    Summary

    An experiment gone wrong causes a lab to blow up, to not lose his job as a researcher at the University of Piltover, Viktor is forced to be a teacher as a disciplinary action. His former partner and now rival, Jayce, is constantly on his tail because of the accident as they argue about the ethics of each other's work. It takes their involvement with the young couple of inventors, Ekko and Jinx, for them to realize that their fight was meaningless.

     

    tldr: Jayce and Viktor are "divorced" academics and make it everyone's problem, it takes them seeing their younger selves in Jinx and Ekko to realize they are actually in love with each other.

    Summary

    “You,” Ginny swallows, and her voice sounds jagged, waves crashing against an uneven shore. “You called out for him, in your sleep.”

    He does not need her to finish. He knows. It is sick and festered and rotten, and it is true. In the blanket of night, in his dreams, Harry Potter starves. His mouth forms the supplication, a secret scalds the air, and his soul, then and now and always, calls out for Tom Riddle.

    It is only fair, after so long spent stitched into the fabric of one other.
    ...

    Or: in peacetime, Harry finds a childhood he never dealt with, a cupboard he never left, and a soul accustomed to being inextricably tied with another.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    I’ll have to admit when I saw James/Scorpius I was intrigued, because I’m usually quite into scorbus, but I thought i’d give it a try and i’m so grateful I did. This was absolutely insane. I binged the entire fic in about a day and I don’t think i’ve ever felt that many emotions in such a short span of time. Something about this author’s writing never fails to make me emotional. Midway I realised that they were the same author that wrote Running on Air which is a fic that left such a lasting impression on me a few years ago and I wasn’t surprised that they managed to evoke these many feelings out of me again. This is so beautiful and i’m going to miss Scorpius and James so much. Honestly, I think this has ruined next gen fics for me I’m so obsessed.

    Summary

    The man towers over him, his breath tasting of coldness and fury. Harry had always known that there had to have been a significant reason, why the hat had sorted him into Gryffindor over any other House. He finds, once more, that inexplicable urge to do something recklessly, utterly stupid. High from the power he so rarely wields when confronted with this man, he taunts, “Come on, Tom. Let’s finish this the way we started!” He grips the older wizard close, sees the belated outrage.
    This, certainly, qualifies as reckless stupidity.
    But, he thinks, it might also just be strikingly poetic. “Together!” He shouts and jumps off the building.
    ‘Great!’ thinks Death. ‘Excellent opportunity.’

    This is the story of Death entrapping Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort in a series of reincarnations to undo the chaos the two of them have collectively caused. It’s a story of how two adversaries tangled in fate are forced to learn about themselves and through that, about the other; of them trying to work together for a change - if only, to pursue their individual goals.
