When Draco awoke next, it was late morning. The burning sensation wasn’t the first thing that he thought of, but it did pop into his mind quickly. Yawning as he pulled his night shirt over his head, Draco stumbled from bed, heading toward his room’s ensuite, and glanced at his arm to see what had happened.

“I saw him go through, Drake. I’m so sorry, brother.” Theo offered, sitting down in the damp grass at Draco’s shoulder. “I know we joked about it beforehand, but…” “I’m not so sure I was joking,” Draco whispered and looked at Sirius, who silently made his way over from where he’d been huddled with Harry and Hermione as they tried to calm Ron down.
Harry Potter knew in a very explicit way that he wasn’t alone and hadn’t been since the night his parents were murdered. The influence, for lack of a better word, shaped everyone and everything around him. It had followed him, silent and watching, no matter where he went. By the time Harry recognized it, he was so used to it–he couldn’t even be afraid of it.
Very few people knew that Shane Hollander was deaf. His parents, sometimes his coaches, very rarely his team. To everyone else, he was perceptive, quick on the mark. But can Shane really feel safe with a team where most of the players don’t even know he’s deaf, and can’t help him if something happens?
Buck makes some new friends.

The sports injury in Tony’s senior year didn’t just take away his primary career of athlete, it took away his secondary career of law enforcement, too. The injury was catastrophic and left him devastated, depressed, and with the right to take a handicapped parking space for the rest of his life. Before he can slide too far into the abyss, though, his frat brothers band together and force him to face life and find a new passion and purpose. And while his new endeavors shouldn’t see him involved in investigations, fate still sets him on an intersecting path with NCIS and Jethro Gibbs.
Tony has escorted Stiles home to Beacon Hills and is ready to settle down in the small California Town to start a new chapter in his life and get to know his newly found Son.

Wolves and Foxes and Tree Stumps, Oh My!
Deputy Derek Hale’s newest investigation wasn’t the most difficult he’d ever conducted, but it would be the most life changing. The investigation started in the preserve. Everything else started in a downtown bar where he ran into his boss’ son. Stiles Stilinski may have trained his full magical potential at a prestigious supernatural university, but he’d be damned if the resident wolf pack found out exactly how suited he was to the role of emissary. He’d met Talia Hale and he wanted nothing to do with her or her minions. Then he met Derek Hale.
Buck, having chosen his new deck, moves forward. Along the way he finds new friends, and rediscovers some he thought had been lost. And he learns to accept that some people aren’t meant to be in your life forever. As long as he has Eddie and Chris, he’ll survive. Anything else is a bonus.

When Ilya meets Shane Hollander for the first time, he doesn’t expect the other boy to offer his hand in friendship, along with his phone number. That somehow turns into him meeting Shane’s friends from Ottawa, who have nothing to do with hockey at all, and yet provide a safe space, a listening ear, and another way of seeing this beautiful boy with freckles. As Ilya finds out more of who Shane is beyond hockey, he begins to want more for himself off the ice, which might be the hardest thing of all.
