    Summary

    He felt Ginny’s fingers brushing away tears from his face before he had ever realized he was crying. Felt her hands in his hair, her voice in his ear. Her love healing places within him that a hurt little boy had made home. She could love him too, Harry thought. He could let her love him, too.

    A canon-compliant insight into the abuse and neglect Harry Potter experienced as a child to the tune of "The Light's Are On But Nobody's Home", by Tom Rosenthal. Inspired by the most soul-crushing Tiktok trend on my FYP right now.

    Summary

    For a moment, Leon’s eyes moved to her abdomen, submerged in thoughts he did not share. Impulsive as he’d always been, Leon followed the beat of his heart and reached out to lift the thin fabric of her tank top, just enough to reveal the old scar she carried there. He touched it with his fingers, his mind astray in a destroyed city and a girl who told him that she fell in love with him. Any man in his position… any man with a fucking functional brain would stay away from women like her, would have enough of her lies and her sweet tongue that poisoned his wildest dreams worse than any virus out there. He was a fool.

    But he loved her.

    That much was true. He knew it now.

    Or: Leon and Ada figuring out their feelings throughout the years, realizing this is more than just a maddening obsession. He fell first, she fell harder.

    Summary

    “I must not have heard you correctly, Headmaster,” Severus said flatly.

    “You did, my boy. This isn’t only a favour to me, you understand.”

    “But there must be trust," Severus insisted. "A bond… or some sort of relationship between mentor and pupil for Occlumency to be taught correctly! The only bond the brat and I share is one of mutual loathing.”

    “Now, Severus, you are an adult and a Hogwarts professor. Surely, you can find a way to mend broken bridges.”

    Broken bridges? Broken bridges? There had never been a "bridge" to begin with! Not with Potter, the carbon copy of his school bully, who spoke, acted, believed himself so superior to anyone else he might as well be the second coming of his father. There had always only been damp planks slogging down a river which separated them on two opposite banks. No bridge to speak of.
    OR
    Summer of Fifth Year. Dumbledore decides Harry should begin Occlumency immediately. Harry and Snape start seeing a lot of each other. Neither is thrilled, especially when they begrudgingly realise that maybe, possibly, perhaps, they might have more in common than they thought.

    Summary

    "Sveta," he says, before she can greet him. "I think I'm about to do something very stupid."

    "You're always doing something stupid," she laughs, her voice tinny over the speakerphone. "What is it this time?"

    "I am in a staring contest with a bottle of pills," Ilya says. "And I think the pills might win."

    -

    Or: An alternate take on Ilya's mental health after moving to Ottawa, featuring the reality of long distance relationships, Ilya learning to captain a new team, and a series of game tapes made by Ilya's dead father.
