I'm looking for a couple of stories that I can't seem to find, due to forgetting their names.

The first is an AU, with Black as the Potter's secret keeper. Black is attacked in his apartment, and surrenders the location of Godric's Hollow to Voldemort after being tortured. Contains Assassin!Gay!Wormtail. It's revealed later on that Black was actually a double agent after all.

In the second, Harry perfects wandless summoning and banishing charms, to the extent that he visualises the magic as an extra pair of hands.

I read these some time ago, so I can't really say how good they were, although I remember enjoying them at the time.

They were both fairly long; at least 50k words.

Any assistance is appreciated.

 

just NO

and you're looking for A Black Comedy or something similar that ripped it off.

 

Shinysavage's series if I'm remebering correctly?

Wow, that was fast. Thanks for the help, that's both of them.

 

Then why did he have to be tortured at all?

 

That right there, reminds me of the terribad story in which they send Harry to Azkaban for being gay when he isn't, but he has a secret, he is gay.

So basically, it's a writer throwing a "twist" in massive asinine fashion.

 

It's made to look like he was tortured, so that he wouldn't be caught.

Bad choice of words on my part, sorry. I'm not sure that it matters, though, as both the stories I was looking for were found.

 

Might you be talking about Nonjon's A Black Comedy?

 

:facepalm

They've already been found, thanks. But yes, that was it.
