Summary
Ever since she’d been small, Hermione’s reward for good marks had been a rampage through a bookshop, so the day she tore open her O.W.L.s results and triumphantly brandished the eleven Outstandings, her beaming mother said, “We’ll go to Foyles tomorrow,” without any discussion required.

The Related Worlds of Neville Longbottom by backinyourbox
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling, The Chronicles of Chrestomanci - Diana Wynne Jones
04 Nov 2020
Tags
Summary
Somehow, somewhere, a Neville-shaped hole has been ripped through reality. Each of the Neville Longbottoms from the related worlds are being pulled through to the same place. For some it's a curse, for Number Five, it's a blessing. But they can't all stay in the same world forever, and Number Five might be the only one who can fix the gap before the paradox causes the entire world series to collapse - if he can do it without being dragged back into his real life nightmares. (note: while technically a Chrestomanci crossover, you don't need to be familiar with the Chrestomanci universe to read this story)

Summary
The bath takes care of the sweat. Takes care of the burnt bits of skin and fat that still cling to his palm. Zuko scrubs his body until it’s raw, blushing red; he dunks his head under the hot water and stays there, staring up at the dark, vaulted ceiling of the washroom until his lungs run out of breath to use.
The oil of honeysuckle and opium and cinnamon, sweet and sharp and earthy, does not wash the stench of scorched flesh out of his nose.Zuko falls asleep on the evening of his official coronation, when he’s twenty-one-years old and has finally reached his majority. Zuko wakes on the morning of the Agni Kai with his father, eight years earlier.
This is annoying for several reasons, like the fact that the War is still ongoing, that he has zero friends, and that Ozai is not in jail.
It’s time to scheme.Series

Summary
“This… this would qualify as a mental breakdown, right?” Triton asked, frowning over his shoulder to where Percy was still fuming in the corner. The lady at the counter curiously glanced over before lifting a questioning brow. “My brother – half-brother, technically, I have much better breeding – decided to run away from home to where our father can’t reach him and now he won’t leave. And now I can’t leave unless he leaves,” Triton continued. Percy opened his mouth to object that wasn’t what happened at all, but the tyrant only waved a hand to silence him. “He’s seen war or whatever, so if you could maybe just drug him then I’ll throw him into a suitcase and we can be out of here by the Summer Solstice!”
Silence. Finally, the woman cleared her throat and turned to Percy.
“I’m guessing he’s the one you want checked into the mental hospital?” She asked. Triton gasped as Percy punched the air in victory.
“Aha!”

Getting in trouble works a little differently when your parent is an all-powerful god. Sometimes you have to escape to the land beyond gods and get your immortal brother turned human to drag you back so you can be exploded a million pieces. You know, normal teenage stuff.

Grease & Lightning by Mothboss for SerenaEW, nocturn, Renee561
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
27 Feb 2024
Tags
Summary
The year was 1988, and on one quiet Sunday morning in the early days of a blisteringly hot July, the Dursleys departed from Number Four Privet Drive. This, by itself, was of little consequence. They habitually went to church most Sunday mornings. Except... this time they simply didn't return.
SS&HP Mentor/Friend/Severitus-style fic.
This story is complete in four chapters which will be posted weekly. The fic is the first in the Storm Surge series. The sequel is now being posted and is called Acid Reigns.
Written as a gift for my discord friend Serena: congratulations on sitting your medical exams! (But also, intended as a gift for Nocturn and Renee, who are ever in my corner cheering me on).

Summary
When Adelia's prior engagement to a fellow noble fell through, she suddenly found herself engaged to a monster in human skin. Lord Emmertal was known for having been married trice already, each wife not surviving his home and just as Adelia thought she, too, would have to walk to her death dressed in white, someone else unexpectedly demanded her hand.
Lord Rowan Morrow, one of the warlords of the Wilds, an untamed, harsh land filled with worshippers of the old gods and monsters, a man with a bloody reputation and full of secrets. But as the closest friend of the king, he was not denied his request and so she found herself handed off to him instead.
Time would only tell if he was a better choice than Lord Emmertal.

Sometimes, for entirely understandable reasons, you end up under the impression that your great-aunt's secret lover may or may not be a vampire. Sometimes, it turns out that the universe is a whole lot stranger than that. All's well that end's well, though. Or close enough, anyway.

Summary
“What the fuck did I just fix?” Ikkaku breathes out. She’s keeping one hand firmly on Law’s shoulder, out of sheer instinct, but the other is creeping towards her boilersuit’s hidden pocket and the knife tucked inside.
“As I said, my voicebox! Oh, it’s going to be so delightful to hold a proper conversation again, and- AHA! SHACHI!” Somewhere else in the ship, echoing down the metal corridors, they hear the young man’s startled shriek, presumably as the- Tang? Ghost of the Tang? Talks directly to him. “Yes you, stop screaming, it’s only me- stop leaving your dirty clothes lying about! Don’t you know how much bacteria can generate from just a single smelly sock? Captain is quite particular about such things, as you good and well know-!”
“...Ikkaku,” Law mutters, while the voice abruptly drops in volume a second time - they can still hear the echo of it, elsewhere, presumably continuing to fuss at Shachi, but it’s no longer talking in two places at once. “Our ship talks.”

Summary
When he finally gets the door open, there's a man standing in the middle of his room. Red Hood. He looks incongruous in Peter’s space, with his sturdy combat boots brushing against a dirty t-shirt that got left on the floor last night.
“Hey, that was pretty fast,” he says brightly. “I’d love to see how fast you can go when you aren’t taking detours to lose a tail first.”
OR
That one where Peter ends up in Gotham after the events of NWH and is determined to stay on his own so that nobody can get hurt, but the Bats refuse to get the memo.
