Summary
Crossposted, unsurprisingly. Feedback is much appreciated, as long as it's constructive.
Most of these will involve Marvel/the MCU, DC, Harry Potter, Star Wars, Star Trek, or Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I'm a sucker for canon divergence, both reading and creating, especially when the train actually goes off the rails; it can be easy to get into the habit of 'this is how X event would have looked with the changes I introduced earlier' even when those changes really mean that X event shouldn't have happened at all, and the story ends up being a rehash of canon with a couple of extra flairs rather than an exploration of the core idea. Self-insertion can make that very easy, along with Peggy Sues. In the same vein, introducing a character or group from one setting into another almost always creates an outside-context problem with potentially fascinating results, and many abilities can do the same when transplanted into a new or existing character.

Summary
When a new Lord or group signs onto the Accords they must have a Knight or group as Protectors. John Marcone didn't know this when he first signed onto the Accords. So the other Lords decide to give him one of theirs. Harry is the unlucky volunteer.
Harry shouldn't have been surprised when he was "volunteered" to become Marcone's Knight. After all, why would the White Council care about him? So he agreed to it expecting to be dead within the year.
Will John be able to give Harry a reason to survive?

Summary
There are those among us who can move at will between the world of wolves and the world of the humans. There are many names for them depending on the culture and history with these creatures. Some of them share names with monsters older than history itself. Due to their connection to the moon and the thinning of the veils many settled in areas known as Wolf Lake, in the deep forests. For hundreds of years, after the Great War of the Clans they lived in peace. With both natural wolves and humans.
Instead of killing DeMorne with magic, Harry came into a long forgotten inheritance and tears out his throat. The White Council assumes it's a lup-garouattack. Harry runs to Chicago where he spends more than a year on the streets before he accidentally comes across Gentleman Johnny Marcone. He escape into the Spirit Realm by slipping off his pentacle so that it no longer touches skin.
Time and time again they meet only for Harry to slip from his grasp over the next year. Even as he finally finds stability in working for a run down bar where he sleeps in the back. The cops assume he's a junky, and the locals are content to leave him be. Through unfortunate events he's forced into Marcone's lap.

Summary
During the Battle for Chicago, Harry Dresden is killed. His only regret was that he was leaving behind the one person who managed to get past his defenses. John Marcone had givme him all the reasons needed to survive. Dying meant he would be leaving him alone.
Harry did not expect to wake up. Much less wake up around a decade in the past to Morgan giving him CPR. Having to navigate the past with the wrench of soulmates, what kind of ridiculousness was this, makes his life difficult. Especially when the one person he'd come to trust breaks into his office just as Harry remembered him doing.
Everything in him wants to leave Chicago and just hide from everything. He fought all of this once. Why did he have to do it all again? He was tired and hurting. The thought of falling back into step at John's side is more comforting than anything else. It might make things better this time. Maybe he can stop people from dying. Maybe they can change everything.
For those he lost once and he would do his best not to lose again.

Summary
The war has taken everything from Harry Dresden—his humanity, his freedom, and perhaps even his soul. Turned into a vampire by Paolo Ortega, Harry appeared to turn on every oath, wielding dark power and striking a questionable allegiance with a Fallen angel.
Conscripted into a losing war after the destruction of the White Council, Molly Carpenter has been fighting back in her own way, fleeing to the only resistance left: the Fellowship of St. Giles. Armed with only her wits and a modest amount of magic, she's outmatched when she comes face-to-face with Harry Dresden. A desperate flight for her life turns into a chase, and she's run down.
But Harry doesn't kill her. He doesn't even touch her...at first. She's being kidnapped and held as leverage against the one man who might end his reign of terror. It should be simple, right? Survive until the Knights come.
Except, the truth runs even deeper than she can imagine. Molly is caught up in a dark web of blood and petty power games, forcing her to face the most difficult choice of her life. She has to place her trust in the very man who pulled her from the fray if she wants to keep her life--and sanity--intact.
Deviates at the end of Death Masks.

Summary
Harry disappears for a few days. John isn't worried at first as it's fairly common for Harry to disappear and reappear on a whim. This time though when he returns he is jumpy and flinching at any sudden moves. It's as if all the work John had done to get Harry comfortable with him went down the drain. Now he won't even look at John. So he is pissed to say the least.
