Summary
“Mother... if I were... In the event that one found oneself... shall we say interested in interacting with someone who was not normally included in our social circles, would that... would one find oneself quite dismissed from the family, do you suppose?”
The first wizarding war didn't end. It just changed tactics.
Hidden in bureaucracy, buried in laws, and baked into bloodlines, wizarding society is still divided into those who belong, and those who don't. But Hermione Granger has never backed down from a challenge, and she's never wanted anything more than to belong.
Not every war is fought with battles and curses. Some are fought with hushed conversations, careful compromises, and a revolution that begins in a library.
[This story begins in third year and updates Sundays and Tuesdays.]

Bookmarker's Notes
Basically went on a reading bender and got through this whole thing in a little over two days. My god I need sleep. It's excellent, though also harrowingly realistic about the... frustrations of societal progress (and regress). I picked it up for the "Draco malfoy in the muggle world" tag, because I love characters being Put In Situations, and especially appreciated the expanded worldbuilding. Though now I'm worried that all future fics where Draco isn't besties with JFF will feel like they're missing something very integral to him

Summary
"Are you going for the course?" Lovegood asked. "You have the NEWTs.”
“What course?” Draco said, then, “No, don’t be ridiculous,” when he realized she meant the notice pinned up on the board he’d been staring at: Applicants To The Introductory Mediwizard Course For The Coming Term Shall Present Themselves In The Chief Mediwizard’s Office By August 24th.
“Oh, I thought you might,” she said. “Well, goodbye.” And off she wandered again in her addled way.

Hermione frowned. “The real question is why the magic of Britain would be failing now, in fact.”
“That is not the real question!” Ron said loudly; he’d woken up fully by now, and Harry had too; it was starting to sink in that they’d found the problem. “The real question is, how do we fix it?”

Dean took a bite of his pie; it wasn't half-bad. “You know everyone in Gotham?”
Jason smirked. “I know everyone in my alley.”
“Your alley?” Dean raised an eyebrow. “Thought this place was called Park Row.”
“So you are a tourist,” he said with a smug grin. “What are you doing in Gotham?”
Dean took a long drag of his coffee, putting the cup down with a smack of his lips. “Couldn't resist the welcoming atmosphere and general ambiance. This is a nice city you’ve got here.”
“No, it’s not.”
Dean snorted and finished the last of his pie. “No, it’s not.”

Summary
"That's what all malfunctioning miners do! Mess up the system in place!" the right said.
"Espeically this little screw up, Oreo Pox!" The left ranted.
"Orion Pax," the little bot behind him muttered, quietly correcting the shuttle, and causing Megatronus a spark attack.
Of course...Of course that paint job just couldn't have been a coincidence. Primus hated him, that was the only conclusion, and Megatronus couldn't even blame the god. Clearly this wasn't his cybertron, not even his cybertron's past, so of course there would be different versions of those he had befriended, and fought all those eons. His Orion Pax, was never a miner as these shuttles implied, but...if this was a second chance? Well, be it a punishment or blessing, Megatronus wasn't going to let these shuttles take this young version of his brother away again.
----
Or TFP Megatron is given a chance to change things, even if it meant going against fate...well he's never been one to accept a given destiny.Series

This is the face Jason sees when they meet. It’s not Rodimus’s real face. The man humming along to the radio and tapping on the steering wheel to the beat of the music isn’t real, and Jason’s still wondering what that means for the warm feeling that settles in his chest when he looks at Rodimus.

“Don’t act like you don’t care about him," Jay snapped.
“You don’t fucking know me.” Jason pushed away from where he’d been leaning, his stance suddenly much less casual. It didn’t hide the way his ears had gone red, though.
“You’re still me. I know when we’re full of shit, alright?”
“Fuck you.”
“Fuck you.”

“So what, I'm to be a pet in your daddy's funded new passion project?”
“Yes,” Tim stayed calm in the face of Jason's rising irritation, which only made his anger tick ever so slightly higher. “Is that what you wanted to hear? Does that make you feel better?”
It made him want to punch Tim Drake Wayne in the face, his unit of powerful lawyers be damned.
“It's swell.”

Jason's careeer gets a once in a lifetime opportunity when young billionaire Tim Drake Wayne offers him a spot as the driver for Wayne Enterprise's brand new racing team.
There's only one condition- he'll have to represent the brand, both on and off the track.

At sixteen, he disappeared. Sam and Tucker presumed him dead. His parents insisted he was taken by ghosts.
As young adults, they run into him in Gotham, of all places. It's a stroke of luck that brings their best friend back to them.
If only it was that easy for the Bats to find the god damn engineer that's been running circles around them while they try to track him down.

Summary
When on patrol one night, Red Robin ends up critically injured by a powerful, young ghost. Fortunately, a glowing boy is there to save him. Unfortunately, it involves stabilizing Tim with something that looks eerily like Lazarus Water. With a brief, yet vague explanation of ghosts, ectoplasm, and something called the GIW, the boy - self-proclaimed Phantom - vanishes.
Tim launches himself into research, discovering a plethora of new revelations into ghosts and the spirits that reside within and alongside their world. Some a little closer to home than others. As Tim and his family continue to search for answers, they'll discover government coverups, magic beyond even the knowledge of Justice League Dark, and a town that tows the border of life and death.
Meanwhile, Danny Fenton is having the time of his half-life at Gotham U, balancing engineering classes with his kingly duties in the Infinite Realms. But when Phantom ends up on the Bats' radar, his delicate balance might be upset entirely. But then again, Danny Fenton has never been one to retreat from trouble. And he certainly isn't about to start when it comes in the form of one very attractive Tim Drake-Wayne.

Summary
There is a big difference between a trans man exploring his identity/sexuality through fanfiction, and a cis writer misrepresenting what it means to be FTM. If you're a cis writer with the best of intentions, I hope these guidelines and resources will assist you in improving your treatment of trans men.
Chapter 1: Writing Guide, FTM Anatomy.
Chapter 2: Gallery of Trans Men.
Chapter 3: FTM Media Recommendations.
Chapter 4: Racism in Trans Headcanons.This guide was originally posted on my old account, which has since been deleted due to transphobic comments, including threats of violence. I have posted it again anyway, because I take this matter very seriously. Do not repost, copy, or in any way plagiarise this guide. But please feel free to share a link to it, so that cis authors can improve the way that they depict trans men. I have tagged characters which are discussed in the guide, and are therefore relevant. If you encounter this guide while browsing those tags, that's why.
