    Summary

    Kevin has always had the entire world’s eyes on him, but no one has ever looked at him quite like Jean. Kevin isn’t sure how he ever forgot or let that go. They’ve fallen in and out of each other's lives, but they’ve never fallen out of love.

    Alternatively: Kevin feels lost and stuck in his 20s, and the one person he used to know everything about has changed.

    Summary

    Sirius Black has a secret. Well, no, that's not true. Sirius Black has many secrets. His wand is dying, his parents more or less want to kill him, and there's the small matter of the cursed TOUJOURS PUR tattoo right above his heart, that he's had since he turned eight years old. Sirius Black is no stranger to secrets.

    Then, Remus Lupin walks into his life.

    Thus, begins a whole new history - one of darkness, of magic, of bravery, of family - as four boys set out to unwind the endings so many others have written for them.

    This is the story of the Marauders at Hogwarts and afterwards, and all the love that lies between.

    This is Year One.

    Summary

    But Henry is the one who had called, not Alex. Henry is the one who broke their stalemate and reached out, despite being the one who’d ran away in the first place. It’s foolish and asinine and criminally cruel, and Henry doesn’t know who he’s talking about anymore.

    Perhaps he and Alex are destined to do this forever; a maddening, all-consuming push and pull of two orbiting bodies that can only collide with devastating consequences. Henry has only ever found some semblance of religion in the caress of Alex’s touch, used to chase absolution down the dip of his spine and beg for salvation against the hollow of his throat. He’d never found what he’d been looking for.

    Or, ACD is the world's favorite rockstar; Henry is Alex's favorite "what if"

    Summary

    But Barty thinks, and we don’t need to go into the reasoning for why his mind is suddenly thinking such things as Evan lets go of his hand and sits next to him, that they would not be a star and the moon.

    The two idiots cooing at one another across the way have that covered—great.

    He’s pretty sure he heard Sirius comparing James to the sun the other weekend, pissed off vodka cranberries, and crying. So that’s taken as well. Barty is running out of metaphors as Evan sits and bumps his hip with his own, getting him to scoot further over in his chair.

    Both of them are sitting on one side of the table now. Evan takes a cherry between his teeth, bites it from the stem, and flicks the stem onto the table. It lands right next to Barty’s keys and wallet, just touching.

    He looks over and meets Barty’s eye.

    They're not the sun and moon or stars in the night sky; Barty and Evan are both black holes.
