    Summary

    It wasn’t that the Dursleys abused Harry, really. There were no horrible beatings, no injuries that left marks, nothing like that. But they were cruel with their words, and they controlled his food to the point that some days he thought he might go insane, and Vernon did slap him pretty hard the one time, after Harry dropped a soapy dinner plate and it shattered. Sometimes Vernon flew into rages, but it wasn’t, like, horrible. Harry could always maneuver his way through.

    Or, the one where Harry is an American high school student, and Tom Riddle is a whole other kind of villain.

    Summary

    ”Queens.” Tony stood up. “Friday, pull up the file.”

    Natasha narrowed her eyes at the main photo. “Looks a little young.”

    ”He’s nineteen.” Tony shrugged.

    ***

    He was not, in fact, nineteen.

    Summary

    He stares at the water for a few minutes, thinking, why are you trapping us here? Why are you doing this to us? You're the only thing separating me from my family. After that, he turns to look at the island, and Harry nearly cries with relief at what he sees.

    There's fruit. A lot of it. Mangoes, bananas, coconuts, a few other fruity looking things he doesn't recognize. And there's a lot of colors, too. Trees and flowers everywhere. At least they're not trapped somewhere terrible. This feels like they're being given at least a chance.

    or,
    Niall, Louis and Harry get stranded on a desert island.

    Summary

    After swallowing the Excedrin, Harry stays silent. The last place he wants to be right now is in the same room as Louis. The aura between the two of them had been uncomfortable from the get-go, but Harry has never wanted to escape it more than he does at this moment. Unfortunately, his legs have made it clear that that won't be happening any time soon.

    Dammit.

    They were so close to having a normal interaction.

    -

    Or the one where Harry and Louis live together but like to ignore each other... Until one day, they don't.

    Summary

    Heard about you and Gigi, the text reads. Zayn stares at the words on the screen and in his head he can hear Harry’s slow drawl. Can almost see the dimple sinking into his cheek, his eyes, big and wide and green.

    So sorry. Hope you’re all right

    All my love

    Zayn stares at it while his heart thumps heavy in his chest. He doesn’t understand how a string of numbers and letters on a screen could paralyze him like this, but they do. His face is hot and his ears ring. Stitch nips at Zayn’s hand. The movement startles him out of the fog he’d slipped into, and he taps his thumb against the screen and without missing a breath, swipes across and deletes the message.
