    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

    With a cat’s-eye blink, the goblin king turns to face her.

    “If what was said was never meant, my goblins would have no claim. As it is,” he waves a hand, “what’s said is said.”

    Brienne's sister has wished her own son away, so now Brienne will run the labyrinth to save him.

    Summary

    "So?” Brienne said mildly in the kitchen one morning. “Is it official with this guy?”

    Renly pretended not to hear, glancing down at the newspaper on the table and digging his spoon into his cheerios.

    Brienne cleared her throat, evidently about to ask again.

    Renly sighed. “No, it's not. What makes you think that it is?”

    Jaime raised an eyebrow. “Of course, because it's completely irrational to assume that you might be in a relationship with the guy who sleeps over at least three times a week and who has his own set of keys.” He glanced sideways at Brienne. “The girl might be stupid but she's not that stupid.”
