--------Authorities have gone to great lengths to better understand the circumstances that led to the assassination of Cassandra Loaiza but are still unable to conclusively name any suspects despite having various persons of interest, each linked to a different motive. Cassie and Etienne are recurring characters in each other's lives, being constantly pulled away and brought back together by the trials of drug consumption, the consequences of poor parental figures, and the realization that they have discovered a serial killer is responsible for some of the most gruesome crimes in the city of Liverpool. Follow the two childhood friends as they fall in and out of love through various stages of their lives, always reminded by the grace of fate that this is not and has never been a love story, but a story about love in its most humane form--weak, vulnerable, breakable, unable to reign triumphant against every adversity. A story of poor timing, unfavourable circumstances, and the ruthlessness of a universe that favours no one.

Everyone thought James Potter was an open book, easy to read, easy to keep up with. No one really understood how a chap as charming as James Potter would end up falling in love with Alexis Riddle, a renowned name in her own right, for being Lord Voldemort's little sister that is. But of course, James had always been cursed with having the worst of luck in love, and the fact that his loved one had been conceived under the use of a love potion was a testament to that. / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / James Potter/OC Marauders Era All the characters, except for OCs, rightfully belong to J.K.
