    Summary

    "It occurs to me that - ah - I may have forgotten to mention something, earlier," says Jon, somewhat belatedly.

    It also occurs to Jon that the traditional time to mention this particular detail would be before letting one's boyfriend shove his hand down one's pants for the first time, but, well. In his defense, he'd been so dreading the goddamn sex talk, and so relieved to finally have it out of the way, that discussing certain specifics of the act had somehow slipped his mind entirely.

    "You think?" says Martin, in that particular tone of fond incredulity that Jon finds so reassuring. The tone that means 'you've done something ridiculous and I've decided to find it charming.'

     

    fill for kink meme prompt: Martin discovers the effects of testosterone.

    Summary

    “No post on Sundays” Uncle Vernon announced happily, “No damn letters today-”
    Something came whizzing down the kitchen chimney as he spoke and caught him sharply on the back of the head. The next moment, thirty or forty letters came pelting out of the fireplace like bullets.
    “That does it!” he snapped, his beady little eyes focused solely on Harry, “It’s you that they want. And they won’t stop coming after us until you’re… gone”.
    Harry didn't like the sound of that.
    “But Vernon, we can’t! You heard what that- that despicable old man told us!”
    “Don’t worry, pet” Vernon said, his nasty grin triumphant, “I’ll leave him someplace so far away that those freaks will never trace him back to us. There’s an institute up north, for these- these hopeless cases and whatnot - St Brutus's Secure Centre for Boys. I’ll leave him there, and then we can get back to our nice, normal life”.

    Or, the one where Harry doesn't attend Hogwarts in first year but finds his way to the wizarding world anyway, and this changes everything.

    Summary

    “Fuck off, Hollander”, Barrett said harshly, that playful tone in his voice all gone. Then Barrett won the face-off and set off with the puck toward Montreal’s side of the ice.
    Shane set after him, irritation sizzling inside. His only thought was that it kind of sucked that from now on he would have to deal with two assholes playing on the same team. Not in the same way of course."

    ***

    "Troy kicked off his shoes furiously and yanked the toque off his head, throwing it on the floor. One of the shoes hit the wall, leaving a dirty slushy mark. He criss-crossed between boxes and suitcases, the rest of his outerwear ending up on the floor. He didn’t have a hanger yet, and if he was in charge, he wouldn’t need to buy one anyway because he would be the fuck out of Boston as soon as possible."

    Or; What if tuna melt never happens? What if Shane and Ilya's relationship is based on communication? What if Troy Barrett gets traded to Boston?

    A story about friendship, love and care and how to come to terms with all your flaws and mistakes. It's also a story about books and what they can teach us.

    Ch. 24

    Now I will you to be a bold swimmer,
    To jump off in the midst of the sea, rise again, nod to me, shout, and laughingly dash with your hair.

     

    What could Troy do to be a bold swimmer? How could he throw himself without fear into an ocean of the unknown? How could he dare do something with this painful clarity that he now somehow found himself in? When he felt how exhausting it had been for so long, and how lonely it had been, how it had disguised itself so often as discretion when it was nothing more than the fear of treading water. What if he allowed himself to float, to lie on his back in the water and let the warmth surround him, his face turned towards the sun? What if that was part of the solution, instead of paying attention to the depths of agony beneath him?

     

    There is that in me—I do not know what it is—but I know it is in me.

     

    That one made his throat tighten unexpectedly. Because yes. Yes, exactly. It was so uncertain and yet so clear. Troy had spent so much of his life trying to mold himself into something manageable, yet he still spent so much time analyzing, picking himself apart with the hope that if he examined every thought carefully enough he could arrive at some kind of tidier explanation for why he felt what he felt and why it so often seemed to hurt.
