Summary
“What makes him your best client?” Kip asks.
“He’s nice, his dog is well behaved, the apartment is insane, and he has a very set schedule. It’s not a daily gig, it’s kind of random. You have to stay at his place in the Upper West Side a few times a week, but again, the apartment is amazing. He’s some kind of athlete? So the schedule is also nuts. But he gives, like, six months of dates in advance.” Maria answers.
A set schedule of dates works for Kip, who is, these days, trying to make his own schedule.
“And,” Maria smiles wide, “I think you’ll like him.”
That beatific expression will come back to him, five days later, when he meets Scott Hunter for the first time.

Kip Grady is a PhD student who takes a side-gig walking Scott Hunter's dog. Along the way: the precarity of academia vs hockey; keeping something good at arm's length despite an innate desire for safety and love; gratuitous metaphors about both.

Summary
When the Potters moved next door, Cedric hadn’t realised his life was about to change forever.
He didn't think he was going to be friends with a boy who had the wildest hair he'd ever seen. Harry’s fierce green eyes reminded him of a Manticore from the Magical Creatures book he once read. The intensity in his stares scared Cedric at first, but after the whole spring passed, they became inseparable. This must be what it felt like to have a little brother who was eternally curious and incredibly stubborn.
(AU where there's no Voldemort, no Wormtail, no one calls Harry The Boy Who Lives. Harry's been raised by James and Lily.)

Summary
It's been 10 years since the war. Now Harry is trotted out for ministry functions and seems more like a ghost than a man. After being asked a sensitive question by a reporter, he abandons England to find himself. To try to be happy again.
When Viktor finds him, it isn’t an accident, and it isn’t easy. But some things are worth the work.
This is a story about staying. On earth. In love. In your own skin.
The good news: the full story is already written.
The bad news: updates will come as I edit. Thank you for your patience.
The joke: the whole time I was writing this I nicknamed it "Harry's Eat, Pray, Love Tour"Bookmarked by SoaringWithTheClouds
