    Summary

    The girl stood still. There was a gentle tap-tap echoing in the air as she observed the room. Her fingers were wet, and her toes squished unconsciously into the puddle beneath her, an age-old habit from a childhood spent playing in the water. It was wildly inappropriate in the current situation, her mind helpfully pointed out.

    Tap tap tap.

    The noise mocked her. She inhaled a breath, disrupting the sound, and turned her eyes away from the tableau before her. Her fingers clenched into fists. Unhelpful, she couldn’t help but notice. The skinny little hands that sat at the end of her equally short arms were virtually useless. Tiny fingers unable to clench anything, palms to small to hold anything. Useless.

    Tap tap tap.

    The girl inhaled again, flexing bloody fingers into the cold air. She eyed the floor once more, or more accurately, the bloody mess that covered the floor. Her toes squished again.

     

    OR: A girl is promptly horrified to learn that she has been reborn into Hannibal universe and is fairly certain of her impending death. She really shouldn't have gotten attached to the man that is now apparently her father.

    Summary

    Six years ago, Lucerys and Aemond blew up their families and the kingdom when they suddenly eloped to Driftmark and took themselves out of the battle for the throne. No one knows how or why they got together, but their marriage is valid, and their refusal is firm. But now the years of estrangement are about to come to an end when they are summoned back to court to once more pick sides in the ongoing battle for the crown. Unfortunately for their families, though, the side they pick is not the one anyone was expecting.

    Tldr: Luke and Aemond are reborn and decide to live their lives for themselves this time around. Neither their families nor the realm is prepared for the consequences of this decision.

    Summary

    It had been years since Lucerys had been forced to give up his son, the result of a union between he and Aemond after an encounter at Storm's End, but he had thought about the child every single day since the moment he had held him in his arms.

    The war was over after years of battle and he had heard rumours of a young dragon keeper at Dragonstone with a exceptional affinity for dragons.

    Well one specific dragon.

    His dragon.

    Summary

    “No post on Sundays” Uncle Vernon announced happily, “No damn letters today-”
    Something came whizzing down the kitchen chimney as he spoke and caught him sharply on the back of the head. The next moment, thirty or forty letters came pelting out of the fireplace like bullets.
    “That does it!” he snapped, his beady little eyes focused solely on Harry, “It’s you that they want. And they won’t stop coming after us until you’re… gone”.
    Harry didn't like the sound of that.
    “But Vernon, we can’t! You heard what that- that despicable old man told us!”
    “Don’t worry, pet” Vernon said, his nasty grin triumphant, “I’ll leave him someplace so far away that those freaks will never trace him back to us. There’s an institute up north, for these- these hopeless cases and whatnot - St Brutus's Secure Centre for Boys. I’ll leave him there, and then we can get back to our nice, normal life”.

    Or, the one where Harry doesn't attend Hogwarts in first year but finds his way to the wizarding world anyway, and this changes everything.
