Summary
As far as Troye is concerned, love isn't important. He has friends, fame, family... Everything he needs to be happy. Plus he isn't sure he's ready to commit to anyone just yet, not after his last relationship.
As far as Connor is concerned, there's nothing missing from his life. So why does he feel so sad? Could it be the nagging thought that everyone has one special person, while he has no one? And then there's Troye...
In a perfect world, the two boys would figure out their feelings and live happily ever after. But this world is far from perfect, and fate seems to be against them...

Summary
In 1978, Sirius Black almost becomes an Auror. Turns out even he can’t fake his way through the mental health assessment.
So what. He has better things to do: Remus Lupin is one. The war is another. He spends weeks at a time undercover for the Order while Polyjuiced to the gills. It’s probably his new favourite thing.
Little does Sirius know that running from himself will send him on a collision course with his ephemeral brother, but life is funny that way.

Summary
That was the final drop, Sirius has heard it said when describing monumental events in one’s life. Does it apply here? It was, after all, a drop that took everything he thought he knew, everything he saw as self-evident and fed it to a hurricane of chaos and doubt. A little drop of red, blooming bellow Reg’s collarbone, on the eve of his glorious escape from House Black. And so—Everything changes.
Or
Two Black children adventuring around the world.

Summary
Tim is five years old when he drowns in his parents' pool. He dies quietly, waiting for parents who love him, but will never be there, to realise that something is wrong. They never show up, and he sinks into oblivion.
When he wakes up and claws his way out of the water, the sun has set, and the lights of his house are on. He is cold and wet and his lungs burn.
But most of all, Tim is alone.
(If you die and no-one is there to see it, were you ever alive in the first place?)

((Banshee In A Well
by bugbee, liverobinreaction (bugbee)
Batman Comics, Gen))i don’t even go here but i was hooked from the summary until the end. especially the imagery of a small child dying over and over, completely alone, drowning for real and then in fear and loneliness and his suppressed grief for himself. and i kept getting stabbed with lines like:
“Because his deaths don’t matter. They don’t.
They don’t.
He doesn’t matter, bubbles up softly in his head, gentle and quiet and unnoticed like a drowning child.”

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
The Patronus charm requires a happy memory. Harry Potter doesn't have many, and the Dementors get Sirius, after all.
But the story is far from over.

((How to be happy
by TheDivineComedian
Harry Potter, Gen/None))this is heavy and grief-stricken all the way through and the ending is a gut punch that made me sob and it’s also so beautiful
