Summary
Harry had clawed his way toward peace, and with Ron and Hermione guarding the fragile pieces of him, he’d learned to expect their care: sometimes gentle, sometimes maddening. But this time, they crossed a line: they scheduled a doctor’s appointment.
A story of quiet recovery, found family, and the slow, aching work of letting yourself be cared for.

Every time Harry has a kip the room fills with water, Draco comes in to help, because of course

this dark world aches for a splash of the sun by linil (orphan_account)

Summary
The point is, Harry is having a right old time and he is suddenly, very much not pale. He’s outside as much as is physically possible, which means he soaks up gallons of sunlight a day. It seeps into his skin, into the muscles and bones beneath, probably, staining him a warm mahogany, barely paler than Hermione.

Summary
Jim has a nightmare about the events of Tarsus IV, Spock is there to comfort him. When they meet with Spock prime again everything changes, and Spock struggles to keep a lid on his emotions.
A much darker sequel to the previous works - can be read as a standalone as long as you're aware they shared a bed the other night when Jim was drunk.
TW: Tarsus IV is kinda its own trigger warning, but child death, starvation, genocide and torture.

Summary
Six months after the war, Harry Potter returns to Hogwarts—not as the Boy Who Lived, but as someone learning how to live again. Haunted by memories and unsure who he is without a battle to fight, Harry finds himself untethered in a school that feels both familiar and foreign.
Then there’s Theodore Nott—quiet, sharp-tongued, and infuriatingly hard to read. A Slytherin who shouldn’t matter, but somehow keeps showing up. With every teasing word and unreadable glance, Theo begins to slip past Harry’s defenses, settling into his life in ways Harry never saw coming.
But nothing was ever simple for Harry Potter. The battles he fought are not truly over, and the past is not done with him. Secrets linger in whispered voices and forgotten books. Shadows stretch out from bloodlines and betrayals, and the truth—about his family, about Theo, about himself—is darker and more complicated than he’s ready to face.
While forming an unlikely group of friends, and slow-burning feelings, Harry realizes that surviving the war was only the beginning. Because some curses don’t kill. Some bind.
And some were cast long before he was born.

Summary
Fred never really seemed to know what to say when he was around Harry. He found that his usually semi-working brain went to complete mush. Maybe that was why instead of focusing on Harry’s words, all he could notice was the bit of chocolate on Harry’s lips. Dear Merlin, did he want to lick it off.
“Do you want to help George and I with something?” he blurted out. George looked at him from across the room where he was being plied with bag after bag of sugar.
“Is it illegal?” Harry asked.
“Is that a dealbreaker, honey?" Fred smirked.
Harry worried his lip for a moment before staring up at Fred with daring eyes. "Lead the way."
//
Fred grows close with Harry during Harry's fourth year. Harry truly has no idea what he's in for. Featuring a wrong boy who lived Harry Potter who has a twin brother, has living parents but who he did not grow up with, and a very bad reputation for being as bad at magic as a squib! Comes with a grumpy but supportive George Weasley, hilarious Gryffindor quidditch team, and cool house elves!
Technically part of a series but you don't have to read the others! It makes more sense if you don't! (more details in the notes!)

Summary
Draco has goals after the war. Small ones. Pathetic ones, really. And he’s quite honestly bored to tears with them. Is it so surprising that he gets distracted from his little to-do list when something, or someone, much more interesting garners his attention?

Summary
When Harry Potter arrives at Hogwarts (and is sorted into Slytherin), he finds a family hidden in its walls. Between a sarcastic toad named Midas, a cautious circle of new friends, and a professor who is secretly more soft then spiky, Harry starts to realize that he truly can belong.
As the year unfolds with flying lessons, trolls, and far too many secrets, Harry learns what it means to belong… and that sometimes, the line between friendship and something more is thinner than it seems — especially when Draco Malfoy is involved.
(Also, Midas insists on commenting on everything like an overdramatic bard, and honestly? He’s not wrong.)
