    Summary

    The whole Umbridge thing makes her want to scream, just a wee bit. It’s seventh year, NEWTs are fast approaching, and she’s not kept a low profile for her entire Hogwarts tenure just to fail her exams horrifically.

     

    A semi/si-oc who wants nothing to do with the plot, like, ever.

    Summary

    “No post on Sundays” Uncle Vernon announced happily, “No damn letters today-”
    Something came whizzing down the kitchen chimney as he spoke and caught him sharply on the back of the head. The next moment, thirty or forty letters came pelting out of the fireplace like bullets.
    “That does it!” he snapped, his beady little eyes focused solely on Harry, “It’s you that they want. And they won’t stop coming after us until you’re… gone”.
    Harry didn't like the sound of that.
    “But Vernon, we can’t! You heard what that- that despicable old man told us!”
    “Don’t worry, pet” Vernon said, his nasty grin triumphant, “I’ll leave him someplace so far away that those freaks will never trace him back to us. There’s an institute up north, for these- these hopeless cases and whatnot - St Brutus's Secure Centre for Boys. I’ll leave him there, and then we can get back to our nice, normal life”.

    Or, the one where Harry doesn't attend Hogwarts in first year but finds his way to the wizarding world anyway, and this changes everything.

    Playing audio...

    Jason's laughter has turned into breathless, silent cries. Damian barrels on, seemingly unbothered by his state.

    "-And during all this I'm trying to subtly switch back to using people's actual names; except it fucking backfired because people just assumed I was calling Richard 'Richard' because we had that special parental mentor bond, and Tim had pissed off to- whatever he was doing in the desert for six months- getting a hysterectomy or whatever the fuck happened-"

    "Hysterectomy-" Jason repeats, shrill. "He lost a spleen, Dames."

    Summary

    Annabeth famously ran away from home when she was seven.

    The lesser known story is what prompted her leave: one of her brothers dying (and her dad lying), and the other faking his death (and her dad lying).

    For years, she swore she’d never go crawling back.

    It was only after the wars were over, and with Percy by her side, that Annabeth was ready to see her mortal family again—the old, the new, and the undead—even if returning to Wayne Manor didn’t mean going home anymore.

    OR

    Heroes don’t get happy endings. But damn if that will stop Annabeth from weaving her own. [Edit: 8/2/25]

    Summary

    Faced with too much writer's block for how restless I've been feeling, I had the bright idea of challenging myself to write a fic for Bernard as a resident of every cabin at Camp Half-Blood.

    All standalone, ordered by Cabin number.
