Summary
Harry Potter is eleven. Sort of. Except he's thirty-one. Or so.
Doesn't matter, really. He can look eleven if he wants. What matters is, he's lived all this shit before. SEEN it, anyway. and aged up. And he will not let it go that way this time.
This time, he's taking care of everything. Nobody's dying. Nobody's living in fear. And nobody's camping and starving for months looking for horcruxes. Harry's destroying the damn things immediately. Like, yesterday. Who knows. Time's a little wonky.Severus Snape is not prepared for adult, unhinged Harry Potter. Neither are Sirius, Remus, Ron, or any of the Weasleys. But that's okay. Harry hopes they won't get too attached. Because. Well. Harry's a horcrux. And all horcruxes have to be destroyed.

Summary
Roy doesn’t want to shag Jamie.
Sure, maybe Roy sometimes catches himself admiring more than just Jamie’s form as they train in the mornings, or standing closer than he needs to after Jamie’s sweat through his scent blocker and his sweet omega scent bleeds through. And, fine, maybe Roy nearly lost his mind at the cloying scent of pre-heat clinging to Jamie during the week he took his annual break from his suppressants, and spent the three days of Jamie’s heat having to remind himself that it would be extremely inappropriate to jog by Jamie’s house just to make sure there were no unsavoury alphas skulking about.
Okay, so maybe Roy does want to shag Jamie a bit.
OR: in which alpha!Roy and omega!Jamie court, fall in love, and fuck. Just not necessarily in that order.

Summary
What would have happened if Snape had arrived to the Astronomy Tower before the other Death Eaters?
One altered moment changes the war.
Draco Malfoy is not left alone with a choice he was never meant to make. Hermione Granger begins to question how far righteousness can stretch before it snaps. Theodore Nott stops pretending neutrality is survival. Harry Potter realizes that destiny does not feel like heroism, it feels like loss.
As alliances blur and secrets multiply, each of them must decide what they are willing to sacrifice and who they are willing to become.
Because in war, innocence is not something you lose.
It is something you surrender.

Summary
Six months before Voldemort killed Lily and James Potter, he wiped out an entire race of beings. They were known as elementals, here long before wizards, tending to the earth. When he felt their existence was a threat to him, he murdered them all.
All except for one. Ani.
For years, Albus Dumbledore kept her safe and hidden from Voldemort, knowing he would return. Now as an adult, Dumbledore has brought her back to Hogwarts, where she's taken on the role of Assistant Professor.
One professor in particular, Severus Snape, isn't thrilled to have someone impose on his lessons, much less a seemingly young and stupid girl. He prefers working alone and doesn't appreciate her presence. However, as time goes on, he finds himself growing curious as to who she is and what she's doing at Hogwarts, especially with no magic.
She certainly isn't what he was expecting.

Summary
Jon was back in Research again, getting a complete chance at a do-over. Sure it’s weird not having Beholding, but soon he’ll be Archivist again and he’ll…
He didn’t get the promotion. Still, he can keep his friends safe as an archival assistant instead!
Surely the fact he’s seeing way more spiders this time around isn’t important.

Summary
When Mr. Filch turns to alcohol to dull his grief over Mrs. Norris's petrifaction, Percy is saddled with the duty of escorting the drunk man home from the Hog's Head Inn. The rest of the school year brings fear and grief, but at the Hog's Head Inn, Percy finds camaraderie with the black sheep.
Excerpt:
Percy let the pride of successfully winning Professor McGonagall's trust carry him along the dark road to the edge of the village. He was the only one who could do this job. Percy needed this, needed ways to stand out to achieve his goals. And though he fleetingly wished Penny had been off duty and able to accompany him, his future was better served this way.After entering the pub, Percy quietly shut the door behind him and looked around the nearly empty room. (It was strategy, not cowardice, that had him hoping to avoid notice.)
"Go back to school, boy. I don't sell to students sneaking out of the castle."
An old man stepped out of the shadows, still drying his hands on a stained apron. His glower reminded Percy of his mother when the twins exploding something forced her to leave a delicate cooking spell unattended.
