Summary
Imagine the horror Dumbledore felt when the first year check-in on Harry resulted in the Dursleys telling him they had no idea what he was talking about, as they never had the young Potter as their ward.
A toddler laughs joyfully, wobbling towards the woman who has crazier hair than he does. “Come here, itty-bitty-baby!” Bellatrix cackled, her eyes shining.

Summary
Two, perhaps nearly three, years after the fall of Lord Voldemort, the wizarding world begins to heal. But deep in the shadows, Bellatrix Lestrange still burns with the need to prove her loyalty to her vanished master. When fate places young Harry Potter in her path on a cold, storm-lashed night, she prepares to strike the ultimate blow of revenge.
And yet… she doesn’t.In a single moment of clarity, Bellatrix sees not the Boy Who Lived, not the symbol of her master’s downfall, but a child, bruised and neglected, cast away by the very world that claims to worship him. Driven by a twisted blend of vengeance, obsession, and something achingly close to maternal yearning, she steals him from the Muggles’ grasp, determined to shape him into something greater. Her own dark legacy.
As Harry grows under Bellatrix’s fierce and fractured care, molded by the shadows instead of the light, questions begin to stir within him. Who is he really? Savior or weapon? Pawn or player? As the years pass and Hogwarts looms on the horizon, the world teeters unknowingly on the edge of a future rewritten.
One boy. One woman. One night that changed everything.

Eroticizing the Worst: Writing to Transform Trauma by jezzie (unclubbable), unclubbable
Fandom: Captain America (Movies), Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling, Marvel Cinematic Universe, Sherlock (TV)
14 Jul 2025
Summary
I'm a survivor of childhood sexual trauma, and I grew up to be a psychotherapist who specializes in working with other survivors of trauma.
All of my life, I have created stories about the fictional characters that I love as a way to work through serious issues. I don't think I'm the only one who does this.
I'm enormously interested in understanding the stories themselves and the ways that we use them. So I'm collecting my own here into a series of sort. Though they span fandoms, over the multiple decades that I have been writing they have begun to tell a story of their own.

Summary
Original summary: This is a very strange, very dark fic. Hermione initiates a strange affair with Snape, which mostly consists of her coming to him after Revels and helping him unwind with some very kinky sex, but without really talking about it.
Addendum: "Unwind" is code for "deal with his trauma." This fic is subtle but focused in exploring how someone might use pretty unhinged SM to deal with pretty extraordinary trauma.

Summary
Hermione receives an offer from Lucius Malfoy to switch sides, and decides to take him up on it as an opportunity to get information. She convinces Snape to help her "prepare" for what's coming, and receives quite an education at his hands.
This fic was written as an explicit attempt to understand and explain some of the dynamics of intimate partner abuse.

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?

Wear Me Like A Locket Around Your Throat by VivyPotter

Summary
“This is Mr Riddle, one of our Slytherin prefects. I’m sure he’ll make you feel right at home. Mr Riddle, this is Harrison Peters. He’s just been sorted into Slytherin and will be joining you in sixth year,” Dumbledore announced jovially, though Tom could see that sliver of constant suspicion in his gaze that had never quite faded.
“Harry,” the boy hurried to correct. “Just Harry.”
And then he stuck his hand out. How… plebeian, Tom noticed with delight. Walburga would probably faint.- Language:

(Podfic) Terrible, But Great by keitaro for Isalise
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
06 Jan 2025
Tags
Summary
“Harry Potter.”
The cold burrowed into his flesh, the scent of cloying death and molding earth clogged his senses.
“The Boy Who Lived.”
A strange sense of loss and disappointment rose within him. That brilliant, yet cruel boy could’ve been so much more if he’d not stepped down this bloodied path.
Terrible, but great. He pitied this creature.
“Come to die.”
Harry Potter faced the flash of green light with the bravery of a Gryffindor and the broken heart of a Hufflepuff.
---
When Death gives Harry a third option, one that can save everyone he ever cared about, he takes it unflinchingly. Even when that means doing the impossible: falling in love with the enemy, Tom Riddle.

The art of being a Necromancer or how Harry Potter learned when to and not to raise the dead by fantasy_lover08

Summary
Harry Potter was done with everything and everyone. Not only has his only friends abandoned him because he was, unwillingly and unknowingly mind you, entered into the stupid Tournament, but the whole school was calling him a cheater and a fraud! Again! Hexes and curses were being thrown at him left, right and center!
After a tripping jinx that landed him on the bottom of the moving stairs and in the arms of none other than his school nemesis - Draco Malfoy, and the odd Slytherin boy from their year- Theodore Nott, Harry is offered the protection of the two boys, but there is a catch, of course.
Well, lucky for the two Slytherins, Harry's got nothing more to lose and all the more to gain from their little deal. -

Scream For Me by Hella_Bad

Summary
It was 10 am in the chapel, the sun still rising through the stained glass windows. Rey sat there on the bench, fists clenched in the skirt of her new white cotton dress, looking like a terrified little mouse caught in a trap. In her sixteen years, she had never been afraid of anything in her life, but this...this was something else entirely.
Last night when she went to bed her life was normal, a warm bed, a roof over her head, school, friends...freedom. Today, she found herself living in a completely different world than the one she existed in the day before. One in which she was completely and utterly fucked.
A dark Star Wars story about our favorite space whores. Mix in some handmaid's tale vibes, captivity trope, a helluva lotta non-con and Ladies and Gentlemen you have “Scream for Me”Bookmarked by TheLarch

Summary
There is a picture in one of the books of a worn young man, heavily scarred with gentle eyes. Remus Lupin, he is identified as. The man who was watching Charles, and presumably Harry. The man who died defending them. Harry traces his fingertips over the man’s face and wonders.
And then he stops, and reels all those thoughts into a tangled knot and tucks it away.
They didn’t want him; that’s fine. He doesn’t want them either.

Alternatively; Harry James Evans is Sorted Slytherin, desperate to stay hidden from the family that gave him up so many years ago. Severus Snape owes debts to a child presumed dead and the child's tormented godfather; and now he has a cunning, paranoid snake to charm all without tipping anyone else off to the boy's true identity.

Summary
Unspeakable Granger wakes up with missing memories in Hogwarts...in 1942. Hermione might not remember much, but she knew that even post-Voldemort, there were many wannabe dark lords she and her friends had to fight against. The world wasn't automatically sunshine and roses just because they've defeated Voldemort.
Also, go back? What go back? If she doesn't even know how she got here with all the wounds she had, then there's really no guarantee that a safe way to jump forward exists!
Yet the possibilities that are open to her...
if she could change the wizarding world half a century earlier, maybe they'd be more prepared against dark lords in the future. Perhaps a better world for the friends she'd left. With this in mind, Hermione Curie (Granger) sets out to use her field healer and master arithmancer abilities to the fullest (if she had to invent a couple of things earlier than they actually happened in her old future, so be it). Not to mention that in her very-biased-opinion, the wizarding world needs to be dragged out of its old prejudices, kicking and screaming if necessary. But who is that particular prefect? Her mind itches at seeing him…
