Summary
Harry Potter has never been normal. Even before he was born, he was a child of prophecy. So no part of his life could be called normal in the slightest. When given the chance to have a 'normal' life, does he even know what that means? No, he's gone through too much to even try, and he's too tired to care. It's too bad everyone expects him to be the upstanding son and heir of the Potter family when he's never had family before in his life though.
Also, the baby is a little difficult to explain. The baby who may eventually turn into Lord Voldemort...no, nature vs. nurture and all, and Harry plans to nurture the hell out of this kid.

Summary
After the Christmas argument about Harry's Firebolt, Hermione decides that she's not putting up with the boys' sulking anymore, and she's going to do something about it. What happens next is a testament to the strong bonds forged through people actually talking to each other, the desperation involved in keeping your best friend alive and in one piece, and the desire to build a better, safer world for him to live in, no matter what the objections from the adults.
In other words, the risk in manipulating things to create child-soldiers is that they will decide that you, too, are also something to protect themselves against.
Revised, Edited, and Rewritten: After a lot of feedback about how the writing got better as this fic went on, I've been taking a break, not just to have the burn-out breakdown from IRL work, but also to rewrite some of the earlier chapters (mostly 1-5) hoping to improve on what was already there, and add things I wish I'd thought of the first time.

Summary
He had no intention of kissing her before they took their vows—never felt compelled to, but—
He would kiss her for his siblings who never grew old enough to know what kissing was.
He would kiss her for Alyssa, who—gods—probably would have wanted to kiss her, too, after a speech like that.
He would kiss her for his son, Aegon, who never made it from his cradle.
He would kiss her for his eldest brother, Aemon, who would have adored her just as he did.
He would kiss her as his mother and father once kissed each other.
And for himself, too, because he could no longer resist.
(Some day, maybe even some day soon, his son would kiss her too.)
☀️ 🌩️ 🌥️ 🌙
or, Baelon lives and loves his niece too much to let her go—she becomes his queen, and what she becomes to Daemon—well, that is to be determined.

Summary
“He closed the case in a week,” Jack Crawford said. “Eight months of us going nowhere, he takes a look, and we have the Shrike. All in one week. He should be in the field.”
“But he can’t,” Alana said sharply. “You know the rules. Will does not do field work unless a case had no leads for six months, and only with the deputy director’s approval.”
When he was in graduate school, Will Graham caught the eye of the best Intelligence agent in the world.
Years later, Jack Crawford enlists Hannibal Lecter's help for Will, who is left shaken after catching the Minnesota Shrike.
