Summary
Being a Parselmouth came with the inherent predisposition to understand snake behaviours and imitate them. It was relieving Harry wasn’t going to kill anyone with venom, nor petrify them with his gaze. But also, somewhat frustrating as it was all completely useless. None of the skills that came with being a Parselmouth would help Harry survive Voldemort.
It might, in fact, have the opposite effect. For all Riddle's fury that Harry was the cause of his elder self’s defeat, he was fascinated by the fact Harry was also a Parselmouth. He had grabbed Harry’s face, turning him side to side looking bemusedly enraptured by Harry’s threat display. “At your age, I was imitating much more vicious snakes than this, Harry.”
That may have been all well and good, but Harry didn’t feel very vicious. He felt very threatened and in over his head.

Summary
Complete.
“I don’t make speeches. I just let my bat speak for me in the summertime.” ~Honus Wagner
This is a strange deviation from an idea from the glorious Niña.
The idea: “‘an AU where Stiles IS a shape-shifter. Only he doesn’t change into another creature, just into a mute, hyper-violent, bat-wielding Hyde character. And it only happens during the summer months. Like he said in that one episode, “It’s seasonal.”’
These chapters are a sort of connected string of scenes.

Summary
Stars are born to do two things: to sit in empty space and to die. Rain has one purpose: to cry. In the depth of the night, when the stars are hidden behind linen-looking clouds and the sky deems it a good night for a good cry, both entities find it humorous to call out to their favorite plaything. If only they knew, that in the end, stars always die, and rain always fades.
Or; Spencer can no longer bare the weight or guilt and thinks his only way out is to give into death with the slim chance of making it to the stars. The team has other ideas.

Summary
The shame of all of it burns hot like a sun in the hollow spongy space inside her lungs. She exhales it in light. The shirt's collar is too big on her neck, too long on her arms, and she barely tips over the counter enough to see it in the mirror. But there is a safety in it. Her second skin. She could swallow it all and pivot and try again.
Additionally:
Diana Reid has a delusion that she is a god, or alternately, a royal. If her daughter wants to name herself after the house of Spencer, it's not exactly out of the realm of her reality.Bookmarked by RedRua
