    Summary

    Maul and Devon flee after an unfortunate encounter Post-Maul Shadow Lord. Maul speculates the nature of a master and apprentice's bond.

    or

    “We’re almost there.” She says in reassurance. Then, as a joke, because she has a morbid humor. Which is something Maul denies he is fond of–-“You can’t die until you teach me the rest of Form VII.” He’s barely taught her any. He will have to stay alive for quite awhile to ensure she masters such a form. What a foolish apprentice.

    “Such ambition.” He means it warmly.

    Summary

    The true Time-Turner was slammed savagely into Hermione's throat. It shattered against her neck, bits of glass and gold piercing into her skin. The last thing she saw before blackness consumed her was a plume of metallic dust and vitreous fragments, tiny prisms dancing behind her eyelids.

    (In which Hermione accidentally ends up in 1950, pitted against an ascending Dark Lord in his prime, caught in the entanglement of pureblood politics, dark magic, and Tom Riddle's interest)

    Summary

    “They say that curiosity killed the cat, but then again, you’ve always been a curious little creature, haven’t you, kitten?”

     

    She feels her blood freeze, her fingers pressing into the stone beneath her hands. Her heart is enraptured, beating heavily against her sternum as she stares down, refusing to look at the shadow that has moved into the periphery of her vision.

     

    “But I don’t think you’re a ‘kitten’ or even a ‘lion’ any longer, Hermione.”

     

    Her breath stutters, shaking exhales that leave her body a trembling mess on the stone floor. Hermione sees his form crouch next to her, the scent of smoke hanging heavily in the air. Shadows move, circling beneath her chin to tilt her head back until she is forced to look up into the darkness that occludes him from view. The dimness around them ripples, like the warmth of a breeze against a flickering flame, and Hermione’s eyes widen as the image of whisp filled wings appear over his shoulders.

     

    “I think you are a dove whose wings have been clipped one too many times.”

     

    -OR-

    The one where Sirius is the God of Nightmares and visits Hermione in her dreams.

    Summary

    A dark, devastating tale of salvation and damnation to explain how Nagini came to faithfully serve the darkest wizard of all time after bringing about the fall of his predecessor decades prior.

    A villain origin story chronicling the pair's descent from strangers to a fate worse than death. One where Tom Riddle and Nagini wrought their own destruction, allowing the story of canon Harry Potter to rise from its ashes.

    In canon, after his failed attempt to kill baby Harry Potter left him as a wisp of soul, Tom Riddle fled to the forests of Albania. There he encountered Nagini, a Maledictus whose cursed blood transformed her into a serpent, just as he had been reduced to something less than human.

    But what if that wasn't their first meeting? What if finding the snake-shifter in the same woods Tom found Ravenclaw's Lost Diadem was not fate, but their plan... four decades in the making?

    A love story that was always destined to be a horror story, where devotion itself becomes monstrous, and getting their deepest desires proves to be the ultimate curse.

    Summary

    Hermione’s life takes a dark turn after the death of her parents, leaving her at the mercy of a tyrannical Matron. Her new home is more prison than sanctuary, haunted by ghosts bearing terrible, bloody secrets. And though she is surrounded by troubled young women, it is the men in her life who teach her that freedom comes at the greatest price of all.
