Ghosts of the Past, Heralds of the Future by Kastaborous

Summary
In a near silent whisper, Hound raises a hand and breathes, “Kai.”
Yet, the scene below remains. Four figures, unsettlingly familiar even under the Sharingan eye. There isn’t a single imperfection in the genjutsu. Even the chakra signatures are frighteningly accurate. For a second, Hound recalls the seal’s sigil for “time,” but casts the thought aside as soon as it forms.
No. It’s convenient, too convenient. What better way to lower his guard then to appear wearing the guise of those he’d loved?
(Of ghosts he’d killed.)…
Or, Team Minato meets ANBU Kakashi. A story of grief, growth, and acceptance.

Summary
His brother looked the exact same the day he set out to the mission he never returned from, but a far cry from the battered and rigid corpse their father cradled in his arms. He was dead, but looked more alive than the last time Kaeya saw him, resting in a coffin filled to the brim with flowers and his claymore.
“Diluc,” Kaeya croaked, only noticing how rough his own voice sounded to his ears.
Only those who are living are capable of mourning, but perhaps there are some exceptions to that rule.

Summary
Sirius Orion Black was hardly the only runaway child that Fleamont and Euphemia Potter fostered. In fact, by the time Sirius gets there the summer after fifth year, James has called at least ten kids his foster siblings — including, to Sirius’s complete shock, James’s foster brother of the past year, Severus Snape. Snape’s fifth year had been nearly as bad as Sirius’s summer, and now that they’re stuck together, are they going to be able to find common ground and move past five years of antagonism?

The Unwanted Boy From Spinner's End by SevSnapelivesforever
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
09 Oct 2022
Tags
Summary
Severus Snape’s existence is a mistake. His mother hints at it often enough with her regretful, drawn-out sighs, while his father prefers to get the message across with a good strapping and a lecture on his worthlessness. Needless to say, the twelve-year-old is not particularly inclined to trust adults, no matter how concerned or caring they claim to be.
His life changes abruptly, however, one late evening in September when an illicit brewing session results in a forced trip to the Hogwarts infirmary. Not only is the truth about Severus' home life discovered, but an investigation reveals that shortly prior to his mother’s unexpected death, a single piece of parchment was deposited into her Gringotts vault—a Last Will and Testament in which Eileen Snape née Prince grants guardianship of her son to none other than Albus Dumbledore himself.

Summary
“And I never said anything like that! I-” Touma choked on his spit but continued on, lying so obviously that Shouta almost felt sorry for him. “I made a few jokes but I never threatened him! You have no proof!”
Kaminari looked back at him, before tilting his head slowly.
“It’d be bad for you if I did, wouldn’t it?” And there was just something, something about the way he said it, that hint of danger and anger that had multiple people snapping their heads to look at him, his son included.
Kaminari doesn't take well to threats to his boyfriend. Class A, along with a quirkest Gen Ed student, come to learn this.

Summary
He always wondered what it would have been like if he attended Aoba Johsai instead of moving to Tokyo.
But, he supposes it's worked out. And since they're in Miyagi for a practice match, he thought it'd be nice to invite his grandparents, since they never see his games now.
If only he'd known that meant his grandmother would be about ready to adopt his Captain by the end of it, along with the rest of his team. And, why, exactly, we're they all having a sleepover?

Regulus Black comes out of the black lake quite mad, very much his mother’s son.
Hogwarts will keep him safe, says Dumbledore, who offers him the post of Charms professor.
But Regulus hasn't stopped drowning (lungs saturated with water, mind torn apart) and the face of Harry Potter, who looks too much like James, makes him realize the war is never over.

Summary
Shigeru looks at the stars out there, way too familiar for a crook of unexplored space. The constellations he named while he was bored glare back at him with their cruel silence, offering no consolation to his impending situation.
A hand on the glass, fingers gliding down the surface willing to tear into it but unable to do so – futile, like everything he tried ever since he took over the role of captain from Oikawa.
“Do you ever feel lonely, Kyoutani?” the words slip from his tongue, wistful.
“Define lonely,” the AI replies.In which Yahaba Shigeru takes over the role of captain from Oikawa Tooru and realizes that filling Oikawa's shoes is hard. But in SPACE.
