    Summary

    “Aunt Petunia,” he said haltingly. “What makes a boy different from a girl?”

    Or:

    Harry has known for years that there was something different about him. He's just never had the words to explain just how unusual of a boy he is.

    Summary

    It's the beginning of second year and there's something off about Harry. His friends have noticed, his classmates have noticed, hell, even Severus Snape has noticed. Meanwhile, some new information has come to light that leads to Dumbledore asking something of his Potions Master, something Severus isn't quite sure he's qualified for. Nevertheless, Severus attempts to protect Harry from the threat of outside forces and maybe even face some demons that are a little closer to home.

    A Snape mentors/adopts Harry story. AU from the end of Philosopher's.

    Summary

    “Don't tell me you were this nonchalant when you were learning how to drive,” says Liam through his teeth over the rumble of the engine idling.

    “The Doctors got me a truck and then told me to drive to Beacon Hills and be back to the lab by nightfall or they’d take another kidney. I don’t know about you, but I rather prefer having a kidney. So what do you know, I learned how to drive real quick.”

    “Wait--Are you implying that you only have one kidney? Or did they take a kidney and replace it, and you’re referring to your second kidney, which may or may not be your original one, which I don’t even know how that would work because--”

    “Step on the fucking gas, Dunbar.”

    Theo moves as if to swat at Liam’s arm, and Liam yelps and stomps on the gas so the truck lurches forward and then teeters to a halt an impressive twelve feet down the street.

    “Wow, you’ve taken us out of state,” Theo says sarcastically. “Hooray.”

    --

    Or: Liam fakes not knowing how to drive so Theo will give him lessons and they can spend more time together. Predictably, his plan backfires.

    Summary

    “How…” Liam whispers. “How would you have done it?”

    “Quickly,” says Theo. He fixes his eyeline on the glimmer of the telephone poles under the moonlight several houses over so he doesn’t have to feel so gutted as he speaks. “I wouldn’t have made you suffer.” He pauses. “Not you.”

    “Even then?” Liam asks.

    “Even then,” Theo promises.

    “How would you have done it?” Liam prods again.

    Theo shuts his eyes. Soberness is returning to him rapidly, and it’s making his eyes sting.

    “Claws to the throat, probably,” he admits in the smallest of voices.
