Summary
As far as Jon was concerned, his relationship with gender was no one's business but his own, and he wasn't interested in outwardly presenting in a way that would raise questions or lead to awkward conversations. That said...it was nice to have something for himself.

Summary
Harry Potter spent his eleventh birthday in a cabin on a tiny rock in the middle of the sea, listening to his cousin snore on the couch.
When a knock sounded on the wind-swept, rain-drenched door, it was not a giant fist (or a half-giant's fist). It was a short sharp rap that sounded once, twice, three times before Minerva McGonagall simply charmed the lock open and stepped inside.
"Apologies," Minerva said crisply, as Vernon raced out brandishing his rifle and Petunia pulled Dudley up off the couch and behind her. "I wasn't sure you could hear me over the weather.” The rain fell down behind the professor in a roar. She was perfectly dry.
Minerva fished in her pocket without looking, because the only things allowed in her pockets were only ever exactly what she needed. “I've come to deliver this," she said, pulling out a letter and handing it to Harry, who was cross-legged on the floor, "because our owl post seems to have been unable to get through.”
“And I've come to deliver this," she added, pulling out a second letter, "because Hogwarts by-laws require a professor to hand-deliver acceptance letters to Muggleborn families for their explanation and comfort."

The new reality had no wizards or magical nations – but it had a whole boatload of powerful and occasionally inept sorcerers. Who were usually semi-public and sometimes very popular in social media. How it worked, Harry had no idea.

Summary
During his time at home, Gavin laid awake sprawled out on his couch, drowning in rum and Coke, his cat on his chest, watching the hours tick by. His hope was to narrowly avoid sleep and those recurring dreams of the office bathroom, the evidence locker, the roof, his apartment, various taxis. It was getting ridiculous.
Or: Gavin really doesn't know how to handle himself or Connor or anything for that matter and winds up slowly unraveling his life.

Summary
There’s no reason given for it, and Corvo doesn’t honestly expect one. He doesn’t ponder much on the why of things anymore, or tries not to. Corvo sleeps better when he doesn’t go rooting around in the dark for threads to pull on.
That doesn’t stop him asking.
Doesn’t stop his other self from sneering, either.
“It’s almost precious,” the walking mirror, the him-that-isn’t-him drawls, familiar mouth hammered into an unfamiliar shape. He’s not much thinner, but there’s a starved look to him that leaves Corvo wanting to put a few more steps between them than there are. “You still think there’s a reason for any of it. That the reason matters.” The mouth curls sharper, flash of teeth, too bright. Like a rat’s. “Well it doesn’t.”

Summary
But the Outsider merely smiles his unreadable smile, and reaches into his pocket. Corvo tenses. Pale hands withdraw, and with it, a shiny coin, which the Outsider places into the small plastic bucket that Emily had faithfully decorated with green paper seaweed and glitter-glue, before placing ceremoniously on the café counter next to a flyer she had scrounged up on ocean conservation.
“For the whales,” the Outsider pronounces solemnly.
