Summary
“They always were a little nuts over money. Thinking that being wealthy makes you respectable,” Harry says.
”They haven't changed,” Dudley snorts.
”So, honestly, I really just want to tell your mum to go to hell, no offense.”
“None taken.”
”But, I want to know what’s in that safe deposit box. I have so little of my parents it would be worth playing their games to get access to it. And I think I could. You know, my fiancée is wealthy… very wealthy. They’re more loaded than the GDP of several European countries.”
Dudley’s eyes widen. ”Well, that might just equal respectability in my parents’ eyes. What are you thinking?”
”Maybe inviting them to the Manor.”
***
Dudley Dursley is a changed man. Recognizing the abuse his cousin faced in their home growing up, he became a teacher to ensure that something similar wouldn’t happen to other children. Discovering that his mum is withholding property from Harry, he has to find a way to set things right. Now, with an invitation for the family to a remote manor to meet Harry and his mysterious fiancée, will he be able to negotiate a truce and show his parents just how wrong they were? A story about redemption and the family you choose.- Language:

Summary
Harry did not know this and would not know this until Mrs. Granger mentioned it casually over a Christmas dinner years and years later-- but she and Mr. Granger reported the Dursleys for child abuse and neglect, over and over.
The reports got lost-- minds scrubbed down, papers vanished-- but they kept calling in reports. They considered kidnapping. They couldn't imagine why the wizarding world might want to keep their chosen one somewhere so toxic, why they might want to keep this underfed child and his messy hair with those people.
"My mother left me a blood protection spell," said Harry, whose scar had not ached in years. He poked at his mashed potatoes under the focused attention of Mrs. Granger's stern little forehead wrinkle. "I had to live with family, blood family."
"Then they should have made them treat you right," Mrs. Granger said, as though it was that simple.
Mr. Granger gave Harry another helping of peas.

Summary
Albus Dumbledore rose to his feet, smiling at them in that way of his, like he knew something you didn't and he was proud of you for it. "Friends," he began.
The door thudded open and the Marauders burst in, late and pink-cheeked with cold. The headmaster smiled at them, too, and Sirius gave a cheery little salute back.
Severus sunk lower in his chair, staring witheringly over his butterbeer. "You told Potter about it, too?"
"He might as well put all that energy to good use," said Lily. "And, to be accurate, I told Remus."
"But Potter, really?" said Severus.
"He and Black cooked up a jinx that gives you a boil every time you say a slur to a Muggleborn," said Lily. "It was either invite them to Alice's war club or bake them cookies, and I know where my skills lie."
Severus sniffed. "Don't come crying to me if he tugs your pigtails."
"Come crying to me if he pulls yours, and I'll deck him," said Lily.
(Slight AU in which Severus apologizes, tries harder, and stays friends with Lily)

Summary
What if, when Petunia Dursley found a little boy on her front doorstep, she took him in? Not into the cupboard under the stairs, not into a twisted childhood of tarnished worth and neglect—what if she took him in?
Petunia was jealous, selfish and vicious. We will not pretend she wasn’t. She looked at that boy on her doorstep and thought about her Dudders, barely a month older than this boy. She looked at his eyes and her stomach turned over and over. (Severus Snape saved Harry’s life for his eyes. Let’s have Petunia save it despite them).
Let’s tell a story where Petunia Dursley found a baby boy on her doorstep and hated his eyes—she hated them. She took him in and fed him and changed him and got him his shots, and she hated his eyes up until the day she looked at the boy and saw her nephew, not her sister’s shadow. When Harry was two and Vernon Dursley bought Dudley a toy car and Harry a fast food meal with a toy with parts he could choke on Petunia packed her things and got a divorce.

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
A Wen!Wuxian story, only it's his father who was a Wen not his mother. There was a kidnapping plot apparently. Weirdly, it makes too much sense even considering canon.
Join us Wen Wuxian navigates life as the Wen sect heir, bonds with his grandfather and uncle with questionable morals, bullies Wen Chao for being Wen Chao, teases Lan Zhan into marrying into his sect, and tries to swear brotherhood with the Jiang siblings without pissing off his grandfather into subjugating the entire cultivation world. All in a day's work, really.

Summary
"So, like Jet had said: it’s all Smellerbee’s idea. And what exactly had it consisted of? Easy. “Hit him where it hurts.” (No, not killing the Firelord, even Jet is aware of how completely insane that sounds.) No, what the Dragon of the West – Iroh, Jet now knows – loves, is tea.
No, Jet, Smellerbee and Longshot do not burn down his tea house. That would simply cause a setback; he’s rich, he can easily rebuild.
No, what they do is much, much better.(...)
Jet is now the proprietor of a very popular tea house. As far as plans go… this might just be his most successful one to date."

Post-Boiling Rock, Jet Survived AU.
"You'll be fine, Jet," she repeats between gritted teeth, "because I have plans to break your stupid skull myself for dying and then not and then saving my dad at the expense of --"
"Uh. Katara? Water temperature's dropping."
"So what!" she barks out at the man Jet is lying against, and oh, that's right. There's some guy behind him, someone he knows, and it's not Sokka. Not Aang either, unless the kid's balls have dropped all the way down to his knees in the last -- huh. How many months has it been, anyway, since lake Laogai? Surely not enough for Aang to be hit that hard by the puberty stick.

“What’s your star sign?” Harry asks him one day.
“Gemini.” Draco replies.
“Hmm,” says Harry, shuffling through some of the papers he’s been looking at. “Says here that the leo and the gemini relationship can sometimes be hard work.”
“Didn’t need to tell me that.” Draco grumbles.

“Hanguang-jun,” Wei Wuxian repeats. His heart clenches. He wants—but he’d really meant to have this nightmare stuff down before they met again, so he wouldn’t find himself relying on Lan Wangji’s nearness. He’s not supposed to go back yet. But he’s so tired, and his will crumbles. “Yeah,” he says. “All right. Take me back to Gusu with you.”

Summary
He feels encompassing when Eddie says that, he feels like there's no end to him. All that affection in Eddie's voice and the knowing, knowing he wants to be with Venom, wants to belong to Venom.
Eddie calls Venom by a pet name, and Venom likes it. Maybe a little too much.
