Title: Stronger Than Sunlight
Disclaimer: J. K. Rowling and associates own these characters. I am writing this story for fun and not profit.
Rating: PG-13
Content Notes: AU (Harry didn’t grow up with the Dursleys), discussion of canonical child abuse, Slytherin Harry Potter, angst, drama, present tense
Pairings: None, gen
Wordcount: 3800
Summary: Everything goes smoothly with Harry’s Hogwarts letter, enough that Dumbledore never needed to send Hagrid to escort Harry to Diagon Alley. But things stutter to a halt for several observers when Harry arrives at Hogwarts for his Sorting.
Author’s Notes: This is one of my “Songs of Summer” fics, short stories being posted during summer between the solstice and the first of August, and primarily intended as one-shots. As a result, I don’t know if I will continue this or not.

[From Litha to Lammas]: Immaculate, 1/6, NC-17, Tom/Harry

Title: Immaculate
Disclaimer: J. K. Rowling and associates own these characters. I am writing this story for fun and not profit.
Pairing: Harry/Tom, others in the background
Content Notes: AU (no Voldemort), trauma, angst, blackmail, emotional manipulation, sexual humiliation, Occlumency, Legilimency, drama, Slytherin Harry
Rating: R
Summary: AU. Voldemort never existed. Harry was in Slytherin at Hogwarts, but failed most of his OWLS and left after fifth year. Now, semi-estranged from his family, he works in a low-level job at the Ministry, unknowingly using intense Occlumency simply to survive from day to day. Master Legilimens Tom Riddle, called to the Ministry to interrogate a criminal, finds himself more than intrigued by the young man with a quiet mind and deep secrets.
Author’s Notes: This is one of my “Litha to Lammas” fics being posted between the summer solstice and the first of August. It will most likely have six chapters. Note that while the blackmail and sexual humiliation discussed in the content notes don’t take place between Tom and Harry, they will come up, and that this is a very dark fic.
