    Summary

    it’s a wild life
    of magic and tales
    of light and radiance
    dreams and darkness
    firebird, firebird
    — Raj Arumugam, firebird

    ─────────

    Like a wingless canary in a gilded cage, you are forced once again to sing for red-lipped witches and their grating laughter, and for wizards with their fat bellies, graying hair, and leering eyes. How kind of Narcissa Malfoy to host these decrepit creatures in her manor garden—and thrust the role of main attraction onto you. There you are, lonesome badger, dressed in the finest tulle for everyone to ogle at. A ballerina in a music box, turning, and turning, and turning.

    (When will your cursed lullaby finally end?)

    ─────────

    or alternatively, you are the fop of the wizarding society, known for your shallowness and careless display of wealth, but as hogwarts faces another threat, the marauders and lily, find themselves drawn to you and the secrets hidden under your facade. (harry just wants to know what is going on.)

    Summary

    She jumped up, determined to smack this little idiot, stopped short, and screamed.

    Loudly.

     

    Lola was pretty sure suddenly waking up in Surrey and talking to Harry Potter wasn't part of her Science lesson, but hey, at least it's more interesting? Right?

    Or, the time a 15 year old, fed up student is thrown into Harry Potter's third year, aka, 'The Prisoner of Azkaban.'
    She's like a mother fucking seer now, isn't she?

    Or, Harry Potter gets the family he deserves, Remus Lupin doesn't forget his wolfsbane potion, and ol' Voldy is no match for a hormonal teenager who knows literally everything there is to know about the Harry Potter books.

    Oh, and Peter Pettigrew is sent to Azkaban, like the bastard should have done in the first place.

    This is what should have happened in the books.
     

     

    Warning - there is quite a lot of swearing

     fuck jkr and her disgusting views.

    Summary

    When Elara Grey rescued a young Harry Potter from the Dursleys, she never intended to become a shadow in the Ministry’s blind spots or a quiet force moving against the currents of wizarding politics. Now, years later, Elara’s careful world begins to unravel as a dangerous escape from Azkaban triggers a chain of events that pull her past into the present.

    Harry faces his third year at Hogwarts unaware of the true stakes building around him. Secrets coil beneath the surface. Ancient magic stirs. The Ministry fractures. And something far older than the war begins to shift, watching those who wander too close to it.

    As old enemies resurface and hidden alliances tighten around her, Elara is forced to confront the parts of herself she has buried deep. Every choice she makes will protect the people she loves or destroy the fragile peace they have built together.

    Some shadows follow you. Others are forged by your own hands.

    This is the third installment of The Shadow War Chronicles.

    Summary

    There are moments in life that you work so hard for, things your younger self couldn't even imagine you doing... and when those moments arrive, what do you do with them? After joining the Victim Services Branch of the FBI in Quantico, it's been a dream to interact with the BAU and assist a case of theirs. Your lifestyle of late nights and overworking yourself keep you single despite this loneliness you refuse to acknowledge. But when you're constantly reminded of how quickly life can shatter around your feet, leaving you bare and bleeding as you try to put the pieces back together as neatly as you can... only for life to never be the same again, you start to feel it a little more.

    When the call finally comes, your work pulls you into a case the BAU is tackling, and while it caught you a little off guard, you walk away from the case with something more. Spencer has never shown vulnerability until you came around, then things changed. From innocent comments to passionate nights, your world shifts as your two souls collide into one.

    Summary

    May Oakley lives for the spotlight, but nothing prepares her for the Eye’s invitation — or for Jack Wilder, the street magician whose quiet charm disarms her more than any trick. As the Four Horsemen form and the Eye’s tests grow more dangerous, May and Jack’s connection deepens. In a world built on illusion, falling for someone might be the riskiest act of all.
