    Summary

    Midoriya Hisashi cries tears of relief when a 5 year old Izuku looks him in the eyes and tells him:
    "I'm quirkless."
    Then, he forces his son to swear that he'll survive - to care for Inko, if nothing else - and it's a demand that Izuku is too young to understand and all too eager to accept.

    Midoriya Hisashi is 29 years old when he dies the next morning; killed by his own quirk.

    It takes 5 more years for Izuku to begin to regret making that promise, and only 3 more after that for a girl, older than him, and with much sharper canines, to ask him if it's worth it: to live a life of suffering in the name of an exhausted mother and a dead man.
    Apparently, he gives the wrong answer, as Himiko Toga laughs in his face, and tells him it absolutely isn't- and they exchange contacts.

    So, Izuku is 13 years old when he blackmails the staff of Aldera Middle, and Katsuki, for his own peace of mind, and decides:
    If he's going to be a hero, he might as well make himself untouchable, and make some connections early.

    (On a totally unrelated note: both Mr. and Mrs. Bakugou are delighted by his sudden interest in the fashion industry!)

    Summary

    "Maybe," Peter thought, "I can make a life here."
    Hence the tears and the guilt and the grief, because was Peter allowed to move on? Was he allowed to… to leave it all behind? Leave all the bad things in the past?
    Peter was "The Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man!" after all, and wasn’t he letting Queens - his people - down if he didn’t fight tooth and nail to get back to them?
    or

    Peter's tired. He's so tired, and he doesn't know what to do, but maybe things will get better.
    (They do.)

    Summary

    Harry Potter was never meant to be ordinary - but he was never meant to be this, either.

Harry Potter only knows that the shadows are his true family and that listening to them is what he wants to do.

    Summary

    Harry had always been strange, as the Dursleys delighted in telling him. His hair was too wild, his eyes too green, his ears too sharp. Until he looked in the Mirror of Erised, he'd never seen anyone who looked like him. And then he fell through it, and found a whole world of things he'd never seen, and people who would not accept that he didn't belong in it.

    OR

    An exploration of family, and belonging, and being not entirely one thing nor another.

    Summary

    Petunia may suffer the boy to live under her roof and come into her care, but she will not let him ruin everything she’s built. She is a normal woman with a normal family and a very normal life.

    It is, she defends as she clears out the cupboard under the stairs and puts together a little bedroom for the boy there, a good protection for the boy too.

    She doesn’t trust whatever magic has been put over him to actually protect them.

    What better protection is there for both the boy and for her family than for no one to know he’s even here. Not the neighbours, not the freaks trying to hunt down a baby, and not anyone else who might come looking for him either.

    Summary

    He really didn't know what had come over him. The council was just being so damn annoying lately, pushing him to marry every eligible noble lady in the vicinity. Like any normal person, Arthur finally snapped. It all went downhill when he blurted out that Merlin was his husband in the middle of a council meeting. He can't marry those ladies if he's already married to Merlin, right?? All he and Merlin have to do is keep up the lie.

    Summary

    she knew that one day she would need to uncover the precise cause of squibs and muggle-borns, to know their origin with absolute certainty, so that no muggle would ever be born, nor ever step into a world that was meant only for those with magic. She would see to it, with finality, that only those who carried magic in their veins would flourish in her world, and those without it would perish. She did not concern or burden herself with questions of harshness or fairness. The muggles had proven what they were—quick to fear, quicker to destroy what they could not understand—and she would answer in kind, without hesitation, without remorse, she would not offer what they never and will never grant: 𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘤𝘺

    Summary

    In the aftermath of the war, Harry is dying. An unknown curse courtesy of Voldemort has left him wasting away in a hospital bed. His only hope of recovery is a stem cell transfusion, but no one is a close enough match to save him…until he finds out that James Potter wasn’t his biological father. Now he has just one last chance for life and he is throwing all of his hopes onto one man he has never met.

    Halfway across the world, Tony Stark receives a specially delivered letter from a terribly sick teenage son he hadn’t known about. Moving before he even has time to digest the information, Tony ignores all the weird and strange things around his son, Harry. At least until he gets him ‘home’ to the Avengers Compound in New York, where they will need to learn to lean on one another and how to become a family.

