#getting even

Some fics with people enacting revenge schemes or otherwise trying to get even.

Caveat Inimici (FF) - "Hermione is a sister to Harry, a mother to Rose and Hugo, a wife to Ron...and a Legilimens and Unspeakable. She is also very, very angry. A look at a Hermione who developed the instincts she evidenced with Marietta and Umbridge. AU, but canon-compliant."

The Willing (AO3) - "During his eighth year, Harry discovers Theo Nott under the influence of Amortentia. He manages to stop anything from happening, but he can’t help feeling a little protective of him. It doesn’t help that Nott feels he owes Harry something, no matter how much Harry insists that there’s no debt between them."

Sakura of the Red Sand (AO3) - "Sasori hates Hatake Kakashi. He meets a young girl with reason to hate the man too, and finds the perfect opportunity for revenge. If he accidentally builds a family along the way, well. He always was exemplary at exceeding expectations."

turns to poison on their lips (AO3) - "After decades of watching Xanatos play Imperial politics and neglect his family, right up until Tura's death, Granta decides to take revenge on his father. The best way to do that is to make sure Xanatos never reaches the throne he covets, and for that purpose, Granta proposes a marriage alliance with one of the top contenders for the crown and Xanatos's political enemy, the vicious and deadly Marshal Commander Cody. Granta has it all meticulously, ruthlessly plotted out, with no room for error. It's too bad that falling in love with his husband was never part of the plan."

frost cannot touch plum blossoms in the snow (AO3) - "There were rumors that the Ghost King mercenary group leader Dabi was an exiled crown prince hell bent on retaking his kingdom or that he was the revenant of a crown prince driven to wreak vengeance for his fallen kingdom, that he worshipped some Eastern god of misfortune, and that he had made a deal with dark forces for strange powers. For the most part, Hawks thinks the rumors are probably mostly bullshit. What he knows is, Dabi is an asshole. A hot asshole who may have saved his life, but an asshole nonetheless."
