Summary
He saw the duffel.
It was battered all to hell and the strap was nearly torn from the bag, but it still glowed almost neon in the darkening night and streetlamp glare. Neil would never…
He dropped to his knees beside it and rifled through it, looking for any sign, any clue as to where Neil might have run. Nothing, nothing, nothing. Until his fingers found the keyring. Until he found the phone.Andrew's perspective on the Binghamton riot and the walking tragedy that is Neil Josten.

Summary
Grimmauld Place was once a small spark of magic buried deep in the earth. Then it was Black's Magic, Black's Hut, Black Cottage, Black Tower, and Black Townhouse before someone called it a "grim, old place" and the name stuck. Case in point: it had been around for centuries, and fueled by the devotion and power of generations of Blacks, it will not falter even in the face of a dead family and unsuitable heir — especially if there is a perfectly suitable master nearby.
Harry Potter survived the Killing Curse when he was a wee babe and everyone says that the fame will get to his head after a while, as if that justifies leaving him with horrible muggle relatives that work him like a house elf and treat him as poorly, if not poorer, than one. He thinks it's justified that he likes the musty yet familiar Grimmauld Place better than the sterile and stress-inducing Number Four Privet Drive. Now all he has to do is make sure he doesn't rot the curtains and keep a look out for the sentient house, lest he forget about the wards and they crumble like biscuits.
or: a Sentient Murder House™ and a Traumatized Necromantic Teenager™ bond over house maintenance and snubbing the Order.

Summary
There is only one thing that Harry James Potter knows he likes. It’s stupid, it’s pointless, and he doesn’t tell about it to anyone unless he is drunk.
What hooks Harry, what makes him read pages upon pages of words about a language he hasn’t even heard of before the essay is the absolute, earth-shattering conviction with which Riddle writes about the historic and cultural importance of Parseltongue.
Harry has never been so convinced of anything in his life.
----
In which Harry becomes an English teacher in the late '90s in a Polish city that not-so-accidentally is also home to his academic idol and role model, Tom Marvolo Riddle, the world’s foremost expert on Parseltongue culture and linguistics.
Tom would love to focus on his research, but he is haunted by Merope’s spirit, his community obligations, and Delphini Black. Hot English Teacher is only making things more complicated.
[WIP, currently writing the final chapter. Updates infrequently. Chapter 1 italics are formatted weird in EPUB downloads.]
