    Summary

    Voldemort, unexpectedly short on money and growing tired of both Wormtail's existence and Nagini's incessant pleas to eat the wizard, has a most brilliant idea: crowdfunding, and the first reward tier is a livestreamed broadcast of Nagini getting her wish. It is a massive success - and the people demand more.

    Said 'people' just so happens to include one Boy-Who-Lived.

    Summary

    Mistaking Harry for a necromancer, Voldemort offers obsession in place of subjection and what begins as survival twists into intimacy.

    As history fractures, as love and ruin blur, there is no certainty in the prophecy—no destiny left to obey. Only a boy, a monster, and what they will become together.

    Summary

    She had been warned about people like him her whole life—someone who charged headfirst into chaos, solved problems with a blade, and laughed through the blood. So when she is forced to keep an eye on Dagur the Deranged, things get a bit tricky.

    What she’s not ready for is… enjoying his company.
    Or his smile. Or his insane laugh. Or his goddamn trebuchet-building hands.
    Or the way he looks at her.

    Now he’s everywhere: in her head, at her side, in her space, and she can't get rid of him.

    Summary

    Harry does not give up the Horcrux when he dies.

    Can goodness be a hero’s tragic flaw?

    Moved by compassion, he embraces it instead.

    Can forgiveness be a gift unconsciously granted?

    What follows next, he could not predict. He’s not sure he ever really had a choice in the matter.

    Can love exist, even flourish, in a heart that does not give its consent?

    The world Harry wakes up to is not like the one he remembers.

    This is a horror story.

    And his captor is neither the same as he was, nor as different as he would like.

    This is a love story.

    Summary

    Xie Wei comes to the capital with the intention to assassinate the Emperor, Shen Lang. However, once he comes to know his cousin, his attitudes undergo a shift.

    [I wanted to explore the idea that Xie Wei came to the capital with a very firm intention to kill Shen Lang, but how his attitude changes.

    Edited to add - okay, it’s become much much more - basically looking at a whole lot of scenes from XW’s rather skewed perspective. Also, now with raunchy scenes, so the rating has been updated.

    Now finally finished - given the original intention of the fiction, I wanted to finish it with a scene with Xie Wei and Shen Lang.]

    Summary

    When Jian Shu’s revered teacher tells him and Dao Qin that they must spy on a spoiled young noblewoman, they are at first confused. As the reasons for Xie Wei’s unusual interest in the noblewoman become more evident, Jian Shu becomes more and more worried about his master.

    [I didn’t actually mean to write this - I meant to finish off one of the other stories I’m writing. But… here we are. I did promise to write something about the perspective of Xie Wei’s sidekicks, back when I was looking at the eunuchs’ view of this drama. Now finished.]

    Summary

    Still drowning his sorrows years after cutting ties to the magical world, Harry Potter meets a handsome stranger at his regular bar who asks one too many prying questions about the past. Talks of vengeance and violence always hit a tad too close to home as the stranger invades every aspect of his life with shocking speed.

    -
    The stranger has arranged himself comfortably on the faux-leather sofa, hands draped across the backrest and one foot placed on the smudged glass coffee table in front of them as if he owns the place. The lights above highlight meticulously groomed black hair, a few slick strands falling effortlessly in place.

    Oh no. Harry is far more attracted than he should be to someone with a past as violent as his own.

    It takes a few more sips before Harry finds his tongue again. ‘’Sshhooo…’’ he slurs, then coughs. ‘’So what’s your plan then? Hangin’ out here till this guy arrives and stab ‘im?’’

    ‘’That was one option,’’ the stranger replies, playing around with an unlit cigarette. Harry follows the movement with rapture. ‘’But I’ve been told multiple times that there are things far worse than simply ending it. I suppose I’ll take him up on those words.’’

    Summary

    All it takes to change the course of history is for one person to reach out for another. From there, the butterfly effect takes place, rippling out through time and space.

    In this case, Nara Shikamaru offers his friendship to Uzumaki Naruto, a lonely boy with nothing. Desperate for something - anything, really - Naruto clings to him, and then, well, Shikamaru can't seem to let him go either.

    Summary

    Getting grabbed around the ankle at the last second by a screaming Uncle Vernon? Not great.

    Kicking Vernon in the face while Fred shouted, “Floor it!”, thus resulting in the Dursley patriarch falling out a window?

    Genuinely a top 10 moment in Harry’s life.

    ---
    After dying and being thrown back into his 11 year-old body with limited access to his memories from his past life, Harry's had to get by with only his ever-present sense of deja-vu to keep him from making the same choices (and mistakes) as he did before. But now that he's more connected than ever with his sixth-sense, the barriers that kept his past from him are breaking down. Dreams and visions are bombarding him more frequently, and just in time. The Chamber of Secrets has been opened, and as his deja-vu brain keeps saying, "It's not happening like it did last time."

    Summary

    “Yeah, sensei, do we pass?” Sasuke dangled the bells from the tip of his finger, a smug grin on his face. He was a bastard, Kakashi decided.

    Actually, all of them were. Little shit bastards. Feral goblins. Hellspawn. If it wasn’t Sakura literally changing the landscape of the field underneath Kakashi’s feet, it was Sasuke swinging a sword crackling with lightning, both of them subtly herding him towards Naruto’s hundred shadow-clones, all of which were so fast he could barely track them even with the sharingan.

    Kakashi was starting to think his team definitely didn’t have the same problems as the others.
