    Summary

    After the war, Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger begin to orbit one another in quieter ways—shared dinners, late conversations, and an unspoken agreement to stand guard when the world turns sharp—until, almost without noticing, they become best friends.

    When Draco’s bold challenge to Ministry corruption draws them into dangerous territory, the friendship they built on mutual respect and hard-won understanding begins to shift. What started as care becomes constancy; what they thought was enough slowly reveals itself as something deeper, steadier, and impossible to ignore.

    "For just a second longer than necessary, they stayed like that—her fingers curled around his, his thumb warm against her knuckles, grounding her more effectively than any spell ever could.
    “I’ll wait,” he said. “However long.”
    She squeezed his hand once, a silent thank you for everything he didn’t realise he was giving her.
    Then she squared her shoulders, let go, and turned back toward the chaos—steadier now, fortified by coffee, food, and the quiet certainty that Draco Malfoy would always come when she needed him."

    Summary

    “What do you think about the severe rash case? Think you want in on it or can I take it?”

    Frank turns to face her, which makes her look at him. His eyebrow is raised, an expression of focus on his face. “I think I want you to take a break.”

    Mel laughs, glances away before making eye contact again. “That’s a funny joke.”

    “No, I'm serious. Mel, go take fifteen,” he says with a firm tone.

    “But I don’t need a break.”

    Frank places a gentle, yet strong, hand on her shoulder. Mel glances down at it, a bit too stunned to speak; her brain trips over itself. Frank rarely touches her like this. It should be overstimulating — and if it were anyone else, it very well might’ve been — but instead the weight of his hand on her shoulder grounds her. Becomes an anchor.

    Summary

    “There is this club. Here in Boston. It is queer club, but secret. No phones, sign NDA beforehand. The cover charge is high, so is more– more exclusive.” He says this nonchalantly, gesturing to the air. He looks up and makes eye contact with Shane. “We could go.” Shrugs. “Together.”

    Shane stares at him, mouth open slightly. He waits for the punchline, like Rozanov is setting up some ridiculous joke. Rozanov just stares back at him, almost as if he isn’t breathing. It takes Shane a second to realize that he is being serious, and the earnestness of the invitation nearly brings him to his knees.

    Ilya Rozanov,” Shane grins. “Are you asking me out on a date?”

    Summary

    Time for the highlight of the night.

    As Boston’s General Manager, Barry had plenty of professional goals for his evening at the NHL awards. His singular personal goal, however, was to see Coach Theriault pop a fucking blood vessel.

    He and LeClaire had already succeeded in trapping Theriault in conversation when Barry heard a very familiar Russian accent from over by the bar.

    Well, a good manager knows how to delegate.

    Barry waved Rozanov over to join them. Yuna Hollander noticed and stuck close to the kid’s side, her sharp gaze assessing as she too moved to join the conversation. Even better. Even fucking better.

    Beside him, Theriault’s face had already turned a dangerous shade of red.
