Summary
Harry knew that sometimes people were just stupid. Take soulmates, for example. Wizards thought so much about them, but Harry knew better. Soulmates didn't matter, just like blood didn't matter. After all, Harry shared blood with Dudley, but it didn't make him a bully like his cousin. So what that his soulmate was a Dark Lord? That didn't make Harry evil either.
But people were stupid, and if Harry's time with Dursleys taught him anything, it's that the best way to deal with one's freakishness was to hide it.
So he does exactly that.
OR
A messy Soulmate AU with magical theory, worldbuilding, character study, and occasional angst.

Summary
Harry found an indestructible journal and what a better way to use it other than as a sketchbook? Sure, it later turned out that there is some ghost living there, but it doesn't mind and doesn't interfere much, so really, what's the problem?
It's not until his fourth year that Harry realises that there can be something more to this little black sketchbook than he thought.

Summary
Hogwarts was his home and he will do anything to stay there. And if Founder's Heirs have some privileges, well... he needed to find a way to have these privileges too.
And if he accidentally caught the attention of a certain Dark Lord then well, that might be even useful.
_______
Originally it was just a very short attempt at the trope subversion, but it basically became an exploration of my slight fascination with blood. Nothing too explicit, though.

Summary
Amortentia didn't create love but instead enhanced the feelings that were already there. Ginny knew this, just like she knew that Harry already loved her. But he was shy, so perhaps he needed a little push?
_____________A short exploration of the "Ginny doses Harry with love potion" trope. Slightly dark and creepy.
