    Summary

    Pacify:
    1. To allay the anger or agitation of
    2. To reduce to a submissive state

    He would do his duty. He would save Draco, if he could. He would protect the students, if and when the school fell to the Deatheaters. And Potter. As far as he was concerned, Potter could have whatever he wanted, now. What was the point of trying to tell him no if he was going to be sacrificed on the pyre of the greater good? If Potter wanted to learn, Severus would be his teacher. If he wanted a master, then Severus would make him submit. And if he wanted a lover... well. Severus would love him. And that was it. Anything else was a waste of time. And there was so little of that.

    ***

    A complete reimagining of books six and seven (plus), running parallel to canon. And then a SHARP DIVERSION FROM CANON.

    ***

    From a reader: "Basically, Pacify is like, you know how in canon both Harry and Severus are pushed and pushed and pushed by external forces/emotional manipulation until they are backed into a corner? Pacify is...what if they were backed into the same corner?"

    Summary

    NOW WITH ART!

    Pacify
    1. To allay the anger or agitation of
    2. To reduce to a submissive state

    Shatter
    1. To break at once into pieces
    2. to damage badly : ruin

    “You think this will ease your suffering,” Severus said, squeezing Harry’s wrists still clasped in his hands. “But it won’t. It will destroy you.” I will destroy you.

    “I want you to,” Harry murmured, and Severus' resistance wasn't enough to keep him from being pulled closer, Potter’s breath feathering across his lips. And in some ways, the fact that his eyes were closed made it worse - made the words whispered against his mouth all the more obscene: “I want you to tear me apart.”

    ***

    Harry and Severus tumble into an intensely inappropriate physical relationship after events at Headquarters spiral out of control. Severus, digging his heels in, tries to stop, but he is just not strong enough.

    Summary

    “You can, you know.”
    "What?"
    "Hit me. If you want." Eddie grins. "It looks like you want."
    "No, I—"
    "What? Aren't you just the tiniest bit curious, Harrington?"

    In which Steve Harrington loses his virginity (again), goes back to school (kind of), and takes up his title (finally). Hail to the King, baby.

    What do all these things have in common?

    Why, Eddie Munson, of course.

    (A post-S4 fix-it at the intersections of queerness and BDSM, wherein baby dom Steve learns a few things about himself from experienced sub Eddie.)

    Summary

    Steve let himself lean the tiniest bit heavier into Eddie’s side, like a plant toward sunlight. His hand slid, slow and unsure, until his fingers found the edge of Eddie’s and curled there, not quite a full grip, but something.

    “Thanks,” he whispered, so quietly Eddie almost missed it.

    “For what?” Eddie murmured back.

    “For… letting me just be–me. I guess?” Steve huffed a small laugh. “That’s so lame. Forget I said that.”

    Eddie squeezed his hand, just once.

    “Anytime,” he said.

    Summary

    “Eddie,” Gareth says, solemnly.
    Eddie nods.
    “I’m telling you now, even though I know it’s pointless, because you never listen to anything I say. Ever.”
    Eddie nods again.
    “Please. I am begging you. Do not fuck our new roommate.”
    “Why the fuck would you say that?” Eddie hisses, cheeks aflame again. “What is wrong with your-”
    “That’s all I’m saying,” Gareth interrupts airily, hands up in mock surrender. “No further objections. You’re just a natural disaster, and I’d rather keep the apartment a conflict free zone, so.”

    ---

    Eddie and Gareth require two new roommates (must be okay with illegally housed cats, must be chill with late night band practices). Robin and Steve require a place to live, and have little to no other options.
    Months down the line, Eddie still finds himself tongue tied and avoidant around his very hot-probably-straight-weirdly-intense new cohabitation buddy, which is all very well and good- until they end up snowed in together during a powercut, and are forced to get a little cozy together <3
