Summary
Bored and ankles-deep in delinquency — Remus Lupin’s got life all dried up for him. He’s reckless and hungry for way more than this so-called quaint town can give.
Meanwhile, Sirius Black is seventeen and a devilishly handsome embodiment of the teenage dream. He drinks, he smokes, and is absolutely in love with life itself.
Remus Lupin would’ve been in love with life too; and that is if he didn’t have the annoyingly good-looking boy from across the road driving him to madness.
But hey, madness always sounded better with a shit-ton of music in the background, right?

Friendships don't always end with slammed doors or final goodbyes...but the ending can still be visible at the end of the tunnel. Sometimes, friendships end in whispers, conversations that grow shorter, forgotten promises, or a birthday message that grows shorter every year.
Friends are tenants of the heart. Some stay long term, some come and go.- Language:

Summary
Dahyun's will to live had already exited the building, so what was one more thing to lose. Her mind was next and with the way everything was going at the moment she really had no idea how long she would be able to do this.
Even if Dahyun didn't really believe in a future for herself anymore, she also didn't account for all the changes that got kickstarted and a certain someone with a skateboard in their hand entering her life.
What followed next was an exploration of trauma, identity, love and rebuilding of trust that neither Dahyun or Kaede would have ever expected to happen.
It would definitely be worth it though… if she bothers to stick around that is.

Summary
Mara-lynn was the only constant in Jeongin's life before fame took over, and a bitter misunderstanding drove them apart. Years after she moved back to the States, Mara-lynn returns to Korea- not as a part of his world, but as a total outsider living a quiet, anonymous life. When their paths collide, the spark isn't just rekindled; it's volatile. To the public, Jeongin is an unreachable icon, but to Mara-lynn, he's simply the boy who broke her heart. Trapped in a cycle of defensive barbs and icy indifference, they realize the distance they built over the years is no match for their shared history. As they are forced back into each other's orbits, they must decide if their past is a bridge to be rebuilt or a ghost they need to finally bury.

Because this time… it’s not just about falling.
It’s about choosing to stay.

Summary
“Yes. I think it matters.” James is shocked at how soft his own voice is, but even more so at the pause in her footsteps. They’re quiet for a second, and then he hears them approaching.
“Why?” She asks, slowly, slowly walking back towards him, rejoining him at the wall. “Two more years at this place and nobody will care how many O.W.L.s we got last year or who was a prefect or Quidditch captain. Voldemort won’t care. This,” she gestures at the air around her, “won’t mean anything when we leave here.”
“But it means something now, doesn’t it?”
–
It is sixth year and everything has changed, everything is changing, nothing is the same, nothing is different at all.
This is a story of love and of loss (like every story that has ever been told), and of growing pains and growing up. Lily Evans, James Potter, Sirius Black, new friendships forged and old ones not forgotten, alone and not alone with their changing minds, falling in love and falling into place when the walls are falling down around them, everything is falling out from under them.
OR
A long form, slow burn, canon compliant tale of Lily Evans and James Potter, and all the people they love, have loved, have lost.

Summary
You never thought you would join MK’s group and become friends with the Sun Wukong. For a long time, you couldn’t maintain close relationships - people used you for their own benefit so you closed off your heart. Still, now, you went to sleepovers, training, helped with MK’s orders and you even went to see Macaque’s shadow plays (despite everyone advising you it was a terrible idea), when you didn’t have shifts at your family’s restaurant. But, even slithers of hope like this can suddenly make you feel lonely. Everyone slowly started to forget to invite you, or there weren’t enough tickets to events. It made you feel secondary, and the only time you interacted seemed to be when a villain popped up. Only one person seems to notice, and it starts something unexpected and it becomes even stranger when your enemy becomes your friend.
[This starts in Season 1, Episode 11 - Macaque. Will also be posting this on my Wattpad]

Summary
Theo tried to stop the vile eruption in his lungs, yet the coughing spurs still burst from his chest as violent as ever.
When suddenly, he felt something dislodge from the back of throat.
This was it. It was happening. The best he could do now was damage control.
He knelt down onto the spruce floors his hands latched onto the dry wood.
With one final, wracking cough, something came softly tumbling out from his mouth.
It wasn't vomit, nor blood, nor anything that would normally come out of someone's body.
It was a flower.
A gentle, soft, pure white, angel's trumpet flower.
