Summary
In a world where Voldemort's victory brought forth the golden age of pureblood supremacy, young Harry - an average Durmstrang student - grows surrounded by the same propaganda that has become the gospel truth of the Wizarding World. Injustice is a norm and racism is not only accepted, but actively encouraged. Embracing the status quo becomes harder when Harry finds himself in a train station where the living should not dwell, and a dangerous friend who goes by the name "Tom".

Summary
Keiji isn’t even certain that Osamu Miya recognizes him, though they’ve exchanged nods at his brick-and-mortar shop a handful of times before. They’re far from Tokyo, Keiji supposes, so there is no reason for Miya to expect Keiji in Sendai; but they’re even farther from Osaka, by hours and prefectures and hundreds of kilometers. There are certainly V.League matches being held this weekend that are far closer to Kansai than the Kamei Arena Sendai.
The Black Jackals and Adlers fans must be good business to warrant such a voyage, Keiji concludes, and leaves it at that.Akaashi and Osamu encounter each other again and again along the V.League circuit, and recognize that they are in parallel pursuits. (Neither of them particularly enjoys being seen.) (At least there are onigiri to use as distractions.)

Summary
When Harry fails to keep his anger at bay and Voldemort possesses his mind, the events that follow lead him down a long road to realizing the world isn't as black and white as it seems.
Chaos, hilarity, and tragedy ensue with a Dark Lord being honest all the time, a rival becoming something else, and a world demanding to be saved. Featuring frightened Death Eaters, deep conversations with a monster, Pureblood traditions being ridiculous, and the fight to do the right thing with no true options.
Harry's life just gets more and more bizarre with each passing moment.
~~~
Or, the one where Harry's life gets split in half, and he has to figure out how to bring it back together.

Summary
We have the testimony of Harry, but witnesses can be notoriously unreliable, especially when they have only part of the story. This is a biography of Severus Snape from his birth until his death. It is canon-compatible, and it is Snape's point of view.

Summary
Sakusa Kiyoomi wasn’t even supposed to be on the goddamn moon.
He was a personal bodyguard, one of the best in the business, but a single mistake got him shipped off to spend some time in penance as a correctional officer on a dumb lunar prison. A prison where his skills were wasted on fetching things for inmates, making sure they got to bed, and occasionally--god forbid--touching them.
Space was terrible, but perhaps the most terrible thing about it was a certain prisoner named Miya Atsumu. So of course Kiyoomi would end up stranded there, alone, with him.
