Summary
He thought of her arms. How they’d feel if he knelt beside her; if Narcissa pulled him in. If she held him with the kind of protectiveness he’d imagined from a woman he never knew.
*****
Prompt: Many years after the war, Harry marries Draco. But the closer he gets to his new mother-in-law, the more difficult it becomes to stop thinking about her. About her resilience, and her ruthless motherly love.- Language:

Bookmarker's Notes
I'm going to hell.
I'm going to be there for a long time.
I brought suncream and speedos; I hope the pool of lava is openXXXXX
XXXXThat aside this is a really thoughtful exploration of all the things Harry has wanted for his whole life, and the way that Narcissa can grant him that mothering he has longed for.
I cannot recommend this fic enough.
Harry loves his husband Draco, and Narcissa bestows a kind of soft and gentle nurturing to him in an unusual way. -

Summary
“Most would play the virgin a little straighter—lean into the innocence. Not you?”
“I’m a lot of things, Professor Karkaroff. Innocent isn’t one of them.” He would see the Mark on his arm before long, if this went ahead. There was little point in pretending otherwise.
“You won’t pretend?”
“Do you want me to?”
“…No. I’ll have you as you are, malenkaya voronushka.”
------------------
Prompt: Through his Death Eater connections, Severus learns of a way to get a leg up in his Potions career. All he has to do is convince Igor Karkaroff to make the introduction--meaning all Severus has to do, is make it worth his while.- Language:

Summary
“Teach me?” he stutters, pale eyes wide in stunned disbelief. “Y- You? Teach me?”
Minerva nods, a mental muffliato at the fatalistic voice in her head that’s taunting through a mile-long scroll of all the ways that this is madness. He’s a squib; fifty years and not a whisper of magic.
“But you’re-" latent legilimency means she hears him tripping over the words in his mind, famousbrilliantbeautiful-
“Headmistress,” he croaks, aloud.
“And you are a valued member of my staff, Argus.” In her most no nonsense voice; the one that silences the chattering Great Hall and makes the gargoyles on the staircases jump to attention. “We’ll start on Thursday evening. Seven o’clock.”
Minerva McGonagall and Argus Filch. Magic lessons, first wands. Healing, after the wizarding war, and falling, slowly and very gently, in love.

Summary
According to Nearly-Headless Nick, "The one boon - if there must be one - of this half-alive existence is that one gets to watch."
After several hundred years of disembodied floating, gosh he has seen a lot of things! And some of them are really quite ridiculous...
