    Summary

    Five years ago, Sirius had to assume a new, life-altering role, shouldering all responsibilities of a godparent in one tragic go. He has no best friend, but he has a child--no, a teenager. An angry teenager who is suddenly acting out at school and won't talk to him. With the help of his late friend's parents, a severe headmistress, and an achingly patient (not to mention beautiful) professor, Sirius might just find the strength to heal, grow, and become the parent Harry deserves.

    Featuring the evaluation of family trauma, the rediscovery of lost loves, and the discovery of new ones. This one goes out to those who desperately yearned for Uncle Moony, for Harry to be raised in a safe environment, and for Uncle Padfoot to get with the program that Harry is /not/ James.

    Summary

    Sirius Black is tired of being forced to stay in the hovel his mother's portrait calls a home, of Molly Weasley getting on his nerves, of everyone trying to control him. So when Harry reminds him that he is an adult capable of making his own decisions and unwittingly offers him a way out...Well, what can he do but take it? Takes place in OOTP. Cross-posted at fanfiction.net. NOT bashing. NOT HP/HG.

    ...

    This is no longer an accurate depiction of my skills. I was two years younger when I started writing this version of the story, and that becomes apparent with each chapter, as the later ones are much better than the first one. Nevertheless, this is my first finished fanfic. I can look back on this and compare my writing then to my writing now and in the future. I am not deleting this again.

    I say this so whoever reads this might be aware—any complaints you have about the story or the writing, I agree. And in a moment of shameless self-promotion, may I interest you in my other works? They're much better.

    Summary

    The heat is overwhelming once back in the car, but Kevin bears it only for the shivering form in the backseat. He keeps an eye on him, glancing into the rearview as often as he can while maintaining safety as he drives, but Peralta never notices. Raymond's coat is almost comically large on him—the sleeves hanging over his palms and the shoulders too wide for the young man's smaller frame. It would be reminiscent of a little boy playing dress up in his dad's clothing if it weren't for the fact that Peralta is not only an adult, but one that they had found near frozen on a bench in the middle of the night. His head is down, wet hair dripping rivulets onto his face, and his arms are wrapped tightly around his body like a lonely hug.
    It's such a pitiful sight that Kevin feels something inside of him crack. Raymond's hand, still a little cold from being outside, slips into his and squeezes.
    “You know,” Peralta's voice cuts through the silence of the car, “my dad showed up again.”

    Or

    Jake's dad returns and causes an upheaval in his life that no one is sure he can come back from.

    Summary

    A curl of shame rises the longer Kaz Brekker, Dirtyhands, the Bastard of the barrel,  holds onto his wrist with a touch far too gentle. The swirled dark ink stands out on his wrist. Kaz thumbed over the ink in a soft sweeping motion. His voice is too soft when he asks the question,
    “Why didn’t you say anything?”
    "What is there to say?”

    --
    Jesper gets taken to a brothel before he can even begin his time at uni. He doesn't tell Kaz, and attempts to keep his lives separate.
