    Summary

    When Hagrid arrives to the hut out at sea, to wish Harry a happy birthday and retrieve him for school shopping, he never expected the boy to be so small and so completely alone.
    As death encroached, intent to collect the Boy-Who-Lived, Harry never expected God to answer his prayers or send him such a large angel.

    -----

    Since Harry Potter was left on his aunt’s doorstep, love has been a stranger. Branded an abnormality in the Dursleys’ pristine world, he’s confined to a cupboard, his accidental magic a curse sparking fear and punishment. When Harry’s power shatters their fragile normalcy, he’s abandoned in a desolate shack at sea, left to die in isolation. Miracles don’t come for a boy marked by darkness, not even on Christmas, but when an Angel’s whisper promises salvation, Harry glimpses hope—a new home at Hogwarts, where magic hums like starlight he can taste. Yet, haunted by a secret specter and a cursed legacy, Harry fears this fresh start may unravel, binding him forever to an eternal shadow.

    Summary

    She lost her magic slowly, at first.

    It started as a creeping deadness somewhere low in her abdomen.

    It spread outward like necrosis into her chest and her head and her limbs. She had no recollection of when, exactly, it had begun.

    ~

    Hermione has made a name for herself in the Order as a gifted inventor of spells. As the war careens into its seventh year, she fights to keep Harry alive by developing a potion that strengthens his magic to the detriment of his physical health. Wracked with guilt at his rapid deterioration and desperate to save his life, she risks liaising with Draco Malfoy, the head inquisitor in Voldemort’s secret police force and a talented but dangerous Legilimens. Her risk does not go to plan, and after enduring months of brutal captivity, she loses her capacity to do magic.

    To her dismay, Malfoy now seems to be her only hope of regaining her former ability.

    A dark, slow-burn war AU about trauma, recovery, and reclamation of feminine power

    Summary

    Harry Potter never made it back from the graveyard. Captured after the Triwizard Tournament, he endures torture and abuse that shatters whatever faith he had left in the world that made him its Chosen One.

    This is not a story of hope. This is not a story of healing. It is the story of a boy who has had enough, of prophecy, of responsibility, of the Wizarding World itself.

    Summary

    A pause, weighted. "You’d be wiser to fear that storm."
    “I am the storm.” Behind her, crows swarm the skeletal branches, bending them under their weight. Daylight withers beneath their wings, swallowed until only slivers of light remain. Hundreds of red eyes glare down at him. “The first. The last.”

    Summary

    I have seen your heart, a familiar voice whispered, high and cold, and it is mine.


    Harry Potter thought he was no longer an Obscurial until a meeting with Voldemort ripped open old wounds. Turns out, he thought wrong, and the Obscurus's power has only grown with his.

    Ruby finally embraces her Seer abilities and T. M. Riddle finds himself nearing the conclusion of a journey that begun more than fifty years ago. Hogwarts becomes more dangerous than ever as dark forces threaten to penetrate it once again. Meanwhile, Lily Evans may have one last card to play from the afterlife...

    Lord Voldemort makes a last push to defeat his old teacher and decide the fate of the wizarding world. Both the Order and the Death Eaters prepare themselves for the incoming chaos, but beware… not everyone can be trusted; regardless of what side you're on.

    Summary

    Evryn Beckett is a greaser with a cigarette habit, a switchblade, a sharp tongue, and something dark curling under her skin. Magic was never supposed to be like this, violent, wrong, explosive. She’s an Obscurial, barely keeping it together. Then Dumbledore shows up, disrupting her life. Hogwarts offers her a chance, but it’s a gamble. Most Obscurials don’t live past childhood. Evryn doesn’t plan to be the exception. She doesn’t need saving. But then the Marauders, loud, reckless Gryffindors, pull her into their chaos, unaware of the monster she is. War is coming, and she possesses magic she doesn’t even want. But when one life is taken, the course of history bends, friendships shatter, and people ride the fine line between good and evil.

