    Summary

    "Timothy Drake's a ghost," declares Dick.

    Jason quirks an eyebrow. "We need B to haul in somebody from the Justice League to help with magic shit?"

    "Not literally," says Dick, with a dismissive wave of his hand.

    Literally the kid's a seventeen-year-old boy who has, by all appearances, been living next door to Wayne Manor since the day he was born. He's just also hilariously, laughably off any kind of radar Dick can think to find him with.

    Summary

    There are older magics beneath the skin of the world.

    Ancient things. Hungry things. Things that do not care for wand laws or Ministry decrees.

    Harry Potter opens a book and lets them in.

    Hogwarts notices the difference immediately. Gryffindor House closes to him. Slytherin House opens its doors. Old families begin to take notice. And as Harry is drawn deeper into blood magic, ancient ritual, and the politics of inheritance, he discovers that some forms of magic do not merely change what you can do.

    They change what you are.

    Summary

    After one corridor fight too many, Professor McGonagall decides Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy need to learn how to tolerate each other.

    Her solution means shared dormitories, shared meals, awkward lessons, Quidditch at far too close range and a lot more knowledge of each other’s sleeping habits than either of them ever wanted.

    At least, that is what Draco tells himself.

    Because somewhere between being forced to stay close and choosing to, things start getting complicated.

    or...

    Draco Malfoy discovers ten feet is somehow both far too close and nowhere near close enough.

    Summary

    Jokes on them because this was the last push. The straw that broke the camel's back. Harry closed his eyes. He was so tired of being shaped. Of being pushed forward into dangerous situations because someone else decided it was necessary. Of being told, implicitly and explicitly, that his wants and needs came second to what the world (a world that had abandoned him several times already) needed from him.

    But what if he just… stopped? Stopped being their Golden Boy? Stopped pushing himself to meet their impossible expectations. Stopped being the Boy-Who-Lived? What if, for the first time in his life, he decided something for himself?
