Summary
Through the spite of the spirits or plain rotten chance, a door that would have been better left untouched has opened. On the other hand, with Fire and Earth as one's allies, sometimes escaping is the easy part.
Even the Dragon-King's temple floods.

The Prince of Slytherin by TheSinister_Man
Fandom Harry Potter - Fandom, Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
03 Feb 2026
Summary
Harry Potter was Sorted into Slytherin after a crappy childhood. His brother Jim is believed to be the Boy Who Lived. This will not be the story you expect; follow Harry through a changed world as he learns of a world that was hidden from him, battles prophecies kept from him, and finds a place in it all despite adversity.
Year Four (Harry Black and the Resurrection Game) is currently ongoing. No romantic pairings prior to Fourth Year. Basically good Dumbledore and Weasleys, with limited bashing (mainly of James). Eldritch magic, and occasional breaks from canon - always with a purpose.

Summary
Tim Drake is eleven years old when he’s grabbed off the streets of Bristol while he’s on his way home. It will be okay, he tells himself: they’ll call his parents, and they’ll pay the ransom, and he’ll get to go home.
There are pictures of Batman and Robin on the camera he was carrying. A lot of pictures.
They don’t call his parents. They call Black Mask.
-
or: the one where Black Mask kidnaps Tim and tries to groom him into a ruthless heir, and Tim tries to figure out how to destroy him from the inside out.General warnings tagged, anything not covered by those is in end-of-chapter notes to avoid spoilers.
