Summary
In a world that still considers alphas the protectors, betas the every-day masses to fill out the ranks, and omegas as homemakers and glorified objects, Tony Stark is born.
Tony is born an omega in a world where that means he’s a homemaker, a provider, with limited opportunities and a lack of autonomy.
Tony says fuck that, no matter what the rest of the world is telling him.
As the Rogues return, Tony is left dealing with the world coming down around his ears. The Accords, Aliens, and, of course, the alpha who somehow just moved into his life.Series

Summary
There was another student here.
Tom recognized him vaguely—while transfer students were not necessarily uncommon due to the war, they were rare enough to at least make an impression. This particular transfer student was in his year, sorted into Ravenclaw after an impressively long hat stall. He looked like he might be descended from the Potter line, but he did not share the surname so his lineage was of no particular interest to Tom. Nothing about him was of particular interest to Tom, in fact, and yet here he stood, holding the book that Tom had come here to find.
It would be a good time to turn away. The Restricted Section was restricted for a reason—only books documenting extremely dangerous or extremely advanced magic were stored here.
Tom’s feet, however, suddenly felt as if they were made of lead. It wasn’t magic keeping him tied down, but something far more mysterious like curiosity or even fate. In any case, the delay was all it took for the Ravenclaw to lift his chin and meet Tom’s eyes.
This Ravenclaw, Tom realized, had eyes as blindingly green as the Killing Curse.

Summary
Harry walks to the Forbidden Forest with a newfound sense of self-preservation, a skill he knew once in early childhood but had somehow lost upon arriving in the magical world. But it was back with a vengeance, and Harry would not relinquish it again. He would survive, dammit, if it was the last thing he did. AU from “The Prince’s Tale” on. Eventual Harrymort.

Summary
When Petunia first abandons Harry to the cupboard under the stairs, a paroxysmal reaction of magic sends the infant back through time to the relative safety of 1963. Recovered from the site of a magical hailstorm in Surrey, he is adopted into the Potter family.
Or—
Harry Potter is entering his sixth year at Hogwarts. With less than satisfactory OWL results and a war brewing just outside the school walls, he has plenty to contend with . . . the last thing Harry needs is to catch the attention of the rising Dark Lord.
