    Summary

    Somehow, I find myself reborn in the world of Harry Potter as a no-name orphan. You know what that means: pursuing magic's secrets and uncovering the most tantalizing of mysteries this world has to offer! Oh, Voldemort? Why should I care? SI OC. A slow-boil, realistic journey of a man rediscovering his path in a world of great magic— whether for good, or for evil.

    Summary

    "Are you happy now, that he's on the ground
    And do you realize the words you say make bruises that don't fade away
    Are you happy now, that you've brought him down
    And he's thinking that he won't fit in
    'Cause you said something's wrong with him
    Are you happy now?"
    Are You Happy Now by Meg and Liz
    ---

    Percy is near his breaking point.

    He just can't do it anymore. It's become too much. One night, when he attempts to jump off the Astronomy Tower, he's pulled back at the last second by the last person he ever thought would be there.

    ~~

    Oliver Wood never bothered to get to know his dormmate. They'd essentially lived separate lives. Now he felt guilty. Guilty for treating him like he wasn't there. guilty for not recognizing the signs.

    He decides he wants to get to know Percy Weasley. And that year, the boys develop a deep friendship. Over the course of that year, Percy feels a sense of belonging. he feels love and acceptance for who he really is.

    Summary

    The Dance of the Dragons was the most devastating conflict Westeros had ever seen, one hundred and seventy years before the War of the Five Kings. In the end, a succession of deaths and betrayals allowed the kingdom to find peace and recover. But what if it had not happened? What if the courage of a young dragoness had pushed this war to be fought to the bitter end?

    Summary

    "I didn't even get to say goodbye," Sansa sniffled into his tunic.
     
    "I was going to send her bones to Winterfell," Ned said slowly. "But the men found a weirwood tree near the road, about an hour north of here. They will bury her beneath it, and the old gods will watch over her."

    Lady is buried beneath a weirwood tree, and Sansa prays to the old gods for Lady to stay with her. Her prayer is answered, in a manner of speaking. Everything changes.

    Summary

    “Believe it or not,” Anna Ripley says, peeling off a bloodstained glove, “I rather like you alive, Percival.”

    She smiles down at him and, with the light behind her, her hair is like a dark halo.

    “Chin up,” she says, patting his cheek with metal fingers. “I’ll take good care of you.”
