Summary
Waking up after having the amortentia love potion used on her was bad enough, but why the hell did the men in her life right now seem to think being pregnant turned her brain right off?
Or:
Just because he was a spy and cut off from his best friend didn't mean he couldn't help, Severus just had to bide his time.
Or:
James and Sirius would do anything for each other, and they both needed heirs for their houses, so why not do it this way? Who cared as long as they got what they wanted.
Or:
Lilly Evans has a brain and a baby and a best friend and isn't afraid to use all of them to get what they all deserve, a happily ever after!
Oh, and she has a grove of rather nasty bamboo, cause that's a pretty epic part of the plan.

Summary
What happens if Aunt Petunia didn't miss when she tried to hit Harry Potter with a frying pan?
Or:
What happens if things are just a bit worse, adults a bit more blind, and everyone cares that bit less?
Or:
Harry Potter finds peace in his mind after an accident at Hogwarts, and tries to recapture it, much to the horror of his imaginary voice!

Summary
On the run from just about everyone, even though the Dark Wanker is truly and totally dead, Severus Snape just wants to keep his boys safe!
Or:
Captured and bound in a ritual circle, about to be sacrificed for no good reason Severus could see, he did spot the teeny tiny problem that might get them ALL killed and did try and point it out but, well, evil wanker wanna be's never did want to listen to good advice!
Or:
It might not have been allowed out of the den and nest, but surely if it found so much power to bring home then its mates would forgive it? Oh dear, this was going to be a LOT of power to handle but what if it bled off a bit of it in an interesting way?
Or:
Quirk hit, Shouta thinks he just might be in love, good thing too with a quirk deactivation requirement like this one has!

Summary
Harry Potter mostly coasts through school, because he long ago learned to only give in class what the teachers wanted, and mostly they wanted him to just do enough to pass but....
He's in sixth year now, the dark lord's return looming on the horizon, if he doesn't do well then he'd die, pure and simple, doing well in class might actually keep him alive!
How does he MAKE himself do better though, force himself past his own survival strategies in order to do better in class?
Or:
Looking down at a simple little spell found in an old handwritten book, Harry thinks he's found a way to keep himself focused in class.
Good thing he seldom swears, because this is gonna be awful!

Summary
Harry Potter was thrilled to be a wizard, to be going to school for being a wizard, and to learn all about how to do magic!
So it was a surprise indeed to find no one liked him much and oh gosh, how many points did he just lose?
Or:
Teachers who didn't like him, housemates who hated him, unfair treatment and points taken away all the time, well, at least he had Hedwig which was exactly one friend more than he'd ever had before!
Or:
A magic window, secret rooms, baffling attacks, magic that didn't like to come out in class and an entire host of weirdness, Harry Potter might be new to magic but life in a cupboard taught one thing for sure....
Fill your pockets with food any chance you get!
And run like hell, cause that's important too!

Doing Better All The Time by StrayCatRunning

14 Mar 2026
Summary
Harry Potter needs to do better, and finds a spell to help motivate him which kicks off an entire series of unexpected results.
Including but not limited to: Meeting demons as someone tries to use him as a virgin sacrifice, traveling randomly across Europe on a flying carpet with people he thought hated him, and discovering no matter how wild magic is, it can always be crazier!
Oh, and how Hero is a job, rather than something that happens by accident!
