    Summary

    What if Bucky was never real? What if he were just a mask that James wore?

    "No, James had other reasons for befriending Steve. Steve was easy to push around, easy to manipulate. James had learned that quickly. Stealing Steve’s medicine wasn’t something he was proud of, but it paid the rent when he needed it. And besides, Steve never noticed. He was too focused on the big picture, too busy dreaming of being a hero to notice the little things—like his pills going missing."

    Basically, what if James was a borderline sociopath with a Master/Slave kink a mile wide, and how that would affect the MCU as we know it, starting with the draft and following through the beginning of Iron Man (2008)

    Summary

    The thing about touch telepathy is this: technically, or at least as far as both Google and SHIELD databases are concerned, touch telepathy doesn’t exist anymore. Key word, anymore. It can’t, not when there hasn’t been a single record of a touch telepath existing in the last two-hundred-and-nineteen years.

    Not that Tony has been paying attention, or anything.

    Before there was a word for it, people called them “witches” or “psychics” or just plain, “monsters.” By the time the terminology was created to name them as they are, their existence had become taboo. Undesirable, criminal, dangerous.

    Historians call them as they are: touch telepaths. People call them legends. Tony just curses his own existence and calls it a day.

    - or -

    The story of how Tony, genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist, and also a touch telepathic monster, becomes the self-elected outcast of the Avengers, and then something more.

    Summary

    Harrison Potter was born July 31st, 1980. Voldemort killed him. His twin brother, Fleamont Potter, is the Boy-Who-Lived.

    Harry Evans grew up with his Aunt and Uncle, the Dursleys. They say that his parents abandoned him because of his freakishness. Harry grew up not knowing love, fighting to prove himself worthy, not knowing that he always was. When he gets his Hogwarts letter, everything clicks, and after one explosive conversation with Petunia, he knows.

    Well, he doesn't know everything. He doesn't know of a Godfather whose family magic names him one of their own, a star. He certainly doesn't know of his Godfather's not-husband's family magic claiming him too, gifting him the power of fire and blood. He feels it, though. Even without knowing all the facts, he's a survivor, and knows to listen to what his instincts tell him.

    Deep in his soul, three things are written. A magical saying, perhaps. More likely, the whispers of the stars. A dragon rider's song.

     

    FIRE. FURY. FLIGHT.

    The wizarding world thought they could trust Dumbledore; they were wrong.
    Harry is careful of whom he will trust; but one thing is for certain; Dumbledore will never be one he trusts.
    What will happen when truths are revealed, and the so-called light is more dark than anyone had imagined?
    What will happen when Harry has people who care about and protect him from Dumbledore’s manipulations?
