After a rather brutal beating given to him by his uncle on the eve of his birthday, Harry wakes to find something he had never thought possible. He wakes up to find a long snake tail instead of his legs. A few days later, his family abandons him in some random forest. What a wonderful way to start his 16th year of life after the worst year of his life. * Do not post to another site * Do not translate without permission *

This child was his responsibility, his to care for, his to love, the last part of his sister that walked this earth. “No.” He corrected the midwife who was staring at him, he could feel Howland’s eyes on him as well. “Lyliana.” Ned cleared his throat, feeling moisture build up in his eyes. Feeling like the last year was going to erupt from his eyes like a waterfall, one warm salty tear hit the babe’s cheeks from where she was swaddled, he let them come, let them fall from his long nose and land on the babe who cooed at him with wide eyes. “She is my daughter, her name will be Lyliana.” The Dragon Lives.

Just a monster of a fic with doctor!Derek and artist!Stiles, complete with a couple more Stilinskis and a gang of well-meaning friends running around trying to hook them up and keep them together.

Levi is an Alpha from a warrior tribe and Eren is an Omega from a pacifist tribe with two very different cultures. They meet and life as they know it changes in an instant.
