Agatha Harkness has no time for distractions—she’s a top NYC lawyer, a single mother, and perfectly content keeping her life under control. Unfortunately, her friends disagree, dragging her through a series of increasingly disastrous blind dates. Enter you: a college student hired to babysit her son, Nicky. It’s supposed to be simple. Just a job. But somewhere between late nights, sharp banter, and blurred boundaries, you stop being just the babysitter—and Agatha starts looking at you like something far more dangerous. You can’t keep your eyes off her either.
Agatha All Along AU where Agatha Harkness is a terrifying senior partner at a New York law firm, single mother to six-year-old Nicky, and absolutely not looking for romance. Then Billy Kaplan’s annoyingly attractive friend Rio Vidal walks into her office carrying iced coffee and a dangerous amount of confidence. Rio works at the New York Botanical Garden, has a PhD in botanical sciences, flirts like it’s a competitive sport, and somehow manages to charm both Nicky and Agatha despite Agatha’s best efforts to resist her. What starts as accidental run-ins quickly turns into lingering conversations, increasingly intentional meetups, and enough unresolved tension to make everyone around them miserable. Agatha is genuinely simping HARD Unfortunately for Agatha, Rio thinks teasing her is fun. Unfortunately for Rio, Agatha flirting back is even worse. A modern Agathario slow burn full of flirting, mutual pining, single mom Agatha, found family chaos, botanical garden dates, emotional repression, and two women who are far too competent professionally to be this disastrous emotionally.
Y/N Black is not what Hermione Granger expects. Not cold, not cruel, not predictable. She’s careful. Guarded. Always thinking three steps ahead, but never showing her hand. A contradiction Hermione can’t quite solve. And maybe doesn’t want to. As the year unfolds and the events surrounding the Half-Blood Prince begin to unravel in the background, lines blur—between houses, between loyalties, between logic and something far less explainable. Because some people aren’t meant to make sense. And some connections aren’t meant to be easy.
