    Summary

    Peter Parker is nothing. He used to be something, mean something, and then he fucked up. He had everything, the whole world; two best friends, his Aunt May, and even a new budding father-like figure in Tony Stark. Now, though? He had nothing.

    No more late night lab visits with Mr. Stark, hacking into government websites and building new stupid nanotech bots that vacuum the floor only if you beg it and sound like a certain Captain, or robots that twisted in all angles like infinity cubes to play ultimate twister with. No more study sessions with MJ, listening to old punk rock bands and doodling in the margins. No more lego building with Ned, building and taking apart and building that Lego Death Star dozens of times in his bedroom.

    And, worst of all, no Aunt May to wake him up on his bad days with a worried frown on her lips and a fresh hot chocolate in her hands to warm him.

    OR

    Peter Parker ends up in Gotham, an alternative universe, with soulmates and weird smells.

    OR

    Angst. Lots of it, good angst, and lots of healing and happy moments. Suffering to be saved. Soulmates. Hiding. Fun!

    Summary

    After the end of the Triwizard Tournament, Harry is alone and struggling to find a way to hang on to his sanity when an unexpected boon walks into his house and kidnaps him to Gringotts. The Most Noble House of Nott is attacked and Theodore is left with nothing but ashes, a single gemstone, and the burning fire of something bigger than himself lodged forever in his soul. Lucius Malfoy suffers a momentary lapse in sanity and raises his wand against the Dark Lord. The lines between light and dark, good and evil, blur together and disappear entirely. All the while, Harry goes searching for who "Just Harry" is and keeps coming back to a dark-eyed Slytherin he never thought he'd call his friend...

    Summary

    In a parallel wizarding world where Leo Potter is believed to be the boy-who-lived, desperate to survive the war, he attempts to summon Godric Gryffindor to defeat the resurrected Voldemort. Only for the ritual to tear open a rift and pull through Harry Potter, the battle-scarred survivor of another reality who is the reincarnation of Salazar Slytherin. Harry finds himself mistaken for the legendary founder himself. Now he must conceal his true identity, uncover the fate of this world’s missing Harry Potter, navigate the dangerous attention of Voldemort, and resist being drawn into a brewing war that echoes the one he had just barely escaped.

    Summary

    In the horrifying wake of the Temple sacking, Obi-Wan finds four precious younglings still alive, and flings himself into the Force on a wish and a prayer, hoping to find a place of safety for them all. He finds a better one than he could have dreamed of, an oasis of kindness in a galaxy gone Dark and mad. But this oasis has its own strangeness and secrets. If Obi-wan and the children can adapt, they may have a safe place to rest, heal, and even restart the Order. But adapting means Obi-wan must face some hard truths about himself, Anakin, and the Order as they knew it. The results will change the fate of the galaxy, forever.

    Fic is finished and will update Tuesdays and Thursdays.

    Summary

    It had only taken Peter about thirty minutes (of time not screaming out in pain and terror as his body pulled itself apart into a brightly colored conglomerate of molecules, something he did not want to think about) for Peter to figure out a few very important things about his situation.

    1. Peter Parker was currently in a universe incredibly different from his own.
    2. Peter Parker should under no circumstances interact with anyone running around dressed as some sort of bat or bird.
    3. Peter Parker was completely and utterly alone.

    --

    Or: Another Peter Parker wakes up in Gotham after getting snapped fic. Except this time, he's glitching!
