Summary
Harry came back to Hogwarts to finish what the war interrupted. He didn't expect to spend his nights on the Astronomy Tower with Draco Malfoy. He didn't expect to fall in love before either of them knew what was waking in their blood.
Some things are chosen. Some things are inherited. And some things, once said in front of the whole wizarding world, can never be taken back.

Summary
Draco Malfoy is one of the most talented Mind Healers at the Ministry. Second to none, in his humble opinion, though he forced himself to have an air of humility about it.
Twenty years after the Second War of the Wizarding World, he wouldn’t have expected to be all but blackmailed into Healing the broken mind of none other than Harry Potter. He didn’t expect to be so interested in the case, but when he leaves his initial assessment with far more questions than answers, he can’t help but give himself to it completely.
Little did he know that this case would lead him to a whole world of: FUCK. THAT.
But… who is he to say no to The Minister for Magic?

Summary
Harry Potter is exhausted, haunted by the media, and somehow more socially anxious than ever. The war never came, but he’s still stuck in the middle of everything—The Chosen One, The Liar, The Symbol. He’s tired of being looked at. Tired of being looked through.
When eighth year begins, he flees to the Room of Requirement to escape it all. It’s quiet there. Safe. Until it isn’t—until Draco Malfoy shows up. They agree to ignore each other, which goes about as well as you’d expect.
Includes: magical shenanigans, a snake named Thistle, thestral babies, inappropriate uses of Parseltongue, cozy chaos, smutty smut and angsty angst, and two idiots falling in love.

"WhereamI?"
His words are slurred. He can't remember what was the last thing he was doing. How come he's staring face to face with an unfamiliar kid?
"In the hallway."
"Yeah, which building though?"
The kid tells him the name and his head feels like it’s splitting as memories come back. This is the house where Tim used to live. Damn.

Jason ends up in wrong time. Meeting the 8 year old Tim and taking care of him is not what he's supposed to do in a situation like this. But that's what happens.Shelves: DC Comics

During the battle of the Department of Mysteries, Voldemort realises that he unintentionally made Harry Potter a Horcrux all those years ago.
One year later, he kidnaps the Boy Who Lived and bends him to his will. Unfortunately, unease amongst the witches and wizards of Britain, forces him to rethink his strategy of sequestering away the Saviour. Voldemort may not be able to kill him, but he may be useful for something. As a result, Harry Potter becomes Draco Malfoy's responsibility—becomes his to do with as he pleases.
Only, Harry never was one to give up.

The Hunter of Hunters (Twice And For All) Anthology by novasillies
Fandoms: Teen Wolf (TV)
16 Oct 2025
Summary
Anthology containing:
Twice And For All
“Derek,” he said despite himself. The werewolf’s eyes sharpened. Scott gave him a distressed look.
“Do I know you?” He asked tensely, and Stiles grinned in return.
“Oh, no,” he answered, “Not yet.”
-
In which a well-timed conflict between the magic of the Ghost Riders and Stiles' spark sends him back to the day Scott got bitten. Stiles pointedly changes nothing and thus begins the most batshit insane story of self-discovery possible. Some unkempt promises and unearthed secrets wouldn't hurt, either. And don't forget the unbridled silliness. Obvi.
Part 2 is now out!!!
(editing in progress (AGAIN.))
Contingency Plans
Peter Hale had not always been the cynical, power-hungry killer that the world would come to know him as. Claudia Stilinski knew that. She knew that because Claudia Gajos has known Peter Hale since before she knew what knowing was.
-
Or, the wild tale Peter spun for Stiles at the lake house in its entirety. With a few parts he may have left out, and more than a few parts he never knew happened.
Prequel to Twice And For All. Can be read as a stand-alone if ur feeling frisky. Ideally read between Third Time's The Charm chapters 1&2!!
Third Time's The Charm
"You're a person people are better off without."
Theo's words struck hard and deep. The claws of them dug in and twisted; mangled him relentlessly. It wasn’t fair. It wasn’t true.
Of course, it was.
"That's not on me."
-
Stiles goes back in time again to stop the Hale House fire. It rings true for the rest of his life that he seems to break more than he fixes.
Updates! Every! Thursday! Except for when it doesn’t

A Strange Kind of Love by BarmaDumet
Fandoms: Star Wars - All Media Types, Star Wars Legends: Jedi Quest Series - Jude Watson, Star Wars Legends: Last of The Jedi Series - Jude Watson, Star Wars Prequel Trilogy
26 Sep 2025
Summary
Jude Watson’s The Last of the Jedi book series picks up about a year after the events of ROTS. This fic revolves around a potential plot twist from TLOTJ Book 8:
What if Vader had succeeded in his plan to have his memories of Padmé erased, but in the process loses much more of his memory than bargained for?
You won't have to have read TLOTJ to read this fic. I've done my very best to recap any info from those books I felt essential to the story.
*
Ferus encounters a memory-wiped Darth Vader, who with no recollection of being Vader, is nothing more than a frightened and badly wounded Anakin Skywalker. Against his better judgment, Ferus begins nursing Anakin back to health, with the intent of returning him to his Master, Obi-Wan, all while wrestling with the harsh reality of who Anakin had been - an evil, masked Sith who had just recently murdered his husband.

House Of Infinity by Midnight_Neptune
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, Marvel Cinematic Universe
22 Sep 2025
Summary
The Batfamily was never meant to be ordinary.
Not anymore.When six Infinity Stones grew tired of being wielded by the greedy, the power-hungry, the gods who played at justice and war—they chose differently. They chose mortals born in blood, raised in shadows, shaped by grief.
They chose the Batfamily.
Now, whispers of impossible strength echo from Gotham. Time moves strangely. The air crackles. Ghosts walk. And those who once wore masks now carry something far heavier.
Because the storm is coming.
And this time, the world’s last defense isn’t the League.It’s them.

Damian Wayne's Complete and Absolute Guide to Starting Over by Anonymous
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types
18 Aug 2025
Summary
To save the world from utter destruction, a person's memory was required. Not their memories, but everyone else's memories of them. They would be fundamentally erased from existence. Like they were never even there at all.
The moment Superman told them that, his face sunken and his eyes hollow, Damian knew it had to be him.
Or:
Damian Wayne is forgotten by the entire world. "Starting over" is more painful then he imagined.

Chosen: From The Ashes by Lea_Noah
Fandoms: Star Wars - All Media Types, Star Wars Prequel Trilogy
10 Sep 2024
Summary
Palpatine overestimates the hold of the darkness over Anakin (which might have or not faltered during the battle on Mustafar) and thus makes the mistake of sentencing him on overfeeling the (intentionally) augmented and excruciating pain during the inhuman long surgery. Sidious too blind and power hungered, insists it continues, as more pain will make his apprentice more force-powerful and a perfect slave of rage and darkness. Only, the pain was far greater than anything that could matter and Anakin, for yes, he was still Anakin Skywalker at that point, was seeking to end it. End it all. He calls his death with Obi-Wan’s name and he finds a way to reach for it, for him.
Across the stars and galaxy, across the time and their dead bond, Anakin meets Obi-Wan and his end... or is it his beginning?[ aka : Time Travel AU where Anakin wants Obi-Wan to finish his job and tries to (bond) call him, only to make a split in force and time, and to wake up as Ani on the Tatooine, facing a young Obi-Wan instead and just. kriffing. breathing. ]
