One: Daphne/Blaise: 'Hollow shells, they cling to each other's every fiber. Barely living, barely breathing, except for one another.' Two: Ginny/Draco: 'She is as much unbearable as she is the blood in his veins. At some point her flames harnessed him, and he's been paying for it ever since.'

'Icy claws of panic crawl through her body and eventually grip her by the lungs. She gasps heavily and constantly, attempting to draw some air into her lungs. All she can think is that she just wants to hear his voice - his voice and his voice only, and she isn't going to be able to think straight or breathe properly until she does.' Voldemort has died, and Bellatrix is broken.

'But this is his life, he tells himself then and he tells himself again when he meets her properly for the first time. She is beautiful - he's always known that much, but her olive eyes are so empty. His heart twinges for the first time in years when she shakes his hand, out of guilt or fear or something else, he does not know.'

'He doesn't know whether it's the allure of her seemingly unattainable nature, or if there is actually something about her. He shrugs - there's never been something about anyone. Never feeling or wanting, just a Death Eater puppet drowning in a patchwork marriage.'

Everything fits together in its own weird and wonderful way - there's two sides to every story, there's sadness in the most unexpected of places. There's a fine line between love and hate and sometimes, that line will blur. We will love and not be loved in return. We will always want more from life. Things will change. SEVEN: HARRY/GINNY

Lily is fading into the background of life, and she likes it that way. She's cloaked by darkness now, and she doesn't miss her light. But everybody is leaving her, and she can't bear the thought of Teddy leaving too, but she hates how he sees straight through her. The question between both of them begs 'what is happening here'

'She sounds different – her voice isn't the endearing and warm as honey pleasure it used to be, it's cold and calculating and it's ice. He can hear the cut in her voice, with its artificially sugared edges as her low tones encourage people to come closer to hear her speak – to hang off her every word, to allow themselves to be bewildered and allured by her almost inaudible speech'

'And Scorpius Malfoy cannot handle love. He breaks his own heart, watching her as she watches him as he pushes and pushes, and eventually the ground between them starts to crack because he's pushed so far.'

'So it goes from the moments of utter darkness to the moments of the brightest pleasure, and he just can't bring himself to care that they're never going to be because right now they are. To him, they are everything yet he knows they are nothing at the exact same time.' Albus considers his relationship with Gellert, and the type of person he is with and without him.

'It's like she sews him together without even trying. Maybe it's selfish of him, to pull her into his hole of depression and alcohol induced haze, but she's just everything he's wanted but everything he's scared of.' Sirius wants to be drunk with Marlene forever.

So many things go on in one day - births, deaths, anniversaries, confessions, revelations, milestones. People cross paths, people fall in love, people fall out of love, people develop hate or lust, and someone's world can be ripped from underneath their feet in just one sentence. 100 chapters, 100 pairings. 15 - AstoriaCormac / Blinding

Everything is breaking apart for Scorpius, time seems to be rushing so fast that he can't be still. 'So it turns out that Scorpius isn't just claustrophobic – coming here is the one time that he doesn't have to be lonely. Because Lysander is lonely too, and they can be lonely together.'

'She's not a good person, no, but neither are you. You're not going to look yourself straight in the eye and pretend that this is or ever were a fairy-tale – it isn't and it never was. It's as cracked as the mirror in front of you.' Marcus and Millicent are breathing and existing, but not really living and they don't know how.

'It's so hard to resist. You love him. You hate yourself for it, but you do. Love is supposed to be wonderful, but it isn't – it never was and never will be, and fairytales do not exist.'

The minutes that everything spins out of control. The seconds that make you understand. The single moment that changes your life. That was Lily, it was always and forever Lily. - It's awful – she knows it's all awful, but there are just these moments that she lives for. And so she'll pretend because he's willing to pretend, just until there's nothing left pumping through his veins.

The story of Draco & Hermione's strange/loving/happy/sad/angsty/rocky and sometimes unusual relationship. Includes Ginny/Harry, Blaise/Daphne, Theodore/Luna, Ron, and how they fit into the couples lives... it isn't always easy.

'She's such a breath of fresh air, considering his controlling parents and their restrictive pureblood lifestyle, Astoria the perfect-turned-obsessive ex-girlfriend. All he wants is to feel like he can breathe again, and Ginny pushes the air back into his lungs.'

Daily advent notes from Blaise to Daphne on the lead up to Christmas.

'They kiss and they kiss and all that he feels is complete - this boy is everything. He is a mess and a masterpiece all in one human. As pathetic as he knows it is, his chest swells with the thought that he could take /this/ for the rest of his life.'

'His thoughts are chaotic, buzzing, fighting one another to be heard. Eyes flit over to the space of wall next to the bathroom door that bears a head-sized hole, and he slams his fist on the counter. No. The man starts to pace as he tries to bring his thoughts into line. He made a mistake. He needs Neville, and to admit this to himself almost makes his soul shake.'
