Summary
“Such ego,” Harry breathes out shakily, though his voice trembles with strain.
Riddle grins, and with deliberate intimacy brushes a finger along Harry’s cheek, the touch soft and horrifying in equal measure, “Whatever happened to you, Hadrian…get over it. I’m going to be so much worse.”
Or
Harry Potter dies, and Hadrian Peverell survives. Tom Riddle is just what comes next, or perhaps, what was always there.

Summary
"And then, he looked up from where the Boss lay and saw Steve Randle standing over him, hot and sweaty. He clutched his side, shirt staining red. Then Steve's head snapped over to him, and Ponyboy didn't know if he had ever seen Steve so mad before.
"'You ,' he spat venomously. His finger jutted out. "Where the hell’ve you been?!"
Ponyboy's mouth dropped open. He pushed himself up on his good arm. 'You can't be serious! I just saved your life! A thank you would be nice!'
'You don't get it!' Steve stepped forward so that he was towering over him. Ponyboy did his best to seem as defiant as possible, meeting his wild gaze. "Three months, Ponyboy. You have been gone three months, and you, what, show up now? Glory, you always have shitty timing, ya know that? Coulda returned at any time, and you chose tonight of all things.'"
--
It takes Ponyboy Curtis two days to run away.
It takes three months for him to come back to Tulsa.
It takes one night for him to decide to stay.

🚗💨“Ponyboy clenched his jaw and looked back up at Dallas, steeling himself. “Fine,” he responded and then, in one smooth motion, tapped the shoulder of the girl who had been pressing against him as she made out with her boyfriend, causing her to whip around. The girl barely got a word in before Ponyboy curled his hand and swung hard and fast. The girl cried out, clutching her nose.
She was being dramatic, honestly. He had barely tapped her.
‘Baby!’
The guy, who had his back turned to them, peered around, and then wrapped an arm around her protectively. His teeth were a row of gold and black. ‘Who the fuck—!’
‘He did it!’ Ponyboy shouted, pointing a finger at Dallas.
Dallas groaned. ‘Oh, you little–.’
The guy threw his punch, cracking it right across Dallas’ cheekbone.
And that’s when things went from bad to worse.” 🦴

Ponyboy runs away, leaving behind Johnny at the church. Regardless the destination, all roads lead home.𖤓 One of my absolute favorites already. The unreliable narrator Ponyboy strikes once again. The angst and tension in this one goes HARD. Writer does a beautiful job of descriptions in imagery and pacing of sentences that just linger in your mind, they capture the speech of the characters so damn well.

Bookmarker's Notes
🌙 🥃"Five only needs one.
The gun is shoved onto the desk and Five yanks the chamber handle backwards, mechanically handling and reloading the gun as easy as breathing.
It’s really inconvenient to have to shoot himself with a gun so long.
He heaves it around, awkwardly trying to maintain the grip on it as he aims it towards the side of his head, ignoring the sounds of panic drawing nearer.
He pulls the trigger just as an arm reaches out to grab him.
It all happens in an instant. The gun shoots, deafening in its proximity. Instead of darkness, there’s a sudden grating explosion of metal on metal grinding, and an explosion of heat near Five’s hand holding the barrel. The momentum propels him backwards off balance, the gun being thrown from his hands as the bullet rips through the bottom of the gun and embeds itself into the floor.
Someone catches the back of his arms as he falls, supporting his weight so he doesn't crash to the floor. Five stares in shocked disbelief, chest heaving at the discarded gun and the bent hole now smoking at the bottom of it.
And then he’s being yanked back up and turned to come face to face with Diego’s wide-eyed stare, frantic with fear.
'What ARE YOU DOING!?' Diego screams as Five stares dumbly into his eyes before he’s inevitably distracted by the horrendous mottling of dark bruising that’s already bloomed onto his brother’s face, crimson scabbing above his lip. "Say something Five!" he shouts, hands brushing over Five’s face, feeling his head, tilting his jaw.
What."🔫

Five keeps waking up on the day of Reginald Hargreeves Funeral. For better or worse, the family always comes back together.𖤓 This fic is so freaking good. Fives Voice here is absolutely spot on and in character, and you can absolutely tell when he starts losing it in some of the timelines. Writers timing and pace is amazing here and I highly recommend reading this if you love Groundhog Day/ Time loop AUs.

Summary
The last thing Peter sees is Tony's horrified, heartbroken expression leaning over him. The guilt in his eyes is almost worse than the burning pain that's taking Peter apart piece by piece. The world starts to go dark.
There's a flash of gold and green. For one moment, he finds himself standing amongst the Guardians and others. And then darkness again. It feels like blinking; an extended period of nothingness that ends as abruptly as it begins. One moment there’s nothing, the next there’s light.
“Easy,” a woman says. Her words are gentle, and carry a slight accent that he can’t place. "I'm called Wonder Woman. What's your name?"

Summary
“What I find absolutely fascinating,” Riddle said, stalking closer, “is you.” He marched forward, backing Harry up until he was pinned to the cool wall of the common room. “Do you know why?”
“No. And I’ll be honest here, Riddle, I don’t particularly care.”
The taller boy grinned at him, small yet infinitely pleased. “That. Right there.” One hand rose and brushed some of Harry’s fringe from his face. “Nathan Ciro was a spineless little boy too afraid of his own shadow to dare even glance in my direction. But you…”
He leaned closer, “You look at me like you want to stab me.”
After an accident, Auror Harry Potter wakes up in the body of fourteen year old Nathan Ciro, a tormented Slytherin who recently tried to end his own life. Seeking answers to his strange predicament, Harry returns to Hogwarts, and causes quite the stir through staff and students - especially when they come to realise he is not the same boy as before.
He tries to avoid suspicion, but as his quest for the truth draws more and more attention to him, Harry begins to think that he might not like what he will discover.

Bookmarker's Notes
⚰️🌟 “‘You’re lying. You’re trying to trick me. I don’t fucking believe you.’
Death stared at his finger, considering it, and listening to Harry’s frantic breathing. Those grey eyes dragged over his hand, down his arm, along his chest and then up to meet his own.
It let out a sigh that turned into a chuckle, and smiled.
The being wearing Nathan Ciro’s face leaned in close.
‘I eat stars, Harry Potter. What makes you think that a mere human would ever be able to command me?’” 🌌

Told from the eyes of a Hardened Auror, Harry Potter swaps lives after falling off a roof with a 14 year old bullied boy named Nathan Ciro who decided to commit.Set during Tom Riddle’s period at Hogwarts, Harry seeks to go under the radar only to discover things aren’t what they seem about his new family.
𖤓 Reading this fic is the equivalent of ascending to Heaven. The subtlety yet underlying tones of mystery that lie underneath the surface with this fic are astounding. The reveal of the time travel aspect of the story was devastating. A real masterpiece.
