    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.

    Summary

    Trapped in the sky and his second-worst fear, Caleb had almost – almost – managed to content himself with watching the love of his life live hers as she saw fit, even if that meant tolerating her relationship with her mysterious new boyfriend. At least, that's what he'd convinced himself... until the day she strode onto that Fleet airstrip.

    Now that she's within reach once more, Caleb is determined to never let her go again.

    What he doesn't account for, however, is his own unexpected history with said boyfriend, and Sylus' firm belief that there are always more solutions than there are problems...

    Or: The three of them find out that love is not a finite resource, and Sylus gets a puppy to match his kitten.

    Summary

    Au jus (adj.) – To serve with its own juices from cooking, often referring to steak or other meat.

    Add one table spoon of a comatose Hemlock Potter, the zest of a struggling Will Graham unsure of his fluctuating identity, and a heavy sprinkling of a Hannibal Lecter being Hannibal Lecter, simmer over a low boiling heat of cannibalistic murder sprees, FBI investigations, and the outdated societal standards of Alphas and Omegas, and you have got yourself one hell of a descent into madness and extravagance that rivals the fall of Rome. Chef’s recommendation is to serve over a bed of morgue ice. Bon Appétit.

    OR: After Omega Hemlock Potter’s last run in with Tom Riddle left her battling for her life in intensive care in need of a blood transfusion from a close relative, Will Graham discovers he has a sister on the wrong side of the Atlantic ocean. This is possibly the best (worst) thing that has ever happened in the history of man.

    Summary

    It all started, in hindsight, with the release of the game called [Red Sands: In Search of the Scarlet Dawn], something of a ridiculous ‘otome’ game featuring the prominent shinobi of Konoha in an odd feudal systems of sorts. A game in which Haruno Sakura was cast as the villainess, her legacy made light of, and her appearance twisted until she was practically unrecognisable. It wasn’t a flattering game to her, and yet it was popular – popular enough for some diehard fan to go out of their way to kill the villainess standing between Sasuke and Hinata’s happiness.

    Yet that wasn’t the end of it, rather, death was the beginning of it: of the real Haruno Sakura waking up within that strange world of a game and refusing to follow the so-called ‘plot’ no matter how far along it is.

    (or; in which Haruno Sakura becomes a protagonist in the popularised ‘reincarnation as a villainess’ trope, and ponders on why in the seven dimensions did someone create a Madara Route – and how can she get off it, pretty please?)

    Summary

    When Harry Potter decided to travel back in time, he did not consider unbelievable consequences despite the many more unbelievable occurrences in his life. What had been a ritual to land him a few decades instead became several decades, in which he would find himself in 1926. What was worse was that he would have to continue in the new timeline as a woman. With a war somewhat fresh on his shoulders, Harry would have to restart as an entirely new person who would raise his nemesis instead of end him. In the end, he would have to alter his plans to give others a better future whilst achieving a peaceful new life.

    But as a woman in a new time, it seemed her new son's sire would become a complication in her life . . . or perhaps someone who would help her and her son settle.
