Summary
Harry only meant to buy Christmas presents.
Instead, he found Draco Malfoy again, more than a decade after the war: owner of Wizarding London's best luxury apothecary, and had somehow become much, much fitter than Harry remembered.
Harry has questions, most of them inappropriate, and the only sensible thing to do with questions is investigate. Draco was definitely hiding something. Unfortunately, Harry's investigative instincts keep getting distracted by what Draco’s got going on under all those kaftans.
Featuring: food as a love language, the art of technicalities, ancient magic, Harry’s overactive imagination, and Draco’s spectacular commitment to making everything more complicated than it needs to be.

Summary
“What is the price you are willing to pay to be free?”
After a failed raid, Captain Ilya Rozanov refuses to return empty-handed. He settles for a far more promising treasure: Shane Hollander, crown prince and the Queen’s only son. Taken aboard as ransom, Shane is meant to be nothing more than leverage in the negotiation between crown and pirates.
However, the lines between Shane being a captive of the captain and something else entirely soon begin to blur. The closer the exchange comes, the harder it becomes for them to resist the pull between them. The noose around their necks gradually tightens, and soon they must navigate between love, the longing for freedom, and duty.

Summary
Draco defects from the Death Eaters during Sixth year and joins the good side. He's disowned by Lucius and decides to get a flat for the summer with the Black vault money - but alas, he has to get the vault key from Harry, who only agrees if Draco lets Harry use the flat too.
During the summer, Harry starts a muggle YouTube channel for fun and everyone ships him and Draco. Set in 2018, canon divergent from mid-way through Sixth year.

Summary
Seamus and Dean, digging into Malfoy’s three-tier chocolate cake. McGonagall snacking on Malfoy’s double chocolate chip cookies during Transfiguration the other day. Madam Pomfrey, gushing on and on about Malfoy’s madeira loaf cake. It’s all anyone wants to talk about anymore; in class, in the library, in the common room, in the halls.
Where are Harry’s ginger snaps? Harry’s double chocolate chip cookies and loaf cakes and muffins and pies? Harry’s bloody delicious macarons? Where are they? What is Malfoy playing at?

Summary
Shane Hollander is just trying to survive NYU biochemistry, hockey practice, and the graveyard shift at 7-Eleven. He's too exhausted to notice that his new regular customer is Russian mafia, or that Ilya's interest in him goes beyond terrible coffee and cookies.
When Ilya hands him a $10,000 designer scarf and matching gloves, Shane doesn't panic. He sells them for next month's rent. Any normal person would be terrified. Instead, Shane uses the leftover money to buy a Hello Kitty watch, pastel pink, childish, utterly incongruous with the danger circling him. He wears it to his next night shift without irony or apology.
Ilya notices immediately. He is fascinated.
(Currently under major editing. Can still be read.)
