Naruto experiences first hand death through every breath in and every breath out, through a loss so fathomless it taints his world gray, but past has a funny way of catching up and Sasuke somehow takes the plunge to call him out on his bluff. Because, for once, Sasuke is the one who helps Naruto save himself.)
The twist? "I think Naruto is haunted by a friendly ghost."

His war began a long time ago.
“Don’t what, Granger? Don’t tell you what it was like? But everyone else wants to know. Does it hurt your fable on how all Death Eaters think this thing is a gift? On how we’re all willing to serve him forever, until death do us part? How we’re all sadistic shits who get off on torture and pain?”

“You’re mine, and I’m yours, right?” It was barely a whisper.
That’s right, but… Something about that tone chilled him to the bone. “Mmhm.”
“My perfect angel. My Sun.”
That was new. The goosebumps were also new. And when did it get so cold in here? The tone was just chilling, and he couldn’t pinpoint exactly how. “Kookie?”
“Hm?” He couldn’t move and felt like a rag doll as he was pulled into Jungkook’s lap.
“I love you.” That always calmed him down. When he got…like this. In a state that made Jimin fear something was bubbling up to the surface. But he didn’t know why now. Nothing was agitating him.
“I love you too. I don’t know what I’d do without you. I couldn’t handle it.”
“Would… You wouldn’t ever hurt me, right?”

Summary
Donghyuck knew he was lucky.
Extremely lucky even. How many Hybrids could say they had been bought by a wealthy family, that had treated them with nothing but respect and showered them in love? Not many.
He had been given the chance to push down boundaries and to challenge the system that abused Hybrids as lesser beings. There was no excuse for failure! He had no room to slack off when others like him suffered!
So why could he not shake the demons that haunted him, why could he not forget and overcome this anxiety that made him wake up in a cold sweat and gasping for air?
Why was he so weak when he didn‘t want to be?

"You feelin' comfy, buddy?"
I can hear DJ's soothing, yet goofy voice from next to me. I smirk, as I curl myself tighter into the ball I'm in.
"I'm fuckin' fried, dude."
It hurts to talk a little because of how much talking I've done today, and also because of how raw my throat feels from the chronic purging, but I really want to try to cherish the time I have with these two before they're kicked outta here.
I can hear a light laugh coming from DJ, as he pats my back. "That's why you're here." He smirks playfully. "Everyone's gonna help ya, James. You won't feel so fried from small things forever, I promise."

Summary
"I'm the only one that can give you want you really want." Harry spun Draco around and held his arms at his side and he pressed against his back, whispering against his throat. "That can force you, that can humiliate you… that can hurt you, and you want it. You want me."
Harry is having a bad day. Draco just cannot learn to keep his mouth shut. Neither of them would have predicted it would lead to this.
This was supposed to be a filthy dirty one shot pwp, but actually seems to have developed a plot all on its own. It is kind of one of those super powerful Harry stories, and I do so love tormenting Draco.
It does end up going a bit dark/twisted, but Harry is still on the 'good' side. My Harry is sometimes violent, frequently unstable, but never evil.This story is a repost of a deleted story and is already complete - I'm editing / fixing up it up and will post chapters as they are edited.
This story is like my Harry Potter guilty pleasure :D
