    Summary

    “Not Harry, not Harry, please not Harry!”
    “Stand aside, you silly girl… stand aside, now”.
    And Lily Potter stepped aside.
    Voldemort stared at her.
    “... Is this some sort of trick?” he asked softly.
    “No". Her voice was flat, lifeless. “You already killed James... If you let me live, then you can have Harry”.
    Voldemort’s lip curled - not in amusement, but disgust. His own mother had died for him. Pathetic, yes, sentimental and foolish - but she had chosen to die so that he could live. Lily Potter wasn’t even choosing to care. Surely the child of prophecy deserved a better mother than this! Even he could give the boy to a better family to be raised right!
    Voldemort slowly reached down and picked up the child.
    He was still staring at him. He was still oddly silent. His eyes were still the colour of the Killing curse and brimming with power.
    Yes, Voldemort decided, that was exactly what he’d do.
    "You belong to me now" he whispered.
    And with a crack like thunder, he turned on the spot, vanishing into the night.

    Or, the one where Harry Potter is raised by the Lestranges and it goes more or less how you would expect.

    Summary

    “Tell me,” Daenys said curiously. “Do you find me pretty? Most find Valyrians to be the most beautiful people.”

    Elain startled, taking in Daenys’ pert nose and even lips. Her brows were slightly darker than her hair, and it was Daenys’ habit to keep her hair back with a hair covering. Typically a lace veil.

    A slow grin spread against Elain’s lips. “You are something better: striking.”

     

    Or

     

    Elain Archeron tumbles out of the cauldron and finds herself in a new world.

    Summary

    A Low-Effort Account of High-Stakes Nonsense

    Holly is done with saving the world. After a war, funeral after funeral, and one unfortunate wish made to a magical room with no sense of boundaries, she ends up somewhere very far from home—and very much someone else’s problem.

    Now she runs a not-entirely-legal bakery in a city where flour is political, dragons are supposed to be terrifying (hers is the size of a teacup), and minding your own business is practically a crime. She’s got no interest in thrones, titles, or noble nonsense.

    Which is exactly why the nobles won’t leave her alone.

    All Holly wants is to survive, stay unimportant, and keep her pastry case full. But when a certain highborn woman starts showing up for tea, Holly finds herself dragged—reluctantly—into court gossip, royal secrets, and a mess big enough to topple a kingdom.

    She didn’t come here to change the world. But the world keeps showing up at her door.

    Summary

    They say that Targaryens were considered to be closer to gods than men. For the fire and ashes that ran through their veins, the dragons they commanded, and the deaths that trailed in their wakes. But a man is still a man, no matter what madness lies in their blood.

    And really—what is a dragon, to a demigod with weaponized daddy issues?
