Summary
Tom Riddle x OC
When Lilia Potter is killed by Voldemort in the Department of Mysteries, she knows she failed. Living in the shadow of her twin brother, Harry Potter, her greatest wish was to step out from his legacy and be remembered for her own achievements. But all of that shatters the day of her death.Until she wakes up— more than fifty years in the past.
It should be a cruel joke, but it’s real. Voldemort is alive, yet not as the Dark Lord she knows. Here, he is simply Tom Riddle— a clever boy whose charm and enigma draw her in against her better judgment.
Tom Riddle and Voldemort are not the same, she tells herself, even as her heart begins to wrestle with forbidden feelings for him. But her growing connection with Tom may come at a cost, especially when another shadow looms over the timeline: Grindelwald.
When Grindelwald discovers pieces of her mysterious past, everything becomes far more dangerous. Lilia’s second chance at life might be her most perilous yet.
Aka: a story where she finally learns what it means to be someone’s first choice.Series

Summary
One second, Hermione is running through the Forbidden Forest with Death Eaters hot on her heels because Voldemort may be dead, but the fight isn’t over yet. And then she’s out of the woods, and there is Hogwarts: silent, beautiful against a night sky, and strangely whole. There is no fighting. There is no army. There is only the golden glow of the lit windows reflected in the lake and the crispness of Autumn air.
This is not her Hogwarts.

Summary
“Are you implying that I am responsible for Voldemort’s actions?” Dumbledore’s voice had finally turned cold.
“No, I’m saying you’re responsible for neglecting a young boy! You treated him with nothing but suspicion and coldness, and when he grew up suspicious and cold you took that as confirmation that you were always right about him.”
“I assume you have a reason for laying these heavy charges at my feet,” said Dumbledore quietly.
She sighed. “I just think… maybe you should take your own advice and try to solve this problem with love, not destruction. You don’t have to destroy a Horcrux. You can heal it.”
“You speak of remorse,” Dumbledore didn’t sound impressed. “If I may, I see very little chance of convincing Voldemort to feel empathy for the things he has done –”
“Not Voldemort,” she interrupted. “Tom.”
“You are suggesting that we use Voldemort’s first Horcrux to reanimate sixteen-year-old Tom Riddle.” Dumbledore's tone left much to be desired.- Language:

Summary
Unspeakable Granger wakes up with missing memories in Hogwarts...in 1942. Hermione might not remember much, but she knew that even post-Voldemort, there were many wannabe dark lords she and her friends had to fight against. The world wasn't automatically sunshine and roses just because they've defeated Voldemort.
Also, go back? What go back? If she doesn't even know how she got here with all the wounds she had, then there's really no guarantee that a safe way to jump forward exists!
Yet the possibilities that are open to her...
if she could change the wizarding world half a century earlier, maybe they'd be more prepared against dark lords in the future. Perhaps a better world for the friends she'd left. With this in mind, Hermione Curie (Granger) sets out to use her field healer and master arithmancer abilities to the fullest (if she had to invent a couple of things earlier than they actually happened in her old future, so be it). Not to mention that in her very-biased-opinion, the wizarding world needs to be dragged out of its old prejudices, kicking and screaming if necessary. But who is that particular prefect? Her mind itches at seeing him…

Summary
When half of Gryffindor refuses to believe Harry that Voldemort has returned, Hermione Granger finds herself dissatisfied with maintaining friendships just because they're convenient. It's a lot more interesting to seek out friendships with people that she actually respects.
Fred and George Weasley, to her surprise, top that list. They might not be stellar students, but the brilliance of their products speaks for itself, and their dedication to opening their own business is... well, it's downright admirable. Fred and George themselves, in fact, are quite admirable. Some of their ideas, though, could use some work. A bit of tweaking, a shred more research, a hint of know-it-all acumen.
Hermione might know just the girl to help them.
~*~*~This story asks the question "What if Hermione Granger fell in love with the twins in fifth year? What would canon look like then?" and then follows that thread through to the end of the war, with all the trials and tribulations therein.

