Is It Better To Speak or To Die by unbandaged_human

Summary
“Boy!” Vernon’s voice snapped Harry out of his thoughts. He looked up to see his uncle glaring at him. “Are you even listening?”
“Yes, Uncle Vernon,” Harry muttered, quickly averting his eyes.
Vernon grunted, satisfied, and turned back to his meal. But Harry kept sneaking glances at Petunia, her silence speaking louder than any of Vernon’s rants ever could.
For the first time, Harry wondered if she was trapped too.
When the wards fail after an incident, Harry is cast out of the Dursleys and into the reluctant care of Professor Snape. Silent and spiraling, Harry discovers an unsettling power within him. With a growing Dark Lord, Malfoy under the same roof, and secrets simmering, healing might not be enough to save them.

Summary
Marinette Dupain-Cheng’s life is set around fashion school and pulling double shifts at a quiet cafe in Paris. Her predictable life is turned upside down when a boy wearing a ridiculous disguise orders a black coffee.
He’s nervous, intriguing even. And no matter how hard she tries, Marinette can’t stop noticing him.
Some connections sneak up quietly in the middle of ordinary moments, such as in stolen glances and passing seconds—until suddenly, they’re impossible to ignore.
What happens when the person who catches your eye might also be the one you can’t fully trust? Sometimes the hardest part isn’t falling for someone—it’s figuring out if you should.

I must not tell lies. I must not tell lies. I must not tell lies–
Carved on a hand with blood, Harry accidentally and unknowingly creates a binding magical contract– one that prevents him from telling a lie.
Can Harry use this curse to his advantage? Or will it reveal everything he holds secret? Will the world believe him about Voldemort’s return, or will they brush off his warnings as the ravings of an attention seeking liar? And why is Snape butting his nose into Harry’s memories?

Summary
When Harry finds an injured Snape on his doorstep and must hide him from the Dursleys, he has no idea that this very, very bad day will be the start of something good.
Harry and Snape are thrown together by annoying relatives, a series of strange dreams, and Voldemort's latest hunt for Harry, but their greatest challenge may well be surviving each other. This will be a long summer unless the two can find a way to work together. A slow-burn enemy-to-mentor story.
Alternate 6th summer (and part of the school year): post-OotP; ignores HBP and DH. No slash, no romance. NOW COMPLETE!

Summary
They amble along the highway for what could be any amount of time. Neil reaches over to turn on the radio at some point, leaving it tuned in to Andrew’s usual station. He tries to focus on the faint beat of the music and not the way Neil is looking at him from the passenger seat, trying however successfully to read Andrew’s mind. These days, he might actually be good at it.
It’s an unsettling thought. It shouldn’t be. After all, isn’t that what Andrew has always wanted? To be known? Understood? Believed? Isn’t that why he spent countless parts of himself to belong to families that never really saw him?
Neil is here. Neil sees him.
So why does Andrew feel scraped raw?

Summary
“I must not have heard you correctly, Headmaster,” Severus said flatly.
“You did, my boy. This isn’t only a favour to me, you understand.”
“But there must be trust," Severus insisted. "A bond… or some sort of relationship between mentor and pupil for Occlumency to be taught correctly! The only bond the brat and I share is one of mutual loathing.”
“Now, Severus, you are an adult and a Hogwarts professor. Surely, you can find a way to mend broken bridges.”
Broken bridges? Broken bridges? There had never been a "bridge" to begin with! Not with Potter, the carbon copy of his school bully, who spoke, acted, believed himself so superior to anyone else he might as well be the second coming of his father. There had always only been damp planks slogging down a river which separated them on two opposite banks. No bridge to speak of.
OR
Summer of Fifth Year. Dumbledore decides Harry should begin Occlumency immediately. Harry and Snape start seeing a lot of each other. Neither is thrilled, especially when they begrudgingly realise that maybe, possibly, perhaps, they might have more in common than they thought. -

Summary
“Your prints were a match for a missing persons case from ten years ago. A little boy who was kidnapped.”
The officer pulls out a picture that she turns toward Peter. It’s a little boy around four years old, with curly brown hair. “That’s you,” she says.
Peter shakes his head.
“Do you remember how you got to that park? Who left you there?”
“Lady, I don’t remember jack shit,” Peter says. “I was like four. No one remembers shit from when they were four.”

Or: the biodad au where Peter gets arrested for selling drugs, and that actually improves his life.

“So Spidey’s supposed to be hibernating. You think somebody should tell him that?”
“Oh, come on. You really think he’d lay low for an entire season? The guy who fought crime with his arm in a sling for two weeks after that last Goblin debacle?”
Hlib raised his hands. “You’re the one losing his mind about it.”
There had to be something they could do.
It's Peter's first winter with spider metabolism, and he's not handling it well. Luckily New York is more than willing to lend him a hand.

Summary
Set during the summer after Harry's Fifth Year. The fifteen-year-old is struggling to cope with his godfather's recent death, ridden with guilt, shame, remorse, and much internal conflict, depression looming on the horizon. The Dursleys aren't helping things either. Things take a sudden twist for the worse when the Blood Wards around Privet Drive fall, rendering Harry unsafe. What's the solution? Dumbledore arranges for Harry to stay with his most hated person after Voldemort and Umbridge: Severus Snape. In isolation. For two weeks. It goes without saying that neither wizard is pleased, and their feelings of mutual hatred are much reciprocated. And with a ticking sleep-deprived Gryffindor time-bomb, that right there is a recipe for a dangerous concoction.
Angst, hurt/comfort, emphasis on psychology and character developement. Super slice-of-life kind of story where every chapter is one day of the two weeks our two favorite characters have to spend in isolation. And the chapters are LONG. Panic attacks, stress, anxiety all based off of personal experiences. Written in third-person omniscient. Heavy emphasis on internal conflict, feelings, emotions, and learning to cope with life's shit.

{Reddit} My Fuckbuddy is kind to my cat and my cat likes him. I’m starting to have feelings for him because of that.

If anyone were to ask how this all happened Neil wouldn’t really know where to start. On one hand he could blame it on Kevin for being a shitty roommate and dragging him off to a party the night before an exam, or he could blame it on whatever idiot had popped his tires and left him stranded without a ride home, but truthfully when it came down to it there was only thing that kept him coming back to this.
His fucking cats.

Summary
Her body pressed against his, not overly heavy in its weight, yet enough to have the memories flood back. Memories of Jordie's arm, heavy and lifeless, pinning him against a mound of bodies. And with the memory, the damp came back, and the smell, and the cold and the fear.
Inej was twirling her hips against his and all he could think about was falling into the harbour and having Jordie come crashing down atop him.

Summary
“Per Haskell gave him the attic to humiliate him, making him climb the stairs so often,” Jesper told her once, as they watched a Razorgull messenger reach their landing, puffing for breath before starting the last flight of stairs to Kaz’s attic rooms. Jesper dealt another hand as he spoke, the gesture automatic; he was teaching her Zemeni card games in their free time. “So of course, Kaz had to turn it into the Dregs’ center of operations and make all of us climb the damn stairs right along with him.”
Though she wasn’t paid to do it, she gathered secrets about Kaz anyway. It was becoming a habit: anywhere she went, from the chip vendors to the roofs of chapels, she gathered.
(5+1: the Crows as they learn to understand Kaz Brekker.)
