Summary
“We want to live a life where we mustn’t choose between our loyalty to ourselves and our loyalty to each other,” he amends.
“And the love.” Severus almost chokes at that. “Don’t forget the love.”
“Yes,” he whispers, “that too.”
Lily takes it up for him.
“It seems more and more that we will have to do that.” A pause, stray pieces of her hair brushing his shoulders. “We have already done that. It is unfair that it should be so.”
Or; in 1977, two ambicious teenagers decide the best way to get everything they want is to perform experimental soul magic. We'll go from there.

Summary
Imagine that. Imagine being the last member of the guild who prides itself on always offering succour to comrades. Knowing no one will come.
Natsu had crumbled the bricks of the wall his fist had come into contact with as soon as he had left her bedside to head here. Pity. That wall had managed to stay standing in mostly one piece.
He wouldn't force Lucy to run after him with a smile. Not this time.
Or; Natsu's thoughts before leaving Magnolia after Tartaros. Turns out you can try not to be selfish and oblivious and still fuck things up.

Summary
Audrey could walk around freely, she had lived a happy childhood, she had… she had so many things it sickened her, sometimes, but she couldn’t let go of any of it. After breaking up with Ben, she was a barely tolerated presence in the Council and the Court – her mother’s daughter, her boyfriend’s girl, all of her identity sourced from others – until they’d thought she might corral Ben. She couldn’t and, most importantly, she wouldn’t.
Who was she? A bad person. A mean student. An ugly heart wrapped in chiffon and tulle.
Or; Audrey goes on a heist to make things better. The Descendants 3 plot sort of happens. Audrey gets a much-needed hug.

Summary
As it is, the red helmet steals her attention and Stephanie's head goes into panic overdrive, a litany of fuckfuckfuck she hopes doesn’t show through. I thought I’d managed to avoid this shitstorm.
“Todd,” Damian grits out.
“Aw,” Red Hood answers, mockery all over his voice. It was the helmet, Stephanie realizes, that gave his voice that metallic hue. “You do remember me.”
Damian tenses up even further by her side, wound so tight she can tell despite the cape. And Stephanie hadn’t been there at the time, but she’d seen the reports.
Or; after the Battle for the Cowl, Jason Todd schedules a job interview for the only Wonder Boy he didn't try to sweet talk into the murder Robin position. For once, Steph would have preferred to be excluded.

Summary
Tom Riddle is dead. There is absolutely, positively, one-hundred-percent no way he's skulking around Grimmauld Place haunting their post-war life.
Of course, it's no use trying to tell him that.

Summary
Don and Kathy would move in together. They would have a dog or two and then inevitably, a small parade of adorable little brats who would call him Uncle Cosmo, and they would spend less and less time with him, not on purpose but busy with the rest of their lives, and ultimately Cosmo would learn to make his peace with it because he’d have no other choice and he would have to try to move on and not live too much in his memories. He could picture it so clearly, he figured if the songwriting gig with Monumental didn’t pan out, he could always return to the backwater circuit with a new act: The Amazing Cosmo of the Cosmos—ladies and gentlemen, he sees the future, he reads the stars, he silently pines for his best married pal and all the while tap dancing!
Don and Kathy inviting him along on their honeymoon, though—that part was a surprise.
