    Summary

    Hadrian Potter rarely went looking for trouble, but it always seemed to find him.

    After discovering the world of magic, facing down a mountain troll, and surviving an encounter with the Dark Lord – resulting in the death of his defense professor at Hadrian’s own hands – Hadrian Potter faces the seemingly insurmountable task of returning to normal life. He must continue to live as if all were well, even after Voldemort sends him a letter offering the chance to find out what the actual goals of Voldemort are and why the Dark Lord waged war on magical Britain decades ago.

    Can Hadrian put aside his resentment for the man who killed his parents long enough to learn the truth? What should he do when his friends start to notice that he starts acting strangely, asking questions that no one has the answers to? He's the heir to three Ancient and Noble Houses; he has more to do than just play games. Hadrian has an opportunity to find out why Voldemort targeted him and his family, but is he brave enough, clever enough, to find out without changing the fate of the world as he knows it?

    What would change if Harry Potter were a Slytherin and hated Dumbledore more than he hated the Dark Lord?

    Summary

    Just like the many amazing Slytherin Harry Potter fics, this is my take on what would happen if Harry Potter was just a little bit smarter, a little bit crueler, and acted a little bit more like the Slytherin we knew he could be.

    Takes inspiration from too many stories to count, but includes tropes like Slytherin Harry, awesome goblins, Dumbledore bashing, and Harry destroying any machinations laid out for him simply by existing and giving things a second thought. He refuses to be anybody's puppet.

    After Harry was introduced to the wizarding world, some red flags were raised and questions left unanswered, so he decided to ditch his babysitter and return to Diagon Alley unsupervised. Harry returned to the bank and found that Dumbledore had been manipulating everything from behind the scenes. Eager to leave the Dursleys behind, Hadrian - he learned his name was - will do whatever it takes to get out from under Dumbledore's thumb, even if it means walking a darker path than expected of the Wizarding world's Savior.

    Summary

    Halcyon Myles could see ghosts. She could talk to them, see their past, and help them move on. She could look into the memories of objects and, on occasion, turn invisible.
    Hal moved to Gotham a few months ago, transferring to Gotham Academy on a scholarship. She didn't know she had powers at all until she very nearly died. After an amnesiac ghost saved her life, however begrudgingly, she had to help him. What they have: his face, a few memories, and a flash symbol on his chest. What they don't have: literally everything else.
    One friend in danger leads to another, and things spin out of control. Hal fights against Gotham born serial killers, a meta-human run organization set on world domination, the Lazarus Pits and those that control them, a mind-control apocalypse, and the traumas of her own past. The broken pieces of her family lead her to a new one, her world expands, and soon she's come face to face with the question everyone has to answer.
    What are you willing to die for, and, more importantly, what are you willing to live for?

    May include but not limited to: eventual batfam fluff, teen titan shenanigans, unlikely vigilante justice, and hopeless gay best friends
