    Summary

    “What day is it?” Derek demanded.

    “What?”

    “The day! What day is today?!” Derek let Stiles go, but only so he could reach into his pocket and pull out his phone. He tapped at the home screen, and then went so perfectly still that Stiles was pretty sure this guy wasn’t human. No human could stand that still.

    When it was clear Derek wasn’t going to move again without some prompting, Stiles said, “It’s Wednesday.”

    “That’s impossible,” Derek whispered.

    “Not really, it comes around every seven days.”

    “This is impossible,” Derek said again, looking around himself, as if he was searching for something.

    Summary

    Annabeth Chase has been perfectly content with being alone - aside from the constant companionship of her best friend. Alone is safer. She likes alone. For years she's gone out of her way to avoid even the suggestion of so much as going on a date, afraid of stirring the ghost in her past.

    Piper McLean has never been content with being alone - even with the constant companionship of her best friend. Alone is terrifying. She hates alone. For as long as she can remember she's chased after any fleeting thing just too fill the void, while simultaneously closing herself off from anything, anyone, real.

    On the eve of their final semester of college their worlds get turned upside down, leaving Annabeth and Piper with a choice: take a leap of faith or risk never having the courage to fall at all.

    At least they know they'll have each other when they come out the other side.

    oh my god they were roommates

    It had been a throwaway comment, really, when Annabeth had suggested that she and Percy get an apartment together for college.

    Summary

    On a dark night long ago, Sirius Black took a wrong turn and never found Peter Pettigrew. Instead of Azkaban, Sirius settled down in Little Whinging to keep an eye on his godson, and hired Remus Lupin to run his bookshop for him. Then one day when Harry was eight, Sirius found out how the Dursleys treated him, and stole him away.

    Stealing Harry is an alternate universe version of Harry Potter's life before his time at Hogwarts. It is the story of Harry's family: Sirius and Remus, Ted and Andromeda, Nymphadora, Neville Longbottom, and even Severus Snape, all banded together against a newly powerful Peter Pettigrew who is still searching for a way to resurrect Voldemort.

    Laocoon's Children follows Harry through his time at Hogwarts as he develops a very different group of friends: Hufflepuff Draco Malfoy, Ravenclaw Padma Patil, and Gryffindor Neville Longbottom, strange companions for a Harry who was sorted into Slytherin -- the house of his beloved Professor Snape.

    This universe ends in Harry's third year, and is partially incomplete. As it is not likely to be finished, the last story in the series is a group of notes I made on where the story would have gone and how it would have ended.

    Summary

    “What do you want me to do?” Remus says, tiredly. All he wants is to curl up on his bed. Smoke a pack of cigarettes. Get drunk. He can’t stop looking at Harry.

    “Remus...” Dumbledore is gentle. Remus hates when he has that tone. Hates that he knows it will hurt. “There is no one else left.”

    A bitter laugh escapes him. “So you’ll curse the poor thing with a werewolf for a guardian?”
