    Summary

    While innocently and illegally exploring the bunker one day, Dess Holiday discovers a kid monster unlike any she's seen before. It's furless. It's faceless. It's gray. And it seems like it's waiting for something to arrive.

    Without any better ideas, she calls the local kindergarten teacher for help.

    “Mizzus Dreemurr? Hey, uh. Hi. Weird question. Do you know any monsters in town that are, like... gray?"

    "...What do you mean, it's a HUMAN?"

    (Or, a fic where the discarded vessel ends up dumped in Hometown before any of the story takes place, and gets taken in by a local Dreemurr family.)

    Summary

    Left to cope with the recent loss of his godfather, Harry wanders outside of the wards secured around Privet Drive and finds himself in the care of a furious Professor Snape. Forced together in a run-down house in Spinner's End, Harry and Severus face their greatest challenge yet: surviving each other.

    Set after OotP, no slash, fic centered around Sevitus relationship, lots of angst, slow-burn enemies-to-mentor fic :)

    Summary

    “Is this Dean Winchester?” The voice that comes shakily through the phone is equal parts familiar and strange, and Dean can’t place it.

    “Yup.”

    “Uh. This is, uh, it’s Ben.”

    Dean swallows hard. He doesn’t have to ask for elaboration—his voice has changed over the years; he must be, god, he must be in his twenties now—but he can still hear that little boy he used to know somewhere in there. Dean has, over the years, pushed down every single thought of Ben and Lisa that tried to surface, but he’s never been able to forget them.

    His voice comes out strangled when he says, “Ben?”

     

    Or: the memory spell didn't work as well as expected, Ben remembers Dean after all, and calls him like 10+ years later with a case
