Summary
Sasuke shoves him with his one hand. “Get your fucking hands off of me.”
It’s enough. It knocks Naruto back a step, breaks the contact.
Naruto lets it happen this time. His hands come up immediately, open, palms out, like he’s trying to show he’s not going to touch him again.
“Okay, okay—”
And that’s when Sasuke sees it.
It catches the light when Naruto moves. Just a brief glint, easy to miss if he wasn’t already looking right at him.
The ring.
(Or, Naruto gets engaged and Sasuke wreaks havoc over it.)

Summary
It's the summer of 1998. The battle is over, and Voldemort is dead, but Harry still has more questions than answers. Who is he without a piece of Voldemort's soul in his head? What is he supposed to do now?
His friends try to help, but the only thing that can hold his attention—one of the only things that ever has—is Draco Malfoy, out on parole and weirdly hanging around the British Museum.
As they keep running into each other, Harry sees that Malfoy is different, and he wonders if he can be someone else, too.
Featuring rumpled band shirts, poker games everyone hates, fumbling sex, and a Harry going a little mental over how wands even work.
Fic title from "Bitter Sweet Symphony" by The Verve, which was released in 1998. Playlist to get in the late '90s mood.

Summary
Harlequin had never been more insulted than when Pierrot's little toy even insinuated that they were both together, but their insistence makes old memories and emotions rush to the surface and he feels like he's drowning.

Summary
A collection of short stories (and some headcanons) regarding The Freak Circus characters as I write them.
(This compilation contains tales such as 'Dead Leaves', 'The Root of All Evil', 'The Two Lines of Q', etc.)
-----
NOTE: FOR ALL CHAPTERS ---- an 'x' between names is meant to indicate romance/shipping, while an '&' between the names means you can interpret it however you want but it's basically platonic. For example, if i write: MC x Pierrot (this means it's romantic between those characters). But if i write: MC & Pierrot (it's platonic but could be seen as shipping if you want).- Language:

Summary
"Crimson roses...so fickle in meaning. Thrown to performers in praise, given to lovers in various displays of size and grandeur, or simply a thoughtless, last-minute apology. Even in mourning, their presence is more expected than profound. An easy, crowd-pleasing flower that can fit virtually every situation. On the surface, they may be desired in the traditional sense of love and romance, yes. Upon second glance, however, they've been reduced to mere formality. Its meaning has grown hollow, diluted by constant repetition and superficial gestures. Only a bold facade of love do they carry now, accepted when stripped of their thorns."
Harlequin understands his role as The Poison.
The question is...do you?
