    Summary

    What I wanted to write was a quick one-shot that explored the idea of Harry being the biological son of Voldemort, only Voldemort doesn't know he has a son and is also as evil as ever. Meanwhile, Harry is just a charismatic kid with a snake and ridiculously powerful magic.

    It turned into a series rewrite.

    Summary

    The one thing nobody ever told Marcus, about the long process to becoming a Death Eater, was how fucking boring it is. He's stuck guarding the abandoned Black place, but when Snape brings him a new task, he's put on a collision course with Harry Potter, who he hasn't seen in years.

    Harry doesn't much like anyone, doesn't much like himself most days, which is impressive since he feels like he has no idea who he even is, but that's okay, Marcus likes him enough for the both of them.

    Snape has his own motivations for putting Marcus on this job though, and when it comes to a head, Marcus and Harry will be forced to stay in an unfamiliar safe house together, indefinitely. Stuck with nothing but themselves, a house that hasn't been touched since the 1950s, their own thoughts, and their opposite positions in the war, what will two young men plucked out of a conflict learn about themselves and each other?

    Summary

    Harry knew from the time he was very young that the Dursleys was wrong about magic not being real, because of the ghostly man who would visit him every time the moon was full. However, it took growing older to learn about what Harry had to do to get his godfather, whom he had fallen in love with, back among the living. Based extremely loosely on the fairy tale “Godfather Death.”

    Summary

    As far as the wizarding world knows, the entire Potter Family was killed on Halloween, 1981. Dumbledore defeated Voldemort mere hours later.

    The world forgets about the infant buried in Godric Hallow's cemetary.

    That is, until Lupin finds a young boy living on the streets. A young boy, with James's dark skin, wild hair, and Lily's green eyes...

    Summary

    “Potter…why is a horcrux of the Dark Lord sitting in your living room in muggle Surrey?” Severus Snape slowly and calmly asked as if he was holding onto his last thread of sanity while waiting for the answer.

    “Well, we met back in my second year at school, became friends since I didn’t know who his future self was, he tried to kill me, I killed him, and then he floated around the aether for a couple years,” Harry sighed. It was all so very complex.

    ---

    Everyone has had a summer from hell after what happened with the Triwizard Tournament. Literally everyone, even the part of Voldemort's soul that he thought he'd gotten rid of so very long ago. When Harry Potter's worst enemy asks for his help though...well, that pesky saving people thing just really gets in the way.
