    Summary

    Tim is five years old when he drowns in his parents' pool. He dies quietly, waiting for parents who love him, but will never be there, to realise that something is wrong. They never show up, and he sinks into oblivion.

    When he wakes up and claws his way out of the water, the sun has set, and the lights of his house are on. He is cold and wet and his lungs burn.

    But most of all, Tim is alone.

    (If you die and no-one is there to see it, were you ever alive in the first place?)

    Summary

    James Potter stands in the middle of a ballroom. He is sipping lukewarm champagne, he is waiting for a break in the conversation, and he is wearing a face that is not his.

    Sometime tonight, James will steal something. He doesn’t know what it is yet, but it will change the course of his life forever.

    Or: When James goes on an undercover mission for the Order of the Phoenix, the last thing he expects is for an oddly familiar wizard to snatch his target from right under his nose. Things only get more complicated from there.

    Summary

    Regulus Black died at seventeen, or so everybody believed.

    Five years later, he’s dragged back into the world and dropped into the corpse of Hogsmeade.

    The war is over. Voldemort won. What remains is something worse than war: a regime fed by fear where magic is rationed, and former students are trapped in a nightmare that never ends.

    Some are enemies. Some are almost friends. Some are lovers. But all of them are prisoners of the same brutal, blood-greased system.

    This is not a story of war, but a study of its aftermath—of old grief buried beneath years of lies, of truths traded like coin, of love growing like weeds through the cracks of a fractured world.

    In this new world, loyalties are tested, sanity is threadbare, but the rules are cruelly simple: kill, obey, or disappear.

    Summary

    He takes a long, slow breath. Ignores the glares from the other students. “Superboy,” he murmurs. “It’s me. If you’re listening, I could use some help.”

    Or: 5 times Superboy saves Tim Drake, and one time Tim Drake saves Superboy.
