Summary
Harry and Draco are perfectly fine, separately minding their business in 2004, when the Unspeakables conscript them into service... in the First War against Voldemort.
Come for mutual pining and forced proximity in a 1980 hotel room, stay for young Sirius and philosophising about immortality and wormholes. And an eighties cowboy soap opera.

Summary
A time travel fix-it. Mixes novel timeline with CQL Stygian Iron as it is a pretty convincing plot device.
An older, calmer, wiser Wei Wuxian is dropped back into the past. He will use whatever means possible to save all those he cares for even if that means redeeming those who should not be given a chance and changing the entire timeline.
Not much of a plot but a descriptive what-if.
(Gist: Wei Wuxian reforms Wen Ruohan and civil servants his way to family, happiness, and life.)

Summary
“That's it,” he says, and pulls on his jacket. “I'm saying something.”
“Laurent, don't,” Auguste says, reaching out to grab his arm. “Think about this, for a moment. They're probably roaring drunk and even if they weren't they'd be no match for you. Why don't you just let it go, enjoy a drink with your favorite brothers in the whole world, and have a nice, soothing night. Hmm?”
Laurent settles down, and takes a deep breath. He shucks off his jacket, earning him a warm smile from Auguste.
“You're right,” he says, letting the anxious breath his brothers had been holding wash over him before continuing. “If I'm going to eviscerate them and make them regret every decision that's led them to this point in their sorry little lives, I'm going to need a better plan."
His brothers groan in unison, and Laurent smiles evilly.

Summary
The boy shifts on his feet. “The year is two thousand and eighteen? Common Era?”
Slowly, smile still plastic on his face, Suguru faces Satoru. This fucking dumbass. “Satoru,” he says, dangerous edge to his voice, “what did you do?”
Satoru makes some bastardization of a sound, half between a laugh and a cough. “...Whoops?”
“I,” Suguru grits, pinching two fingers together, “am this close to mass murder.” He’s joking. Probably.
///OR: Shortly before Getō would have massacred a village, he and Gojō are thrust eleven years forward into a would-have-been future that Getō is conspicuously absent from.

Summary
After decades of violent war, peace between the nations of Parnassus and Promare has finally been established by the promised union of Prince Galo Thymos and Regent Lio Fotia. The two have never met, but their wedding is suddenly the most important event in recent history and they know that millions of lives are riding on their ability to get along, or, at least, their ability to fake it for the cameras.
Unfortunately, neither are the type to just sit back and let things happen.

Summary
The war with Akielos has settled into an uneasy alliance, and Prince Damianos is sent to spend a year at Arles. Seven years later, he returns to Vere to offer condolences to King Auguste on the death of his father. But Auguste’s younger brother is much changed, as is the political climate in Vere, and Prince Laurent is the target of an assassin. When Damen returns to Akielos, an unexpected guest is sent with him—but danger follows, and the fate of two kingdoms hangs in the balance.
What might have changed if Auguste lived—and what was inevitable, even so.
