Summary
Harry's not sure what to do with himself after the war.
He goes to see his mind healer once a week. Refuses any and all offers to join the ministry as an auror and tries to not think himself selfish for it. Bakes every now and then. When he can't sleep, he duels with conjured targets in Arthur's garage. Takes Molly out on shopping dates. Tries to figure out what he wants. Tells himself he will redo the Weasley's back garden before Ron's and Hermione's wedding in the summer - the muggle way. He digs soil. Moves stones.
The physical activity keeps him occupied and bone-tired at the end of the day.
He still thinks too much.
He thinks he might be ready for more in life - not that he necessarily knows what more means.

Summary
Harry Potter vanished without a trace.
Five years after the Boy Who Lived disappeared from the wizarding world, Britain is in chaos. The Order of the Phoenix is fractured. Voldemort has gone disturbingly silent. And no spell or seer has been able to find Harry or his body.
But Harry isn’t dead. He’s been reborn.
Summoned to the bank, Harry discovers hidden truths: lost vaults, noble bloodlines, and a magical inheritance concealed by Albus Dumbledore. Blood tests reveal he is heir to the Imperial House of Caliban, an ancient magical dynasty believed extinct. Trained in secret, Harry is reborn as Emperor-to-be Haylan Caliban, destined to rule the magical world.
As he steps into the political spotlight at his Beautillion Ball, Haylan shakes the world. Old families kneel or crumble. Dumbledore panics. Voldemort watches. And Blaise Zabini—cool & clever—catches the Emperor’s eye. But Haylan's return is not without cost. As friends become enemies and rebels rise from unexpected places, Haylan must decide what kind of ruler he will be: just or feared, merciful or absolute. But the world must reckon with the one truth it forgot:
The House of Caliban Always Returns.

Summary
Merlin visits Lake Avalon every year on the anniversary of Arthur's death. Every year, he makes the same wish - that he would once again be reunited with Arthur.
Merlin lies down in the grassy outcrop that replaced the dried up lake and dreams of Arthur. He still thinks he's dreaming when Lake Avalon fills back up with thrashing, frigid water and threatens to take him away from the land of the living.
When Merlin is drowning, he dreams of Arthur's face. He dreams that he feels Arthur's strong arms holding him once again, pulling him from the grasp of the lake and onto the safety of the shoreline.
Merlin still thinks he's dreaming when Arthur speaks to him and reassures him that he's here to stay. It's almost too real for Merlin to handle.
But, what if it wasn't a dream, after all?

Summary
Harry Potter never wanted eternal glory. He just wanted a quiet year, a little less trauma, and maybe a nap that didn’t end in existential dread. But when the Goblet of Fire spits out his name, the boy who never asks for attention is thrown back into the spotlight—alone, accused, and burdened with surviving a tournament meant for champions twice his age.
Reserved, intense, and far more perceptive than his silence suggests, Viktor becomes the one person who doesn’t flinch at Harry’s fire—or the weight he carries. He doesn’t ask questions. He doesn’t need to. Because while the world demands explanations, Viktor offers stillness. Witness. Protection without permission.
As dragons rise and secrets unravel, Harry begins to realize that danger isn’t always in the tasks—it’s in the way someone looks at you like you’re worth saving.
A slow-burn, emotionally immersive retelling of Goblet of Fire where the fire isn’t just in the tournament… it’s in every glance, every unspoken word, and every step Viktor Krum takes toward a boy who never asked to be chosen.
