Summary
Eyes are the window to the soul. This is why legilimency requires eye contact and can delve so much deeper than mere surface thoughts. Occlumency similarly shields the mind, and for those with soulsight; the vision of the soul.
And Harry Potter, even as he is born to James and Lily Potter, has the eyes of a dead Dark Lord in the bright green shade of the killing curse.
They could only explain it as Lily's eyes, even though her's never pierced through one's being or simmered like a live ember.
After all, they could not possibly imagine the truth.
*
Or: Harry is a dark lord reincarnated. Featuring backstory™ and two idiots who think the best way to resolve burgeoning feelings is murder.

Summary
Seventy years ago, a boy who would become a dark lord was born at the end of new year's eve. Seventy years ago, a boy who would be his equal was born at the meeting point of winter and fall.
In between the dangerous, obsessive pas de deux of two raven haired boys, the untold stories of those around them stay silent and overlooked. Stories about mad mothers, lifeblood lollipops, sundry scents and awkward anagrams, which do not make it into the grand stage.
They're still there, though. Overlooked, but not forgotten.
*
This is a collection of side stories from the main story - Raven Black Souls— told from different perspectives, different times, and different people, of the unspoken tales in between.

Summary
Mermaids were creatures of the open oceans, not of the mortal world. The young Reihime woke up one day, and found that the ethereal singing which always surrounded her was gone.
Years pass in the blink of an eye, and Reihime became Suzuka Gozen, but throughout these long years, she never found that familiar singing again.
"Sometimes, when I look at the horizon, just before the sun begins to set, this indescribable feeling rises up in my chest. Almost, sad, in a way."

Summary
A child who is nothing meets a child who is everything. Their collision echoes across the galaxy—across all of time and space—for better or for worse. Gojou holds infinity in his palm; the universe, the void, an eternity of never-ending knowledge. Kousei is a wrecking ball, a tsunami, a hurricane; he can shatter the world under his fingertips. Power is power is power, and Gojou is nothing if not a man with the bearing of a God, collecting the interesting and strong like trinkets or toys—he will have Kousei, maybe now or maybe later.
But he will have him.

Summary
"Just don't ever forget," Gojo said, standing over her, his head pressed to the wall. "You're not allowed to forget. Not ever."
He boxed her in perfectly, towering and blocking her from the rest of the world and the rest of the world from her. She stayed silent, looking up at him. There was an entire world reflected in his eyes, a world untouched and unknown by any other man but him, who reached higher than anyone else.
"You can be reborn as many times as you want," Gojo said. "Look however you want. Become whoever you want."
His head lowered, pressing his forehead to hers. His eyes threatened to swallow her whole.
"I'm the one that named you. Don't you ever forget that."
Or;
A quiet story that takes place a little before Gojo Satoru was born to be the greatest shaman of this era, his youth, triumphs, losses, and his inherent rise to a place unknown by anyone else.
And the one person who bore witness to it all.

Summary
It seems that near enough every day, a new tale comes whispered of Lucerys Velaryon.
They say that he drowned beneath the waters of Shipbreaker Bay, that what arose from the waves was only the shade of the boy that fell from dragonback.
They say that he struck a bargain with the Stranger or worse god yet to live again, that any life reaped by him and his dragon forms some terrible payment to cheat death over and over.
They say that his dragon is no child of Valyria at all, but a demon from the seven hells, one that sees human and dragon alike only as carrion for the feed.
Aemond scorns each and every story for the absurdities that they are. Luke is as he always has been - a greedy, grasping bastard, bent on his ruin. No ghost, god or dragon could alter that.
