    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?

    -

    In a world where the first words you ever speak to your soulmate appear once both soulmates have turned seventeen, Harry receives a bit of bad news.

    OR

    In which Harry fashions himself into a war bride.

    Summary

    Then, the man said: “Sit down, Harry Potter.” with a sibilant voice that made all his hairs rise up - he felt like prey in front of a predator. Harry sat down, body moving on its own accord, gripping the red file under his robe like a lifeline. He had a job to do, a job to do, a job to do, a job—
    When the man smirked, his mouth had too many teeth.

    Voldemort gets sent to Azkaban after the First War. Harry Potter is the Auror sent there to profile him. Neither of them expects to fall for the other, but it happens anyway.

    Summary

    "When an Alpha is in adolescence, he is in search of a Presented Alpha, historically a parent or other protective figure, from which to learn. If the Presented Alpha accepts the responsibility of the adolescent, an instinctual Imprinting will occur, and a mentorship will begin, lasting until the adolescent Alpha's own Presentation."

    Harry reads the passage again and again before rubbing at his eyes, like blinding them will remove the text from his brain entirely. Across the table, he knows Hermione is watching him with pity, Ron with open disgust–not for Harry, never for Harry, but at the thought of anyone Imprinting on Voldemort. Fuck, Harry can't believe he Imprinted on Voldemort, his body apparently so desperate for a guide in navigating these strange Alphan waters that it latched onto the first one it could find, nevermind that this Alpha wants to kill him.

    Summary

    “So... you’re a transfer student?” Jayce ventures, trying to fill the silence.

    Viktor shakes his head. “Exchange student. From The Czech Republic. I was in a dorm, but the elevator is broken more than it works. Housing made arrangements.” He sets his suitcase down and adjusts his cane, his movements precise but clearly strained.

    “Right,” Jayce says, feeling a flicker of guilt for his earlier irritation. “Well, uh, welcome, I guess. Your room’s down the hall on the left.”

    Viktor doesn’t respond, already moving toward the hallway without waiting for further instructions. Jayce watches him disappear into the room, the door clicking shut behind him.

    He flops back onto the couch, grabbing his phone to text Caitlyn again:

    Jayce: He hates me already.

    Caitlyn: Don’t so be dramatic. Give it time. Maybe bake him cookies or something.

    Jayce: He doesn’t seem like a cookie guy. More like... brooding and vaguely annoyed at my existence.

    Caitlyn: Perfect. You’re great at brooding and vaguely annoying. 😘
