    Summary

    “What I find absolutely fascinating,” Riddle said, stalking closer, “is you.” He marched forward, backing Harry up until he was pinned to the cool wall of the common room. “Do you know why?”

    “No. And I’ll be honest here, Riddle, I don’t particularly care.”

    The taller boy grinned at him, small yet infinitely pleased. “That. Right there.” One hand rose and brushed some of Harry’s fringe from his face. “Nathan Ciro was a spineless little boy too afraid of his own shadow to dare even glance in my direction. But you…”

    He leaned closer, “You look at me like you want to stab me.”

    After an accident, Auror Harry Potter wakes up in the body of fourteen year old Nathan Ciro, a tormented Slytherin who recently tried to end his own life. Seeking answers to his strange predicament, Harry returns to Hogwarts, and causes quite the stir through staff and students - especially when they come to realise he is not the same boy as before.

    He tries to avoid suspicion, but as his quest for the truth draws more and more attention to him, Harry begins to think that he might not like what he will discover.

    Chapter 23

    Exceptional but needs buckets of updates before rereading.

    Summary

    The news that Timothy Drake, Gotham’s cryptid millionaire, has shot the Joker dead during a public live-stream hits the world like a freight train—and that is just the opening salvo of his bugfuck plan.

    Maybe there exists, in the multiverse, a configuration of Jason Todd who will weather this with decorum, dignity and self-respect. This version of Jason Todd decides that the life of an academic is not, really, all that rewarding. In contrast, the life of Timothy Drake’s live-in house-husband is looking more appealing by the second.

    Summary

    Harry wasn’t supposed to disappear. But he did.
    And he didn’t go alone.

    Now three runaways are rebuilding something old and powerful, tucked behind ancient wards and crumbling stone of a much too sentient manor.
    There is hope in the walls, truths in the shadows, and a war still waiting for them just beyond the gates. But here, in this half-ruined corner of the world, they are choosing something different. Peace, power, and each other.

    This is a story about found family, quiet healing, unexpected love, and what it means to stop surviving and start living. Even if the cost is everything they left behind.

    All Din wanted to do was find the Child a sorcerer teacher, pick up a job or two, and follow his Creed.

    Three out of three is good, right? Right?

    Summary

    "Crap!" the food truck worker shrieks in alarm. "Don't hurt him, Superman, he's just a kid!"

    Clark . . . pauses, then looks up from the kid that he is currently pinning into the street as said kid struggles underneath him.

    "'Hurt him'?" he asks in reflexive confusion, and then realizes how batting a teenager around like a person-shaped cat toy and pinning him to the street hard enough to crack it probably actually looks to an outside observer.

    . . . um.

    Whoops.

    "Um," he starts awkwardly, and then the kid slips his pin while he's distracted and throws his arms around his neck with a gleeful laugh and a bright grin.

    "Dad!" he crows triumphantly, and hugs Clark harder than literally anyone has ever hugged him before.
