Summary
Like a vessel at the launch/when its last restraint is gone - Goblin Market, Christina Rossetti
At 11 years old, everyone looked at Neville Longbottom and thought he was weak. Practically a squib. But Theodore Nott looked at him and saw power.
✨ You can’t convince me it’s not canon through year four. ✨
Edited 12/24/22 as part of a series instead of a lone work. Edited 5/8/24 for consistency, grammar, spelling, and flow; none of the story has changed.

Vessel at the Launch by sammialex. A dark romance (including the standard manipulation and unreliable narrators) for the rarepair of Neville and Theo. A highly recommended read. Well done.

Summary
The first thing Percival Graves does after being released back into the world is buy a new wand. The Aurors recovered his ebony wand from Grindelwald but Graves can’t even look at it, let alone pick it up. He goes to Greymalkin’s the minute he’s let out of the hospital and tries half a dozen wands. Some spark, a few smoke, but only one really works. The wand that chooses him is raw aspen, whiter than bone and so rough that Graves gives himself a splinter conjuring up a storm of brilliant red birds.
Greymalkin eyes the wand distrustfully. “Eleven and a half inches,” he says, sounding sour. “With a dragon heartstring core. One of Ollivander’s. Shoddy work, if you ask me.”
The wand hums against his fingertips. Graves buys it, tucks it up under his sleeve, and keeps it there, splinters and all, until he manages to fall into a fitful sleep later that night.
The second thing Graves does is quit his job, because honestly.
The third thing Graves does is get jumped by Credence Barebone in an alley.

the king of oak by saltpans is a wonderful fae lore based world build expansion fic for the gavebone ship. It is one of the best fanfics I've ever read and I've been reading them for nearly 20 years. Very well done. I do hope the author is inspired to write once again in the future.

Summary
The stranger who interrupts their duel in the graveyard is the spitting image of an older James Potter, sans the streaks of red in his hair. Except he has Harry’s scar. Their glasses are the same too.
What sets this man apart from the child before him and his parents, however, are his eyes. Voldemort does not see Lily Potter or the Killing Curse reflected back at him. He sees the sparkling golden sand from within a Time Turner instead.
The perfect trophy, Voldemort decides immediately, to commemorate his resurrection.
In which an older, much more experienced Harry Potter accidentally time travels back to his fourth year and decides he's going to give his younger self the father figure he deserved. Too bad Voldemort can't seem to leave him the fuck alone.

Summary
50 years ago, Tom Riddle’s soul was sealed into a diary, helplessly trapped within its pages. For decades, he sought to escape this prison of his own design.
So when a boy named Harry Potter begins writing to him, Tom seizes the opportunity to achieve his freedom. Harry is shockingly easy to possess, after all. Yet for some reason, Harry can retain consciousness while possessed, and worse, he can take control back. Being possessed by Tom doesn’t even seem to do anything to drain his vitality.
If Tom didn’t know better, he’d say that Harry’s soul was somehow used to sharing a body with Tom’s own. But that was impossible, wasn’t it?

Summary
Set on the day of Homelander's birthday in S3E2 ("The Only Man in the Sky"), Annie goes to bed dreading what his onstage meltdown might mean for the future of The Seven, Vought, and even herself as the new co-captain. But instead of waking up to the inevitable media circus the next day, she finds herself waking up on the same day all over again. Then again, and again, and again. Soon enough Annie realizes that all her clever maneuvers and attempts to escape, or break this time-loop are inconsequential.
And then, her one bold and reckless decision ends up dragging another person into the awareness of this cycle: Homelander.
