Tell me who I am now (I don't know) by EssayOfThoughts for umwelt

Summary
He remembers pain. He presses a clawed hand to his chest and through the thin cloth he feels the ridges and smooth sheens of scars. He remembers family, hears ringing laughter and echoes of familiar voices and his heart aches.
He remembers running in darkness, cold snow beneath bare feet and a familiar hand in his. He remembers a set of familiar eyes wide in pain before he fell and fell and didn’t get up.
Names are piecemeal. Words are fragmentary. The title he goes by- Percy? Percy-
There’s something missing.

Summary
Gwen's grin doesn't dim even a little. It's so wide she can completely see the little gap between her daughter's front teeth, the one that Percy insists makes her smile so endearing. Unfortunately, he is completely correct.

Peter Pettigrew and the Ghost of Christmas James by gonzoclock
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
25 Dec 2023
Tags
Summary
Peter loves his friends. Which is why he had to kill them. And now, he's doing- well. Alright. Things didn't turn out exactly as he'd anticipated, but he's making it work. Living his life. As a rat. Mostly trying not to think about things.
Fine. Things could be better.
But he hadn't thought they'd get worse- which is exactly what happens when, three years after James died, he's come back. And for some godforsaken reason, he's decided to make that Peter's problem. (Okay, okay- Peter gets it. He did kill him.) Peter is sure that James is going to turn him in, ruin his life the same as Peter had ruined the Marauders.
But this is James. And he doesn't do any of that.
What was Peter expecting, really?
(Features: A lot of fighting, a lot of forgiveness, and a splash of necromancy. Alright, you got me- rather a lot of necromancy. But come on- we can't just have the ghost of Christmas James show up. Haven't you seen 'A Muppet's Christmas Carol'? There needs to be at least two more ghosts.)

Summary
Harry finds a better life with the basilisk, but that doesn't mean it's easy. From inter-being feuds, to bloody prophecies, to elven unrest, Harry is in the eye of a hurricane that will change the wizarding world forever.
Involving thestrals, merfolk, house elves, centaurs, acromantulae, and various other friends, denizens, and allies.
This series is: Queer in a multitude of ways. Morally complex. A massively canon-divergent AU. Filled with oc's and non-oc's. A story about relationships, love, trust, friendship, healing ... and revolution.
There are seven novel-length fics, plus a prologue (to leap and love the fall) and two longer stories (with courage unyielding and the gentle sunlight). The short story collection to journey on contains shorter stories set within the main timeline. All are posted in the correct reading order.

Has such a lovely sense of childhood joy and innocence - not unlike Totoro! - and deeply enjoyable. Love the cultural worldbuilding.

Summary
Wen Qing returns to full consciousness the way she imagines babies emerge from the womb: bewildered by a rush of blurred shapes and incomprehensible sounds. She falls to her knees. The ground is soft green underneath her body. She takes long, shuddering gulps of air. A healthy infant would cry after birth; Wen Qing does not.
Wen Qing turns up at Dafan Mountain at the same time that "Mo Xuanyu" does. She can't remember the past thirteen years, and every time she tries, she ends up in incredible pain. There must be a curse at work. Fortunately, Sect Leader Jiang has offered her his unconditional assistance.

This hit a very specific spot I was hoping for when I went looking. No I'm not done watching The Untamed yet, but I know most of the spoilers and after the Wens went to Carp Tower I required The Comfort. I am so happy to have found this fic.

Summary
Percy knew it was over when Trinket growled at him. Not a threat, but a warning, generous, that he was not welcome. And so he lowered his hand from the door and turned back down the road.
Vex knew it was over when Cassandra cornered her. When asked, in a hush, what was going on, Vex realized she did not know. And so she said “Nothing, darling,” and did not seek help from a sister’s intuition.
--When Percy and Vex break up over the timeskip, they don't get back together. Several decades of pining later, when Percival needs to wed, Vex'ahlia offers her hand. They're friends. They can do this - right?
