    Summary

    Harry's summer after his fourth year is spent having to relieve the events of the third task each night, weighed down by guilt and trauma. He has never had it easy, but with the wizarding world turning on him, he feels more alone than ever.
    After the dementor attack and being forced out of No4 privet drive, he spends his summer at Grimmauld far from happy. His friends and godfather do nothing to ease his turbulent mind.

    His fifth year at Hogwarts begins as he spirals into depression, turning to unhealthy coping mechanisms. It seems no one is able to save him from his worst enemy: his own mind.
    He has not only this to contend with, but a malicious Dolores Umbridge who is out to get him. Despite this, Harry refuses to seek the help he needs.

    Harry's descent is brought to the attention of Severus Snape, much to his distaste. As no one else intervenes, will the potions master be able to move past his grudge against the boy and help before it is too late?

    Summary

    Jason Todd grew up with a fundamental fear of being seen. Not in the sense of shyness, but in the sense of shame. He supposed, if he wished to contemplate the fear’s origins, he might start where most tragedies do:
    The house he grew up in.
    Where the act of wanting was as good as a death sentence to that desire.
    He supposed he might even make an argument for the statement “people become what they are called”. He thinks that might have some merit, looking back.
    What he fears most, (like most other people), is how obvious it is to others. The fear itself.
    He wonders if they can see it.

    or

    Thanks to a rogue meta, the batfam gets to watch Jason's memories like a movie; and Jason just really wants a family again. But you cannot be loved if you aren't known, and well... if circumstances provide? might as well take the chance, right?

    Summary

    If you asked Jason, He was never meant to last…
    Gotham hadn’t raised him to.
    It raised him to scrape, fight, steal, and run—To Survive.
    Just enough to get by—just enough to not become another whisper in a bustling city.
    Jason was never meant to live, but he sure as hell tried.

    Summary

    Jason brought his knees to his chest curling into a ball. Desperately trying to stay warm as the cold concrete of Arkham pressed in. His eyes burned as tears threatened to spill.
    What is the point? They weren't coming back for him, anyway.

    Warning ⚠️ over the next few weeks I will be going back and editing previous chapters.
