Edevane by -anjo1006

Sirius Black ↯
Legitimately Legilimens by -yesisleepwalk
notes: oh my dear lord, this may be the best fan fiction I have ever read. If it wasn't copyrighted property, I would email a publisher and be like publish this. It's AMAZING. If you don't like EXTREMELY slow burns, this is not for you.

Valentine by -estrcllita
notes: Lily James, need I say more?
Bomb by -bywordsofmouth

notes: you know her, you love her — eve is just a powerhouse! i'm a sucker for the unrequited romance ( if it wasn't obvious ).
And finally ...
Harry Potter One Shots (Vol. 1) by -everlovingdeer
notes: This is the ultimate one shot book. Fuck it, it's the ultimate book. It's SO well written, it includes everyone, even the most obscure characters. You have plot. You have character development. You have fluff. You have conflict. This book has got it ALL and is what introduced me to jsp. Even if you think 'oh maybe not this one, i've never really thought of them romantically' read it. You won't regret it. I swear. This will also fill A LOT of time, it's 183 one shots that are long as hell (because they're good).
