Summary
Horror strikes him down where he stands, then. He sways, stumbles to put his back to the living room wall. Harry is woozy in disbelief, watching the two words slashed into his chest in livid red just like the scar on his forehead. ‘AVADA KEDAVRA.’
He knows those words, the first he can remember, his earliest memory. It feels like he hasn’t breathed in minutes. When he comes back to the moment, he finds that perhaps he hasn’t. Harry gasps for air like a fish does for water, and doesn’t find it. His back has slid down the wall somehow and his hands grip his head, hair clenched in fists.
Then he realizes he’s actually panting, a ringing in his ears, blocking out whatever it is people are saying to him. Hermione crouches in front of him where he can’t possibly miss her, palms settling gently on his knees.
“Harry,” she’s saying. “Harry, it’s going to be alright.”
How?
How can it ever possibly be alright again?

Summary
Harry and Voldemort come to an early accord after the Triwizard Tournament that gradually leads to curiosity, something akin to friendship, and, eventually, mutual fascination.
Or: Voldemort kidnaps Harry. It’s a surprisingly chilled out time. Voldemort is strangely reasonable, and they make a pact. And then Voldemort earns Harry’s loyalty more and more each year, by finding him a family, by protecting him, by changing the wizarding world for the better.

Summary
All Voldemort has ever wanted is glory, and the world on its knees. But prophecy tells him of a boy who will be his equal.
Voldemort's obsession with killing Harry Potter grinds to a halt when he discovers what Harry is. Killing him isn’t an option. But sparing him reveals a weakness Voldemort never knew he had. What begins as a battle for power becomes a struggle with something far more dangerous: attachment. As Harry challenges everything Voldemort believes, the Dark Lord must decide what he truly fears more: death, or love.
This is Voldemort’s story. And some enemies can’t be conquered…only changed.

Summary
A little girl who has spent lifetimes in limbo appeals to the team for help. Arthur and Eames, having recently decided to go halves on a safe-house, find themselves anything but safe as they try to bring the girl and her mother to Cobb's dream institute on the other side of the country. They are not the only ones with an interest in the girl, who is proficient in more than just dream-sharing. She challenges the idea that reality is as simply defined as "being awake." This story also follows the characters in a "through the years" ending, therefore, heed the warnings! I wanted to deal with loss, and in some cases, moving on, in a realistic way.
