    Summary

    Vanyel is given another choice after defeating Leareth. He can go back in time to when he first came to Haven and first fell in love with Tylendel, root out the enemy, and prevent Valdemar from ever facing the war that had plagued it for nearly twenty years. A different chance to serve Valdemar and save its people from destruction.

    But he can't save himself from the grief of seeing old friends (and lover) alive after all this time. And how will they react to him, now more than twice his age, hair silvered, and more powerful than anything they could've expected out of a once skinny boy exiled from Forst Reach?

    Summary

    This is a rationalfic take on "The Last Herald-Mage", inspired by HPMOR and other works. Accessible regardless of whether you've read the original series. Though far from perfect, the characters are trying to do their best with the information, intelligence, and skills they have. Unfortunately, their enemies are also doing that, and sometimes even reasonable decisions can turn out badly.

    [Meta note: this starts out a bit slow, and book 1 is kind of a different genre from the rest. In particular, the rationalist content is fairly subtle at the start, and the effective altruism themes come out a lot more towards the end of book 2 and early book 3. If you’re moderately enjoying book 1 but a little bored, try sticking it out until the end of book 2.]

    Ashamed of him, Vanyel's father sends his disappointing son to live with his strict aunt, the Herald-Mage Savil. Although he knows things will change, Vanyel dramatically underestimates just how different his life is about to become. Sparks fly as he discovers both love and magic.

    Summary

    Tylendel doesn’t offer last chance to turn back, even in his thoughts. He’s fairly sure that if he did, Vanyel would turn around right here and head straight back to Haven.

    Vanyel groans and rubs at his face. “We’re nearly there now. Are you ready to face the Ashkevron hordes?”

    “With you beside me?” Tylendel says. “I can face anything.”

    Summary

    Home is where the heart(s) is (are), but what about when you no longer know where you fit in to the story?

    Feeling rather out of place once he gets back to his own Universe, the Master has to figure out just who he is now, while also being the only person aware of both the Doctor's slowly collapsing Timeline, and Death's dissapearance.

    Note: The author of this is no longer interested in the Harry Potter fandom, however they will continue to update this until it is finished, this may take a few years, however, as it depends on when they have the inspiration to write it.
