a faint tightening of the chest by orolin for rosesneverwither

Summary
What people don’t realise—largely because he’s devoted an impressive amount of effort to pretending it never happens—is that Cormac occasionally experiences… sensations. Strange little twinges. A faint tightening in his chest when he thinks he might have pushed a flirty quip a shade too far. A peculiar, prickling itch under his skin when someone expects something of him. A low, uncomfortable swoop in his stomach when he imagines letting someone down.
He dismisses them, of course. Probably just the strain from maintaining such magnificent muscle definition, or perhaps an unfortunate allergic reaction to his latest paramour’s perfume. Nothing serious.

Summary
Harry hadn’t expected it, but coming out shortly after the war has its advantages. She has no idea whether people are treating her differently because she’s a girl now, or because they witnessed her kill a maniacal wizarding fascist.
She also hadn't expected that the only person who might understand it all is none other than Draco Malfoy.
Or: Harry is a transwoman, and Draco is a transman, but they're both gay, so nothing will ever happen between them. Right?- Language:

Summary
Harry doesn’t see the pattern until it’s too late, of course. Each precise movement planned from the very moment of his birth, moments threading together to make the symphony that now plays—a funeral procession.
Every despicable action, every disingenuous word, every nuanced gesture…every venomous insult hissed between clenched teeth accompanied by clenched fists was a fateful nudge to position him just where he needed to be for this very instant to pass, seen in a seer’s crystal orb years ago.
“You’ve lied to me,” the boy breathes, watching Severus with half-lidded eyes.

Summary
Harry Potter never shows up at Hogwarts. The papers are saying that he's dead, which is probably true, given the muggles that were supposed to keep him claim they have never known a Harry Potter. Just like that, the Light falls into shambles, turning their wands against each other because of their own incompetence to keep their Savior safe.
Nineteen years later, a witch goes to Harmony Home orphanage to speak with the priest responsible for the orphanage and the magical education of one of the children. The priest shows up to talk to her, the child glued against his leg, and her eyes land on that legendary lightning bolt scar, on those Avada green eyes, and she recognizes him immediately.
