Love is fragile. Rarely, it's fleeting. Albus knew the feeling very well. He held his adoration for his best friend - Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy - in his hand like a small, glass structure. If he were to slip or fall, it would shatter like a firework. He held on carefully; protecting it like it were a small, injured bird. Albus' heart often felt like that - a small, unprotected entity. He'd been foolish to believe that love was safe. It bloomed in his chest; a stupid, frilly flower that hardly hesitated to kill him from the inside out. One single action could fix his issue - he needed to tell Scorpius how he felt. Honestly, when paralleled with those two haunting decisions, he preferred to let the flowers bloom.

This is just a collection of Scorbus short stories or one shots. I have many, many ideas for my boys but most don't make it into an actual story so I decided to dump them here. Hope you enjoy! This ranges from fluffy to smut, from Hogwarts days to random AU's. There will be a description at the beginning of each story :)

Each night, Albus hears Scorpius cry, yet has no idea how to help.

Scorpius has been in love with his best friend, Albus Severus Potter, for years. However, he's much too frightened to open his mouth and tell the boy how he feels. Albus Potter has denied his feelings for Scorpius Malfoy ever since he met him, as he's always been frightened Scorpius wouldn't return the attraction. However, you can't hide these things from your best friend forever, so - who'll crack first?

Dinner Parties - also known to be the bane of Albus Severus Potter's existence. He had always despised attention, wary looks from those he didn't know, and the overwhelming need to find a suitor and unite his own province with another. However, his brother's eighteenth birthday celebration finds him face to face with the first person to ever have understood the troubles of a royal lifestyle. Standing before him, the boy seemed the perfect companion; someone who could effortlessly make his boring life tolerable. Tolerable, or incredibly reckless and stupid behaviour, earns Albus nothing but a tug in his heart toward the one person he knows he can't have - Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy.

"i think the world is falling apart and no one can make it better but you..." albus is in love. draining, destructive, deadly. he's stuck in something greater than he is. people who have been forgotten are not always gone... who else lurks in the shadows of voldemort, a villain dead, though his followers work effortlessly to revive what he started. albus is in love. is scorpius?
