Title: Sleeping Dogs Lie
Disclaimer: J. K. Rowling and associates own these characters. I am writing this story for fun and not profit.
Rating: R
Pairing: Harry/Draco, past Sirius/Lily and James/Lily, background Ron/Hermione
Content Notes: AU, canonical child abuse, canonical character deaths, canon-typical violence, angst, drama, cousincest, canon pureblood bigotry
Wordcount: This part 5000
Summary: Harry has received comment after comment on his mother’s eyes during his first year at Hogwarts, but almost no one tells him he looks like his dad. When he opens the photo album Hagrid gives him at the end of the year and sees a man who looks like him standing with his parents in one picture—a man named Sirius Black—he begins to understand why.
Author’s Notes: This is one of my “From Litha to Lammas” fics, short chaptered stories being posted between the summer solstice and the first of August. Tarragon_Leigh requested a fic where Harry is Lily and Sirius’s son and finds out by looking at Hagrid’s photo album, along with its being Harry/Draco. This will have three to four parts.

[Songs of Summer]: Needs No Accuser, Harry/Cedric, Harry/Voldemort, R

Title: Needs No Accuser
Disclaimer: J. K. Rowling and associates own these characters. I am writing this story for fun and not profit.
Rating: R
Pairing: Harry/Cedric, implied Harry/Voldemort
Content Notes: AU (Cedric lives), angst, unreliable narrator, violence, discussion of torture, implied past underage, dubious consent, discussion of disfigurement
Wordcount: 4200
Summary: Cedric survived the graveyard, but Harry disappeared, and for the last four years Cedric has been plagued with guilt, searching for Harry obsessively. When Voldemort attacks the Ministry, Cedric, now an Auror, sees the figure at his right hand, and launches a rescue mission.
Author’s Notes: This is one of my “Songs of Summer” fics, one-shots being posted between the summer solstice and the first of August. This story is for a prompt by hoars, asking for Cedric/Harry and Cedric is declared the only survivor from that night, or so everyone claims, until Voldemort takes over the Ministry with a very familiar wizard by his side. I’ve altered the prompt a bit so that it’s an attack rather than a takeover, and while this might someday be a longer story, this shows only a flash of the relationship between Cedric and Harry. The title comes from the proverb, “A guilty conscience needs no accuser.”
