Summary
Harry Potter runs into Marcus Flint during his first visit to Diagon Alley, changing the course of his life. Harry looks up at Marcus and decides that the older boy will be his big brother one way or another! Marcus is drawn to Harry and is protective of him. He decides to teach Harry everything he knows, from riding a broom to the Dark Arts! Harry takes to it all swimmingly and decides to follow Marcus once more into becoming a Dark Wizard.
As they grow up, the two brothers will face a myriad of challenges as the world pushes back against their relationship, and it will only get worse as Harry gets older.

Summary
“Cody…” Obi-Wan said softly, his expression shifting. His eyelashes fluttered faintly, a sudden nervousness creeping across his face—an expression the commander had never before seen directed at him. “I… I didn’t think you would do this here, now, if at all. I had perhaps a small idea of your affections after Scarif, but I didn’t believe you would be so bold. Though, with both of us grievously injured, I suppose you thought you had no choice but to be bold…”
Then the Jedi traitor looked at the commander with what could only be described as devastatingly sincere heart-eyes as the tension melted from his jaw, replaced by a relaxed, almost dreamy look. “Oh, Cody… I love you, too…”
Cody blinked once, then twice, then uttered a strangled, “Huh—ghhnnghh…?”
__________Or: After Cody’s inhibitor chip is accidentally activated early, Obi-Wan, who is Stewjoni, where combat and courtship are often one and the same, mistakes his dear commander’s murder attempts for courting.

Summary
‘Christmas Courting’ or ‘Yuletide Courting’ is an ancient ritual that many Pure-blood wizards - and all members of the Sacred 28 - go through when choosing their intended. A notice is published to the public on the 1st of December announcing their intention of beginning the ritual. Ten Courting Rituals are chosen from the suitable options for the time by the Courtee and their family.
Draco has no family, limited prospects and a legacy he needs to live up to, so on the 1st of December his name is published on the Christmas Courting list with Blaise backing him through the process as suiters vie for his hand. The Malfoy name is still worth something in the right circles.
Harry barely manages to fit in work, life and coffee into each day. When he accidently applies to Malfoy’s Courting it quickly takes up more time than it should. He doesn’t want to win … just … he’ll make up an excuse later.
Malfoy has always been a bit of an obsession, of course he’d have time for that.

Summary
“I know you don’t trust me,” Derek grunted. When Stiles inhaled to retort, Derek caught his chin and pressed a finger against his lips, making the boy freeze in place, eyes impossibly wide. “Don’t argue. I expected it. Wolves don’t trust easily, too. I just wanted you to know that… I’m sorry. I was selfish and didn’t see what was in front of me. You don’t need to worry. I’ll take care of everything.”
It was a thought that grew in his mind, spread to his heart and took root there, reincorporating into a deep desire and a vital need. Derek will take care of him and his little pup, he’ll bring the hearts of his enemies and put them at the boy’s feet. He’ll court and he’ll conquer.

Summary
Harry finds out he's a Veela. That's not so bad, and then he finds out his allure only works on his enemies. Even that's not so bad, since his safe, boring, post-war life means he doesn't have very many enemies these days.
And then Draco Malfoy lands a hot air balloon in his front garden, intent on courting him.

The Courting Rituals of the Alpha Prince by SparksSnow, TheCraftyCarver
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia
25 Feb 2023
Summary
Katsuki had a fake marriage with a kid in the playground one day, but then the kid disappeared like he was never there to begin with. 20 years later, he recieves a letter stating that his marriage to the prince in a foreign country is now seen as valid.
Or, a story in which Katsuki realizes that he fucked up. But it all turns out for the better. Through a lot of trial and error.
There will be smut, probably more than there should be, and a lot of secondhand embarrassment that is a little funny at least.
More tags as this progresses.

Freedom in Red Anthology by likethesoda

06 Jun 2022
Summary
An intense, violent, terrifying group vision leads the Jedi to abandon ship and run from the Republic, taking the Vode with them.
Anthology containing:
Cadet in the Cupboard
Kote hears a sound in a cupboard, and immediately adopts what made it.
Beetles and Crickets
“Sorry, sir, I got distracted because I thought I saw–” He started, trying his best to keep his voice level. Obi-Wan sat back down to watch the proceedings. He definitely did not see Cody turning on his bucket-cam where it sat on his knee.
“General Skywalker eating a beetle? Yes, you have good eyes, Captain.” Rex stopped breathing.
Visions in Red
“Never.” Master Windu says. Anakin squeezes his eyes shut and takes a shaky breath. “Look at me, Knight Skywalker.”
And he does, looks into the fierce scowl and knows it is not directed at him. Windu looks determined, not angry. More tears fall down his cheeks, get caught on the councilors thumbs.
“Do you understand me?” He continues quietly. Nearly whispering, though it’s so quiet everyone can hear them regardless. “You are a Jedi. You are under my protection. I will never. Not while your eyes are blue, not while you still have Light within you, and not while there is someone else upon which to lay blame.”The Jedi suffer a mass vision, one of death and horror. One of the end of the Order and the Republic. In order to prevent this and save their family, in order to plan, they run to far corners of the galaxy. They lock down as hard as they possibly can. It allows them to truly reflect, for the first time in decades.
