Summary
At first, Stiles had been in denial—how could they have known?—and then bitterness—how could they have not known?—until finally, acceptance and apathy. Stiles just didn’t care enough about the pack that had abandoned him to feel anything more towards them than a brief twinge of annoyance and betrayal. He didn’t think that feeling would ever fully go away, but he was getting better. He was one of the most powerful mages in the country, and maybe in the world. He had trained under Auntie Margie for two years, and Grandmaster Isouke for one, making what sometimes felt like a million friends of as many species, and his life was finally, finally, back on track, rattling towards a bright future. Of course, that’s when Beacon Hills decided to insert itself back into his life, five years after he left it.
--
Stiles returns to Beacon Hills five years after the pack abandoned him, thinking that there was nothing left for him there, but he quickly discovers that an unfortunate series of misunderstandings could turn deadly.

Summary
Harry does not give up the Horcrux when he dies.
Can goodness be a hero’s tragic flaw?
Moved by compassion, he embraces it instead.
Can forgiveness be a gift unconsciously granted?
What follows next, he could not predict. He’s not sure he ever really had a choice in the matter.
Can love exist, even flourish, in a heart that does not give its consent?
The world Harry wakes up to is not like the one he remembers.
This is a horror story.
And his captor is neither the same as he was, nor as different as he would like.
This is a love story.

What wouldn't I do
To place my hand against your chest; to feel your heart beating strong
Your breath is my soul,
Your pulse is my song.A story of obsession.

Summary
One would think traveling 52 years into the past would allow Harry some much desired anonymity, but unfortunately the malfunctioning Triwizard Cup spat Harry out on the quidditch pitch in the middle of a game. There's no lying about his provenance while a shiny plaque on the base of the Cup announces to everyone he is 'Harry Potter, Hogwarts Champion, 1994.'
Swept up by the ministry and sworn to secrecy by the Unspeakables, Harry is left to navigate the past on his own. Good thing his great-grandparents are willing to take him in - even if they're a little more into blood purity than Harry had expected - and Hogwarts is willing to welcome him back - even if he's a novelty to everyone as the time traveling Champion.
At least Harry will have the familiarity of Gryffindor Tower to ease his homesickness. Or he would, if the sorting hat hadn't put him in Slytherin, where he's forced to share a dorm with none other than Tom Riddle.
---
In which Harry is determined to prevent Voldemort's rise, even if he has to stalk, bribe, threaten, and marry Tom Riddle to do it.

Summary
"Shit," she growls, dragging herself to him. He doesn't look too bad off, a little roughed up, easy enough to wake with a jostle, and as soon as his eyes snap open, she's hissing, "what the hell are you doing here? How are you here? You shouldn't be- oof!"
He's got her gathered in his arms, laughing with a manic kind of relief, "Oh my god, oh my god, I found you!"
She sighs, but latches onto him, incapable of denying herself the comfort of a gentle touch, not after- not after everything. She closes her eyes, breathes him in, lemon rinds and snowdrops and Pack, lets herself melt into the touch, soft and tender.
"You found me," She says, "but now somebody needs to find you, huh?"
He pulls away a little startled, blinks at her, smiles sheepishly, "Uhh, yeah. I guess so."
She huffs out a breath and cuffs him, "Idiot."
[Or: The one where Stiles finds Derek's missing Betas, gets captured and tortured by the Alphas, all while everyone else looks for him. Add a few creepy dreams, some wings, and a whole lotta magic.]