    Summary

    Harry walks through the Forbbiden Forest, walking to his death. What he doesn't expect is that when Voldemort's killer curse hit him, he doesn't die.

    Instead, he is sent to the past, exactly to the summer of 1899. There he will meet the young, and very attractive, versions of his Headmaster, Albus Dumbledore and of the Great Dark Wizard of the last century, Gellert Grindelwald.

    Now, getting stuck between this two important figures and their problems, Harry has to choose what will he do. Will he look for a way to return to his time without touching the past? Or will he prefer to stay and change everything from the beginning?

    Summary

    Regulus Arcturus Black is dead.

    He might still breathe, and his heart has yet to stop, but Regulus Black is dead.

    He's dead because Regulus has no plans on living past his sixth year of Hogwarts, and he's dragging his entire family (sans Sirius, Narcissa and Andromeda) and over half the pureblood population down with him.

    While he waits for his end, Regulus finds out that being dead grants someone an unexpected lack of hesitation to do stupid things.

    But hey, can you really blame a dead boy for wanting to live a little?

    **

    Featuring Sirius doing his best, the Black brothers helping each other, Remus and James bonding over their taste for French boys, and Barty being the best friend anyone could ever ask for.

    Summary

    Desperately, as both Dementors go for the kiss, Harry calls on that anger in lieu of happiness as he casts his Patronus.

    Something emerges from his wand— a stag.

    Except, Harry notices, the stag is different. Usually white and bright and luminescent, this time, his stag is a swirling mass of dark energy. It moves like a hurricane, like a force of pure energy, rather than a proper stag. It swirls around in and of itself— and it takes a larger than life presence. He has never seen anything like it.

    When his Patronus becomes dark and corrupted, Harry attempts to work out the reason for the change. Between dealing with Umbridge, figuring out Dumbledore’s Army, and discovering classmates he’s never noticed before, Harry attempts to make it to the end of year exams.

    Summary

    Soulmate something everyone looks forward to. On the fifteenth birthday of the youngest of the pair, the marks appear on 99% of the population. Less than one percent of the world doesn't have a soulmate.

    On Harrison's 15th birthday his soulmate marks came in. One was on his left wrist the name was in clear and crisp handwriting. It read 'Rabastan Lestrange. He knew that meant his soulmate was a Death Eater. He realizes that the Light has failed him and that not everyone in the Dark is evil. Barty's kindness was proof of that and why Harrison helped him escape. He knows he can never tell anyone. Not even the other side of the bond. The Light would not be happy to know that he was connected to a Death Eater and Rabastan would likely not be pleased to learn that his soulmate was the enemy.

    Desperately Harrison tries to keep his head down. To not bring attention to himself and hope his connection to his soulmates is overlooked in the brewing storm of war. As he returns to Hogwarts he struggles with a powerful in him that he's unable to find an explanation for. Desperately hoping that no one notices. But that's not how things work out. Not for him. Never for him.

    Summary

    When Voldemort comes back 8 years later, there’s something different about him. Something caged, fluttering around inside his stomach. A thing that’s a curiosity as much as it is a concern. It’s growing. Growing until it bursts at the seems. Flesh pressed up against metal bars.

    When Voldemort adopts Harry Potter, that thing finds the key to its cage.

    Now Voldemort isn’t sure what or who he is. And maybe he doesn’t mind.

     

    ***

     

    A different kind of thing is inside Harry Potter. This one is hot as much as is it cold. It’s dead, as much as it is alive.
    It craves blood, yet Harry isn’t sure whether or not to let it devour.

    Then he meets other people who know magic. And that just further complicates things.

    And maybe he doesn’t mind this thing either.

    OR

    Voldemort doesn’t know how to be a human. Neither does Harry.

    Snakes are pretty cool.

    Harry lacks any self preservation- much to Voldemorts exasperation.

    The death eaters are very confused.

    And Harry hates potions.
