Sometimes, people have different priorities from what others expect of them. It can hurt their loved ones, even to the point of no return, but sometimes, it's okay.

Today's my birthday, and if wishes really do come true, I wish everyone forgets it.

Despite what he believes, I love my brother, and there's nothing in this world I wouldn't do to ensure he's safe, and that he's happy.

"Do you ever see me at the lunches or the dinners? Or with you lot, when you come over to play? I'm always just holed up here, hidden from the world. I'm an abomination, and they hate me for it."

Just one more. If what she said all those years ago is true, he only has one more kill left. It makes sense that this one is going to be him. Harry Potter. The Boy Who Lived.

And then Regulus is shooting a spell at him and they are duelling. They've duelled in the past, but this is different. This time, they are aiming to stop each other. Barty cannot, cannot let Regulus win now, lest he should lose him. [WARNING: Character Deaths!]

She loves him, and he abandons her. Or rather, he and the others make her leave. Still, she has a piece of him with her to remember him by. A crazy!Merope story. (Please see the warnings at the top.)

He might have been born a Black, but he was, first and foremost, Sirius. And no one else could tell him who Sirius was, or who he should be. [Warnings: Character death, some rather dark feelings, mentions of bullying and mind control.]

In a world where people can see the world in only black-and-white until they meet their soulmates, Sirius has never been able to see colours. But all is not what it seems! [Soulmate!AU]

This isn't the life he had envisioned for the two of them, but he will make do and make the best of it.

Family isn't always blood.

Kestrels : Seeker : QLFC : Season 8

A young child knows no differences, no discriminations, until said notions are imprinted upon them. What does it take for them to break out of it, if they ever can? [WARNINGS: Implied murder, mentions of blood, implied discrimination.]

Barty can't help but laugh. Of course he loves her. He doesn't voice it, though, because there is no need. The next few moments are spent in silence, and Barty simply draws comfort from her hold on him. "Don't wait for me," he finally says. "I know," she replies, "forever is our today." A tear trickles down her cheek. Barty kisses it away. [Warning: Character Death]

all it seemed to Bella was a tango to finding the worthy mate… for him.

A PercyKingsley I dunno who to blame for. [Warning: Character Death]

"No one can keep me where I don't wish to be, Granger. Now move."

…or the world where Slytherins didn't have masks to hide behind and actually were allowed to have fun. They're kids, too!

...or the world when they did defy him thrice, but they didn't win thrice. [Warning: Character Death]

Gellert's out for revenge from everyone who took his lover away from him. Even though they're read. [WARNING: Don't click if you don't want death, gore, hints at other stuff]
