Summary
When Petunia Dursley refused to take Harry in she forfeited his birthright protection, so Dumbledore took the baby to the safest place he knew: Hogwarts.
The applicable staff (mostly just… not Snape) took Harry in on a rotating schedule as he grew from baby to toddler to child. They traded extra credit for babysitting among the older students, and Harry grew up knowing a few dozen different laps that were safe and warm to nap in.
This was a Harry who grew up among books, among old transient walls and learned professors. They gave Binns night duty sometimes, and let him talk young Harry to sleep. This was a Harry whose world changed, on principle, daily. The stairs moved. The walls became doors. You had to keep your eyes open–you had to pay attention. So he did.
He grew up in a school. Knowledge was power, but knowledge was also joy. This was his sanctuary. There was magic in his world from birth.

Summary
Lily remembered her sister, how there had been a time she was curious and delighted about magic, before it slowly sank in that she could look and not touch.
The last thing Petunia had said to Lily before she died was a chilly goodbye, ending a holiday dinner where they'd had a shrieking row in the entryway. Petunia had said 'freak' and Lily had hissed 'better than this, better than this being my whole fucking world, Tune, do you even see yourself, are you happy--'
And now here was Dudley Vernon Dursley fussing himself to sleep as Lily walked the halls of the Godric's Hollow house. His tiny soft hands with their tiny soft fingernails curled under her chin, the same way Harry's always had.
She passed James, who was gently bouncing his way up the hall the opposite way. "I think he's asleep," James mouthed over Harry's tousled head. His hair was the same mess, his head bent down as he peered at his sleeping son.
Lily stopped where she stood, her nephew heavy on her chest, her husband smiling, her sister buried. "James," she said. "How are we going to do this?"

Summary
Maybe if she were unemployed and back at Point Place she would have found it in herself to obsess over Steven Hyde, be endlessly consumed by him, and let that failed fantasy fill her with dread. Maybe that’s not true, maybe Jackie Burkhart has always found some delusional self-important front to stow all the pain behind and power through thinking all her plans would manifest if she imagined them glittery and glamorous enough.
But it doesn’t matter. In Chicago she doesn’t even have the time to know what part of her mind is real and what part’s been playing tricks on her. In Chicago, she’s been left with no choice. In Chicago, Jackie can only choose the city.

Summary
Lily looked at him disbelievingly. “You’re dating a terrorist.”
“He’s not a terrorist,” James said, somehow offended. “He just—has a reputation.”
“Yes, a reputation for terrorism,” Lily said, like James was a bit slow.
James crossed his arms, visibly bristling. “He’s actually very principled.”
“So is every fascist. That’s kind of the problem.”
—
Or, Lily Evans judges James for his poor taste in men, then goes on to make significantly worse decisions.
Featuring: academic burnout, moral spirals, inconvenient attraction, and the deeply ironic process of falling in love with someone you’d confidently list as a reason the world’s going to hell.
She’s not proud of it. But he is very pretty.
