Summary
This wasn’t a forest. This was a wasteland. Low hill slopes, and shallow valleys of black ashen rock and frayed thread stretched endlessly before Branch. The sun blared down relentlessly, bright and burning. Hot wind whipped and whirled with wild waves and gusts. It threatened to topple the grey trolling over, blowing with such strength that the lose flecks of the slope tops were pulled from their places and danced in a black blizzard over this burnt boiling tundra.
Branch let out a whine, his ears drooping further. Where was he?

Summary
In canon, Branch lives alone well into adulthood, surrounded by people who can't understand why he is the way he is and unwilling to try to understand until decades later.
In this universe, Branch is found by people who didn't understand, but learned to. And despite the fact those people are supposed to be far too different from him, he feels more like them than he has anyone else.
A 'Branch gets adopted by the Rock Trolls' fic because I fell into a Trolls rabbit hole and I have to be the entertainment I want to see.

Summary
The second time Voldemort strikes Harry Potter with the Killing Curse, it fails in a new way.
This time, instead of ending a life, it creates one.
—The eyes are Harry’s, obviously. The texture, the wildness of the jet-black hair, that’s Harry’s, too. A trait from Lily, a trait from James.
But the rest… The shape of the face, the curve of the brow… The more Harry looks at the boy’s sleeping face, the more he sees Tom Riddle in miniature.
A trait from Lily, a trait from James…
And the rest from their murderer.

Summary
“Do you think that maybe you have a preference for people with a certain criminal element?”
Will feels himself wilt internally. “I’m not sure how to feel about jumping to murder instead of the fact that the two of you could have been made through cellular mitosis.”
---
Hannibal has effectively replaced Will in every facet of his life by the time he is released from prison at the hands of the Chesapeake Ripper. The man takes his job, his friends, his one-time crush, and his pride.
In a spiteful random purchase made at a gas station, Will finds a way for two to play that game, and puts in motion a much wilder method of replacing Hannibal than he was really planning for.

Summary
In a world slightly to the left, Jack Crawford approaches criminal psychology expert and behavioral analyst consultant Will Graham about a field position catching the psychopaths nobody else can. Some, but not all, of these psychopaths are Ghouls: human-adjacent monsters that can pass off as human, but can only survive by eating them.
Will Graham and Hannibal Lecter both eat humans. The difference is, Will Graham is not a cannibal.
(Hannibal x Tokyo Ghoul AU. If you like Hannibal, urban fantasy, and police procedurals, this fic is for you. No prior knowledge of Tokyo Ghoul required at any point.)
