    Summary

    He lets himself think about it—what a life without magic, without Voldemort, without this constant looming expectation to perform at the whims of the wizarding world might be like—and he feels little more than relief and an itch to get going already.

    ---

    Overcome by grief and guilt after Sirius’s death, Harry leaves the wizarding world behind for a new life across the pond. As an unassuming Muggle, his life is ordinary and unglamorous, but fate eventually has its way of drawing him back to where he’s meant to be.

    Summary

    Trelawney whispered a different prophecy. Because of it, Harry Potter was allowed to live.

    He started his seventh year, the way he always had: as a half-blood Gryffindor, an orphan of Godric’s Hollow and the social leper of Hogwarts.

    Two things told Harry it would be an interesting semester: first, the Dark Lord would visit Hogwarts; second, they had a new defense professor, who moved with precision and power and spoke as if he was used to people hanging onto his every word.

    The man made Harry’s stomach squirm.

    And he called himself Marvolo Gaunt.

    Summary

    In which an immortal demon falls in love with your fleeting existence, over and over again.

    'Muzan was heartbroken when he became a demon— and it was the one thing that never did quite fix itself even with his immortality. He tried to seek solace in numerous vices— opium, alcohol, women, and human flesh— but when he looks over the lifeless bodies of the wives he’d taken, none quite ever struck the same chord as your corpse did to him.'
