Summary
In one universe, Harry James Potter became the Boy-Who-Lived, the lone survivor of Voldemort's attack on his family.
In another, Lily Potter was knocked aside as a favor- moving too slow to save her son and husband, but just quick enough to vanquish the Dark Lord.
In the last, James survived on account of last-minute guilt, and woke from a potion-induced sleep to find his wife, child, and brother dead, and the world slowly being overtaken by You-Know-Who.
Across these universes, all three Potters come into contact with the Mirror of Erised at the same time, and find that love can pull down many barriers- if one is brave enough to break them.

Summary
"If I liked guys, I could really fucking fall for you. You know that, right?"
Of course he knows. But Benji still grins, that damn smile that's as much a bird's as a bear's. Then he says:
"You're already in love with me. You just haven't realized it yet."//
Alternate ending to the trilogy. Benji gets his happy ending.

Summary
“A truly exciting development here in District 12. Let’s see who will be the other brave tribute traveling to the Capitol this year.” She simply grabbed the first slip she encountered and walked back to the podium.
Neil didn’t even have time to wish for his own safety when she read the name.“Neil Josten.”
A simple The Hunger Games AU because apparently the Foxes haven't suffered enough already.

Power the Dark Lord Knows Not by Fantismal, Jormandugr

Summary
“Regulus,” Sirius finally said, once he trusted he had his own voice under control, “has never once let me help him, even before I was a filthy blood-traitor. Why the fuck do you think I’d be able to save him now?”
Tomorrow night. Kreacher’s words throbbed inside his head. Regulus will die tomorrow night.
Sirius definitely wasn’t going to be getting any sleep at all this week.
Sirius thought he had cut all ties with his family, but when Kreacher shows up in his bedroom with a dire warning, he's hardly able to let his idiot little brother die. And when he learns about the Horcrux his brother was chasing, he's hardly about to let him take on Voldemort alone.
But getting tangled up in the House of Black again is not the best way to prove his innocence among an already-suspicious Order. Sirius has to walk a fine line if he wants to keep everyone he loves alive.
(This series is in chronological order but does not need to be read in that order. NO other stories in this series are required reading, but all are suggested to flesh out the backstory.)

Summary
Though the new boy at Hogwarts University, James Potter, appears to be an adorable himbo with deep pockets, Remus Lupin and his friends instead find a horrifically dark past on Google. Did he really attack that boy and leave him for dead? Why won't he talk about his mysterious childhood best friend, "Pups"? Would it kill him to stop messing with his hair?
At least Remus got his phone back after losing it, but now he can't stop texting the mysterious number of the man who had sent it back. Padfoot is funny and charming, and Remus is NOT going to fall in love with him.
This story is COMPLETE. Please see Chapter 1 for a more detailed explanation.
