WeLiveInASociety
Fics that make me think interesting thoughts about society/generational trauma. If I can just analyze things well enough maybe I can think myself out of society and generational trauma. Just kidding. Kinda.
Anyways, fics that explore how war, religion, and societal norms inform interpersonal relationships, identity, and personal destiny. I am American so lots of thoughts about norms around violence, personhood, and individualism.

Summary
Huddled and broken, the surviving members of the Order of the Phoenix and Dumbledore’s Army plot their next move after their defeat at the Battle of Hogwarts. Outmanned, under-resourced and hurting, Remus Lupin, Hermione Granger and the remaining Weasley clan cling to one another as they reckon with tragic loss and the overwhelming task of defeating Lord Voldemort once and for all.
Toss in the inexplicable bond between Remus, Hermione and one Fred Weasley… and the walls of the safe house suddenly feel closer than ever…
~Mating bonds, soul magic and a heavy dose of espionage make for a story full of yearning and chaos right from the jump.

Summary
Damien vows is to find his own way and scrape and claw his way into a good position by his father's side.
He has not been offered any protection by anyone of high ranking or even his father so it is clear that he must earn his place on his own.
He scrapes and moves trying to adjust to the strange rules outside the league until one day everything changes and he is once again offered the privilege of protection, like he once had in the league.
Drake saves his life when they are out in civilian clothes and tries to protect him even when he is injured.
Damian does not understand how he came to earn this honor but he will not waste this chance.
Finally something makes sense.
He will swear loyalty and flourish as is expected of him in return for such protection.
AKA Damian is severely confused by the ways of his father and his family, Tim saves Damien from getting shot and Damian swears loyalty to him.
The entire bat family including Tim is very confused on what the heck just happened!?

Summary
When people are desperate they turn to faith. Panem has done a good job creating a truly secular society, stamping out the religions of the past, but nothing can stop new gods from rising.
-
Or: When Gaea curses Percy to live in a world without the gods, he winds up in District 4 and is chosen as tribute for the 70th Hunger Games. From there, everything just kind of spirals.

Summary
Bruce grunts, standing up. “Jenkins said the same. What about what you weren’t told?”
And without dissembling, Jason says, “I think they fucked that kid up, B.”
[Jack and Janet die. As things get weirder and weirder, it feels like Tim might be at the center of the unfolding conspiracy.]

Summary
After Harry's escape from the Dursleys the summer he turns thirteen, he has a powerful bout of accidental magic.
The good news: he's not expelled from Hogwarts. The bad news: that's because he looks totally different, and can't be sure anymore that he was ever Harry Potter in the first place.
Now he has a whole extended family he doesn't trust, birth parents he refuses to name in public, and more secrets than he ever wanted to carry. But at least he never has to go back to Privet Drive.
