    Summary

    When Elara Grey rescued a young Harry Potter from the Dursleys, she never intended to become a shadow in the Ministry’s blind spots or a quiet force moving against the currents of wizarding politics. Now, years later, Elara’s careful world begins to unravel as a dangerous escape from Azkaban triggers a chain of events that pull her past into the present.

    Harry faces his third year at Hogwarts unaware of the true stakes building around him. Secrets coil beneath the surface. Ancient magic stirs. The Ministry fractures. And something far older than the war begins to shift, watching those who wander too close to it.

    As old enemies resurface and hidden alliances tighten around her, Elara is forced to confront the parts of herself she has buried deep. Every choice she makes will protect the people she loves or destroy the fragile peace they have built together.

    Some shadows follow you. Others are forged by your own hands.

    This is the third installment of The Shadow War Chronicles.

    Summary

    There are moments in life that you work so hard for, things your younger self couldn't even imagine you doing... and when those moments arrive, what do you do with them? After joining the Victim Services Branch of the FBI in Quantico, it's been a dream to interact with the BAU and assist a case of theirs. Your lifestyle of late nights and overworking yourself keep you single despite this loneliness you refuse to acknowledge. But when you're constantly reminded of how quickly life can shatter around your feet, leaving you bare and bleeding as you try to put the pieces back together as neatly as you can... only for life to never be the same again, you start to feel it a little more.

    When the call finally comes, your work pulls you into a case the BAU is tackling, and while it caught you a little off guard, you walk away from the case with something more. Spencer has never shown vulnerability until you came around, then things changed. From innocent comments to passionate nights, your world shifts as your two souls collide into one.

    Summary

    May Oakley lives for the spotlight, but nothing prepares her for the Eye’s invitation — or for Jack Wilder, the street magician whose quiet charm disarms her more than any trick. As the Four Horsemen form and the Eye’s tests grow more dangerous, May and Jack’s connection deepens. In a world built on illusion, falling for someone might be the riskiest act of all.

    Summary

    “You’re all my favorites.”

    Will snorts violently, pressing his face into Steve’s shoulder to contain his wheezing laughter. El blinks at him, before breaking out in sudden giggles, eyes darting over to where Dustin and Lucas have reformed their friendship to chant “Fight! Fight! Fight!” over Max putting Mike in another headlock while he pulls at her hair. She glances back over to him, giggling even harder.

    “I know, crazy right?”

    “Very,” Will snickers, and El nods vigorously in agreement.

    ————

    Hawkins, Indiana, November 1984. The gate is closed, and there are no more interdimensional monsters to fight.

    Life moves on. Steve tries to along with it.

    Summary

    Running with werewolves is rough. Most of the pack heals bruises, shallow cuts, and abrasions in minutes but not human Stiles. But they don't seem to think when grabbing his arm, pulling his wrist, playful wrestling. Maybe a 5 times the pack (or a pack member) didn't know they were too rough on the human and one time they realized (or +1 gentle Derek)
