Summary
The ghosts of Hermione’s past have risen, and they carry with them a message: Come home, come home, to where it all began. Driven to the cusp of sanity by a curse without a name, Hermione has no choice but to obey.
It’s silent as the grave in Wiltshire, and the manor stands nearly empty save for a dying woman and her reclusive son. But something stirs in Malfoy Manor that shouldn’t be there. Something with teeth.
And when she walks at night, she doesn't walk alone.

Summary
After recent events, Jason Todd and Stephanie Brown have been feeling lost and directionless but in different ways. Steph needs to find her Batgirl groove again after her death and resurrection, and Jason needs something to do that isn’t being in Gotham City or chasing after the Joker… or so he’s told.
When Steph stumbles upon a case involving a new street drug called Bliss, afflicting River City, she decides to go undercover as a student teacher to stop whoever is behind the new drug and hopefully find her hero mojo along the way. What she doesn’t expect is having Jason Todd as a partner, not to mention her growing feelings and attraction to him, that she’s been trying to ignore for years.
Going undercover with Steph was the last thing Jason wanted to do, but not because of her. If anything, working with her has always been the easiest thing in the world because they get along so well. The problem is dealing with his heart whenever he’s around her. Despite all his efforts to keep his feelings locked away, she always manages to stir something up inside him... and it scares him to death. Then again, he’s been dead before so maybe a moth has no choice but to fly into the flames.

Summary
Andy glances at Patrick with a look he can’t read, but it doesn’t seem to say ‘you’re fired, vacate the premises’ so he feels the looming threat of a heart attack back off slightly. He motions to the chair, and Patrick sinks in.
He does his best to look sheepish and avoid eye contact with Pete (he doesn't think his blush will score him any points with his fucking boss) and the smirk already painting his face. It’s infuriating how much hotter it makes him look.
“Stump," Andy says, like he doesn't know how much he's fucking up Patrick's life, "Meet your new partner.”
//
Or, a cop au in which all Patrick's been hoping for is to be given lead on the drug case his precinct has started investigating. And he does get it. Only his Lieutenant sees fit to give him a partner he really does not fucking want.

Summary
Paris, 2060. L'Europe est tombée sous le joug de la Fraternité eurasiatique, super-Etat dont la doctrine d'"Unité humaine" consiste à faire disparaître l'Histoire et la culture pour unifier les peuples. Depuis deux ans, les Orbes Pourpres, des drones tueurs de la Fraternité, sillonnent les rues de l'ancienne capitale en abattant à vue quiconque ose s'y déplacer. Les rares survivants se sont réfugiés dans les tunnels de métros, les égouts et les Catacombes, un labyrinthe de galeries qui est désormais leur prison.
Lorsque l'un de ces groupes de survivants comprend qu'aucun secours ne viendra de l'extérieur de Paris, ils décident de tout tenter pour fuir la ville. Mais, dans leur évasion, c'est autant leur passé que leur présent qu'ils devront affronter. Car, si certains d'entre eux s'étaient opposés à la Fraternité, d'autres ont au contraire activement soutenu son avènement. Sauront-ils affronter leurs dissensions en même temps que les Orbes ? Et l'ordinateur Omnys, l'intelligence artificielle à la tête des drones, les laissera-t-il seulement filer entre ses griffes ? Rien n'est moins sûr...

Hotel AU
From a lottery she never thought she'd win, [Y/N] is selected to take a secretary position at a prestigious hotel called Eden Hall. The job offers great benefits, it's got friendly staff, and the hotel looks exactly like its pictures.
Yet, there seems to be something odd about this new job. How can she turn a blind eye when clients pass the threshold, never to be seen at checkout? Or when the cute bellhop escorts them to their private suite, returning empty-handed with cherry red stains on his vest?
But as her folks would say, that's just silly little [Y/N] overthinking what she sees. Except this time, she's not wrong at all.

Summary
A semi-crime story about a Seoul policeman, Officer Kim, who finds himself constantly crossing paths with a peculiar young violinist, Jungkook.
Excerpt:
“Why the hell are you following me?” he blurted out.
“I, um...just wanted to assure that you are safe. This is a pretty dangerous area at this time of the evening,” the Officer Kim replied. The honey-deep tone was distracting, almost, until he digested what the man said. Wanting to prove a point, Jungkook turned his attention to the passing pedestrians: a group of teenagers laughing, a young mother with her toddler, and two elderly people clutching onto each other as they headed towards a crosswalk. He then looked down at himself: black combat boots, black pants, black tee, and bold tattoos covering his arm and hands. With a raised eyebrow, he stared back at Officer Kim.
“Ajummas are on the most wanted list in Seoul now?” Jungkook joked.

Summary
Dean is dying, the hellhounds are on their way to claim his soul, and Sammy is keeping away so he can work on that crazy plan of his to circumvent the contract and, hopefully, save Dean's life. To top it all off Dean is now being hunted by the FBI because clearing out a nest of vamps looks eerily similar to serial murder. Then you throw in the hazy memory of a one night stand with a sweater vest wearing nerd and things get even more complicated.
Spencer is in recovery. The Tobias Hankel incident is, supposedly, behind him and he's moving forward with his life. Or at least, he's trying to. But life never makes it easy, does it? Enter the weirdest case the BAU has ever come across. Victims walking around with dead blood running through their veins, beheaded bodies stacking up at an alarming rate, and enough missing persons cases to drown a city. Add in the one night stand he'd rather forget and you have a recipe for chaos.
Can the BAU solve this case? Or will the supernatural solve it for them?
