    Summary

    At four years old, Harry Potter learned that humans hurt, but snakes just hide. So he stopped being human.

    Now he's eleven—technically. In reality, he’s a python with PTSD, a Parseltongue-only vocabulary, and a neurological inability to remember how legs work. When Hagrid kicks down the door, he finds not a boy, but a traumatized reptile who hasn’t walked, spoken English, or been warm in seven years.

    Enter Severus Snape, who did not sign up to be the foster guardian of a dissociated snake, and yet here he is: setting warming charms, prying Harry out of ventilation shafts with Wingardium Leviosa, and discovering that his new ward communicates exclusively in hisses that sound suspiciously like insults.

    Year One: Harry learns to walk again, befriends a Draco Malfoy who smells like "food" (and friendship), refuses to play Seeker, and saves the day via strategic biting.

    Summary

    "When he arrived at Malfoys desk no one was sitting at it, he breathed deeply. The air around Malfoys desk somehow felt clearer, cooler. He folded his own jacket neatly and placed it gently on Malfoy’s desk. Nabbing a sticky note and a pen he scrawled out a quick sorry and placed it atop the pile.

    He took a moment to relish in the ease he could breathe whilst standing near Malfoys desk. He knew he couldn’t stay for long but these few seconds might as well have been gold for the relief they provided him with."

    Summary

    Since the end of first year, Harry has been living with Severus Snape — and somewhere along the way, they stopped being ward and guardian and became father and son. But when Draco Malfoy comes to stay for the summer, Harry finds himself retreating under the sting of whispered insults and growing fear that maybe his place in Snape’s life isn’t as safe as he believed.

    Summary

    Sometimes, Harry thinks he’s destined to die young.

    The thought is terribly morbid and devastating for such a young child. He yearns for peace, for escape from the pain inflicted by the Dursleys. Their expectations are a heavy weight on his shoulders, leaving him with secrets that kill and eyes heavy with an ever present shadow of death.

    The wizarding world had cemented this idea. Hagrid revealing his ‘status’ had filled him with a bitter sense of resignation. It seemed that escaping the expectations of others was too much to ask for. Whether it be saving the wizarding world or slaving away for his relatives, there was no escape.

    He wants to be saved, that's all he wants.

    Harry closed his eyes, and allowed himself to drown in the overflow.

    Currently being edited. I'm not changing anything too much; my writing style has improved a lot, and I wanted the earlier parts of this fic to reflect that before I continue writing it. Hopefully I'll have the rest updated within the next week

    Summary

    To the world, Peter Benjamin Parker died November 5th, 2011 in a fatal car accident when he was just 10 years old, along with his social worker, Samantha Lee Jane. The crash had quickly caused a fire–which was also the reason why Peter’s body was never found, only burnt pieces of his flesh in the debris.

    Spider-Man, however, was very much alive.

    Spider-Man also happened to be 14 year old Peter Parker–though, no one but HYDRA knew that.

     

    ***
    Or, Peter Parker is the newest Winter Soldier, trained to be a lethal enemy to the Avengers and disguised in a black and red spandex. What happens when Tony Stark realizes he's been fighting against a traumatized 14 year old this entire time?
