Summary
Little Whinging, Surrey is a place where individuality goes to die. Row after row of identical houses line the streets with pristine, white picket fences and perfectly pruned hedges and house perfectly normal families. Those who live on Privet Drive are no exception to this.
But there is one little boy who does not fit into that mould.
Little Hari Potter, who has befriended snakes and knows their ways, hears his neighbors whispering of things he wanted them to notice and says, “Aunt Petunia, did you hear? Mrs. Number Six thinks we’re too poor to afford clothes for two children. I heard her talking about asking the neighbors for donations for us. Isn’t that nice of her? I know that I’m a huge burden on you all, so I’m glad that someone is stepping up to help out.”
And that simply will not do. The Dursleys care more for their reputation than anything else, and so things slowly but surely begin to change as a result.
The Hari Potter who arrives at Hogwarts could never sort anywhere but Slytherin.

Summary
The Mayfields moved in across the way, and Eddie saw Steve carrying boxes. A bit weird to see Steve Harrington in the trailer park, sure, but maybe the mom paid him twenty bucks or something to help with moving. Not a huge deal. Then Eddie saw Steve Harrington pull up outside that same trailer in his BMW the very next night, around one in the morning. The little redheaded freshman girl came out of her place carrying a backpack and got into the car, and before Eddie could blink Steve was driving off, and Eddie felt like he might throw up.
Sure, technically it's none of his business, but Jesus fuckin' Christ, the girl can't be any more than fifteen at the oldest, and that’s if he’s being generous. He’s almost sure she’s fourteen. Steve's a grown-ass man, so Eddie would probably be well within his rights to call the cops, but what the hell would he say? Officer, I saw them talking. He gave her a ride. The hell kind of evidence is that? Besides, the cops don't give a shit about anything that happens on this side of town, and they sure as hell don’t give a shit about anything that Eddie Munson has to say. Eddie's gonna have to figure something else out.

Summary
Doom comes to Hawkins, Indiana. Population est. 30,000.
It’s cold, that’s all, and the breeze is kicking up. That’s why Steve feels the chill go up his spine like someone dropped an ice-cube down his back.
“Why wouldn’t I be real, El?”
“The Aboleth got you.”

Summary
He didn’t know silence could be so loud, could weigh so heavily.
But the silence that filled the square when Skeeter called for a volunteer was deafening.
Heartbreaking.
Oppressive.
Harry didn’t expect a volunteer to take his place, he was already walking to the stage with his head held high. And he was right: his soft footsteps, from a body too thin, too worn, was the only sound ringing in the wake of Skeeter's words.
District 12 kids never win. Sirius Black had been the exception, but Harry Potter had no chance.
The odds were never in his favor.

Summary
Harry Potter was very lonely. Yes, he had friends, a good job, and just finished his mastery in defense, but it was usually just him and his son all alone at night when everyone else had families and lives apart from them. When he learned by chance that he may actually have some living family, it should have been an easy decision to reach out to them. Unfortunately, nothing comes easily to Harry. Harry's biological father just had to be the most difficult person in the world to get a meeting to see, and the absolutely most suspicious when confronted with a paternity claim.
Tony Stark was very lonely. He and Pepper had recently broken up. His friends had betrayed him, and he was now forced to live with the very same people who had hurt him. He didn't think he could take one more blow and stay standing under it. Tony didn't have family; he didn't know what to do with family; too bad Tony's family wasn't sure what to do with him either, but they were going to give it a hell of a try anyway.

Harry Potter is stupidly powerful. He loves to clean things, and he decides to clean up the magical world before he even learned his first spell. Not a serious fanfic. Just a bit of fluff and fun.

There are stories with snakes that bite and say {you knew what I was when you picked me up} but this isn't one of them. This is the kind of story where the abandoned child walks in the jungle beneath the branches full of hissing things and tells them {we be of one blood ye and I}.
Harriet Potter is eleven and she chooses.

Summary
An unusually hot summer quickly escalates into the worst damn summer Peter has ever had, one out of five stars on yelp, zero out of ten dentists recommend. And he isn’t talking about it. Ever. Months later, during an unusually cold November, Tony and Happy are attempting to bond with the kid but don’t understand why the harder they try, the more Peter seems to be pulling away.
-
Or: Four times something bad happens, and three times Peter opens up about it. Because he’ll never ever admit he accidentally broke Tony’s favorite mug. -

Summary
There is a tap on the table top and a quiet, “Scusatemi, signorina,” and she looks up. There is a boy there, no more than twenty, and he is undoubtedly American, though his Italian is so polished that even she would be unsure if not for his hesitant slouch— discomfort, it says I am out of place. His gaze is not demanding. It is not cold, either— but intelligent, distant. Not assessing, but calculating. As if she is made of code, and he is reading her.
“I speak English,” she tells him, “better than Italian.”
He slumps with something akin to relief. “Oh- that’s. That’s cool. I’m really sorry to ask-“ and he looks it, wincing and pulling his own fingers, “-but would it be okay if I sit with you? My mamma is in a formaggeria across the piazza and I desperately don’t want to stand in there and smell cheese for an hour so I was gonna grab an espresso but every other table is filled and I don’t want to impose but—?” He looks at her. He is sharp, ardent with a wisdom that puts her teeth on edge. No young man should look like that: as if he has stared straight into the barrel of a gun and laughed at the bullet, swallowed it whole.
He looks old for his age. He just. He looks.

Peter Parker is totally nailing life right now. He's kicking ass as Spider-Man and crushing his internship. He and Mr Stark are getting close – him and Iron Man, what even is his life? – and now Mr Stark wants to introduce him to his boyfriend.

Summary
The Rogues are back; Tony Stark couldn't even be mad about it - it was his idea after all. He's an Avenger and that means protecting the Earth at any cost - even if he has to deal with a certain star-spangled man and his sullen sidekick. After all, he's been through worse in his life; the loss of his wife and the disappearance of his son 12 years ago. Compared to that, this would be a walk in the park.
Bucky Barnes is back on US soil as a free man. But freedom is more than just physical. On top of that, Steve is desperate for him to be the man he was before. The only problem is; that man is long dead.
Peter Parker has been through the mill but he knows he just had to adapt, roll with the (many) punches and keep going. Spider-man is his safe place now, the one time he could truly feel like himself. Like he is making a difference. He'd make sure no one would suffer like he has, even if he has to track down the perpetrator himself.

Summary
Her godfather is dead. So is Tom Riddle, which appears to be the only thing anyone else cares about. Oh, and getting ahold of her, her money, and her titles. Fuck that noise. Ianthe learned how to Maraud from the best, and she doesn't intend to take this lying down.
She intends to change a single moment in time - and change the life of her godfather, herself, and the whole of Magical Britain. That the price for that change is all that she is, including her life? There's always a price.
Merlin showing up and telling her that the price of her actions isn't her death? Not part of her calculations. Changing the past is surprisingly easy. Living it might just be harder. Especially when the lives she changed to save the future collide with the one she now lives, thirty years in the past.

Summary
Going back in time was meant to be relatively easy. A sacrifice, but by all means not a big one. Instead, Harry finds himself crossing paths with a Narcissa Black who is so far from what he’d expected that he wonders if he arrived at a different universe rather than a different time.
The answer, of course, is that one should never doubt Hermione’s spellcasting abilities. Which just might mean that his life is in for some surreal changes.
Also, Harry might possibly never recover from having Voldemort flirt with him.
