Summary
Harry's not sure what to do with himself after the war.
He goes to see his mind healer once a week. Refuses any and all offers to join the ministry as an auror and tries to not think himself selfish for it. Bakes every now and then. When he can't sleep, he duels with conjured targets in Arthur's garage. Takes Molly out on shopping dates. Tries to figure out what he wants. Tells himself he will redo the Weasley's back garden before Ron's and Hermione's wedding in the summer - the muggle way. He digs soil. Moves stones.
The physical activity keeps him occupied and bone-tired at the end of the day.
He still thinks too much.
He thinks he might be ready for more in life - not that he necessarily knows what more means.

Summary
Harry Potter vanished without a trace.
Five years after the Boy Who Lived disappeared from the wizarding world, Britain is in chaos. The Order of the Phoenix is fractured. Voldemort has gone disturbingly silent. And no spell or seer has been able to find Harry or his body.
But Harry isn’t dead. He’s been reborn.
Summoned to the bank, Harry discovers hidden truths: lost vaults, noble bloodlines, and a magical inheritance concealed by Albus Dumbledore. Blood tests reveal he is heir to the Imperial House of Caliban, an ancient magical dynasty believed extinct. Trained in secret, Harry is reborn as Emperor-to-be Haylan Caliban, destined to rule the magical world.
As he steps into the political spotlight at his Beautillion Ball, Haylan shakes the world. Old families kneel or crumble. Dumbledore panics. Voldemort watches. And Blaise Zabini—cool & clever—catches the Emperor’s eye. But Haylan's return is not without cost. As friends become enemies and rebels rise from unexpected places, Haylan must decide what kind of ruler he will be: just or feared, merciful or absolute. But the world must reckon with the one truth it forgot:
The House of Caliban Always Returns.

Summary
Merlin visits Lake Avalon every year on the anniversary of Arthur's death. Every year, he makes the same wish - that he would once again be reunited with Arthur.
Merlin lies down in the grassy outcrop that replaced the dried up lake and dreams of Arthur. He still thinks he's dreaming when Lake Avalon fills back up with thrashing, frigid water and threatens to take him away from the land of the living.
When Merlin is drowning, he dreams of Arthur's face. He dreams that he feels Arthur's strong arms holding him once again, pulling him from the grasp of the lake and onto the safety of the shoreline.
Merlin still thinks he's dreaming when Arthur speaks to him and reassures him that he's here to stay. It's almost too real for Merlin to handle.
But, what if it wasn't a dream, after all?

Summary
Harry Potter never wanted eternal glory. He just wanted a quiet year, a little less trauma, and maybe a nap that didn’t end in existential dread. But when the Goblet of Fire spits out his name, the boy who never asks for attention is thrown back into the spotlight—alone, accused, and burdened with surviving a tournament meant for champions twice his age.
Reserved, intense, and far more perceptive than his silence suggests, Viktor becomes the one person who doesn’t flinch at Harry’s fire—or the weight he carries. He doesn’t ask questions. He doesn’t need to. Because while the world demands explanations, Viktor offers stillness. Witness. Protection without permission.
As dragons rise and secrets unravel, Harry begins to realize that danger isn’t always in the tasks—it’s in the way someone looks at you like you’re worth saving.
A slow-burn, emotionally immersive retelling of Goblet of Fire where the fire isn’t just in the tournament… it’s in every glance, every unspoken word, and every step Viktor Krum takes toward a boy who never asked to be chosen.

Summary
Hespera Potter had long since relinquished all dreams of love and family, only for Death to thrust her into an intriguing world of magic, grace and ambition.

Summary
He was at the center of a war, without even knowing what he was really fighting for.
Harry didn't want to fight. He wanted a peaceful life, away from too many responsibilities, free to learn so many things about magic, which fascinated him above all else. But above all, he wanted a family. He wanted people who really loved him for him, not for what he represented.
His life is one huge lie, and the only way for him to be free is to accept a marriage contract with a Death Eater. Not the craziest thing he's ever done. The fact that his future 'husband' is hot as hell is just a bonus.

Summary
The moment the Death Curse struck Harry Potter's forehead and carved a scar into the toddler's skin, something else happened. In that moment, when the line between life and death blurred and time had no name, little Harry saw something he was perhaps never meant to see. He saw his former life. And Salazar Slytherin awoke.

Summary
After the war ended Harry always wished he could go back and fix his mistakes. Get revenge. Make different choices based on what he learned after. It was just a fantasy. It wasn't real… and then it was.
One version of Harry Potter had his soul sucked out the night he was attacked by dementors, another version cast a patronus and chased them off. The version that lost his soul probably wouldn't mind the one who lived taking his body as long as he used it to protect the people he cared about... even if that version was older, better trained, and much darker.
With his second chance Harry refuses to be just the Boy-Who-Lived, but Voldemort isn't the only threat to magical Britian. The Ministry and Dumbledore have been playing games for decades and it's time for someone new to over throw the powers that be.

Summary
Being the Master of Death made life difficult, especially when you need to save all of magical Europe from inbreeding its way to extinction. At least Death was enjoying watching his Master attempt this over and over again. Harry didn't find it nearly as entertaining. Well, tenth times the charm right?

Summary
When Harry Potter fights the basilisk, it seems to think it knows him – that he is another Heir of Slytherin. Also that he's a girl, for some reason. Surely it's mistaken? Well...
Harry discovers, through a series of letters from his parents, that in fact they're not his parents at all. That he isn't Harry Potter. That, during the war, James and Lily Potter were assigned to kill the infant daughter of Lord Voldemort and Bellatrix Lestrange, and kidnapped her instead. It is unquestionably a relief as Carina Gaunt steps back into the body she was always meant to have. But it also puts her on even more of a high-wire act than her life already was: hiding her secret, finding her godfather/cousin before the dementors do, and making sure that she doesn't get killed – by her father, or by Albus Dumbledore.

Summary
Bill Weasley was excited to marry Fleur. Ready for the wonderful life they would have together, hand and hand, a united front. Regardless of the impending war and his recent disfigurement at the hands of Greyback.
War and ignored wolfish tendencies were not destined to break the couple apart. Life had other things in the works. Being forced to lock down with just your new spouse you only knew for a year has a funny way of changing perceptions, revealing other sides you never knew living in such tight quarters.
On top of a crumbling marriage, Bill has to contend with the aftereffects of being mauled by a werewolf. Does he heed the call of the wolf or tune the wolf out?
