Summary
Here’s the thing, Kon was objectively the correct choice. His Kryptonian DNA and lab-grown origin meant that he could speak every language fluently (including French), he was definitely available — since he did very little outside of Young Justice business — and with a little coaching he’d probably fit right in with all those art nerds.
Subjectively, though, Kon posed an issue.
Tim was majorly in love with him.
OR
An uptick in art crime leads Tim and Kon on a mission to Paris. Things get complicated when the mission begins feeling like a romantic getaway.

Summary
Three years after the Battle of Hogwarts, Narcissa Malfoy calls in the debt Harry has owed her since the Forbidden Forest. Her price is elegantly simple: be seen with her son.
For six months, they must endure a carefully staged civility that the wizarding press can interpret however it likes: Ministry events, art gallery openings, public coffee dates in Diagon Alley. Harry agrees because he owes a life-debt. Draco agrees because he has no better options, and because it offers the rehabilitation his reputation badly needs.
Both tell themselves it is a purely professional arrangement. Both genuinely mean it. Both are completely wrong.
A reimagining of The Taming of the Shrew, where the 'taming' is mutual and both of them are the shrew.

Summary
Bitten at sixteen and bonded to Potter at nineteen as a last-ditch effort by the Order to save the Saviour from himself, Draco had come to terms with the cold reality of their arrangement. Potter needed a mate and Draco needed his mother free from Azkaban. Neither of them needed anything else. Not affection, or friendship, or love, no matter how tempting.
And for many years, it works. Draco lives in England. Potter does not.
But at twenty-nine, Draco becomes London’s newest Alpha and long overdue decisions need to be made. He’s not too worried, though. Getting Potter to agree to dissolving a bond he never wanted shouldn’t be too hard.
Should it?

Summary
It’s the speech he has received since he was old enough to remember. The importance of power, of connections and the mix of money and fear that can open doors and change or avoid laws. This is supposed to be his legacy, not the manor, not the vaults. This is what he was trained and molded to do.
Potter is furious now. Good. This is what he knows, this is how their dynamic should be. “You spoiled git. Do not talk about Sirius. He was better than any member of your inbred family.”
Draco enjoys getting the reaction too much to hide it. “I am spoiled? That’s rich coming from your privileged ass. And, technically, he was part of my inbred family, so…”
“How am I privileged?”
“Oh, I don’t know, how about we ask every teacher and figure of authority around?"A collection of meetings between Harry and Draco throughout the years. A story that is based on them being constants in each other’s lives and being there one way or another in every phase of life.
The story is starting in 1997, going at least 10 years, but we’ll see where life takes us. One year per chapter, but chapter length will vary. Weekly updates on Tuesdays.Shelves: Harry Potter

how to fake-date a hero (hero license optional) by flashfreeze (winter_parrot)
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia (Anime & Manga)
20 May 2026
Summary
Izuku is fresh out of Hero school, back in Japan, and fighting to make a name for himself in the face of the HPSC's bullshit. Almost getting arrested for vigilantism after a midnight conbini run was not in his plans. Nor was fake-dating the responding hero.
“I am not fake-dating Todoroki Shouto!” Izuku yelled into his phone, his voice pitchy with denial.
“Why not? It’d be good for both of you,” Ichiko said, like it was a perfectly sane idea to propose.
The problem with having a hypercompetent friend for a PR manager was that, well, she was hypercompetent. And when she came up with an idea as insane as fake dating Todoroki Shouto, it actually sounded sensible somehow. It would, in fact, help Izuku’s popularity and ranking and even his campaign to finally get HPSC sign-off on his license. And it would, in fact, probably help Todoroki Shouto to have a whirlwind romance for a few months, if only to be something other than Endeavor’s perfect heir for a little while. A win-win situation for both of them.
There was just the teensy-weensy problem of fake dating Todoroki Shouto. Which was, of course, absolutely fucking ridiculous. And insane. And unthinkable!Shelves: My Hero Academia

