    Summary

    Helena Potter had never been a particularly lucky person - her entire life story was more than enough proof of that. Everything that had ever happened to her had been a sign of truly bad luck, of the forces of the universe pointing their fingers at her just to laugh at her and her misfortune. She had lost her parents, she had lost friends, she had lost her godfather and her surrogate uncle and she had more than once been close to losing her life as well.
    She had lost her life, actually.
    Yet, somehow, this situation was so, so much worse than anything she had ever been forced to face before. Whoever thought it to be a good idea to make her deal with a goblin rebellion when she couldn't even deal with the Gringotts goblins of her own time?!

    Or: a complete retelling of the Hogwarts: Legacy story with a female, time travelling Harry Potter in the role of the Player Character.

    Summary

    Dream is given a second chance. Terrified by loneliness and drowning in humanity, he goes to find the only fixed point he has ever known. Hob Gadling.

    Dream found himself explaining everything, the words tumbling out of him in a halting confession. The Kindly Ones, the choice to end or change. His siblings’ intervention.

    “They… found a compromise. This form, it is mortal-adjacent. I must eat, sleep and breathe. I feel the cold. I grow weary.” He looked down at his own hands, pale against the dark fabric of his trousers. “I am, in all ways that matter now, very much like you, Hob Gadling. My body will not age. It cannot die. Unless I choose to accept my sister’s gift. I am… suspended. Between what I was and what men are.”

    Summary

    “Believe it or not, I’m here to help you, Skywalker,” Dooku hissed. “To warn you.”

    Suddenly, as Dooku lifted his arms, a chain of glowing red links appeared, spiraling up from the floor to wrap around Dooku’s body. Shackles clanged shut around his wrists, a heavy collar settled around his neck.

    “I wear the chain I forged in life,” Dooku continued, the links rattling as he spoke. “The shackles of the dark side.” The force rang with his words.

    “But there is a chance, yet, for you to escape my fate,” Dooku continued, heedless of Anakin’s distress. “Tonight you will be visited by three spirits. Heed their words, without them you cannot hope to shun the path I tread.”

    or,

    Summary

    The last person Dream expects to see in Burgess' basement is Hob Gadling, who has apparently been asked to consult on the restoration of the historic manor. He is pleased when his old acquaintance helps free him without a second thought, despite their past squabble, but he is horrified to realise that breaking the binding circle does nothing to return his powers to him, and that he cannot return to the Dreaming after having been released from his cage.

    Weak, confused, and distressingly human, he consents to being taken back to Hob's home to be cared for until he can regain his strength. When he falls asleep that night (which he should never have had need for), he finally finds his way back to his palace, only to find someone else sitting on his throne, wearing his ruby, and claiming his name as her own — Dream of the Endless.
