    Summary

    Living with the basilisk is going to take some adjusting, like learning to navigate hidden tunnels, keep himself secret, and figure out how to use magic (easier said than done). The castle and forest are full of dangers, and as Harry tries to fit into a world of elves, ghosts, and talking portraits, he'll find out if he's up to the challenge.

    Summary

    “And then he heard the voice for the first time, faint but piercing, not so much in his ears as in the bones of his head, almost singing.”

    What if Harry was not afraid of the Basilisk? Harry could be deeply disruptive without even trying - the Slytherins would never know what happened.

    Chamber of Secrets is so awesomely Freudian: A giant Snake? That lives in a Cave? Underground? Somebody had to write this. And I love Freud because he gets at the Wild Child inside every adult. I was never thinking of this as an actual child; this is me cutting loose ;)

    Summary

    “You were not born, Albedo. You are whole because I made you so. You are all duality made singular—you lack for nothing.”

    Albedo knows a lot of things: alchemy, mathematics, botany, court politics. He knows that everyone is born with a soulmate because he can see them bound together by a single red string between their fingers.

    He also knows that he alone does not have one--until the dethroned King Kaeya of Khaenri'ah makes a single wish from a balcony in Mondstadt and pulls a star from the sky.
