Summary
The house was unusually still. Even the summer wind seemed to pause at the corners of the Burrow, leaving only the faint hum of the streetlights and the quiet creak of the wooden floors. Harry had been pacing, trying to shake the restlessness that always came at this time of year, part anticipation, part unease, and had paused near the kitchen table to catch his breath.
Then he noticed it.
A piece of parchment, folded neatly, sitting on the edge of the table as if it had been waiting for him. No owl. No flicker of magic. No sound to announce its arrival. The air smelled faintly of salt, brine, and something else he couldn’t name.
Harry’s hand hovered over it, uncertain. He had learned long ago that things appearing without explanation rarely meant anything simple. Still… there was something familiar in the weight of it, the way it seemed to pulse softly beneath his fingers.Series

Summary
Harry sat on the edge of the Burrow’s porch, quill in hand, the warm summer air drifting over the garden. He had been staring at the blank parchment for a long time, waiting for the words to come, and for the first time in weeks, he wasn’t thinking about curses, lessons, or Voldemort. He was thinking about someone else, a boy somewhere across the ocean who had somehow reached him.
He dipped the quill in ink, then paused. There were things he wanted to say. Things about the nights he couldn’t sleep, the weight that pressed down no matter what he did, the way the world always seemed to notice him first and ask questions later. But he didn’t say those things in many words. He didn’t need to. He only wrote enough for Percy to feel the truth.
To P,

Summary
It was late July, and Privet Drive was silent except for the faint hum of the streetlights and the occasional creak of the house settling. Harry sat on the edge of his bed, parchment spread across his lap, quill in hand. He had written and rewritten the words half a dozen times, unsure if anything could ever reach the other person.
Finally, he put down the quill and read it through one last time.
Young hero under a prophecy,
There are others out there who know you and understand you. I don’t believe you will ever read this, given that I am burning it after I have finished…

Summary
Percy Jackson has always felt odd. There was something that lurked in the back of his mind, that haunted his dreams. I guess that is what happens when you are a demigod who was completely unaware of his heritage until he was 12 years old.
Even after Camp Half-Blood, after the monsters and the prophecies and the wars everyone kept insisting were his problem, that feeling never really went away. It dulled sometimes, during capture the flag, or late nights at the campfire, but it was always there, like a tide pulling at him from somewhere far beyond the horizon.In July of 1996, it took on a new shape.
The letter simply appeared.

Summary
It had happened in the library at one of the sets of couches along the back wall. He’d been struggling with an essay for Arithmancy while Theo sat beside him on the couch, relaxed back against the armrest, and reading a book for Muggle Studies. In a moment of frustration, Harry leaned back and ended up somehow resting on Theo’s chest rather than the back of the couch.
Or: The time in Eighth Year when Harry realizes he might have feelings for Theo.

Summary
"He doesn’t really understand how he’s gone from being a genuinely happy person, thick as thieves with everybody on the team, to this. It’s almost as though somebody’s cut the rope tying him to the others and now he’s drifting away, sinking without everyone else’s buoyancy to keep him afloat. He can see them all still tied together, barely seeming to notice their drowning team member, clearly not missing his presence."
When Spencer is shot in the knee and Hotch's whole family comes under attack, the depression that's been slowly creeping up on him over the last couple of months takes over, shrouding him in a dark cloud he can't escape.
Hotch finally realises what's going on, but before he can say anything Spencer leaves the BAU. He throws himself into the life of the younger man, desperate to make him happy again, but will their budding new relationship actually blossom? And is Spencer's relationship with the team broken forever?
A Hotchreid-centric recovery fic centering on season five, heavily featuring Penelope Garcia. As it should.
