Summary
The war was over.
Or at least that’s what the papers said.
They’d been saying it, for months, as if people needed reminding.
Maybe they did.
***
In which Harry and Draco both run away from their pasts and conveniently choose to hide in the same tiny American town.
It's super.

Summary
“Abashed the Devil stood, and felt how awful goodness is, and saw virtue in her shape how lovely: saw, and pined his loss."
-John Milton, 'Paradise Lost'In September of 1942, Tom Riddle is a brilliant, bitter schoolboy on the precipice of becoming a monster. Already wearing his first Horcrux around his finger, he doesn’t plan to let anything halt his ascent towards realizing his ultimate goal: becoming the greatest Dark Lord the world has ever seen.
But when a powerful and mysterious transfer student arrives at Hogwarts, Tom’s initial spark of interest rapidly ignites into an all-consuming obsession, threatening to unravel his carefully laid plans.
When ambition and pride run up against regret and repentance, what will be the outcome? Is there such thing as a soul too mutilated to save?

Summary
When Harry Potter proposes to Ginny Weasley after an on and off relationship spanning five years, the last thing he expects is to be broken up with for the sake of Ginny's career ambitions. While most people would have a good cry and get on with life, Harry decides he's not ready to give up. If sophistication is what Ginny wants, then sophistication is what Harry will deliver. And who better to help him with some good old-fashioned self-improvement than his old classmate, ex-friend, and unrequited crush, Tom Riddle, or as he's known these days, Lord Slytherin.
"I know it’s an unusual request—” Harry started.
“I’ll do it,” Tom interrupted, resting his hand over Harry’s, their ring fingers overlapping. “I’ll make a husband out of you, Harry.”
“You will?” Harry asked, guarded hope fluttering in his chest.
“Of course,” Tom promised, flashing a charming smile.

Summary
Regulus has always known he's destined to drown. He feels it deep in his chest, past his rib cage, nestled somewhere behind his organs. He feels it in his arm when his mother squeezes it a little harder than a mother should. He felt it, the water rising in his throat, when his brother slipped out the window and into the night. He often wonders if it'd be easier to just let himself sink.
He often wonders if he has a choice.
Regulus gets sent back to school with a mission from the Dark Lord himself— find the “beast in the chamber” and claim its fangs without killing it. But when a certain curly-haired bespectacled boy asks for a rather large favor, everything suddenly gets a lot more complicated.

Summary
At eleven, Tom Riddle is dead set on flying and deathly afraid of heights.
At seventeen, he is a Hogwarts dropout and a Dark Lord rivaling Grindelwald.
At twenty, he is barely a wizard, robbed of his magic and wracked by Muggle illness. A simple case of consumption shall end him, unless Harry unravels Riddle's mysteries once and for all.
(Or: An AU where Tom and Harry grow up together, fight a war, twist a prophecy, break Quidditch, and fall very badly in love, though perhaps not in that order.)

Summary
There was another student here.
Tom recognized him vaguely—while transfer students were not necessarily uncommon due to the war, they were rare enough to at least make an impression. This particular transfer student was in his year, sorted into Ravenclaw after an impressively long hat stall. He looked like he might be descended from the Potter line, but he did not share the surname so his lineage was of no particular interest to Tom. Nothing about him was of particular interest to Tom, in fact, and yet here he stood, holding the book that Tom had come here to find.
It would be a good time to turn away. The Restricted Section was restricted for a reason—only books documenting extremely dangerous or extremely advanced magic were stored here.
Tom’s feet, however, suddenly felt as if they were made of lead. It wasn’t magic keeping him tied down, but something far more mysterious like curiosity or even fate. In any case, the delay was all it took for the Ravenclaw to lift his chin and meet Tom’s eyes.
This Ravenclaw, Tom realized, had eyes as blindingly green as the Killing Curse.

Summary
“Wait.” Peter looks up. “What?”
“We’re going to Avengers Compound,” Ned repeats dutifully.
Yeah.
That’s what Peter thought he said.
“Nope.” Peter drops his book onto the table. It shudders. “I’m not going. I’m not— I’m gonna call in sick. I’m gonna call in dead.”
In which Midtown’s Academic Decathlon team inadvertently ends Spider-Man’s whole career.
(Set between “hungry for a poke” and “to win this fight, side by side”)

Summary
In the cave, Regulus doesn’t beg for it to stop. He begs not be left behind, alone.
Perhaps this is why, when Kreacher gives one last look over his shoulder and sees terrible, pale hands reaching for his master, he appears in a flash at Regulus’ side, clutches him by the elbow, and Apparates them both out of the cave, directly disobeying his master’s last order.

Summary
"Shikla, baby, I can explain-" Wade started and then stopped. His surprise lasted only a few moments before his expression crumpled and he glowered at the finely dressed man blinking owlishly in the middle of the room.
Peter Parker looked as though someone had picked him up by the scruff of his neck and plopped him down again halfway across the country. His clothes were rumpled and there was a bagel hanging out of his mouth. He had a hand curled around his tie, midway from taking it off, like he had just started undressing. "Uh...what? The fuck?" he squawked eloquently.
(Line Break)
What if it was Peter Parker who showed up when the coven of witches tried to summon Wade's heartmate, instead of Spider-Man? In light of this new predicament, Wade has to overcome new feelings he has for both Spider-Man and Peter Parker. As he works to uncover the shady business lurking in Parker Industries, he has to ward of flirty attempts by Mr. Parker himself, and try to keep Spider-Man safe from his super evil, totally bad boss who is annoyingly attractive and probably out to take over the world.
Wade's got his work cut out for him, that's for sure.
