Summary
“I heard some older years talking in the library last year,” Potter said. “And one of them said that — if a student is — having issues, at home or — they can come to you. And you’ll help them. Even if they’re slow or a Hufflepuff or — well — me.”
“And did these frightfully careless students mention any details, or was it merely unsubstantiated rumours?” Snape drawled.
Potter visibly swallowed. “They said that, uh, if a student comes to you and says it’s in the name of asphodel, you will help. You have to help them.”Series

Summary
With a sound like a giant bubble bursting, Harry vanished – ripping a chunk of the fence and the earth beneath him into a swirling void.
Dudley and his gang froze, staring at the empty space where the other boy had just been – confusion clear across their faces.
Harry Potter had gotten away.
(Far away, in the humid forests of Albania, a shadow of a man – a mere sliver of soul, the faint spectre of the once-feared Lord Voldemort – felt a violent pull on his magic. He could not resist – could not fight it. In an instant, he was drained, erased, and snuffed out like a candle.
Thus, one prophecy found its end, while another – far away and elsewhere – had only just begun.)
Or: Harry never apparates to the top of the school roof in a feat of accidental magic. Instead, he rips through time and space and – after a few twists and turns – lands squarely in the metaphorical lap of a Dark Lord in his prime, becoming Voldemort’s least favourite plot twist.
Tom, however, eventually comes to appreciate the pint-sized troublemaker he has been saddled with.

Summary
"He had worn his favorite jacket to school. He had an English assignment in his backpack. It was due tomorrow. He should probably start it soon.
But he thought back to his desk in his bedroom, and realized it was gone now. That part of the house was completely gone, burned up into ash."
or:
What does one do when they've lost everything? Derek is still figuring it out.

Summary
His father wasn’t stupid. He was an officer of the law, trained to look for patterns. He confronted Stiles about werewolves and they shouted and Stiles tried to explain but his father was so, so, so mad, more mad than Stiles had ever seen him, ever in all his life and then his father looked at him and said,
“It’s like you’re not my son anymore.”
And Stiles broke.
