Summary
Severus is barely hanging on. He has no friends, honour or reputation left, and the only ones that will associate with him are death eater wannabes.
When he comes home for summer after his fifth year at Hogwarts, he finds that his mother is dead and his father is missing. To top it all of, some two-hundred-year old contract between the Princes and the Blacks states that Severus has to marry Sirius Black before his 19th birthday.
He just cannot get a break, can he?

Summary
The Pauper becomes the Prince; the Prince becomes the Master.
or: Severus is done with wizards for good. Following the death of his father shortly after his graduation, he packs his bags and sets off for London, striving to become something his father (along with every wizard from his past) would have hated. Through a series of rather unexpected events (a few chance encounters and several regrettable fashion choices), he becomes a muggle rockstar. He is the Punk Prince, lead of a rising post-punk rock band riding the new wave of the 80s. The band explodes into the British music scene, attracting fans, friends, and enemies- including those from his past.
After a Death Eater attack at one of his performances, Severus is dragged back into the world he tried so hard to leave behind. Soon Severus is caught between a prophecy, the world he's come to love, and one that refuses to forget him. He must make a choice: muggle or wizard, coward or hero, prince or master.- Language:

Summary
Severus knew better than anyone how cruel fate could be. He had seen his father’s name branded on his mother’s arm and how that had been more of a curse than anything else. And he saw it again now as a thread of ink began to crawl across his arm.
As the name formed, he saw in silent horror one of his worst nightmares being fulfilled. Fate was nothing but merciless. So cruel and infamous that it had to unite him with the person he hated most in the world.
`James Potter`
(or Severus hates James, James hates Severus but they are soul mates. Severus is willing to ignore that mark but James, who grew up with the idea of a perfect life with his soul mate, won't let it go.)

Summary
“He found himself wondering if anyone would notice before the spell was up. It seemed unlikely; there were often stretches where contact was limited between him and his family. Normally, it was not born from necessity but rather strife. And perhaps strife would bleed from this.
He hoped not.”
When a confrontation with a powerful magic user goes awry, Damian is cursed, robbing him of his voice. Or, communicate without a fresh bruise appearing, that is.
What begins as an inconvenience quickly spirals into something far worse, as he finds himself struggling with the mounting realization: no one has noticed. As his silence deepens, so do the rifts with his family. He’s not helped by the many more sinister theories the people around him assume because of his new temperament.
One thing is certain: he really, really hates magic.

Summary
Gotham was literally cursed but no one believed Bruce. He took it upon himself to fix it and after decades of searching, that solution came to him in the form of a little blue vial. Bruce was to take the curse within himself to temper it into something manageable.
He thinks the others would call him stupid and stop him if they knew about this, but (un)fortunately for Bruce, his family hasn't spoken to him for forever. There was no one here to stop him.
He downed the liquid and woke up as his nine-year-old self.
Ch3 Excerpt:
“Mother, do you remember those funny clouds above people’s heads I told you about? Well, I’m doing something about them but the process is very lonely. Or not. I think it’s just me. I’m the problem. I can’t seem to get people to like me enough to stay. I know–-… I’m aware that it’s due to my own shortcomings but sometimes, it feels like even the worst monsters have people that love them and yet I have no one.”
Bruce let out a humourless chuckle and rested his forehead on his knees.
“I just wish there was someone that cared about me.”
