Harry Potter was supposed to be a savior, a symbol, a soldier. But what if he chose something else? Smarter than Hermione. Louder than prophecy. Fluent in five languages and fluent in none of your expectations, Harry stops playing the game when the Triwizard Tournament hijacks his life-and starts rewriting the rules instead. Nicknaming professors, betting with teachers, talking down dragons, befriending Slytherins, and building a secret network of chaos and theory, this is a Harry who chooses his own path: stranger, kinder, and utterly his. From dueling Bellatrix in games of magical tag to founding a student think tank with Luna, Theo, and Daphne, The Wild Card King is an alternate universe where Harry fights war with wit, wins with laughter, and rebuilds a world too broken to fix with anything but joy. This is not the Harry you knew. This is the one who laughed at death-and meant it.

Being named after the stars is a common thing, being able to shine like one is not. But, a change from Nick Fury's personal super assassin to being under the watch of Tony Stark and the other Avengers was as abnormal as you could get. Stella, with the power to manipulate any energy she can see, and blood on her hands since birth, tries to fit in in the unnervingly caring eyes of Tony Stark, who has decided, above anything else, that this kid will be his. Or, Tony Stark has a problem not adopting troubled and parentless children, especially ones that shine brightly once he enters a room.
