    Summary

    There is a world where a prophecy goes unheard. A world where a boy is never orphaned, where he grows up safe and loved, rather than in a cupboard under the stairs.

    But in that world, Harry Potter died in 1991—killed in what became known as the Hogwarts Express Massacre, along with every child who was supposed to attend Hogwarts that year. The war did not end, but it shifted, forcing both sides to set aside their differences against two common enemies: Gellert Grindelwald and Albus Dumbledore.

    Seven years later, during a memorial for the children lost that day, the dead return. But not as ghosts. They are flesh and blood. They are seven years older and ripped from a world that's only just beginning to recover from its own war.

    And the families who mourned them must now face the mirrors of the children they lost—and the strangers they’ve become.

    Summary

    AU of His Darkest Devotion. Harry has been hiding his soul-mark all his life, since he fully understood that his soulmate, Minister Tom Riddle, stands on the opposite side of a vast political divide from his parents and godfather. A fulfilled soulmate bond would double or quadruple Riddle’s magical power and ensure his immortality. But now his parents have been exiled as a result of their political activities against Minister Riddle, and the toll of the secret has worn on Harry so much that in his fifth year, he snaps and flees—straight to his soulmate.

    Summary

    "Part of him, the Cadmus part, says that it isn't logical for for them to be clawed and rotted and gone. He knows, logically he knows, that they were alright. But another part of him can't stop worrying, can't stop asking "what if?"'s, and thats the part of him that won't let him go back to bed, the part of him that gnaws at his stomach. That part of him wouldn't let him be.

    Maybe that was the Superman part of him."

    Superboy has nightmares about his family, sometimes.

    Summary

    Kara doesn’t have a problem with Conner, exactly, but they don’t have as much in common as everyone assumes. She’s lived two lifetimes on two different planets and he’s just a baby by comparison. He's borderline boisterous, happily roughhouses with his superhero friends like a kid is supposed to, where she somehow walked into the expectation that she acts like an adult. He treats his superpowers like a given, a birthright, when she sometimes, even years later, feels like she’s still adjusting to them.

    He doesn’t know anything about Krypton.

    Summary

    Conner had a pretty good life, all things considered. He wouldn't necessarily call it a great life, but it was good enough.
    Sure, living alone at Mount Justice with only a robot for company could get lonely sometimes, but he had his independence, his freedom from Lex, and his teammates on Young Justice.

    Unfortunately, no matter how content he was with his life, he could never quite shake the way he ached for Superman's approval. The way his insides twisted when his mistakes were met with harsh words and punishing hands. The way jealousy sunk its claws in deep every time he had to watch Superman and Jon interact. Still, he had a pretty good life, and that was all he needed.

    But when an accident ends with Conner being thrown through a wall and Superman learning that his clone isn't quite as tough as he seems, that pretty good life comes crashing down around his shoulders. Superman insists these changes are for the best, that he's trying to make amends and help, but Conner isn't so sure. Not that anybody ever seemed to care what he thought.

    At least Jon had a pretty cool video game collection. Maybe living with the Kents wouldn't be so bad.

    Summary

    "How long have you been going through this, Jonathan?"

    “A few months..” Jon began, trailing off.

    Mentally coaching himself to stay calm, Clark could only be grateful he hadn’t been doing this to himself for too long.

    “..after we moved, I guess.”

    Oh.

    Clark did the math in his head.

    Something inside him broke.

    The blonde shrugged - almost casually.

    As if Clark’s whole world hadn’t crumbled before him.

    “You- you’ve been doing this for two years?” He made eye contact with his son, his voice barely a whisper. Was he such a horrible father that he didn’t notice his own child was in so much pain that he felt like hurting himself?

    Summary

    [“Dad, why’d you go so fast? That was dangerous!” Jon yelped. Dad looked down at him in confusion, before zeroing in on Jon’s left hand, still gripped tightly on the ladder’s edge.

    “Did you stay to hold the ladder for me?” Dad asked. Jon could feel himself blush as he looked down at his toes.

    “I didn’t want you to fall."]

    Summary

    “This safehouse better be good, Supes,” Hal grumbles.

    “It’s never been found before,” Superman replies, sounding oddly nervous about that fact. “As long as we keep a low profile until we get there, we should be essentially off the grid.”

    Flash, putting in a respectable effort not to fidget using his powers, asks, “Are we allowed to know why you have a safehouse in the middle of bumfuck-nowhere, Kansas?”

    Summary

    “We are from Earth! Ergo, not knife proof.”

    “Then don’t get stabbed, dumbass.”

    Clark takes off his glasses, and like a switch has flipped, the commanding voice of Superman snaps, “Guys.

    The arguing ceases.

    “There’s a… small child on the roof above us.”

    It’s not like the world is spilling over with clones, is the thing; especially not genetically stable super-powered hybrid clones with–

    Wait, Tucker thinks, and lifts his head to stare blankly at the poster on his bedroom wall. Well, there’s a lot of posters on all of his bedroom walls, admittedly, but a specific poster on a specific wall.

    You’re a genetically stable super-powered hybrid clone,” Tucker says to his poster, still staring at the digitally-rendered face of a teen idol superhero. Superboy continues to grin cockily at him, because he’s a special edition poster and obviously isn’t gonna stop doing that.

    Tucker, very slowly, reaches for his phone and types something into Bing after all.

    Summary

    “…That gem.” Blue whispered, eyes wide.

    In another world Steven had shown it in defiance as he confessed and everyone would have just passed a glance at it before wanting to know how he’d killed a Diamond. In another world Blue was distracted by her grief, her desperation for answers clouding her vision.

    In this world Blue Diamond, who had sat in a room filled with bubbled Rose Quartz gems for thousands of years and stared at them until Yellow Diamond arrived to drag her away, noticed something she should have seen before. The gem was too light to be a Rose Quartz. The gem was too clear. It shined too brightly, the light catching it perfectly.

    But she remembered a gem similar, a gem that haunted her memories. She saw it when she cried. She knew that gem.

    “I know this gem.”

    Summary

    Steven's two guards were frozen with shock. Steven said, trying to think like Garnet, "Have you told anyone else about this? Who else knows?"

    The Agate said, eyes widening, "Only my Pearl, a Peridot, and myself, my Diamond. And the Pearl can be shattered."

    "That won't be necessary," Steven said quickly. "Just don't tell anyone else, okay? The Diamonds have, um. Extended their trip. So they'll be gone a while longer." He bit his lip. "We'll just have to make sure we find them." Soon. He hoped.

    "Understood. And until then... I, and all of Homeworld's Empire, am at your service. Pink Diamond, we await your commands."

    (Or: White Diamond hasn't been on Homeworld for millennia; Blue and Yellow Diamond just disappeared along with her. Naturally, command of the Empire falls to Pink Diamond.

    Or rather, it falls to Steven.)
