it foretells only rain by AGlassRoseNeverFades

Summary
It seems laughable now to think that he could ever have been destined for more than this. From a boy so lucky to be alive they gave him a lofty title to match, to the supposed savior of humanity, to tawdry spoils of the very war he lost. It is a new kind of bravery Harry must hold onto these days, if he is to get through this with any of his sanity or self-respect left intact.
He won't just give up on living though, on hope. Somebody has to be here, after all, to take care of the girl, so if not for himself, then he'll at least do it for her. He can suffer any indignity thrown his way if it means that just one child born into this endless, bitter cycle of longing and loathing will grow up loved.
Sometimes, a ray of sunshine will break through the storm clouds even when it's always raining.

Summary
“I hesitated to tell you.” Albus admits softly, drawing Sirius and everyone else out of their minds lost in the sick news. “But the longer I held onto this information, the more guilt I felt.”
“I wish you hadn’t told us.” Tonks whispers, shaking her head.
Moody hushes her. “You don’t mean that. Ignorance is bliss and death.” She winces at his light scold and nods minutely.

Summary
"Mr Riddle," James said unwillingly, a bland smile of his own plastered on his face. "I was just telling Tom here that I would love to stay for tea, but I'm afraid I must be on my way. Very important appointment."
"Of course," Riddle demurred, folding his hands in front of him. "We wouldn't want to keep you, would we?" He turned to the boys, who had gone curiously quiet. "It's always a pleasure to have Harry with us for an evening, when you are otherwise occupied with these... important appointments."
Oh, how James dearly wished to be twenty years younger and able to excuse punching someone in the face as a folly of youth.
James Potter adamantly refuses to lose to Tom Riddle Senior when it comes to anything—being the best single father, driving the most expensive cars, or being the most generous charity donor—which is how he finds himself signing up for a bachelor auction at his son's school.
But as time goes on, James begins to ask himself a very important question: why does Riddle seem content to let this competition go without a fight?

Summary
Take a quiet, introverted Sakura with a scientifically minded brain, and a penchant for perfectionism, and throw her onto team 7.
A story of a what-could-have-been, but not necessarily a fix-it.
OR
Sasuke was the rookie-of-the-year, hailed as a genius. But... If more people knew that Sakura had near-perfect chakra control and the brains to put it to use (which she does to Kakashi's fascination and horror), she would be hailed as a prodigy.

Summary
"An aged man is but a paltry thing,
A tattered coat upon a stick, unless
Soul clap O sages standing in God's holy fire
As in the gold mosaic of a wall,
Come from the holy fire, perne in a gyre,
And be the singing-masters of my soul.
Consume my heart away; sick with desire
And fastened to a dying animal
It knows not what it is; and gather me
Into the artifice of eternity."
Excerpt from Sailing to Byzantium by William Butler YeatsThis is a containment zone for "Come From the Holy Fire" and any additional side pieces.
Disclaimer: Title choices aside and personal enjoyment and use of some themes aside, Come From the Holy Fire generally matches canon tones, meaning that there is humor in the fic.

Summary
There's a quote that comes to mind: “Treat a man as he is, and he will remain as he is. Treat a man as he could be, and he will become what he should be.” If they'd been smart, the citizens of Konoha would have realized this. If you call a boy a monster, then a monster he shall be. Natsume has a head full of a past life's knowledge and the sinking realization that in this world, no one will step up to protect him and Naruto. So he learns to do it himself, even if it means staining his hands so Naruto can keep his clean.

Summary
“-and Gamma really hates it when I mess with his organizational system but I do it anyway because it’s funny to piss him off.” That’s Theta’s voice, from the other room. It sounds like he’s talking to someone new. Huh, Scaramouche can’t believe any one version of the Dottores is capable of making friends.
“Which one is Gamma again?” A new voice. Scaramouche pauses. There was something about it…Dottore makes a segment... of younger Scaramouche (circa pre-backstory cutscene).
"I am not your Mother!" Ei shrieks.
Kuni recoils. That… stings worse than the Musou no Hitotachi.
Then, the Tengu says, "Raiden Shogun!"
Wait, Shogun? Kuni whips back to stare at the image of his mother, reassessing her, and oh… It's easy to tell she's just like him now that he knows what he's looking for. Scaramouche was not lying about them being identical. How mortifying to have called your sister your mother.
Kuni winces. "Sorry."
Shogun looks perplexed.- Language:

Summary
Trapped by a brutal sandstorm, Kaveh is accidentally forced into exploring the lewd architecture of one of King Deshret's old temples deep under the dunes. Inside, there is a strange device containing a shred of the old God King's mind; unique knowledge that King Deshret had to seal away from even himself to prevent far too much indulgence in the carnal enlightenment.
Kaveh realizes this is a find that many scholars would kill for.
Except there's a few issues:
This part of the God King's mind is far too lascivious to not impart every bit of his sensual knowledge into Kaveh's skin.
And King Deshret looks exactly like Alhaitham.
