Summary
Or, "Just Because You Lived In A Cupboard For Ten Years, Harry, Doesn't Mean You Have To Stay In The Closet".
At the start of Harry's Fourth Year at Hogwarts, there's a lot on his mind. Sirius. The Quidditch World Cup. The Triwizard Tournament. Professor Moody. But being a fourth-year also means being fourteen, which can come with its own variety of discoveries and problems. When Harry discovers Wizarding attitudes to homosexuality, it leads to a gain of new friends, a loss of old ones, and maybe even the abandonment of Hogwarts itself.
(there's a lot of fics where Ron is an ignorant, prejudice homophobe, so i kind of wanted to turn that idea on its head. it evolved.)

Summary
At the end of his trying second year, all Harry wants to do it relax and ignore the fact that Aunt Marge is coming over. The last thing he expects to receive only days before his thirteenth birthday is a twelve-year old letter. Especially one from his mum.
Within it lies the truth of his heritage, his power, and his future, but how on Earth is Harry supposed to cope, if his parents are from Olympus?

Summary
When Harry’s wand gets stolen at the Quidditch World Cup, things go just a little different. A matter of chance. He loses sight of the Weasleys and Hermione and instead runs into Theodore Nott. This is what happens when two abused boys form an unlikely friendship that will, eventually, turn into more. A small chance encounter that would alter plans years in the making and disturb the course of wizarding history.

Summary
How many Hogwarts eighth year tropes can I fit in one fic?
All of them.There’s shared dorms, dancing. Crushes and cuddling. There’s hookups and hang ups; tattoos and trauma. And of course there’s an endless amount of PTSD and Potter, Potter, Potter…
Everywhere Theo Nott turns, there’s Harry Potter. It’s not… an unpleasant phenomenon and Theo doesn’t mind when Harry latches on to him… it’s just… does Harry kiss all of his friends? Because… Theo is rather confused.
I’m sure they’ll figure it out before the year ends. 🥰
