Summary
Living with the basilisk is going to take some adjusting, like learning to navigate hidden tunnels, keep himself secret, and figure out how to use magic (easier said than done). The castle and forest are full of dangers, and as Harry tries to fit into a world of elves, ghosts, and talking portraits, he'll find out if he's up to the challenge.

Summary
“And then he heard the voice for the first time, faint but piercing, not so much in his ears as in the bones of his head, almost singing.”
What if Harry was not afraid of the Basilisk? Harry could be deeply disruptive without even trying - the Slytherins would never know what happened.
Chamber of Secrets is so awesomely Freudian: A giant Snake? That lives in a Cave? Underground? Somebody had to write this. And I love Freud because he gets at the Wild Child inside every adult. I was never thinking of this as an actual child; this is me cutting loose ;)

Summary
“You were not born, Albedo. You are whole because I made you so. You are all duality made singular—you lack for nothing.”
Albedo knows a lot of things: alchemy, mathematics, botany, court politics. He knows that everyone is born with a soulmate because he can see them bound together by a single red string between their fingers.
He also knows that he alone does not have one--until the dethroned King Kaeya of Khaenri'ah makes a single wish from a balcony in Mondstadt and pulls a star from the sky.

Summary
Professor Albedo is no psychologist, but even he knows that parasocial relationships are not inherently unhealthy. They’re perfectly normal. Perfectly perfect.
Just like Aether, his favorite streamer. His favorite student.
Just like this.

For as long as he has known him, his lord has always had an inclination to sneak out at night to have a moment of respite, to indulge in certain activities that may have been frowned upon in his everyday life. The Ashina castle may be an intimidating, unknown territory, but that still doesn't prevent Kuro from planning yet another escapade in Wolf's company.

Summary
Deep down, he is afraid of dying, that much he can admit to himself. Coming to terms with his own death is, after all, not an easy task. Even if he is resolved to see their plan through, he knows his heart still yearns for things he will never have.
It may be selfish, but he is not willing to reach the end of the line without having this at least once.
