    Summary

    Expelled, exiled, and branded… Harry Potter is given a ‘fresh start’ in the States with his godfather. They move to Chicago and Harry meets his new neighbors, the Gallagher family.

    Summary

    "Crap!" the food truck worker shrieks in alarm. "Don't hurt him, Superman, he's just a kid!"

    Clark . . . pauses, then looks up from the kid that he is currently pinning into the street as said kid struggles underneath him.

    "'Hurt him'?" he asks in reflexive confusion, and then realizes how batting a teenager around like a person-shaped cat toy and pinning him to the street hard enough to crack it probably actually looks to an outside observer.

    . . . um.

    Whoops.

    "Um," he starts awkwardly, and then the kid slips his pin while he's distracted and throws his arms around his neck with a gleeful laugh and a bright grin.

    "Dad!" he crows triumphantly, and hugs Clark harder than literally anyone has ever hugged him before.

    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

    Death didn’t quite go as Harry expected it to. He died, and the piece of Voldemort’s soul was supposed to die with him. But no one was there to tell him not to touch the thing under the bench.
