Summary
Tom Riddle, Hogwarts’s beloved Defense professor, doesn’t know what happened to his top student Harry Potter over the summer, but by Merlin he’s going to find out. The normally brash and cheerful boy is now jumpy and haunted-looking, refusing to make eye contact in class and avoiding him in the corridors. Tom has seen enough traumatized and abused magical children to recognize the signs, and he won’t rest until he’s helped Harry and ensured his safety, just as he’s done for so many before him.
Meanwhile, Harry doesn’t know how he woke up in a parallel universe where the Dark Lord is teaching Defense and has the whole world hoodwinked. But he’s the savior, damnit, and he’s going to protect this world—and his now-alive parents—even if he has to do it alone. No matter what unconventional tactics Voldemort is using now.
A story of good intentions, miscommunication, and straight-up shenanigans.

Summary
"[Alex] would find himself bloodied and bruised but relatively unharmed somewhere he could safely be found. Not retrieved, because the first time Yassen had activated his beacon he had been more than a little furious to find him still there 12 hours later."
-A Gentlemen's Agreement by Valaks

This is the story of those twelve hours, how they came to be, and what came after.

Summary
Solitary. In the confinement of his cell or his entire life? He could no longer tell.
Alex Rider’s luck had finally ran out and 3 months later he was still held prisoner in the Moroccan arms dealers base. He had embarked on countless escape attempts which had all been foiled. The next best option was to get to a phone to contact MI6’s emergency number. It would have been a success if:
1. He wasn’t drugged senseless
2. He could actually remember making the call
3. He had indeed called MI6 and not someone else…
