baby birds and other adventures by dirgewithoutmusic
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
24 Feb 2017

Summary
Harry did not know this and would not know this until Mrs. Granger mentioned it casually over a Christmas dinner years and years later-- but she and Mr. Granger reported the Dursleys for child abuse and neglect, over and over.
The reports got lost-- minds scrubbed down, papers vanished-- but they kept calling in reports. They considered kidnapping. They couldn't imagine why the wizarding world might want to keep their chosen one somewhere so toxic, why they might want to keep this underfed child and his messy hair with those people.
"My mother left me a blood protection spell," said Harry, whose scar had not ached in years. He poked at his mashed potatoes under the focused attention of Mrs. Granger's stern little forehead wrinkle. "I had to live with family, blood family."
"Then they should have made them treat you right," Mrs. Granger said, as though it was that simple.
Mr. Granger gave Harry another helping of peas.

Summary
"One day, I will return and free all the slaves!"
Vader remembered when he promised that.
He hadn't yet returned to the desert, but that didn't mean he wouldn't keep his vow.
No matter what his Master did to him, that was an oath, he knew in his blood, he had to keep.

The Background Noise of Defiance by loosingletters
Fandom Star Wars - All Media Types, Star Wars Original Trilogy
16 Dec 2020
Summary
The Galaxy is a big place and you can find all kinds of obscure things on the holonet, including a blond teenager from Tatooine dragging the TIE-Fighter program through the sarlacc pit.
Or an Alternative Universe in which the galaxy gets saved because Luke has a youtube channel, everybody is on space twitter and Anakin Skywalker always returns to the light for his family.
Rebellions are loud and vibrant and social media is the most powerful weapon right next to a lightsaber.
