    Summary

    When Harry finds an injured Snape on his doorstep and must hide him from the Dursleys, he has no idea that this very, very bad day will be the start of something good.

    Harry and Snape are thrown together by annoying relatives, a series of strange dreams, and Voldemort's latest hunt for Harry, but their greatest challenge may well be surviving each other. This will be a long summer unless the two can find a way to work together. A slow-burn enemy-to-mentor story.

    Alternate 6th summer (and part of the school year): post-OotP; ignores HBP and DH. No slash, no romance. NOW COMPLETE!

    Summary

    An unfortunate run in with a member of the church leaves master and servant separated. With Renfield caught in the clutches of a vampire hunter, Dracula is left no choice but to either cut his losses and move on alone, or track his wayward familiar and those who took him down.
    --
    "Master-" silence. Renfield’s voice was gone, Dracula blind and deafened from his familiar. Rage boiled in Dracula’s black blood but he did not panic. He was not without a hold yet. He could still feel Renfield struggling, moreso the clinging of the man’s own soul to Dracula than the chains that now hung limp and empty between them. He was still fighting. They could still prevail.

    Then pain. Burning, searing, purifying pain! Dracula could not hear, but his mind conjured Renfield’s piercing scream as something like fire was pushed into the skin of his familiar’s chest. Small, symmetrical, and wholly insurmountable.

    The sign of the cross. Dracula’s presence fled from Renfield without thought or will. Abandoning the last, vestige grips of his hold on the man as the holy symbol was branded into flesh. Renfield was lost.

    Dracula was alone.

    Summary

    She’s fairly certain this is all a weird dream, and so Christine does not question it: the void, the blue evening gown, the floating prism with its lonely prisoner in a cloak of black and gold, and certainly not that apparition of a giant orange bald guy with glowing eyes. Especially not that.

    As the version of herself from the so-called sacred timeline, maybe Christine can simply go wherever and whenever she wants.

    (In which the Watcher settles his debt of gratitude to Strange Supreme, sort of.)

    Summary

    "Bucky looks at him, through him; doesn't meet his eyes. "I know you."

    "Yeah," Steve says slowly, forcing words out through a throat that has just closed up. "You know me."

    Bucky nods jerkily, and produces a gun from somewhere. He offers it to Steve, handle first. "Asset reporting for debrief," he says.

    Steve doesn’t know what else to do. He takes it."

    A couple of weeks after the events of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Bucky surrenders to Steve. Then he starts the long road to recovery. Prepare for angst. Lots of angst.