Congrats, it’s triplets (Now grab them and run)
It’s the first day after Winter break with snow quietly falling outside the large, gothic windows, though you can hardly get anyone to go out into the cold, especially this early in the morning. For the past week, Harry had been trying to scrape together all his supposed bravery that let him get into Gryffindor, and the current peaceful atmosphere of the mid-breakfast Great Hall really isn’t helping his nerves right now.
“Hey, Hermione?” he casually asks over the buttered toast on his plate he hadn’t touched since Ron put it there. His hands are cold and wet and shaking and he hates it. “Do you think I have any living relatives outside the Dursleys?”
***Or: what if the Golden Trio decided that fuck it, they are getting Harry out of the Dursleys? Which of course means that they need a way to do that, which results in an impromptu break-in into the Restricted Section, some questionable decisions, and… Accidental Parent Acquisition.
Because I’m a sucker for Parent Tom Riddle, apparently.
***HP doesn’t belong to me and I don’t own any of the canon characters or accidental quotes from the book.
New year (New me)
Having successfully blackmailed their resurrected dark lord into becoming their dad (and then collecting all sorts of family members), Harry, Ron and Hermione have happily absconded to the other side of the oceanfor the school year. But what does that leave the ones in Magical Britain with?
(Chaos, as it turns out.)This story is part of a series. If you haven’t yet done so, check out the prequel to this: Congrats, it’s triplets (Now grab them and run)! We really veered off canon with that one. This won’t really make sense without it.
Extras, or whatever I did while not writing the main fic

Summary
After his closeted fiancé calls off their engagement, Draco refuses to sit across from his parents, Theo, and Theo's newly arranged bride-to-be without some kind of retribution. He wants a temporary stand-in fiancé to keep his parents from their I-told-you-so. Someone to weather the traditional Twelve Days of Christmas with. What he gets is Harry Potter.
As a straight man, maybe Harry shouldn't jump on the opportunity to be another man's fake significant other, but he's pretty secure in his sexuality. Harry can sacrifice for the sake of justice. The more he gets to know this adult Draco, the more his curiosity gets the best of him. While everyone else seems to have their lives together, Draco is the first person who seems just as confused about how to manage as he is.
Together, they have to survive the family dinners from hell, every guest the Malfoys invite to their home for the holiday season, and the pitfalls of liking each other more than either is willing to admit.

Summary
Malfoy was up to something. Or something was up with Malfoy. Either way, it couldn't be Harry's fault that he was irrevocably drawn to him.
This is a story about a journey to distant shores, about redefining who you are, about a change of perspective.
And snakes.

Summary
He was, unfortunately, very handsome. If his personality was any better Kon might call him gorgeous. (And he didn’t use that word for just anyone.)
“Oh, no, darling. I would remember a face like yours. The name’s Timmie Drake-Wayne, friends can call me Tim.” He offered out a hand, seemingly to shake.
But as soon as Kon went to shake it, Timmie brought his hand up to his mouth and left a quick kiss on the back of Kon’s hand.
Kon hated the way it made him blush.
Or, the one in which Kon meets Timmie Drake-Wayne, incorrigible flirt, and pretends to be dating his teammate "Rob" to get out of it. Lucky for, both of them, really, Red Robin has been given the go ahead to reveal his identity, and Clark assumed the reveal had already happened.
Or, OR, Tim flirts and flirts, then flirts some more until Kon connects the dots that his pretty teammate and this pretty socialite might be one in the same.

it's nice to have a friend (english version) by Ginxparker, tddkinlove
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia (Anime & Manga)
12 Oct 2025
Summary
“I want to make a proposal to you.” He finally takes his eyes off the screen of the laptop and turns completely towards them, making a graphic visible. “This graph demonstrates that being part of a superhero couple considerably increases the popularity of heroes, even those in queer relationships. You two could pretend to be in a relationship, it would be beneficial for both.”
Amidst the frantic world of heroes, hero number three Shouto Todoroki and hero number one Izuku Midoriya receive an unexpected proposal: to fake a relationship. The idea is simple — maintain their popularity in the hero ranking even while coming out as queer, something that could pressure the Japanese government and open doors for future generations of LGBTQ+ heroes.
When you get two of the greatest heroes of all time together in a fake relationship and one of them is in love with the other, it's a recipe for disaster. And everyone wants a piece of it.

Summary
It’s Pansy’s fault, really, for inviting Draco’s Quidditch star ex and his new boytoy to her wedding cruise. Desperate times call for desperate measures, and nothing is more desperate than asking the only other wizard in England who can compete in both looks and fame to fake being in love with him for seven days.
The fact that Potter is also his boss, roommate, and occasional friend should make it easier.
So Draco has it handled. Everything is fine.
Draco's an exceptional liar and Potter is…well, admittedly Potter is becoming a problem.
