    Summary

    When Wylan found out about the Crows and Jan’s agreement, he didn’t scream. He didn’t cry. He didn’t make a scene, despite the fact that everyone had been expecting him to. He simply turned around and walked.

    He walked all the way to the harbor, where he got on the first ship that would take him.

    Anything had to be better than staying in the Barrel for another second.

    Or: The one where the Crows screwed up, and Wylan ends up in the Little Palace where he discovers his worth.

    Summary

    They’re kind of in the thick of the shit when the truth of Wylan’s identity comes out. No one really asks any questions, just takes the information at face value and moves along.

    One of Wylan’s first nights in the barrel, a street merchant had laughed at Wylan as he stopped to offer a girl with messy hair and dirt smeared across her face half of the loaf of bread he’d just purchased. As he’d stooped down to offer it to her and check her over for injuries, her twin brother had bustled behind him, looting the rest of the measly krudge from Wylan’s pocket. When he’d crossed the street to the merchant to buy some fruit the merchant had chuffed he didn't have any krudge to offer. Wylan frantically searched his pocket only to come up empty handed.

    “You gotta assume the worst about everyone in the barrel kid. ‘Cause you gotta be at your worst to end up in the dirty barrel.” The merchant offered him a dropped and bruised apple and sent him to scurry off. The kids have taken the money he’d been carrying to pay for his boarding for the week.

     

    Or, the five times the crows are mean to Wylan after finding out his true identity, and the one time they try to make it up to him.

    Summary

    Harry Potter was starving on a train platform when Emilia Prince-Peverell found him.

    Everything changes after that.

    Now ancient houses are awakening, goblins are getting involved, Slytherin has adopted the Boy-Who-Lived, and Emilia is rapidly becoming the most terrifying political force magical Britain has ever seen.

    Unfortunately for Voldemort, Emilia loves her family more than she fears death.

    And love, as it turns out, is far more dangerous.
