    Summary

    “What do you want me to do?” Remus says, tiredly. All he wants is to curl up on his bed. Smoke a pack of cigarettes. Get drunk. He can’t stop looking at Harry.

    “Remus...” Dumbledore is gentle. Remus hates when he has that tone. Hates that he knows it will hurt. “There is no one else left.”

    A bitter laugh escapes him. “So you’ll curse the poor thing with a werewolf for a guardian?”

    Summary

    Before his third year of Hogwarts has even begun, Harry faces three whole weeks of unsupervised time in Diagon Alley. In that time he takes a trip to Gringotts - and that changes everything.

    Burdened with the knowledge that Dumbledore has been blocking his family magic, and manipulating far more than he ever thought possible, Harry doesn't know who he can trust; but he knows he can't keep going that way. There's a whole world of lore and politics and history to catch up on, and the more he learns, the more Harry realises his true place in the world, and how much is being kept hidden from him. All the while, Dumbledore's twinkling eyes are constantly watching, and Harry can't let on how much he knows.

    With help from unexpected places, Harry starts on a journey to end the war, and reshape the wizarding world. With how much he looks like James Potter, people have forgotten one important thing about him - he is Lily Evans' son, and she was one hell of a witch.

    Summary

    “Well I was wondering-” Trent begins - only that, of course, is when the sky all but cracks open, and rain starts absolutely pouring down.

    Ted’s soaked in moments, water dripping down the back of his neck, and he shivers even while he’s still processing the shock.

    “Shit,” Trent says out loud, ducking his head and glaring up at the clouds. “Can I give you a lift?” he calls out over the sounds of the rain hitting the pavement.

    ---

    Ted and Trent get caught in the rain, and Ted finally takes him up on his offer of a ride home. Maybe this will finally give them a chance to talk - or maybe they could also stand to do a little less talking, too.

    Summary

    In another life, perhaps, Spock would have found himself with M’Benga. In the same way that another him would have loved only Nyota and worshipped her as she deserved. Instead, Spock looks on this world where McCoy is brushing hair away from Kirk’s forehead and grumbles, “Let the door shut. You’re letting in the cold.”

    Set in the two weeks of Kirk's coma during STXII, Spock and McCoy come to terms with nearly losing their captain.
