He could not believe it had come to this. February, 1990: late in a hard and hungry winter, Remus Lupin has come to the end of his options. Desperate in the hours before moonrise, he travels to Knockturn Alley to transact some dangerous business.

The odds were stacked against him: a child from a blended home with no friends, no social skills to speak of, and a terrible secret. Yet slowly Remus Lupin began to discover there was a place for him in the world, if he could find the courage to claim it.

For the Mazoku, whose lives were like slow burning candles, watching humans flash by like fireworks was both painful and beautiful. Lord von Voltaire gazes upon the bright future that their very Human king had strived for, and remembers. Deathfic.

Missing Moment from 'Against the Moon': in 'Rescue and Reminiscence' while Remus waits in the street, Sirius and James burst into the drawing room at number twelve Grimmauld Place to plead his case. Walburga Black is not impressed.

Yuuri finds that a court can control a king. Conrad denies the very courting that can give them both their happiness. Greatly ConYuu, CY. Rated M for later chapters.

This is a series of small one-shots and short fics that are ConYuu in nature and may or may not fall in chronological order. While there may be other pairings from time to time, the main focus of each will be, always, ConYuu!

His father wasn’t around long enough to teach him everything, but if there was one philosophy Conrart took from that great swordsman, it was to respect life, to respect love, and that both must be free.

Yuuri knew that today wasn’t going to be his day the moment he woke up and saw that it was raining. Blood Pledge Castle is baffled and Conrad is placed in an unusual position and Yuuri is even more oblivious than usual. ConYuu.
