Summary
These days, when Natasha thinks of Texas, she also thinks of Jake. She thinks of careworn burnt orange t-shirts and carelessly burnt pancakes because he kissed her too long. Kisses she loses herself in, touches she wishes she could bottle away for safekeeping. His fingers twined through hers, asleep in the middle seat so she can claim the window.
———
Taking it all in, he realizes it explains a lot about Natasha, that she grew up with the mountains and the sea and the sky as her backyard. Her thirst for adventure, her daring, her big hopes and uncompromising dreams were fed and nurtured by this expanse. Being here, seeing her with her friends and among the redwoods has unlocked another side of her—one he knew was there, but only just, and Jake is grateful for the chance to get to know this part of her.

Summary
Natasha Trace REALLY did not like Jake Seresin. She did not like him when they both started at USNA together. She did not like him when he accosted her in the rec room right before the winter break. She definitely didn't like him when he decided to play some tone-deaf prank and ask if she was adopted.
Except it turns out she was adopted.
She was adopted and so was Jake. Suddenly, it's looking more and more likely that she and Jake are long-lost twins.

Summary
There are many things in life that Bradley didn't expect. He never expected to be reunited with his godfather after cutting ties with him. He never expected to befriend the very people he fought against in TOP GUN. He didn't expect to participate in a suicide mission (he didn't expect to survive it, either). But the papers before him were something he never EVER considered happening to him. There was a 12-year-old kid out there, one who may not share Bradley's last name, but they share the same blood.
He had a kid.
Oh, God, he had a kid.

Summary
Jake's been chasing every one of Bradley Bradshaw's records for as long as he can remember. Bradshaw is a distraction during the competition, and there's nowhere for Jake to escape in the small circle of the swimming world.
But Jake's hell bent on carving an illustrious career complete with as many golds as he can muster. So he can handle it: can handle how the more times he and Bradley fall into bed together, the less capable he is of staying away.

Summary
Seresins are warriors. They die young, and they die bloody. They’ve got a debt somewhere one of them forgot to write down, and now the rest of them are paying the price.
Jake Seresin comes from a long line of fighters and desperados and gets an itch under his skin whenever he stops moving. Seresins are a law unto themselves, and great men have tried to make it otherwise and failed.
Bradley Bradshaw was born with roots so deep the shifting of the tectonic plates can’t move them. There are mountain ranges less stubborn and more self-aware than he is.
Javier Machado has beaten Bradley Bradshaw into the ground exactly three times in his life before the idiot finally realized. It might have been a bit extra, but Javy knows where all the bodies on the Seresin Ranch are buried.
(AKA this time Jake comes from a loving if tragic, family, and he and Bradley still can’t get it right the first time)

Summary
Imagine the horror Dumbledore felt when the first year check-in on Harry resulted in the Dursleys telling him they had no idea what he was talking about, as they never had the young Potter as their ward.
A toddler laughs joyfully, wobbling towards the woman who has crazier hair than he does. “Come here, itty-bitty-baby!” Bellatrix cackled, her eyes shining.

Summary
This is a story about the Ancient and Most Noble House of Black, or at least what is left of it. In 1987, Cassiopeia Black receives a shocking letter about a metamorphic child, who may or may not be a Black. From there, House Black has a choice: come together and overcome their differences or fade into obscurity.
This is a slow-burn fic with a lot of politics and POVs from all Blacks (including the usually forgotten ones). This is the perfect fit for those who love the Blacks, extensive world-building, and captivating mystery.

Despite the threat to his life the year prior, Harry's headed back to Hogwarts, to contend with infighting from his allies, rouge bludgers, incompetent teachers, and a headmaster who does not have his best interests at heart. And to brew a potion and complete a ritual meant for much more experienced wizards. Without anyone knowing.
After learning definitively that the Dark Lord's death was not permanent, Regulus is investigating the item he left in his father's confidence, and the potential that he's left more.

Summary
“What I find absolutely fascinating,” Riddle said, stalking closer, “is you.” He marched forward, backing Harry up until he was pinned to the cool wall of the common room. “Do you know why?”
“No. And I’ll be honest here, Riddle, I don’t particularly care.”
The taller boy grinned at him, small yet infinitely pleased. “That. Right there.” One hand rose and brushed some of Harry’s fringe from his face. “Nathan Ciro was a spineless little boy too afraid of his own shadow to dare even glance in my direction. But you…”
He leaned closer, “You look at me like you want to stab me.”
After an accident, Auror Harry Potter wakes up in the body of fourteen year old Nathan Ciro, a tormented Slytherin who recently tried to end his own life. Seeking answers to his strange predicament, Harry returns to Hogwarts, and causes quite the stir through staff and students - especially when they come to realise he is not the same boy as before.
He tries to avoid suspicion, but as his quest for the truth draws more and more attention to him, Harry begins to think that he might not like what he will discover.

Hermione’s plan backfires. Instead of swiftly navigating the diplomatic talks with the Muggle Minister and slowly introducing magic to Muggles, (to help with securing the balance in the wizarding world, of course), she ends up as a Parole Officer to none other than Draco Malfoy and other pureblood brats.

Summary
Before his third year of Hogwarts has even begun, Harry faces three whole weeks of unsupervised time in Diagon Alley. In that time he takes a trip to Gringotts - and that changes everything.
Burdened with the knowledge that Dumbledore has been blocking his family magic, and manipulating far more than he ever thought possible, Harry doesn't know who he can trust; but he knows he can't keep going that way. There's a whole world of lore and politics and history to catch up on, and the more he learns, the more Harry realises his true place in the world, and how much is being kept hidden from him. All the while, Dumbledore's twinkling eyes are constantly watching, and Harry can't let on how much he knows.
With help from unexpected places, Harry starts on a journey to end the war, and reshape the wizarding world. With how much he looks like James Potter, people have forgotten one important thing about him - he is Lily Evans' son, and she was one hell of a witch.

Summary
Sick of the Dursleys and resolved to missing his few friends if it means getting away from the people of the Wizarding World and their nosy whispers, Harry gets the idea to leave it all behind for a while, just a bit, just for a rest. Like a camping trip, except he’ll take enough provisions for a year or so...maybe some plants, seeds and things for a little garden. Maybe some time away from the things that weigh him down will help the constant highs and lows he’s been feeling for a while now. Just a little break.
(Or, the one where Harry says TTFN and takes himself off on an indefinite vacation and upsets a few very careful plans.)

Summary
It's not until the cupboard door swings open that Harry realizes he's not in his four-poster bed at Grimmauld sleeping off a hangover next to a naked and gratuitously busty Pansy Parkinson.
He's back in his cupboard with an incredibly irate Aunt Petunia staring down at him swinging a frying pan at his head.
He ducks, on instinct, and pulls the covers back over his head.
His hands are—he can't remember the last time they were that small.
What the fuck is going on?
*
It’s 12 years after the war has ended that Death sends Harry back in time to fix the timeline and save his soulmate.
Except there's one catch.
Harry has to start over again from his first year.
