    Summary

    It’s Merida’s second year at the Skyfall Academy, and life is finally settling into something that almost resembles normal. She has friends. Her dragon, Seraphrax, is growing stronger by the day. The sky feels closer, the fire in her chest burns brighter.

    Of course, peace never lasts.
    At Hogwarts, students and ghosts are turning to stone, and somehow her twin brother’s ability to talk to snakes has everyone convinced both of them are the Heirs of Slytherin.

    Merida’s solution? Maybe she can just self-study her Hogwarts classes this year instead.
    …What do you mean that’s not allowed?

    Summary

    Severus Snape is the lead barista at a bougie coffeeshop in Diagon Alley. His coffee is top notch. The customer service… leaves something to be desired.

    Summary

    Draco’s eyes were closed, and he was breathing evenly. He looked so much like Narcissa that it broke Sirius’ heart. On instinct, he reached out to brush his blond bangs away from his forehead, only to find a raw, lightning-shaped cut on the skin. Sirius stared in horror.

    Summary

    Hermione Granger has never belonged. She never had friends, never had anyone to connect to, and even her parents, well, there is much to be said about that. She had hoped that going to Hogwarts and meeting fellow people like her would change that fate she had lived, but alas, she is as much an outcast in Gryffindor as she was in the Muggle world. That changed on October 31st when Harry Black, the pureblooded heir to the House of Black, single-handedly saved her from a troll. It was the start of a wonderful friendship that even now, two months later, was still going strong.

    Even as Hermione goes deeper and deeper into the Old Ways, learning the truth of the world and magic as Harry and those around him see it, there is something constantly looming behind her, something she desperately tries to ignore. But that cannot last forever. The clock is ticking down towards the moment where that specter can no longer be ignored, cannot be outrun, where the moment of her destruction is at hand.

    May the Ancestors Who Are Just help her and guard her.

    Summary

    Being reborn in the Wizarding World is simple. Use what you know to influence canon just enough so that you can be a star student, impress Hermione enough to steal her from Ron, maybe even be friends with Harry so that he doesn't have to go through everything alone as a bonus.

    Of course, that only works if you're a side character.

    Fate seems to have other plans.

    Summary

However the thought of boarding the train this year brings him no joy, but leaves him hollow and miserable. The castle's magic has already left him. He's his father's heir, he's his mother's son, so what can he do but bear it all, all the while longing for a song. Yearning for her song.

    Summary

    It begins and ends, much like in another life, for love of a woman.

    Voldemort never faced a choice between two prophesied boys, because one of them was born a girl. A girl, he believed, wasn’t much of a threat to a wizard like him.*

    *this decision aged poorly, in entirely new ways.

    Or: Ivy Potter grew up surrounded by love, with a predilection for chaos instead of heroism, while Neville Longbottom had a raw scar stretched across his forehead gifting him a serpent's tongue. And just like that, a new fate, an old fate, is sealed.

    Summary

    Some people’s only worries are their love lives.
    Harry would’ve preferred if his were, too.

    He never asked to be Dumbledore’s spy, Ginny Weasley’s emotional support, or the one juggling Slytherin politics.
    Unfortunately, he’s all three.
    Life has a talent for turning his plans upside down — and this time, it’s gifted him a new, imaginary friend.

    A sequel to Of Detentions, Green-Eyed Babies, and Dashing Slytherins.

    AU, where a powerful (realistic) and political Harry Potter adopts a similar ideology to Gellert Grindelwald.

    Summary

    The night of October 31st, 1981, ends not with the Boy-Who-Lived, but with a silence that shatters two hearts. This is not a story of survival, but of aftermath. It's the story of James and Lily Potter navigating a world where the crib is empty, where love has nowhere to go, and where grief becomes the only proof that their son, Harry, ever existed.
    A study of parental love, loss, and the unbearable weight of a phantom future.

    Summary

    Draco Malfoy survived the graveyard bargain—barely. In return for his life, the Dark Lord gave him a summoning compact and a reminder that failure is fatal.

    Now Draco’s juggling fifth year as a Prefect, head of the Inquisitorial Squad, and the Dark Lord’s newest unwilling apprentice. His mission? Find a way to Potter and report back, all while preparing for his O.W.L.s.

    But between the spying, the pressure, and the constant danger, the worst part of his year might just be the girl he absolutely shouldn’t be thinking about.

    Summary

    Canon divergent AU: Harry Potter died, while Neville Longbottom became the Boy Who Lived and little that followed stayed the same.

    Pansy thought being sorted into Gryffindor was rock bottom, until a troll incident had her inexplicably befriending Neville Longbottom and Ron Weasley of all people. Now she's handling toads, stalking suspicious professors through corridors, and discovering that spite makes for terrible life decisions but surprisingly solid friendships.

    Summary

    Walburga Black, of Number 12, Grimmauld Place, is proud to say that she is perfectly ghastly, thank you very much. She is fond of dark magic, uses divination to cheat at the Muggle stock market, and chain smokes. Too bad she’s incarcerated in Azkaban, otherwise she’d be a better parent than Aunt Petunia or Uncle Vernon on a good day.

    Harry Potter isn’t the Boy Who Lived. He’s just a boy, and an unlucky one at that. When the Dursleys leave him locked in his cupboard while they’re away on vacation, nine-year-old Harry finds himself at Grimmauld Place, where he is pulled into a world of Slytherins, magical tattoos, gothic manors, and corrupt aristocrats. Most importantly, it's there that he meets his first friend: Draco Malfoy.

    The sequel to The Rock and the Hard Place, but can be read separately.
