Summary
You know the clichéd Bilbo-the-dragon-skin-changer stories? Let’s do something a bit different.
Dragons are less endangered than most people would prefer. Dwarves are twitchy about that sort of thing, but Gandalf isn’t going to let that stop him, because there’s one dragon that’s a hobbit where it counts, and it’s not in his appearance.
Bilbo Baggins is not particularly ancient, or the lone member of a once great race of skin changers. He wasn’t cursed, he’s not on probation. He hasn’t got a grudge to fulfil or a debt to repay. He's a dragon, and that's not the type of thing that's easy to hide.

Summary
This was why Hobbits did not leave the shelter of the Shire. The world outside was a Dark place where you would only starve and starve until you broke, until it would be all that remained, like in the Wandering Days, like in the Dark Days.

Summary
Fred Weasley was supposed to die.
The explosion still happens. The castle still breaks. The war doesn’t pause.
But someone interferes.
Daphne Greengrass built her life on being invisible. On surviving quietly. On never being seen.
Except she always was.
The twins noticed first. The quiet defiance. The way she moved through the war unseen, choosing what was right even when it cost her.
When Fred is struck down in the Battle of Hogwarts, Daphne doesn’t hesitate. She steps in. She saves him.
And in doing so, something ancient and unexpected locks into place.
A bond.
Not just with Fred—but with George, too.
A connection neither of them fully understands, but all of them can feel.
And in that single moment, Daphne loses everything.
Disowned and alone, she returns for an eighth year with nowhere left to go and no one left to protect but her sister—while the twins refuse to let her disappear back into the shadows she’s always hidden in.
Because some choices take years to arrive.
And some bind you to people you were never meant to survive without.

George Weasley, her one true love by houseofemerald

Summary
"Love doesn't matter." The bitter words were a sharp contrast to the sweetness of their touches, broken and hoarse, they soured the air around them.
"Love is all that matters." It was a wish wrapped in a statement. Something so true yet at the same time, not.
