Summary
Tom is just trying to enjoy his well-deserved Head Boy appointment when his silly Mum barges into his room, forgetting all her manners and ruining an otherwise glorious moment. She's brandishing some sort of potion that Tom does not recognise because he's damn sure it's not anywhere in the Potions syllabus for sixth years and lower. It might be in the seventh year textbook but he hasn't had the chance to take a look at that, yet. So, really, he has no idea why she's being hysterical.
Then, she reveals that she's gone through his trunk.
Without permission.
The audacity.

Summary
Krypton is gone. Just--- It’s vanished! Kal and his trusty stow-away, Bruce Wayne, are on the case. In the meantime, they acquire a child, somehow, become broke, become mercenaries, and a plethora of other things. Dammit, this is not what Kal signed up for.
As Kal watched Bruce scale the ladder up to the shivering Kolro child, he mused that he really should have left the Terran behind on Earth to deal with his own problems. Honestly, in the time since Bruce had stowed away on Kal's ship and this current moment, he had done nothing but bring trouble to the Kryptonian. If he weren’t so smart or Kal wasn’t so convinced Bruce was the key to finding the missing Krypton, Kal would have seriously charted a course back to Earth and dropped him back to deal with his people's ire.

Summary
“Then, Wanyin thanks you,” said the Prince. Lan Xichen took the opportunity to inhale his scent. It smelled like lotuses, of course. But there was also an undercurrent of lightning and rain. Like a storm was brewing just beneath the omega’s skin. Lan Xichen might grow addicted.
“I seem to have seen your wound, My Prince,” said Lan Xichen, at length. “You are no longer a Jiang.”

Summary
Lan Xichen thought that the most exciting thing that would happen to him that night was that he’d have the spicy tuna instead of the regular kind. He was wrong.
But the tuna was good.
Also, the singer is hot. And that breakup was dramatic.

Summary
One essay gone horribly wrong. One misread phone number. One exasperated Slytherin who has to be perfect. One Gryffindor utterly captivated.
Or, Harry accidentally receives a scathing essay critique clearly meant for someone else (right?) and now he can’t stop texting Tom Riddle.

Summary
It seems laughable now to think that he could ever have been destined for more than this. From a boy so lucky to be alive they gave him a lofty title to match, to the supposed savior of humanity, to tawdry spoils of the very war he lost. It is a new kind of bravery Harry must hold onto these days, if he is to get through this with any of his sanity or self-respect left intact.
He won't just give up on living though, on hope. Somebody has to be here, after all, to take care of the girl, so if not for himself, then he'll at least do it for her. He can suffer any indignity thrown his way if it means that just one child born into this endless, bitter cycle of longing and loathing will grow up loved.
Sometimes, a ray of sunshine will break through the storm clouds even when it's always raining.

Summary
A decade on from the Battle of Hogwarts, after ten years of the wizarding world thinking it’s safe, a serial killer emerges, leaving a trail of dead women in his wake.
Each of the bodies bears a gruesome encoded message for the Aurors… A message which - once unscrambled - claims the Dark Lord has risen again.
In the face of the mystery, the Order of the Phoenix is hastily reformed. Ron is stoic. Hermione is scared. Ginny is getting very good at putting on a brave face. Death Eaters who were never caught are getting ready to crawl out of the woodwork. And the Ministry of Magic has plenty of secrets of its own for Kingsley to worry about…
All Harry wants is to distract himself from a marriage falling apart at the seams. All Lord Voldemort wants is to get out of the horrible place between life and death.
So much so that he’s willing to agree to help his old enemy solve the case.
Or so he claims.

Summary
Bellatrix's torture goes wrong and Harry is transformed into a snake, doused in experimental potions, and accidentally banished through time by a spell that latches onto the Horcrux in his scar. He lands in 1943, broken and helpless, directly in the path of a lonely sixteen-year-old Tom Riddle.
Tom finds an unusual snake in the Forbidden Forest and can't resist taking it in. Harry, too traumatized to fight back and too terrified to reveal the truth, has no choice but to accept care from the boy who will become Voldemort.
As they bond, Harry realizes he sees more of himself in Tom than he'd like to admit.

Summary
As he slowly carried the fork to his mouth, the view in front of him momentarily went in and out of focus before suddenly distorting. The light became warmer, the sleeves of his uniform darker, newer. The person sitting opposite to him changed from Nott to a girl in a Gryffindor uniform with dark frizzy hair, their eyes meeting. Harry blinked, and the vision was gone, the hall back to normal. He swallowed. Lately, this had been happening a lot more often than before. Day time visions and vivid dreams, all featuring the same characters. He’d say it was his memories coming back, but…
There was no way those could be his memories.
Because in them, he was someone else.Harry's sixth year at Hogwarts is up to a bad start. The vivid visions and nightmares that have been plaguing him since the incident in his second year (the same incident that took away his memories) are getting worse, and Riddle is acting weird enough that there must be a devious plan in the making.
