    Summary

    I should warn Lewis, Charles thinks, first thing in the morning, as he stares himself down and brushes his teeth. As he scrambles eggs for breakfast. As he takes a shower. As he calls his mom and lets her scold him for scruffy his hair looks

    He doesn't.

    Ferrari is haunted, and Charles — Charles doesn't care about it half as much as he should.

    Summary

    “Let go,” He snarls, trying to pull Himself and His wand free from the absurd whatever-the-bloody-fuck kind of person this man is. “I command—”
    A pointy elbow lands in his face and He—he jerks his body back in sudden pain, spitting heavily accented muggle curses under his breath.
    “Get buggered sideways,” the man says loudly, prompting Lord Voldemort to return to the matter at hand, “by a pointy pincushion about to be transfigured into a porcupine, you racist son of a—”

    [BREAKING] LOCAL DARK LORD STILL HAS NOSE TO PUNCH
    GODRIC’S HOLLOW - English Dark Lord ‘Lord Voldemort’ (54) may be high on egocentrism, but he gets one sobering reality-check. After Harry Potter (32) went on a trip in his favourite rocket ship, he promptly ended up getting slung through the space-and-time-continuum; this curious happenstance ensured that his father, James Potter (21), got away from a murder attempt with no more than some mildly bruised ribs.

    Summary

    There is a picture in one of the books of a worn young man, heavily scarred with gentle eyes. Remus Lupin, he is identified as. The man who was watching Charles, and presumably Harry. The man who died defending them. Harry traces his fingertips over the man’s face and wonders.

    And then he stops, and reels all those thoughts into a tangled knot and tucks it away.

    They didn’t want him; that’s fine. He doesn’t want them either.

    Alternatively; Harry James Evans is Sorted Slytherin, desperate to stay hidden from the family that gave him up so many years ago. Severus Snape owes debts to a child presumed dead and the child's tormented godfather; and now he has a cunning, paranoid snake to charm all without tipping anyone else off to the boy's true identity.

    Summary

    "The Egocentric Temporal Order (ETO) bias is the finding that self-initiated action-events are perceived as having occurred prior to simultaneous externally triggered events."

    Or: Time is a polite fiction that only matters if you're paying attention, and Anakin is neither polite nor paying attention.

    Summary

    "He stumbles up, a tiny little thing in clothes a size too big that are obviously hand-me-downs from his two brothers, and when he stands beside Katniss I see that they’re the same height. Effie Trinket is trying but she can’t hide the look of devastation she holds, clearly upset that Peeta isn’t eighteen and handsome and able to get her out of this mess."

    When the mine accident does not occur, the Everdeens are forced into a different sacrifice. Written for Prompts in Panem, The Language of Flowers, Day 1.
