Summary
“I was walking along, minding my business
When love came and hit me in the eye
Flash! Bam! Alakazam!
Out of an orange-coloured, purple-striped, pretty green polka-dot sky,
Flash! Bam! Alakazam! And goodbye”***
"‘I should be dead’ Kat thought. ‘I can’t survive this. No one can. Please just let me die.’
But death would be kind. And Vault-tec were anything but."The Fallout universe has a plethora of un-discovered Vault’s whose Vault-tec experiments are unknown.
This story is inspired by both the games and series and follows my OC Katherine Darrow and her experiences first pre-war, within the unknown Vault 6, and eventually in the wasteland Post-Season 1 where she meets characters Lucy MacLean and a vaguely recognisable Cooper Howard. -

Summary
Whatever became of the moment when one first knew about death?
There must've been one
A moment, in childhood
When it first occurred to you that you don't go on forever
Must've been shattering, stamped into one's memoryAnd yet, I can't remember it
It never occurred to me at allWe must be born with an intuition of mortality
-Rosencratz & Guildenstern Are Dead
Isolde Selwyn has been dealt no favours in life. Poverty continues to be a blight upon her family, and apparently the only way to save herself from its perpetuation is by her engagement to Regulus Black.
As the political climate in the Wizarding World shifts, the students at Hogwarts form their own identities and alliances with one another. Hearts are broken, minds are taught, guts are strengthened, love is found and loyalty is tested.
In such precarious times, no one is free from the certainties of life.

Summary
"You know how this works, Sirius. You always ask me to stay, and I always leave."
"There was an atrocious beauty in the way they still orbited one another—like shattered stars, bound by invisible threads. Still whole in what united them, still broken by what they had lost. So deeply scarred by the past and by each other… that closeness felt like both redemption and damnation."
[SPOILER FROM ACT I OF SCARIUS]
After escaping from Azkaban, Scarlett and Sirius set out to hunt down Peter Pettigrew, determined to make him pay for his betrayal and for framing Sirius. At the same time, they’ll be forced to confront their own wounds and unresolved issues from the past.
Meanwhile, Harry Potter and Regulus Black have no idea their lives are about to be turned upside down by Sirius’s escape. Will they manage to prove his innocence? Will they ever become a family?
Back in the past, Scarlett struggles with the loss of her family while Sirius burdens himself with the weight of shielding her from the chaos. The tides of war are rising as their final year at Hogwarts begins, bringing with it some nasty surprises that will test loyalties and reveal who they truly are.

Summary
Alphard Black - uncle of Sirius and estranged member of the Black family - attends Hogwarts in the 1940s on a journey of self-discovery and familial war.
***
- Slowburn romance... but I am horrible at writing slowburn bc I'm impatient, so we'll see how that goes
- No idea how many Alphard fics are out there, just was so interested in his backstory and wanted to give it a go myself!!
- Chapter updates hopefully fairly frequently / maybe once or twice a week
- In no way is this support for JK Rowling; I do not agree with her views nor do I like her xo -

He's been successful in securing the dimmest of the group under his thumb, but the truly influential pawns continue to evade him. He needs an in, one that not all the scheming in the world seems to be able to grant him. That is until he finds himself partnered with Serraphina Selwyn for Prefect duties.

Summary
Class 1-A was suspicious, suspicious of the fact the league of villains- or villains in general haven't attacked yet.
Sure, it was a good thing they weren't getting attacked, but it still put them all on edge. I mean the last time they had a "training" without getting attacked was probably the quirk assessment tests.
It was a known fact that Class 1-A didn't get breaks.
So it really surprised no one when villains showed up to their training. It did however, surprise them when their teacher was hit with a quirk, multiple actually, and was now chasing them.
Gosh why couldn't they have just ONE normal training?!

Summary
The boy came forward, he was much older than a first year, Sirius’ age surely. His free-falling yellow hair fell limp against his empty eyes. His posture was tall but robotic and it took everything in him to take those steps towards the front. There was a sense of defeat, a bone-crushing, logic-defying depression. There wasn’t even a cry for help in those eyes, help wasn’t wanted.
“Regulus.” Sirius breathed.
“Edward Elric” McGonagall called.
Al sacrificed himself in order to help Ed defeat Father. Edward could not get his brother back, no matter what he offered Truth. Concerned for his wellbeing, Roy decides to send Ed far away from Amestris; Joining Hogwarts as a fifth year student. In Ed's Year group he meets a certain four people; Moony, Padfoot, Wormtail and Prongs. Follow Ed throughout the years in Hogwarts and into the First Wizarding War with Voldemort.

Summary
Before the war had a name, they were just Slytherin boys growing up feral in its dungeons. On the edge of the magical world, running wild through green shadows and ancient spells that still bite.
They learned early that danger was a language, and that power answered if you called it loud enough. Youth exploded only to fracture: brotherhood, violence, desire; nothing stayed pure for long.
When the sirens began to sing in the dark, the wild boys were already ready, shining fiercely and fast before the fall.
But you know what they say: Wild boys always shine.

Summary
Love fucks it? Love fixes? May be both.
London, summer 1940. A boy destined for legend comes back to the orphanage he hates and meets a tarot reader with no fear of snakes.
This story follows canon — mostly — but still takes you for a ride. I wanted to fill the gaps in Tom Riddle’s life, the parts that were only ever hinted at. Too much of book-Tom rests on nothing but Dumbledore’s assumptions, and I couldn’t leave it like that. We'll explore everything that happened somewhere in the shadows of HP canon: alliances, mentors, magic, war, mythic love & his evolution from a child all the way until the end.
If you’ve ever wanted to read about Voldemort's making… buckle up.It’s not a redemption arc — it’s a revelation arc. He doesn’t become good. He becomes understood.
Dedicated to all the girls who read Chamber of Secrets and fell in love with Tom Riddle 💔

Summary
Before they were soldiers in a war, before prophecy, fear, and blood carved their names into history, they were just two boys growing up in a haunted house that dared to call itself a home.
Sirius, all fire and sharp-edged laughter, was born to challenge the world.
Regulus, all quiet devotion and watchful eyes, was born to carry it.
In the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black, that single difference is enough to decide everything.
As Sirius is pulled toward rebellion and freedom, Regulus is drawn into the gravity of legacy and expectation — each step taking them further from each other.
This is the rise and fall of two sons forged under the same name but destined for opposite horizons.
A tale of how they loved, how they broke, and how the very stars seemed to shift in their wake.
