Summary
Uhtred knew they were coming seconds before they descended on them from the tree lines.
Cold dread seized his heart, a full-grown panic that made him dizzy. This was an impossible position to defend, he knew it. He grabbed for the handle of his weapon and, for a fraction of a heartbeat, looked at Alfred, who was looking back at him with wide eyes, pale and fragile, clearly unprepared. Uhtred drew his sword.
“TO YOUR WEAPONS!” he shouted from the depth of his chest. “DEFEND THE KING WITH YOUR LIVES!”

Summary
Lord Voldemort only cares about himself. And that includes his Horcruxes.
Or in other words:
Voldemort realizes Harry is his Horcrux and it changes everything.
Also:
Harry goes missing after touching the Cup in the Triwizard Tournament. Draco finds him three weeks later in Malfoy Manor.
This is a Dadmort fic with a side helping of Drarry (parent-child relationship for Voldemort and Harry, romantic relationship for Harry/Draco). Everyone is pretty soft in this fic. Harry is soft. Draco is soft. Even Voldemort is soft. Comparatively, anyway.
A cuddly fic with Stockholm Syndrome vibes.

Summary
"Hello, Chris," sings a honeyed voice from behind.
Chris' attention snaps toward the intruder, his gun already out of its' holster and aimed at whoever it is — a boy, apparently, with braided russet hair, a red jacket, and wise eyes. He's wearing a gas mask, but Chris can tell by the way his eyes crinkle around the edges, the way sun-burnt sand swirls in his irises, that he's smiling.
Chris cocks his gun.
"You killed my father," he says.
"No offence, but he totally deserved it," the stranger agrees with cheerful solemnity.
"What the hell are you doing in my home?" Chris demands. The kid is perched on a windowsill in Chris' office, as nonchalantly as if this were something he did every day, as if they were familiar.
"I was just wondering," the kid speaks softly, fond amusement sewn through with a peculiar resignation, "how you'd feel about putting down some nazis?"
[Or: The one where Stiles goes back in time and subsequently fucks with everything.]
