    Summary

    Almost everyone at Hogwarts wants to be Sirius Black—charming, popular, heir to a noble name, and blessed with a handsome face. Except Sirius Black. Trapped between who he is and who he’s expected to be, he finds an unlikely escape in an anonymous correspondence that leads him to someone he would never expect. But words are easy—change is harder. And proving he can be something more than what he’s been may cost him everything.

    Summary

    Severus had always known that he would die in a painful, most horrifying way ever since back when he was almost beaten to death by his father, then mauled by a werewolf, then thrashed around by a maniac overlord. His miserable, luckless life only seemed to lead to that one day when he would be struck down by a bloody snake, of all things.
    Bleeding out in front of Harry Potter was just the last humiliation Lady Destiny had in store for him.
    Suddenly staring into Potter senior’s eyes again while being levicorpused was just the icing on the cake.

    Summary

    When most seers awaken their powers they have visions and prophesies for the future, coming to them in dream like trances. When Draco Malfoy awakens his seer powers he's gifted with hallucinations, a breakdown on the floor of the Leaky Cauldron, and the lost ability to see souls. It made him undeniably more powerful, but he wasn't sure that being held hostage by the Order of the Phoenix was a fair trade off.

    Summary

    "Are you happy now, that he's on the ground
    And do you realize the words you say make bruises that don't fade away
    Are you happy now, that you've brought him down
    And he's thinking that he won't fit in
    'Cause you said something's wrong with him
    Are you happy now?"
    Are You Happy Now by Meg and Liz
    ---

    Percy is near his breaking point.

    He just can't do it anymore. It's become too much. One night, when he attempts to jump off the Astronomy Tower, he's pulled back at the last second by the last person he ever thought would be there.

    ~~

    Oliver Wood never bothered to get to know his dormmate. They'd essentially lived separate lives. Now he felt guilty. Guilty for treating him like he wasn't there. guilty for not recognizing the signs.

    He decides he wants to get to know Percy Weasley. And that year, the boys develop a deep friendship. Over the course of that year, Percy feels a sense of belonging. he feels love and acceptance for who he really is.

    Summary

    As Severus is about to start his last year at Hogwarts, a familiar stranger encountered on the train platform spurs him to try, for one last time, to mend his lost friendship with Lily.

    “Otherwise Harry will die”, they said.

    Well. He has no fucking idea who 'Harry' is, and Black is a particular pain in his ass even post-graduation, but Severus just cannot run from a challenge, can he?

    After all, winning a war couldn’t be that complicated.

     

    The updates are for fixing grammar, typos and overall errors. @Nordremo my wonderful beta does it for me, as much as she did the summary.
    The only new thing is the wonderful art at chapter nine.
