when we are loved we are afraid (we were never meant to survive) by aletterinthenameofsanity

Summary
The effects of trauma are tricky to navigate. Relationships fall apart, old beliefs are turned over, secrets are shoved deep behind lips, habits are formed, silences are developed.
The thing is: if anyone had been looking, truly looking, they would have noticed. The bruises were decently hidden, but the psychological scars significantly less so. Comments were made on a regular basis that gave away what was happening. (My letter was addressed to the cupboard under the stairs. There were bars on my window.)
The signs were there. They were easily seen.
But who ever would have suspected the Boy Who Lived to be the victim of child abuse? Who ever would have expected that the Golden Boy could possibly have anything but the most loving of homes?
The only people who ever notice are the victims of similar kinds of abuse, similar kinds of trauma.
An envelope shows up on Harry's bed the second Thursday evening of his third year. Harry follows the instructions laid out on the letter, heading up to the seventh floor that Thursday evening and pacing in front of the wall.
(There is always help to be found from the most unlikely of places. Aka: Harry actually gets the support he deserves.)

Summary
In this world, her family does not go out with a bang. It disappears, little by little, escaping back to the kingdom she once called home.
Her world does not end. It just goes on.
-
She takes her war from the battlefield to the courtroom. She graduates law school, carefully clawing her way through every two-bit lawyer in her way. She knows how to negotiate, how to ply the response she wants out of people. She has two decades of experience over these other law students.
Susan was known as the Marksman Queen. Is sinking her sights into humans at the defense table, aiming her words at those who claim falsehood all that different?
She goes partying one night, dressed up in her best nylons with lipstick painted across her mouth. She is a force of nature, a Queen of this seedy college bar.
This is not about vanity. This is about holding onto what she has left in this world, about building a Kingdom when a god cast her out of Paradise. This is about the power a dethroned Queen can hold in an imperfect world, the power Cupid can hold after she has lost her bow.
Susan's family stays in Narnia to be better. She stays in England to make this world better.

Summary
“The saint of sorrows.” he explains, more gently. “He’s a man... well, not a man, really, he’s a vision of a man that appears to kids in the galaxy when they’re ‘badly used’. That’s what my folks told me. That he tells the kids not to cry and tries to help them.”

Five children that the ghost of Anakin Skywalker appeared to in their hour of need, and one that was happy and at peace.

Summary
A monarch cannot be a private person. In many ways, they exist only as a public persona - and more than one prince might assume that persona. In times of crisis people are not particularly inclined to question such things. After all: there must always be a king.

Tuor had laughed outright, when this suggestion was first made to him. He had stopped only when he realised Círdan had not intended it to be a joke.
“We can’t just pretend that Artanáro is still alive.” he objected. “People will notice.”
“They will accept it if it comforts them,” countered Círdan, refusing to acknowledge that he well knew how ridiculous this charade would be. “Besides,” he went on, tired. “I suspect it would not be the first time.”
