Summary
No matter what, there was always something missing.
Something that could be excused as a mistake or accident. That was the trick to finding what was hidden. The thin veil of ordinary was peeled back with ease if you could only take time to look closer.

Or, in an au where the wizarding world went to greater lengths to conceal the secret of magic, there’s still traces left behind.

Summary
“So,” Mom says one weekend afternoon as she and Robin stare down the Sunday Times crossword, huddled together on the porch swing, “you and Steve Harrington sure have been living in each other’s pockets lately.” She puts down the pen and gives Robin a carefully-probing smile disguised as a teasing one. “Anything you wanna tell me?”
Yeah; I’m gay, Robin thinks. Her throat constricts painfully. “I—you’d know if I were dating someone,” she says instead.

Summary
The officer who came to explain the terms of the probation had a sad smile on his face the whole way through. He seemed like he was trying to be sympathetic at first, telling them about the mandatory school transfer and the probation terms, but when he got to the part about “removing Akira-kun from bad influences,” Chou couldn’t see the smile as anything less than sadistic.
“I know you’re facing a lot of pain right now, Kurusu-san,” the officer had said. “But perhaps better parenting would have helped Akira-kun know that he shouldn’t assault people in the street.”
---
OR, Takeshi and Chou Kurusu aren't bad people. They never stopped loving their son, not for a single second.

Summary
When she opened her eyes, Sumire didn’t stand in her mirror. No, instead there stood the heaped ruins of the patchwork quilt she so desperately wove of the people she loved, their features snipped from a magazine and plastered over her like a second skin: Kasumi’s hair, Joker’s gloves, Kasumi’s confidence, Joker’s rebellion, their beauty stitched together into the Frankenstein’s monster now staring back at her.
The creature once known as Sumire.