Summary
This story started as a series of drabbles, ficlets, and could-have-been-canon scenes beginning in June of 1995 wherein Fred and Hermione slowly become more than friendly acquaintances. Similarly, this fic itself has gradually morphed into much more than that, and certainly more than I had ever intended it to be.
It’s now 250k+ words of my explaining by example all of the ways that these two could - SHOULD - have been canon, and what that might have looked like if it ran alongside the events of the original books (or most of them, anyway).
That said, this story is significantly darker than canon, and it touches on some of the trauma that was previously brushed over, as well as injecting some where it makes sense to have occurred. There’s plenty of humor and joy, but there’s also a lot of pain that, within the context of the story, has good reason to be felt.
Regarding the Underage tag, the characters are ages sixteen and eighteen at the first occurrence. If this upsets your sensibilities, this is not the story for you. Especially triggering content will be called out in chapter notes.

Summary
“It’s not a problem, ‘Mione,” Fred says honestly, because, well. Taking Hermione to the Yule Ball really isn’t going to be a problem. Really.
“Still, I owe you,” she says. She settles back into her seat. “How’d you know, though?”
“The panic,” Fred laughs. “You looked like you were about to fall out of your chair.”*\
Viktor asks Hermione to the Yule Ball but she’d really rather not go with him. So she makes up a little white lie and Fred swoops into rescue her once he realizes this. Later, she swoops in to save him when George makes the wrong assumption.
It’s just a few weeks of pretending to date between two friends, just to help each other out. Nothing will go wrong. They’re sure of it.- Language:

Summary
Two weeks after Sirius Black falls through the Veil, Harry Potter and Hermione Granger are staying at Grimmauld, going through Sirius' things with Remus.
Two weeks after Sirius Black falls through the Veil, Regulus Black's head breaks above water.
Dumbledore isn't going to be able to keep the same secrets when a resurrected Death Eater encounters two thirds of the future Golden Trio. But Voldemort's desire for immortality means his favored General is exceedingly interested in her cousin's return to life.
-----
“Such magic is dark,” Remus breathed. “It isn’t even meant to exist. It would have required… I mean, a lot of blood, if this is blood magic… surely not…”
Regulus sighed. Sirius had thought Remus’ stammering and wide eyes when his mind was overworking was cute. Reg disagreed. “Several human sacrifices,” he finished for him. “It would have taken several human sacrifices.” Their mother was certainly deranged enough to do it.
“Is it reversible?” mini-Potter muttered.

Summary
Every morning Daelyra Targaryen wakes up and chooses violence. (Figuratively, at least.)
It might be because she’s Daemon Targaryen’s daughter. It might be because her soul is from another world. It might be because her dragon blood runs hotter than most, and that means more than she knew it could. It might be because the dragon that chose her is the most vicious of them all. It might be because she's a woman on a mission.
So many might-be’s, but one thing is certain: she wasn’t meant to exist, and the sole fact that she does was enough to knock the world off its axis.
Why not push the change further?
Or: Targaryens really aren’t human and expecting them to conform to human standards rarely ends well, and sometimes an unhinged woman with an unhinged dragon is all the world needs to prevent a disaster long in the making.

Summary
The key to deceiving people is believing your own lie. And Adara Vanserra had spent years – centuries – perfecting this ability. She had taught herself how to fully embody whatever character would give her the advantage in a given situation. She knew how to make anyone see what she wanted them to see.
So how was the Night Court’s Spymaster able to read her in a way no one else could? And why did she want to abandon her carefully constructed mask around him?Azriel hated working with others, especially those he didn't trust. And there was no way he could ever trust a Vanserra. Even one as captivating and infuriating as Adara.
So why did working with her feel as easy as breathing? And how did she get under his impenetrable armour so fast?(Runs parallel to ACOSF cannon, so does contain spoilers!)
