Summary
While on the hunt for Horcruxes, a chance encounter with Death Eaters ends with Harry being sent back in time to 1942 and de-aged to five years old. The horcrux inside of him leads Headmaster Dippet to the absurd conclusion that Harry must be Tom Riddle’s son from the future. Dippet believes it is best for model student Tom to take care of Harry until they find a way to send him back to his time.
Tom is not happy with this arrangement at first.

Summary
After nearly dying in a car accident on his birthday, loner and dish washer Lewis Seng wakes to find
the last person he expects or wants to see at his bedside: the rich boy who keeps bothering him at work, Jay Westcott. All he wants to do is sleep off his hangover and bruises but, when he hears news that Westcott broke his neck last night supposedly falling down the stairs, Lewis finds out that he can see ghosts. When Westcott threatens to haunt him for the rest of his life, Lewis reluctantly agrees to help investigate his death and in doing so unravels a city-wide conspiracy amongst the elites and perhaps finds his first real friend.***
Featuring cooking lessons between a ghost and a boy who burns peanut butter and jam sandwhiches, using fun facts to flirt with someone and Lewis somehow becoming the prime suspect in a murder that he increasingly wishes he really did commit.***
This is a teaser first chapter for a story that will hopefully be coming out late this year. Subscribe if you want updates about its release. -

Summary
While on patrol, Jason Todd finds a tiny, shivering puppy behind a dumpster. He can’t just leave it there. Bruce shouldn’t be the only one who can take in strays.
Tim Drake did not expect to be transformed into a dog while stalking Batman and Robin. He certainly didn’t expect Robin to take him home. Tim really should tell them he’s not actually a dog but they keep cuddling him and it’s not like anyone will notice he’s gone.

Summary
Welcome back to Harry and Tim Drake's second year at Hogwarts.
It has been nearly two years since Harry Potter successfully escaped the Dursleys and found himself in Gotham. Since then he's faced a Cerberus, saved a unicorn and faced his parents murderer who, for some reason, didn't seem that interested in killing him.
Harry thought his life couldn't get any crazier but nothing could prepare him for a baby ninja, a disembodied voice in the castle walls and an escaped convict who is apparently very interested in killing him. Tim is going to need a lot of coffee to get through this year.

Summary
Ilya Rozanov has been drafted by Boston, the number one pick overall, but his father doesn't want him moving to America and so takes steps to block his visa. He's going to have to go back to Russia and stay there forever and that, thinks Shane Hollander, is wrong.
It's so wrong that Shane can't stop himself from doing something about it. Even though that something is the most reckless, the only reckless thing he's ever done in his life. He marries Rozanov in secret, to keep him out of Russia and put him on a path to Canadian citizenship.
Shane's got a five-year plan to get him there and when you have a plan nothing can go wrong. Right? Right. When you have a solid plan and a marriage that's on paper only there's no risk of feelings getting involved. Not on Rozanov's part and certainly not on Shane's.
Right???

How to Block Tags With Site Skins (And Get Real Specific About It) by Stellar_Eclipse
Fandoms: No Fandom
25 Jun 2025
Tags
Summary
Just some info I've gathered over the past couple of weeks, about how to:
1. Block tags using Site Skins, block only fics that contain both tag A and tag B, and block fics with a tag that contains a certain phrase, unless they are a specific whitelisted tag
2. Highlight the tags in pretty colors! Or bold, or hide them!
3. Block mega-crossovers with a million different fandoms
4. Select for/block fics that are completed/rated something/have a certain category/don't have summaries
5. Block everything that doesn't have a certain tag, or one of a list of tags
6. Block orphan_account and tag block by author
7. Block only tags of specific types (fandoms, relationships, freeforms, etc.)
8. Block fics focused on a list of characters, and/or fics without any tags of a specific type
9. Block every pairing with two characters in it—case insensitive, any order, no matter how many other people are also in the tag
10. Block by number of tagsSeries

Summary
When the unsentimental financial imperative of the NHL sees Shane traded to the Boston Raiders, he and Ilya are thrown into closer extended proximity than ever before. As they adjust to life as teammates, they are forced to contend with the nature of their relationship -and must answer for themselves: is it even a relationship at all?
____Sliding down the wall, Shane hunched over his untied sneakers, shoved on hastily when Coach had called him in for a meeting after morning skate.
“Boston wanted you specifically. I’ve already spoken to their GM. You’re flying this evening or tomorrow morning: I’ll confirm once the paperwork clears.”
“Mom,” Shane managed.
“Oh sweetie. I know, okay. Those fuckers, how dare they do this! Two fucking cups! Now all of a sudden they decide they want a reset and you’re going to fund it.”
Shane put his head between his knees and tried to breathe. God, Boston. They hated him there; it was so far away; he was fucking their captain.

Summary
Damian had no clue who the man his mother called his father was. No name, no address, not even a crappy old photo like in all those cheesy romance movies. So here he is, roaming around Gotham with a backpack and $500 that his mother gave him. yay.
Tim Drake is a university student who needs more sleep and a lot more coffee. He is staying up to do school work. And now on top of all of that and something else that he should not be doing, he finds a child bleeding out in an alley, and he's emotionally attached already. yay.
LETS GIVE THE EMOTIONALLY UNSTABLE-BARELY-ADULT THE POWER TO ADOPT!!! SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT PLAN!!!

Summary
Boston.
Shane just got traded to fucking Boston. To where Ilya was. With no apparent fucking reason in the middle of the season. He just won them two cups, why was this happening?
—
Shane gets traded in the middle of the 2016/2017 season, just before the All-Stars. The Tuna Meltdown never happens and Shane and Ilya amicably decide to stop seeing each other but remain ‘friends’. Both are very ‘happy’ with this decision until Hollander is traded to Boston. Now they must work with each other on the same team while Shane wonders what the hell happened in Montreal to get him traded in the first place. The Boston Raiders learn that Shane Hollander is not a chicken, or a virgin (lol) like everyone believes. And the Metros learn just how important Shane was in winning those cups.
And Cliff Marleau is just trying to figure out why Ilya’s messages to Jane stopped.
