    Summary

    Little Whinging, Surrey is a place where individuality goes to die. Row after row of identical houses line the streets with pristine, white picket fences and perfectly pruned hedges and house perfectly normal families. Those who live on Privet Drive are no exception to this.

    But there is one little boy who does not fit into that mould.

    Little Hari Potter, who has befriended snakes and knows their ways, hears his neighbors whispering of things he wanted them to notice and says, “Aunt Petunia, did you hear? Mrs. Number Six thinks we’re too poor to afford clothes for two children. I heard her talking about asking the neighbors for donations for us. Isn’t that nice of her? I know that I’m a huge burden on you all, so I’m glad that someone is stepping up to help out.”

    And that simply will not do. The Dursleys care more for their reputation than anything else, and so things slowly but surely begin to change as a result.

    The Hari Potter who arrives at Hogwarts could never sort anywhere but Slytherin.

    Summary

    This story depicts how Harry Potter's life goes from chores and slavery to politics and magic, and how one man's efforts to one-up his brother end up changing the future of the Wizarding World for good.

     

    ----
    Regulus Black didn’t plan to become a father. But when he discovers his brother’s godson locked in a cupboard, he does what Blacks do best: steal the boy and raise hell.

    After a decade in a coma, Regulus is far from sane—yet somehow, teaching Harry Potter (now Hyperion Black) the art of dark magic, political warfare, and revenge feels like the first right choice he’s ever made.

    Harry, meanwhile, isn’t complaining. So what if his new guardian cusses like a sailor and collects cursed artifacts? At least he wants Harry. And if their methods are… morally flexible? Well, the Wizarding World should’ve thought of that before abandoning him.

    A story of twisted redemption, Black family drama, and the birth of an heir who’ll burn the light and dark alike to the ground.
    Warning: Graphic depictions of Black family dysfunction (and Walburga’s portrait being a bitch)

    Summary

    Harry discovers that he has inherited a magical creature, which deeply shocks him, as he had no idea there was creature blood in his lineage. When he goes to Gringotts to learn more, he uncovers disturbing truths. He finds out that his friends, Ron and Hermione, haven’t been entirely honest with him; they used him for their own gain and were never the loyal friends he believed them to be.

    Even more troubling, he learns that Dumbledore manipulated his life and relationships for his own purposes, using Harry as a pawn in his plans against Voldemort. This revelation shakes Harry to his core, forcing him to question everything he thought he knew about his friends—and the man he once saw as a mentor.

    But then, his savior appears… as his soulmate.

    Summary

    What was the fun in collecting trauma like pokemon cards if you couldn’t play them?

    Peter trades in his gallery of trauma for the Bats’ rogue gallery as he adjusts to living in Gotham, losing his entire universe, and living with the ghosts of the Avengers. It’s not a fair trade—Peter is definitely being scammed for the damned shiny Jigglypuff—but at least he is getting out of this alive. Mostly.

    Summary

    In the far future, centuries after the Diamond Authority is dismantled, a group of people are assembled to form the crew of a ship that would serve as a symbol of unity between humanity and the gems.
    Sadly, an experimental weapon used by a group of Homeworld Rebels manages to hit a small group of said crew, sending them millennia into the past, a whooping 2000 years before Rose's rebellion.
    Now, out of sheer spite (and with a little bit of giddiness) they will use their knowledge of future tech and events to completely rewrite history. 'Cause you're outta your mind if you think they'll just sit there in suffering until Pink Diamond decides to throw the temper tantrum that gives her Earth. Or even until Pink Diamond is grown.

    NOTE: This is a semi-serious not-quite crackfic that I'm writing to just have something that I don't take as seriously and isn't even remotely as dark as the other one I'm writing. Expect a hell of a lot of references to everything pop-culture and short chapters of <2K words... sometimes. Updates whenever I feel like writing for it.
