    Summary

    The door to his cupboard opens, and his uncle flings Harry into it. His shoulder wrenches from the violence as Harry tumbles in.

    The door slams shut behind him.

    Harry stumbles across the small space towards the tiny mattress pad that makes up his bed, his injured arm curled against his chest. He inches forward, and forward, but the mattress pad is nowhere to be found, and—

    His cupboard can’t be this big, surely? Where is the back wall?

    ***

    Harry Potter spends years (and no time at all) in a land that should not exist. He finds family and light, and when he returns he is changed... and he brings that change with him.

    Summary

    Mirabel’s father and uncle came into the kitchen, bringing the stranger with them.
    Now that he wasn’t dirty and bloodied, Mirabel and the rest of the Madrigals were able to see what he looked like much better.

    [...]

    He was pale, paler than Tía Pepa, the Madrigal with the fairest skin, and had dark circles under his eyes. He clearly wasn’t of the same ethnicity as them, but he had refined features, high cheekbones which gave him a haughty look and very particular grey eyes. If he wasn’t so sick-looking and obviously starved, Mirabel could see that he was a very handsome man, even more handsome than Mariano Guzman, Isabela’s almost fiancé and the town’s heartthrob.
    His dishevelled appearance, though now mitigated by her father’s clothes and his combed hair, would have made him perfect for a villain in a story if he hadn’t such a curious glint in his haunted eyes and a kind smile as he waved at them in greeting.
    “Here, Señor,” said Mirabel’s father Agustín, gesturing towards all of them, “This is our family. Everyone, this is Señor – er – I’m sorry, we haven’t even asked your name…”
    “Oh, right,” the stranger said, “My name is Sirius Black.”

    Summary

    Summer after the traumatic end of the Triwizard Tournament, instead of Harry Potter getting visions of the latest evil plot from the Dark Lord, it is Voldemort who gets visions of The-Boy-Who-Lived’s childhood.

    And they’re not pleasant.


    When Newt accepted to become one of Harry Potter's secret guard as a favor to Albus Dumbledore, he hadn't anticipated being faced with a choice concerning the welfare and safety of a child: obey Albus Dumbledore's orders or stay at Voldemort's side to protect Harry.

    Though difficult, the right choice was clear.

    Summary

    Post Battle [C3e91 -obv spoilers], the players briefly said what they did before moving on without as much RP/descriptions as normal. This is how it played out in my mind palace.
    "Chet couldn't hear the sounds of the metal clanking around him, only the ringing in his ears, as he stood in shock and disbelief. The air tasted of blood, sweat and red earth. Quickly his world snapped back into focus and he began to survey the battlefield"

    *updated to fix some errors and add a bit more Imogen and Laudna

    Summary

    Harry can't say he was exactly thrilled about being thrust into a new world and leaving everything behind, but slowly, sometimes quite so, he carves out his place and makes a new life for himself. That said life somehow includes his long-lost godfather, a team of superheroes, a Norse god for a best friend, and a magical shop that caters to Muggles was not what he was expecting. That he ends up falling in love and getting a new family out of it was even less expected.

    He thinks it all might end up being worth it.
