Summary
His second chance at life had its ups and downs, Liam decided. For the unambitious Gamer, his system was exceptionally helpful in making his dream of an utterly normal upper middle-class life seem reasonable. Well, except for the whole Gotham situation.
But hey, while Liam Holme might not have been invested in becoming a hero, he certainly had no problem telling DC’s colorful line-up where to stick it – be it heroes or villains.Bookmarked by kwalsh8287

Summary
In another universe of possibilities where the butterflies are busy, young Harry's destiny changes on the twitch of an unwitting stranger's roving eye...
*
“I told you, didn’t I? That he left you on the doorstep?” she says bitterly. “On Hallowe’en night, with a note? A note, telling me that your parents… That my baby sister… Had been murdered? The man lives in some kind of self-narrated fairy tale, boy, and he’s decided that you’re his hero. Well, let me tell you something. Your mother and father were heroes. Your world… It was full, by all reports, of heroes, during that war that they kept going on about, and there are precious few of them… Precious few of them… Who were left alive at the end of it. And he was clear, very clear, wasn’t he, when he left you here with instructions that you be kept safe, at the possible - no, definite - expense of my own family… That it wasn’t over?”
Eleven-year-old Harry says nothing. Petunia Dursley turns her head and looks at him.
“Don’t be brave, boy,” she tells him fiercely. “Your parents were brave. They died. Be smart. Be smart instead, and live. On your own terms. No one else’s. Ever.”

Summary
Harry had a secret. He had scales on his skin and slitted pupils, fangs and a forked tongue. The only ones who knew of it were the Dursleys, and that's how Harry intended to keep it. That is, until he met Neville Longbottom on the Hogwarts Express and a Basilisk deep in the bowels of Hogwarts.
He never expected how much his life would change after that.
