    Summary

    Haruhi said to the stranger, "The food's good, isn't it? Have you tried the small quiches?"

    She'd spoken English on the assumption that most people in the room would likely understand it, but when the man turned it became apparent that he was Japanese. Haruhi knew this because she recognised his face. It was the face of Japan's ace skater, Katsuki Yuuri.

    "K-K-Katsuki Yuuri-senshu!" Haruhi clapped her hand over her mouth, feeling the blood rise to her face.

    "Ah," said Katsuki. He was different off the ice. His spectacles reduced the impact of his eyes, and the shape of his face was somehow softer, less distinctive. "Do I know you?"

     

    Yuuri makes a friend. Viktor hates it.

    Summary

    “Are you implying that I am responsible for Voldemort’s actions?” Dumbledore’s voice had finally turned cold.
    “No, I’m saying you’re responsible for neglecting a young boy! You treated him with nothing but suspicion and coldness, and when he grew up suspicious and cold you took that as confirmation that you were always right about him.”
    “I assume you have a reason for laying these heavy charges at my feet,” said Dumbledore quietly.
    She sighed. “I just think… maybe you should take your own advice and try to solve this problem with love, not destruction. You don’t have to destroy a Horcrux. You can heal it.”
    “You speak of remorse,” Dumbledore didn’t sound impressed. “If I may, I see very little chance of convincing Voldemort to feel empathy for the things he has done –”
    “Not Voldemort,” she interrupted. “Tom.”
    “You are suggesting that we use Voldemort’s first Horcrux to reanimate sixteen-year-old Tom Riddle.” Dumbledore's tone left much to be desired.

    Summary

    What do you do if you wake up as Harry Potter? Escape the Dursleys and clear Sirius's name, of course! But after that? The magical world rapidly proves more complex than expected, a world where it is unclear who to trust. Where the motivations of the Malfoys may be nuanced enough for them to become allies.

    Malcolm watches Sirius trail behind Harry in the orphanage like a wounded puppy. It’s a delicate balance, trying to smooth over Sirius’s ever-shifting moods while not overstepping his role as the Black Steward. He suppresses a sigh as the boy gathers up a few items–a pinecone, a candle, a few stones–from around the dorm.

    His breath catches.

    The moment the child lifts the final stone, a spell is broken. He nearly misses it: the change only perceptible against the oppressive lack he feels in his bones whenever he is in the muggle world. In his mind’s eye he sees himself as a child, isolated and ignorant of the magical world, drowning in concrete and chain-link fences. He knows that, just as this child has done, that he would have clung to whatever beauty he could make or find. That in order to survive, he would have known where to place the stones.
