    Summary

    Ron Weasley was never meant to stand out.
    Sixth son. Hand-me-down wand. Overshadowed brother.

    But one strange summer changes everything. A life saved, a vampire summoned, and whispers of runes long lost to history — all before Ron's even set foot in Hogwarts.

    Now, as he boards the train to begin his magical education, Ron finds himself walking a path no Weasley has before: one lined with secrets, silver, and green. The Sorting Hat pauses. Slytherin chooses. And the world begins to shift.

    Meanwhile, Harry Potter, newly escaped from a cupboard under the stairs, makes his first friend — a boy with nervous hands and quick instincts — and together, they step into a world neither fully understands.

    But the old magic stirs.
    A forgotten prophecy watches.
    And fate has chosen more than one boy.

    A canon-divergent reimagining of Year One, told from Ron’s perspective — where bravery wears darker robes, destiny runs deeper, and being a hero doesn’t always mean being the Chosen One.

    Summary

    TBA is now officially in AO3!

    Year Zero: The Wizarding War

    Just when things appeared to be turning around, an unfortunate turn of events lands Ron from the Hogwarts battlefield to a strange place with only Snape, of all people, for company. Because apparently, he is dead. Or at least, very nearly there.
    But then Ron is given the chance to change his fate: accept death and move to the next great adventure, return to the world of the living at the height of the war, or go further back, for a chance to relive his life and save even more.
    The question is, what will he have to do in exchange?

    Year One: Beginning With A Stone

    Ron wakes up on July 1991 with memories of his old life, and a new sense of purpose. On the first year of his new life, the board is set for sweeping changes, new friends and wild discoveries to teach Ron that, even for a time traveler, there is still always more to learn, and something new to experience.
    Can Ron stay one step ahead of all the surprises awaiting him, and help Harry survive their first encounter with a disembodied but still dangerous Dark Lord?

    Summary

    For Teddy Lupin, Harry Potter would become a Dark Lord. For Teddy Lupin, Harry Potter would take down the Ministry or die trying. He should have known that Hermione and Ron wouldn't let him do it alone.

    Summary

    Instead of three Gryffindors, the trio consists of a Slytherin, a Ravenclaw, and a Hufflepuff. No matter what, they're on each other's teams. And also, they probably need more than just two friends, and maybe even some competent adults.

    And meanwhile, in the firmaments, the war builds.

    Or: the power the Dark Lord Knows Not is friendship, but in a split-knuckled, brutally co-dependent sort of way.

    (Alt Title: The Golden Trio Build A Death Star.)

    Summary

    "...The embrace was protective, unlike their previous nights in the tent where his best mate had been stuck in the middle. Instead of facing the unknown beyond his bedroom door and the dark truths of his psyche, Harry sought comfort in the warmth of the taller wizard. With his face buried in Ron's copper-colored locks, he was lulled to sleep by the familiar smell of cinnamon… longing to be overtaken by such a wonderful scent…

    They hadn’t talked about it the next day."

    When the war is over, those who are left behind are forced to pick up the pieces... and adjust to their new post-war lives

    Or, I wanted to make everything even more violent and traumatizing and give R + Hr their flowers and an even worse time, to really get them on par with Harry.

    Or, I wrote a silly little Rarry one-shot the other night and then spent twelve hours vomiting this onto the page. I changed some things, kept a couple characters alive, killed Percy, made it an actual slow-burn...

    "It has become increasingly obvious... I CAN DENY IT NO LONGER..." *Adds Ron Weasley-Centric tag* "This is a Ron story."

     

    **Updating some earlier chapters I’m not as proud of (3/11)
