    Summary

    The babe wailed, a pink and disgruntled, fresh from his mother's cradling womb and held in shaky hands now. Little Belletrix peeks inside, her hands gripping the doorframe. She should have been in bed hours ago, but there she sits after being woken up by the agonized cries of her mother. When he stumbles next to the bed, he finds Druella’s eyes quivering in worry, the babe no longer held in her arms but craddled in the hold of Great Britain's most terrifying Dark Lord. The lord's face is flat, but there’s a barely there softness in his maroon eyes, a hunch to his spine as he tilts his head downward to look at the baby's face. The air in the room vibrates as the lord parts his lips in a whispered breath, “Hadrian. That will be his name.”
    Wicked Wallburga, or not so affectionately named Wailly, smirks, “A very noble name, my Lord, quite a grand name indeed.”

    Summary

    Peter Parker hates the Avengers of his world. They're not the heroes they once were.

    When a plan to take them down goes wrong, Peter is thrown into another universe where, not only are the Avengers the heroes they should be, people are classified as alphas, betas or omegas.

    The Avengers are a well known pack of alphas and betas, and Peter Parker is the omega they've been waiting for.

    Now, not only does Peter have to adapt to his new life and home, he must also deal with the alternate versions of the people he hated all desperately trying to woo him.

    Summary

    Harry Potter has dealt with a lot of nonsense in his life.
    Becoming an omega in a completely different timeline?
    Yeah, that’s new.
    Especially when the first alpha he meets is Tom Riddle. Alive, gorgeous, smug, and far too interested in the confused omega wobbling in front of him.
    Harry’s trying to find his team, keep his dignity, and resist Tom’s stupid unfair face. It’s not going well.

    Summary

    Two weeks ago, he'd been Harry Potter, unremarkable boy living with his aunt and uncle, notable only for the strange things that sometimes happened around him. Things he couldn't explain and didn't talk about.

    Then a Ministry official had witnessed him accidentally vanish a pane of glass at the zoo, and everything changed.

    "Underage wizard, fallen through the cracks," the woman had said, her wand already out to modify the Dursleys' memories. "Happens sometimes with Muggle-raised children. You should have received your Hogwarts letter at eleven, Mr. Potter."

    "I'm fifteen," Harry had said stupidly.

    "Yes. We'll need to sort that out."

    OR

    Harry Potter never got his Hogwarts letter.

    At fifteen, he's offered a deal: three years of Domestic Service in exchange for a magical education.

    Domestic Service means only one thing at Hogwarts, and Harry is about to discover what that is.

    Meanwhile, Draco Malfoy has grown up at Hogwarts, waiting for his father to see him as something other than a child.

    Harry's arrival does not help.
