Summary
Harry tore his eyes away from the man on the catwalk. The merry party of wizards were advancing on him with Moody at the helm, leaving Uncle Vernon to smoulder a few metres away. He was asked if he was ready to go, which he didn't respond to. He simply let Moody's gnarly, root-like hand clamp onto his shoulder and lead him away.
They followed all the way to Uncle Vernon's Mercedes. Some of them gave Harry hugs while other whispered reassurances that they'd see each other again soon. That the weeks would fly by and that they would come to get him before he knew it. But Harry knew very well that he was doomed. He knew that this would be the last he ever saw of any of them.

Fewer things are the same now, in this summer of 1996, though a few things will remain the same. This is Part Two of the Dreamweaver series.

Summary
Harry Potter has always been different, and his strange connection to plants marks him as the freak his Aunt and Uncle always claimed he was. The wizarding world was supposed to be an escape, but even there, he must hide the truth of his abilities. His magic doesn’t fit the rules, and secrets have a way of growing wild.
(If only there was someone who understood...)

Summary
Many things are different and many are the same as Harry begins his fifth year at Hogwarts.
Here, living with Dursleys that aren't just neglectful but outright abusive made Harry unable to withstand more than a few weeks of Trelawney's "predictions" back in his third year. Instead, he took Ancient Runes, and uncovered that he had a prodigious knack for runic magic, which opened the door to the darkest of rituals and the magic of mind and soul. A year later, Harry uncovered something horrible within himself - a parasite.
So, when Voldemort sends him dreams of corridors and doors, Harry sends him pieces of hell in return.

Summary
"Let me get this straight," Maddie said. “You want to hunt me through the woods?"
“Yes,” Caitlyn reached for the cup of tea on her coaster, water steeped to a heavy gold as lavender perfumed the air. “Or rather, Vi wants to hunt you through the woods. I’m facilitating.”

Summary
What if, when the Great Dragon said that Mordred would 'kill' Arthur, he didn't exactly mean it the way it sounded?

Summary
“The scar is small, at least,” Pomfrey says, pulling the bandage snug around the cleaned wound. There’s a pity in her voice that makes Severus want to throw up again. “It will be easily covered.”
Dumbledore catches him inspecting it, as if mesmerized. “You are lucky to have survived at all,” the Headmaster says.
Severus does not say I don’t feel very lucky because it is stupid and obvious. Instead, he says unsteadily, “I want to press charges, sir.”
Pomfrey stills, tightening the bandage to the point of discomfort.
“Remus Lupin would be executed,” Dumbledore says. “The Ministry takes a dim view of werewolves who infect other wizards.”

savoir-vivre by consumptive_sphinx
Fandoms: Arthurian Mythology, Once and Future King Series - T. H. White

Summary
Objectively speaking, this second Camelot is less strange than the one Mordred calls home. It is a court, like any other, obsessed with gossip and scandal; time flows as time does, and the people here act as people do.
And yet.

Summary
The door creaks when they open it. In fact, the whole place creaks every time either of them moves. Galahad flicks on the lights; the bulb is about fifty years old, from the look of it, and it spurts and flickers like it’s on its last legs. The cabin is overgrown with flowers; there are beds with pink and orange lilies sprouting from the mattresses, bright purple morning glories creeping across the wall. It’s beautiful, except for the creaking and the flickering and the fact that they’re going to have to spend the night here and probably the devil will show up because when has anything ever gone well at this camp and oh, right, they’ve been set up to fail when he does.
Mordred drops his backpack and flops down on the floor, doesn’t put his weight on any of the furniture, and touches the petals of a pink lily almost absentmindedly. “It’s a bit of a fixer upper,” he says, then adds, “Could be a nursery,” purely to see if it’ll make Galahad laugh.
Or:
Two boys at Christian summer camp, in an abandoned cabin deep in the woods, here to face the devil.
Humans are more likely to kill you than the devil is, statistically. What could possibly go wrong?

and i am this great unstable mass of blood and foam by consumptive_sphinx

Summary
Agravaine debated for a day or so whether it was worth bringing up at all, and if so how to do it, and (because it’s Mordred, and Mordred hates when people try to talk around their actual point) what he settled on was “I notice you’ve been wearing more jackets the last few months.”
Mordred jumps and tenses up, and then goes deliberately relaxed again when he realizes who this is coming from. “Yeah,” he says, less an agreement than a challenge. “I have.”
A pause, in which Agravaine doesn’t say anything, waits for Mordred to get his words in order, because if he just pretends he didn’t notice how Mordred is half-prepared for a fight then probably there won’t be one.
-
or: Mordred has a lot of issues, and they don't always play nice with others.