    Summary

    After dying in the forbidden forest at Voldemort's hand--after going to the Kings Cross of his afterlife--Harry is returned to his 11-year-old self with no memories of his life before, just a vague sense of doom and weird knowledge of the wizarding world (and its inhabitants) that he can't quite explain. With only his ever-present sense of deja-vu to guide him into making better choices than last time, Harry embarks on a journey to save the wizarding world once again, and this time save himself as well.

    Summary

    Katniss would’ve never thought that she might make money out of her voice, the idea of anyone in Twelve paying for something as unnecessary as a song seems ridiculous but as it turns out, music is something everyone needs a little of.

    With her dad’s old guitar, a few dusty dresses that apparently belonged to some of his cousins and aunts and the songs seared into her memory, Katniss starts unknowingly stepping into the shoes of long forgotten performers and singers whilst also constantly running into her Boy with the Bread making cake deliveries and awakening something in her.

    Her discovery of her Covey heritage also gets her involved with the Revolution, becoming a voice for the people of all Districts… and the ghosts Snow thought long buried.

    —————

    Katniss accidentally becomes a Covey Girl (and we know Covey Girls love harder than anyone else) and the Mockingjay (songbird edition)

    Summary

    'Of course, some would say it's because he's a Victor, but that's not true. People in District 12 think that Haymitch Abernathy - our other living Victor - drinks too much, but they don't despise him like they do Gale.
    It is because Gale Hawthorne - my best friend, my hunting partner, the boy who strains to keep me alive - killed his district partner in the Game.'

    Or - Gale goes to the Arena, and Katniss and Peeta never does, but they end up together, anyway. Some things are different, yes, and some things maybe darker for it - but the important things, like Katniss and Peeta and Haymitch... they are the same.

    Summary

    Out in the Universe there is a bright blue box. Inside this box is a fantastical world. Inhabiting this fantastic world is a strange man called the Doctor, an immortal human from the 51st century, a pink and yellow human who isn't really human anymore and the savior of the wizarding world.

    But this isn't the start of our story, though when the Doctor gets involved in anything the start of a story is all rather fuzzy.

    No. Our story starts on a deserted street, in front of a ruined house, for every story must have a start. This beginning opens with a funny old wizard in bright-colored robes and a pointed hat, holding our protagonist and wondering what he was going to do with a baby. Now, on we go.

    On the 31st of July 1980, Crowley ended up with a baby because of a series of cock-ups by Satanic nuns. Approximately a year and half later, by divine providence complete coincidence, Aziraphale ended up with another.

    Excerpt:
    Aziraphale and Crowley had been dubbed An’el and Cawwey by Adam and Harry. Crowley definitely did not tear up when they boys beamed at him with an enthusiastic chorus of “Cawwey!” for the first time.

    Summary

    At the age of four, Harry decides anywhere else is better than life with the Dursleys. Running away in the quiet of night, slipping through loopholes in his magical protection, he finds himself the ward of a nomadic curse breaker. For five years, he sees and learns more than he ever could have dreamed of, gaining a true love of independence.

    But when Remus Lupin stumbles upon his best friends’ son in very much the wrong country, he drags Harry back to England, threatening his freedom and forcing them both to change their ideas of home and family.

    What if a saner Voldemort had spent more of Harry's first year observing her than trying to kill her? What if he knew exactly what to offer her the first time she challenged him?

    What if a female Harry Potter had learned to fear Vernon Dursley in a way canon Harry never had? What if Harry chose to protect herself when no one else would?

    Summary

    Latin; a dead language with no practical applications except perhaps the deciphering of old texts and as a particularly quaint party trick.

    Thankfully, as Harry finds out, Latin is not as dead as he was first taught when he decided to learn the language. It wouldn't have mattered anyway, of course; he loved Latin, and would have been proud to know it even had it been as useless as it was pretty. But in the world of Wizards, the world of Magic, Harry realizes his rare talent with words is particularly valuable, and allows him to use magic that no one's ever heard of, that no one's ever seen. But as time goes on, and he becomes more and more entangled in the webs spun by those around him, he starts to realize just how deep the magical rabbit hole goes and how dangerous power like his can be.

    All Harry had ever wanted was for the world to make sense.
