    Summary

    Sometimes, Harry thinks he’s destined to die young.

    The thought is terribly morbid and devastating for such a young child. He yearns for peace, for escape from the pain inflicted by the Dursleys. Their expectations are a heavy weight on his shoulders, leaving him with secrets that kill and eyes heavy with an ever present shadow of death.

    The wizarding world had cemented this idea. Hagrid revealing his ‘status’ had filled him with a bitter sense of resignation. It seemed that escaping the expectations of others was too much to ask for. Whether it be saving the wizarding world or slaving away for his relatives, there was no escape.

    He wants to be saved, that's all he wants.

    Harry closed his eyes, and allowed himself to drown in the overflow.

    This was originally written under Ejack23, but I decided to come back lol

    Summary

    One day Five was traipsing through the sixties, herding his blundering siblings towards a better timeline and life, and the next he was awoken in a strange prison, with strange people, strange surroundings, strange history, and most important; a distinct lack of his family. Learning he had been brought to Stark Tower by Norse God Thor, Five discovers more about this odd new reality he had been unceremoniously dropped upon, and may discover something he didn't even know he was missing.

    Or: The story of how Tony Stark adopted a snarky grandpa, who really didn’t want to be adopted.

    Summary

    Harry Potter is unraveling.

    He’s quieter now; more withdrawn, more tired. Between dreams haunted by Tom Riddle, growing isolation, and scars that never truly healed, Harry turns to the only thing that gives him control: art. But even sketching can’t keep the darkness at bay forever. The whispers never stop. The dreams grow darker. And his magic—wild, powerful, and unrefined—starts slipping through the cracks in ways even he can’t control.

    Once again, Harry finds himself placed under the reluctant care of Professor Severus Snape for more Occlumency lessons and supervision. Neither of them is prepared for what follows.

    Snape expects arrogance. Harry expects cruelty. What they find instead are pieces: of truth, of memory, of each other. As the boundaries between student and professor shift, long-buried trauma surfaces, secrets unravel, and the Horcrux inside Harry begins to take a toll neither of them expected.

    Summary

    As she silently tried to decide whether or not getting up to investigate was a good enough reason to get out of bed, she heard a telltale sound of rushing air, and then silence.

    She sighed. Okay, so it was Five that was awake. Awesome.

    There weren’t that many reasons why Five was awake at night anymore. Especially not awake and pacing around the hallway.

    Allison finds Five drinking at night
