Summary
Harry and his friends weren’t successful when they broke into the Lestrange's vault in their hunt for Horcruxes.
They only barely escaped the clutches of the Death Eaters, with burns on their skin and no cup to show for. The only thing they did have was a single black hair, curly and smooth, clinging to the golden brush Hermione had taken with her. Only, the hair was decades old.
As foolish and short-sighted as their plan was, it might be their only chance.There was only one way the appearance of a very much younger Bellatrix Lestrange wouldn’t raise questions: if the one impersonating her actually did travel back in time and took her place.

Summary
In the early 1970s, young Bellatrix Lestrange is bored. Her husband is trying to keep a secret from her, and when she finds out it proves just the diversion she was looking for. When a mysterious master duelist offers to teach her the Dark Magic she craves to know, who is she to deny doing him a favor or two. And just like that, Bellatrix finds herself ensnared in the Dark Arts and deeply entangled in the web of secrecy the Dark Lord has spun. And she loves every second of it.

Summary
POV of Peter Pettigrew from 1975-Nov 1 1981, set in the universe of Keep My Candle Burning. Bellamort, gay Rodolphus, humanized Voldemort, the crushing and unending passage of time... you know the drill
Peter straddles two worlds, between the Marauders and the Potters and the Order, and Voldemort and his inner circle, and is slowly drawn away from the first and toward the second. The story is heavily focused on the last few months of the war, in which Peter becomes steadily more disillusioned with anti-Voldemort efforts and spirals into an increasingly unreliable narrator, drawing unsupported and even impossible conclusions about the nature of others' relationships and the reality of the war.

“There, now, Minerva,” said Fudge kindly, “Pettigrew died a hero’s death. Eyewitnesses—Muggles, of course, we wiped their memories later—told us how Pettigrew cornered Black. They say he was sobbing, ‘Lily and James, Sirius! How could you?’ And then he went for his wand. Well, of course, Black was quicker.”Series

Summary
“I,” her gaze slips down to his mouth, “want only to please you. Is there no way I might…”
“You want to own me,” he lilts to her. He tucks a curling strand of hair behind her ear.
“No, master,” she insists, plaintive words and sharp, devouring eyes. “I am your faithful servant. Nothing sustains me but to obey your will.”

Summary
The last real thing Harry remembers is standing across from Voldemort and watching the killing curse fly at his face.
Then he visited a fluffy white limbo that somewhat resembles King Cross Station and instead of choosing to move on or go back he does something else entirely.
And wakes up in his cupboard on the morning of Dudley's eleventh birthday.
Because that makes sense.
(No. No it doesn't.)
But Harry is going to roll with it anyway.

Summary
Six years after the Battle of Hogwarts, Auror Hermione Granger activated a mysterious dark object, which unexpectedly sent her decades into the past.
Tom Riddle, now known as Voldemort, returned to British wizarding society in 1966 after a decade-long absence. Under the guise of interviewing for the Defense Against the Dark Arts teaching position, he arrived at Hogwarts to conceal one of his Horcruxes. But he soon discovered that the coveted position had been stolen a week earlier by an intriguing witch.
As manipulative schemes emerged, tension evolved into a ruinous obsession.
Illustrated and beta read by Nurchie.
