Summary
Ghosts can’t find you when you’re hiding from green light, betrayal, brainwashing, blood, death- death- death in the comfortable grasp of drugs, booze, work.
It doesn’t matter how fast you run, how hard you hide, PTSD will find you and knock you from your pedestal. Your best hope is that there will be someone to catch you when you land- perhaps a family you didn’t know you had.

Summary
No one, it turns out, really knows one another.
(OR: all it takes is a summer-long holiday in Italy, James Potter's teetering mental stability, a secret relationship, friends with benefits, Marlene’s secret, and enough stupidity and insecurity to go around for everything to come crashing down around them.)

Summary
Horror strikes him down where he stands, then. He sways, stumbles to put his back to the living room wall. Harry is woozy in disbelief, watching the two words slashed into his chest in livid red just like the scar on his forehead. ‘AVADA KEDAVRA.’
He knows those words, the first he can remember, his earliest memory. It feels like he hasn’t breathed in minutes. When he comes back to the moment, he finds that perhaps he hasn’t. Harry gasps for air like a fish does for water, and doesn’t find it. His back has slid down the wall somehow and his hands grip his head, hair clenched in fists.
Then he realizes he’s actually panting, a ringing in his ears, blocking out whatever it is people are saying to him. Hermione crouches in front of him where he can’t possibly miss her, palms settling gently on his knees.
“Harry,” she’s saying. “Harry, it’s going to be alright.”
How?
How can it ever possibly be alright again?

Summary
Revenge is the misguided attempt to transform shame and pain into pride. Being forsaken and neglected, ignored and forgotten, revenge seems a fairly competent obligation at this point.
Skylar is the boy who lived, that's why he's important. I'm not Skylar.
Going to Hogwarts is part of the plan, waking the basilisk is part of the plan, taking potions, learning spells, being tortured, murdering others, watching people di-I’m going to tell you a story, although it’s a bit long. I’m going to make you listen, because I want you to understand how you made me a monster. I’ll call this story antithesis, and you’re going to learn every single moment where things went wrong. I want you to cry, and beg for me to kill you, and when I’m done with this, you’re going to want to do that to yourself. You’re going to listen, because in the end, you owe me that much. You owe me so much more, but here we are, and this is how it’s going to end. Who knows, maybe this useless battle between you and me and this bloody world, well, maybe we always were fated to kill each other.
Do you know what it is like to be unmade?Series

Summary
When two boys appear out of thin air directly on top of a S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier, it understandably raises a lot of questions. Fury is - well, furious. Steve is confused. Tony wants to know why. And how. And what. Thor just wanted to eat his sandwich.
Draco feels like all this is Harry's fault somehow (because it usually is), and Harry is really, really hoping he's wrong.
He's not.

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
Harry Potter was no stranger to mistakes. He'd certainly been called one often enough. He'd made more than a few himself. It was only a matter of time before something blew up in his face.
Severus Snape was no stranger to secrets. He'd kept thousands of them over the years. He treated them like currency. It was only a matter of time before one of them caught up with him.
So, when Harry Potter's explosive mistake suddenly reveals a secret that Severus Snape has been keeping for seventeen years, they find themselves swept up in the unexpected consequences. With everything on the line, they will have to find a way to look beyond petty grudges and see each other for who they truly are, before it's too late.
Emotions run high and tempers run hot as Harry discovers that maybe what everyone has always said is actually true after all.
He really is just like his father.
Even if his father isn't who he was expecting.
