    Summary

    Sadie had blinked at him, stunned, and then scrambled to sign the contract. Flexible hours, two free meals per shift, decent insurance, and paying slightly above minimum wage? It had been everything a struggling student like her could hope for, and then some.

    Now, faced with the prospect of having to tell her boss that she’s screwing up on her very first shift, Sadie wishes she was anywhere but here, though. Still, she steels herself, takes a deep breath, and knocks on Mr Hargrove’s office door.

    A moment later, a gruff voice calls back, “Come in.”

    [Billy and Steve, older but none the wiser, through a stranger's eyes.]

    Summary

    “No post on Sundays” Uncle Vernon announced happily, “No damn letters today-”
    Something came whizzing down the kitchen chimney as he spoke and caught him sharply on the back of the head. The next moment, thirty or forty letters came pelting out of the fireplace like bullets.
    “That does it!” he snapped, his beady little eyes focused solely on Harry, “It’s you that they want. And they won’t stop coming after us until you’re… gone”.
    Harry didn't like the sound of that.
    “But Vernon, we can’t! You heard what that- that despicable old man told us!”
    “Don’t worry, pet” Vernon said, his nasty grin triumphant, “I’ll leave him someplace so far away that those freaks will never trace him back to us. There’s an institute up north, for these- these hopeless cases and whatnot - St Brutus's Secure Centre for Boys. I’ll leave him there, and then we can get back to our nice, normal life”.

    Or, the one where Harry doesn't attend Hogwarts in first year but finds his way to the wizarding world anyway, and this changes everything.

    Summary

    “So, who’s here? And,” Chris adds when Adrian sucks in a breath, and allows himself to roll his eyes, “don’t say no one.”

    Adrian sulks up at him, but he also steps back, and holds the door open in invitation. “You’re not allowed to be mad about this, though. Because it seems like something you’d get mad about, and I don’t want you to be mad.”

    Well, if that isn’t ominous as fuck. “Why d’you think I’d be—oh, fuck no!”

    From the other side of the living room, arms crossed over his chest, Adrian—another Adrian glowers at Chris. “Fuck you.”

    [Or; Adrian brings himself from the Nazi dimension back to their Evergreen. Somehow, against all fucking odds, it actually ends up working out for Chris. In more ways than one. Well, two ways, because there's two Adrians now.]

    Summary

    “Hey! I’ll have you know, Peacemaker is great at sex, and sex, like everything else, is practice makes perfect!” Adrian says indignantly. He shifts his weight to make up for the little distance Other Adrian just put between them. Now they’re in each other’s personal space. “You wanna bet I’m better at sex than you?”

    OR,

    Adrian may not like sex, but he sure as hell knows how to make himself feel good.

    Summary

    He had gotten a royal pardon for his crimes and been offically offered the top spot on Aegon's III kingsguard. Aemond had an uneasy feeling, looking at the little children up on the dais. Jaehaera was not seven yet and barely verbal, but he had been overjoyed to see her again. Rhaenyra's poor boy looked totally lost in front of that gigantic throne of melted swords, there were no dragons anymore, and they all were abolutely fucked.
