Summary
His attention skipped passed the students and moved to the politicians’ pavilion. His gaze locked with crimson, and he nearly faltered under the sheer hunger in those eyes.
It unnerved him how fixated the man was on his dirtied, exhausted figure.
But what troubled him more was the slight smirk he could make out on the man’s lips. It was almost pleased.
On the night of the attack, Lily managed to escape with her infant son, but at the cost of her husband’s life. Distraught and distrusting of her friends, she fled to France with Harry, to raise him away from the corruption in Britain and the rising influence of the Dark Lord. She trains him to the best of her abilities, shaping him into a dangerous, intelligent and powerful wizard.
But when Britain re-establishes the Triwizard Tournament, and Harry, now known as Hadrian, is forced to return to his once-home, he finds himself questioning whether he really wants to kill the Dark Lord. Voldemort finds an unexpected challenge in the child, and as his intrigue and amusement grows, so too does the desire to possess the spark in those defiant green eyes.

Summary
In a world where Voldemort's victory brought forth the golden age of pureblood supremacy, young Harry - an average Durmstrang student - grows surrounded by the same propaganda that has become the gospel truth of the Wizarding World. Injustice is a norm and racism is not only accepted, but actively encouraged. Embracing the status quo becomes harder when Harry finds himself in a train station where the living should not dwell, and a dangerous friend who goes by the name "Tom".

Summary
Harry Evans is a perfectly normal sixteen year old, thank you very much. Except that... he isn't. Not by anyone's standards. (Not when he can make things move with his mind). He tries not to let it bother him, but he's doing increasingly freakish things, and the world around him is getting stranger and stranger. People are following him, and speaking in metaphors, and somehow knowing his name. It's unnerving.
He wonders when his life became this much of a fever dream.Or... Harry Potter somehow slipped under the radar, and now, 5 years after that first Hogwarts letter was sent out, they've finally found him. The world is darker, and more hopeless, and the Harry Potter they get seems like the furthest thing from a beacon of light. He's angry and reckless and world worn. But he's their only hope: the saviour of the Wizarding World. If only he gave a shit.

Summary
“Okay.” He took a deep breath and exhaled. He then looked at Phichit, “I was a figure skater for Japan but I retired about 18 years ago and currently, I work as a coach and choreographer with my partner. I skated under the name Katsuki Yuuri. I am, as of now in my mind at least, 47 years old.”
Phichit stared blankly at Yuuri. His twenty-year-old (soon to be twenty-one-year-old) son had just mentioned 'retirement' and 'years ago' in one sentence. He even added 47 somewhere in there.
“Huh...”
“Phichit?”
“Huh?”
“Err... I did tell you I have no explanation for this.”
“Ahh...”
Silence.
“Do you need water, Phichit?”
“No. I'll choke.”
“Err...”
“Yuuri...”
“Yes?”
“My poor beautiful smol son...” And then, Phichit wailed.
After an accident at the Free Skating warm-ups in Skate Canada for Season 2014 - 2015, Yuuri Katsuki changed. Everyone is in for a ride and Phichit is only eager to stoke the fire.
P.S
This is my first time writing a fanfiction. Please be kind to me! This is all just for fun while waiting for updates from the original anime series. Don't take this seriously.Series

Summary
Poodle
Yuuuuri did you know you're ranked second on “Top Ten Butts in Men’s Figure Skating” ???The blog had ranked Victor third, below Yuuri, which is laughable. “This is an opportunity,” Phichit says, when he finds Yuuri in the kitchen, staring at the text while his pot of instant noodles boils over on the stove. “To find out if it’s Victor, I mean.”
Katsuki Yuuri
the rankings are clearly wrong
particularly the top threeBut either Poodle isn’t Victor, or he isn’t interested in defending the honour of his butt: of course it’s wrong! your butt is clearly superior to that Canadian, his ass is flatter than blinchiki.
(After his disastrous Grand Prix Final, Katsuki Yuuri decides to try to be the first skater to land a quad axel in competition. It’s a secret from everyone, except the mysterious text correspondent who appeared in his phone contacts as “Poodle” following the Sochi GPF.)

Summary
In which Amara doesn't bring back Mary, she brings back John Winchester.
Dean is uncertain what Amara's meaning is when she brings John back, and struggles with coming to terms with the new family dynamic. Sam tries harder to keep the peace than he used to, and Cas does not get along with John at all- though he tries. Testosterone is at an all-time high as these four men struggle to coexist in the hunting world with very different ideologies.
We explore just how much the brothers have changed in the ten years without their father's guidance, the trauma they still haven't resolved, and the feelings that Dean and Cas hold for one another despite the very real and new barrier that is John.
This story begins 12x01 and ends around 13x06
