Summary
Some of the elves in Valinor rope themselves into (or get roped into) shenanigans as a direct result of the magical shockwave (yes, the second one). Whether it ends well for Valinor or for the wizarding world is well… it’s a difficult thing to predict.
OR
Galadriel and Ereinion are bored; Elrond wants to let his inner mad scientist out; Fingolfin just wants to wallow alone for a while; Finarfin is in desperate need of a vacation and Feanor decides it’s time to break himself and his only blood-related grandson out of the Halls of Mandos.

Summary
The rock falls and Obito dies on impact. His eyes are burned, as per village protocol. Kakashi mourns, and so does Rin. Zetsu and Madara can’t get their hands on that particular Uchiha, but they adapt. Life moves on, and so does everyone else.
15 years later, Naruto turns 12. Team 7 is formed, with Kakashi Hatake as its jonin instructor.
The story is somehow completely different, and yet exactly the same.

Summary
Alec Lightwood was raised as a soldier, a pawn. When the Circle falls, he loses his best friend. Forced to separate from his parabatai and knowing a lot of Circle secrets, Alec learns to live in New York. He befriends Downworlders despite the Clave’s and Circle’s beliefs, unwilling to follow people who would prefer him dead. Despite popular belief, it’s pretty hard for him to raise his younger siblings, all the while hiding his deepest secret.
Or
Alec needs to deal with his best friend’s obnoxious little sister and fake-double, while navigating his love life and managing the New York Institute. He also has to control Isabelle and Max… this was definitely not in the job description!

Summary
Maglor hadn’t expected to be dragged from his wandering of the beaches of 1990s Spain to land in a magical castle he had vaguely known existed. But even more shocking than his dramatic summoning, for there was actually no other words to describe it, Maglor was shocked to see six other people in the room with him - six people who looked suspiciously like his dead brothers. He wasn’t sure if he had just had too much to drink the night before, and if it was all a hallucination, or if it was all real. And if it was real, what was he to do?
OR
Maglor has an existential crisis, and multiple arguments with himself; Maedhros drowns himself in guilt for leaving his little brother to survive for centuries alone; Celegorm tries to reconcile memories of his past life and his new life and is shocked to discover they’re so similar; Caranthir wants to leave (and avoid this weird new family of his); Curufin wants a functional family dynamic (and what is wrong with his new brother?) and the twins want to explore the world.

Summary
“Terrifying dream or not, it definitely didn’t go away.
He didn’t sign up for this. Next time, honest to Merlin, he’s checking every inch of every page with a magnifying glass, and then referring to every other book with the spell and inspecting those pages as well. Why, you ask? That’s excessive, you say! Imagine Lucius Malfoy lounging on your couch, three years after he practically killed you and two months after he supported your arch-nemesis. It was very, very creepy.”OR
Harry uses a spell that transfers memories from powerful historical figures into people living in the same century as the spellcaster. He expects Merlin, or even the founders, to appear. What he gets are the seven sons of Feanor. He is not even slightly prepared.

Tags
Summary
In 1998, Harry Potter dies.
1975, Lily Evans gets a letter from an anonymous source. She doesn't want to adhere to it, not if it means interacting with the bullies that are the marauders. But she has to find some way to prevent anything bad that might happen in the future, and that mostly surrounds the Dark Lord who was terrorizing the world. She didn't expect to find magical creatures, secret organizations and least of all, friendship with the marauders. But she's also lost some things, and she might lose more as the war progresses.
The letter changed her life, but she doesn't know if it's for the better... or for the worst.

Summary
Dr. Strange encounters Thor and his sister, Loki. He shouldn't have underestimated them, but well, sometimes some lessons have to be learnt the hard way. Perhaps he should have just left them alone?
OR
Doctor Stephen Strange had learned a lot about villains in his time in the Dark Dimension. And so, he could say with absolute certainty that Loki, who had wrecked New York in 2012, so he could rule the world, was a villain. There was no doubt about it. Which is why, on one fine afternoon, when he sensed Loki’s presence on Earth, his immediate response was to summon a portal under Loki’s feet and throw him into a vacuum.

We’re definitely taking over the world (with or without you!) by Scatteredlight

Summary
The Ambarussa get it into their heads that they should take over the world. They don’t go about it like the lunatic Vala, Morgoth, but they’re not very legal either? It’s not like they learnt all the laws, and even if they did, taking over the world seems to be a good challenge! Unfortunately, the rest of the world probably does not think of it like that… so, hopefully they don’t find out!
