    Summary

    I must not tell lies. I must not tell lies. I must not tell lies–

    Carved on a hand with blood, Harry accidentally and unknowingly creates a binding magical contract– one that prevents him from telling a lie.

    Can Harry use this curse to his advantage? Or will it reveal everything he holds secret? Will the world believe him about Voldemort’s return, or will they brush off his warnings as the ravings of an attention seeking liar? And why is Snape butting his nose into Harry’s memories?

    Summary

    Harry Potter is being ignored by everyone who’s supposed to care, takes a fall off a ladder and wakes up in a hospital. With nowhere left to go and a deep mistrust of adult intervention, he escapes to London for a night where things, naturally, get worse. He’s got no plan, a bruised skull, and a wand he’s not allowed to use. What he does get is Severus Snape, pressed into reluctant babysitter duty by Dumbledore himself.

    Summary

    Mike was missing again.

    Not on purpose – at least, that’s what he would claim when someone inevitably tracked him down, because they would find him, even there, sitting high above Sattler Quarry with his legs dangling over the edge of the cliff he’d jumped from all those years ago. He’d woken up that morning with his bedsheets wrapped around his legs and his skin slick with sweat, the phantom-cold fingers of a nightmare still tangled in the folds of his brain leaving frostbite streaks in their wake as they reluctantly retreated to wait for the next time exhaustion won over his will, and he was on his bike pedaling away from the house as fast as his legs would let him with nothing but the clothes on his back when the sun was still only a thought hovering below the horizon.

    It wasn’t like he enjoyed making them worry, but the idea of biking back home felt impossible, and he didn’t trust himself to stand and drag his feet away from the cliff’s edge rather than shuffling the mere few inches further to plummet once again, only this time with no one to magically save him partway down.

    OR Will finds Mike on a cliff at the quarry, getting eaten alive by his guilt, and they talk.
