    Summary

    After Harry blows up Aunt Marge, Dumbledore decides it's not safe for Harry to spend the rest of the summer at the Leaky Cauldron, and instead sends him to stay at Spinner’s End with Professor Snape.

    It's tense, awkward, and teeming with misunderstandings...but it might be the best thing that's happened to either of them. They're both been without a family for a very long time.

    Summary

    On Harry's 10th birthday, he falls gravely ill. So ill that the Dursleys, after days of leaving the boy in agony, are forced to take him to the hospital. When Muggle medicine fails, Severus Snape is the one to answer the call for aid. He soon realizes that all he has been told of the boy's 'pampered', 'loved' and 'spoiled' life have been utter fabrications.

    When Severus sees the depths to which Albus Dumbledore is willing to sink to play games with their lives, he decides he must protect the boy from the Headmaster, before it is too late.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander, Captain of the Argent polo team, is on a path to success after spending years making his name as a championship rider across the Nine Isles. Nothing distracts him from his goals - he can get quite boring about it - until his resolve is tested by an outlandish, scandalous birthday present from a terrible influence.

    AKA: 4 times Shane receives a pleasure slave for his birthday, and 1 time he doesn’t.

    Complete: 15/15, 150k. Will be posted steadily as I fix all the formatting (thanks, Ellipsus!)

    Summary

    Moving in with the colleague you’d like to fuck is a bad idea for anyone. It’s worse when you’re a card-carrying member of the eternal dead. It’s exponentially worse when your already garlic-obsessed colleague-slash-crush-slash-roommate has recently discovered his distant Italian heritage.

    In which Draco tries desperately to hide that he’s recently become a vampire, and Harry tries desperately to feed him.
