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
It's been seven years since the war, five years since Hermione and Ron broke up, and...oh dear Merlin, two years since Hermione went on a date.
But it's fine. She has friends. She has her work.
Very complicated work that keeps her late in the office one Friday night. That takes her down to the Department of Mysteries, and back to the Hall of Prophecies for the first time in ten years.
And in that one night, her humdrum life is thrown completely out of the window.
Suddenly her life is one bizarre twist after another. Prophecies and potions and and caves and cliffs and house-elves and and and-
And being stuck in the past. Stuck ten years in the past with Bellatrix Lestrange.
That bloody prophecy.

Summary
If Severus Snape had more than a token amount of control over his own life, he would not have chosen to relive 1991, and he certainly would have appreciated being allowed the luxury of his own body. However, since this was the situation he found himself in, he was hell bent on making the best of it. On the whole, he expected he’d do a better job of it than Potter, and why not? After all, as a fully trained wizard with a mastery in potions, nearly two decades experience in espionage, and knowledge of the future — he’d certainly expect to do better than an arrogant teenager more focused on quidditch than his responsibilities.
In which Severus Snape learns that being The Boy Who Lived is rather more difficult than he would have expected and he overthinks everything because being a ten-year-old is boring.

Summary
Delve into an unofficial 8th book as Harry and Hermione return for their seventh year. Harry struggles with the aftermath of the Battle of Hogwarts, death of loved ones, and maintaining relationships. Failing classes and avoiding friends, he questions his decision to be an Auror and his future place in the Wizarding world. A sullen Draco rallies and returns to Hogwarts, putting on a brave face for the redemption of his family. Ron is fumbling at the ministry while Hermione practically teaches Transfiguration in light of a suitable teacher. But Harry’s most challenging task is not playing frenemies with Malfoy like it’s to win the House Cup, it’s grasping for confusing closure when a door is just opening.
This ‘8th year’ Hogwarts book takes place directly after Deathly Hallows and hits all the normal points of school: feasts, school life, Hagrid, Hogsmeade, Weasley chaos, Christmas, Rita Skeeter scandals, exams, the House Cup, and culminates in resolving an end of year mystery. Mostly cannon compliant minus the obvious. Relationship simmers, twists, and erupts. Book becomes quite explicit. Snape remains Snapishly Snape.
Custom chapter title artwork and crafted with love.

Summary
Harry Potter has been living at Hogwarts for most of his life under the primary care of Albus Dumbledore and Minerva McGonagall - safe, happy and loved. That is, until one fateful night in 1989, when he is kidnapped by Death Eaters and taken straight to Lord Voldemort.
At first, the plan is simple: obtain the prophecy, torture the boy, kill the boy… but then Voldemort discovers that Harry is a horcrux, and everything changes.
Trapped on an island manor with a monster - hurt, homesick and more scared than he’s ever been in his life - all Harry can do is try to survive the terrible new world he finds himself in, and perhaps – maybe – eventually – find a way back home.

Summary
"Harry Potter is mine."
Voldemort took a graceful step forward, the air around him clinging close and darkening as if he had called the shadows to accompany him. "Mine to harm," he continued, his voice a soft. "Mine to conquer. Mine to defeat. Mine to torture. Mine... to kill."
Red eyes bore into green, staring intently as if peering into his very soul."And mine..." His magic brushed against Harry, nearly suffocating with its potency, choking him and binding him all at once, marking him for a fate he never wanted. "... to decide when to kill."
Harry returned from the graveyard to a world drunk on lies and fear only to be taken prisoner by Voldemort right from under Dumbledore's nose. One month wasting away in captivity left him empty, haunted by the deaths of those stolen from him.
Until everything changes, when Harry gains the Dark Lord's interest and is set free of his prison. When he is entered into an altogether different fight - one in which he must finally choose what he really wants.

Summary
Despite everything, Harry understood their fear.
It had happened so gradually that he couldn’t be sure when it began. At first, no one had even noticed anything…or at least if they noticed, they didn’t think it was that strange. Wixen aged more slowly than muggles, after all; so what if Harry still looked seventeen on his thirtieth birthday?
In which Harry is thrown through the Veil, reunited with his long lost godfather, and confronted with the leader of the muggleborn uprising - Dark Lord Voldemort.
