that belong only to them. It’s intimate and fragile and terrifying in its sincerity because loving each other means hiding, waiting, and accepting that some things can never be claimed out loud.
This is a story about stolen time and quiet devotion, about intimacy that exists in the margins, and the kind of love only the people living it truly know.

A big grin broke over Lana’s face and she stuck out her hand.
“So you’re Lois. I’m Lana.”
“It’s good to finally meet you.” Lois grinned at her.
Lana plopped down beside Lois and dug into the eggs, “It’s good to meet you too! Pa, your eggs are still the best.”
“Thank you. You and Jenny been doing alright?”
“Yeah, Jenny’s still asleep, I just heard about…” Lana stared at the eggs for a quiet moment before she perked up, “So, Jimmy, Lois, you and Clark did a fantastic job on the article!”
“He’s gonna be okay, Lana.” Jimmy said quietly.
Lana met his eyes with a small smile. “I know. He always is somehow. And hey, while he’s sleeping I got all the embarrassing childhood pictures to show you.”
“Ooh!” Lois leaned over as Lana pulled out her phone and clicked on an album labeled ‘Blackmail for Clark’.

READ FIRST FOR SERIES CONTEXT!
Since (for the time being) I'll be posting this series as multiple disjointed scenes, here is some basic context that should help keep up with who's who and what's what. I've avoided as many actual plot spoilers as possible, however Chapter 3 does have quite a few (it's labeled)—though if you're familiar with Arthurian myth then certain bits may be obvious.Series
