    Summary

    It's the beginning of second year and there's something off about Harry. His friends have noticed, his classmates have noticed, hell, even Severus Snape has noticed. Meanwhile, some new information has come to light that leads to Dumbledore asking something of his Potions Master, something Severus isn't quite sure he's qualified for. Nevertheless, Severus attempts to protect Harry from the threat of outside forces and maybe even face some demons that are a little closer to home.

    A Snape mentors/adopts Harry story. AU from the end of Philosopher's.

    Summary

    And then, barely above a whisper:

    “They muzzled me, okay?” Nick kept talking, as if the words had slipped free before he could reel them back in.

    “I was nine,” he said, staring at the floor. “I thought… I don’t know. I thought if I joined them maybe I’d belong somewhere.” His voice cracked. “They didn’t even let me finish the oath. Then they held me down... They laughed at me.”

    An absence settled in his eyes. "I didn't even get to finish the oath.”


    Nicholas Wilde has been an orphan for a little over seven months, and nothing has helped yet—not wandering the city, not getting into fights, not pretending he doesn’t care.

    After one bad night sends him running farther than he ever planned, Nick finds himself in a quiet rabbit town and in the care of a carrot-farming family whose quiet kindness unsettles him more than his loneliness ever did.

    Summary

    Zuko wasn’t scared of much, he wasn’t. And even if he was, he learned to deal with it a long time ago…
    So why did his hands shake so much around the Water Tribe chief?

    (Or: Zuko suffers from nerve damage from his father’s lightning, and Hakoda notices.)

    Summary

    He survived two-and-a-half years as General Fong’s training dummy, months as Zhao’s prisoner, and weeks as a captive aboard the Chief of the Southern Water Tribe’s ship, all the while refusing to let his father’s cold, firelit eyes be the last he saw of the man. There was no way these children would keep him from going home.

    "Yes," Zuko lied. 'I’ll help you defeat my father."

    Or: After three years of imprisonment, Zuko escapes, just in time to arrive at the climax of the Invasion of Ba Sing Se. From there, he travels with the Avatar's team - first as a political prisoner and then, maybe (and indignantly), as Aang's firebending teacher.

    (Zuko wonders why Agni let him suffer in the cold for so many years only to make him the Avatar's mentor. Destiny is a cruel, complicated thing. It takes him a while to figure out his.)

    Summary

    It is well-known to most people he meets that Lucifer Morningstar does not like children.

    They are grubby, ill-mannered, and generally irritating to be around, and the last thing he needs at any time is a pair of sticky paws besmirching his perfectly-pressed suit. Their hugs seemingly confuse him, and their adorable-ness is far too off-putting to be considered an advantage to their presence.

    As far as Chloe knows, Trixie is the first child Lucifer has come to appreciate.

    And, hopefully, she’ll never discover anything to suggest otherwise.
