Summary
When Petunia Dursley refused to take Harry in she forfeited his birthright protection, so Dumbledore took the baby to the safest place he knew: Hogwarts.
The applicable staff (mostly just… not Snape) took Harry in on a rotating schedule as he grew from baby to toddler to child. They traded extra credit for babysitting among the older students, and Harry grew up knowing a few dozen different laps that were safe and warm to nap in.
This was a Harry who grew up among books, among old transient walls and learned professors. They gave Binns night duty sometimes, and let him talk young Harry to sleep. This was a Harry whose world changed, on principle, daily. The stairs moved. The walls became doors. You had to keep your eyes open–you had to pay attention. So he did.
He grew up in a school. Knowledge was power, but knowledge was also joy. This was his sanctuary. There was magic in his world from birth.

Summary
Harry finds a better life with the basilisk, but that doesn't mean it's easy. From inter-being feuds, to bloody prophecies, to elven unrest, Harry is in the eye of a hurricane that will change the wizarding world forever.
Involving thestrals, merfolk, house elves, centaurs, acromantulae, and various other friends, denizens, and allies.
This series is: Queer in a multitude of ways. Morally complex. A massively canon-divergent AU. Filled with oc's and non-oc's. A story about relationships, love, trust, friendship, healing ... and revolution.
There are seven novel-length fics, plus a prologue (to leap and love the fall) and two longer stories (with courage unyielding and the gentle sunlight). The short story collection to journey on contains shorter stories set within the main timeline. All are posted in the correct reading order.

Summary
There was another student here.
Tom recognized him vaguely—while transfer students were not necessarily uncommon due to the war, they were rare enough to at least make an impression. This particular transfer student was in his year, sorted into Ravenclaw after an impressively long hat stall. He looked like he might be descended from the Potter line, but he did not share the surname so his lineage was of no particular interest to Tom. Nothing about him was of particular interest to Tom, in fact, and yet here he stood, holding the book that Tom had come here to find.
It would be a good time to turn away. The Restricted Section was restricted for a reason—only books documenting extremely dangerous or extremely advanced magic were stored here.
Tom’s feet, however, suddenly felt as if they were made of lead. It wasn’t magic keeping him tied down, but something far more mysterious like curiosity or even fate. In any case, the delay was all it took for the Ravenclaw to lift his chin and meet Tom’s eyes.
This Ravenclaw, Tom realized, had eyes as blindingly green as the Killing Curse.

Tom, immortal aspiring Dark Lord, apparently has no say in the matter.

to love, and to be loved, is to be changed.

Summary
There are three kinds of soulmates, and Tony has known from the day he was born that his soul-mark above his heart meant his soulmate would be his own child someday in the future. When Peter is born with a matching mark above his heart, Tony worries about what that means for him. Peter is 7 when Tony gets kidnapped in Afghanistan. He’s only home for a month and trying to figure out all the complex emotions of what happened to him when Peter disappears. Tony locks himself in his lab for 4 years, waiting for the return of his son. For four years Peter’s been bullied in school and felt completely isolated, moving from place to place with May and Ben Parker. For four years Peter has told teachers, neighbors, whoever would listen that he’s been kidnapped, and that his name is Peter, not Ben. No one believes him until he meets Ned. Peter had had a soulmate once… his father, but his soul-mark had been burned off. He wishes more than anything that he could figure out who his parents were and if they were still alive. In a confusing world where May and Ben tell him every day that he’s confused about the details of his life, Peter only knows one thing for certain: he knows his name is Peter.
