Summary
What would you do if you woke up in an 12-year-old's body with adult memories and the knowledge that you're supposed to be a villain?
A 34-year-old mother from 2025 dies and awakens as Petunia Evans in 1971. She knows exactly how this story is supposed to go—Petunia becomes bitter, magic-hating, and crucial to Harry Potter's survival. So she tries to change nothing. Stay invisible. Let events unfold.
Then she gets Sorted into Slytherin.
Now she's mastering magic she's not supposed to have, forming impossible friendships across house lines, and discovering that erasing a child's memories comes with consequences no one warned her about. Her Seer visions are getting darker, her failed Animagus transformation is changing her into something inhuman, and her desperate attempts to preserve the timeline are creating entirely new disasters.
Some knowledge is too dangerous to keep. Some futures are too important to save.- Language:

Bookmarker's Notes
He was not here, he would never be here. He was not her brother anymore. He was in the seas now. A pile of flesh and bones that would be swallowed by it. Becoming nothing more than food for whatever lived down there to gorge themselves upon.
A sob caught in her throat. She tried to scream, but she could not. Her hands went to wrap around her neck, clawing at it to force the sound out, but it did nothing. She choked. Her throat felt like it was burning. Struggling even to get breath to her lungs.
She was caught in the sea again. Everything that was, her parents' ashen faces, Daemon’s morose humor, Baela’s hand in hers, all gone. Faded away. As if she had been pushed off the rocky ledge into the sea. Drowning. She was drowning with Laenor, only she looked around, but he was not there. His coffin was nowhere in sight. Nothing was as she floated down. She could see nothing. The light from the surface dimmer the further down she went. The current was all there was. Dragging her down into the depths of the sea.
“Laena,” it was Daemon’s voice. It sounded as if he were an ocean away. Panicked. Trying to keep her here with him as if she really was drowning before him. Throwing out a line before it was too late she was lost to him to the tide. “Laena breathe.” He cupped her face in between his warm palms. They felt so warm, but she supposed anything that wasn't. The pads of those warm digits drew gentle circles into the apples of her cheeks.
She made note of that somehow beneath the darkness she was. His voice was so far away, but she could feel his touch no different than if she had not been drowning or what felt like she was drowning. Funny how that worked. “I’m right here. You are right here with me. Just breathe. Breathe for me Laena. I need you to breathe.” Breathe. Just breathe. How does one breathe when they are drowning?
“I’m drowning.” Where his voice sounded faint her own sounded a water-logged whisper from the depths of her mind. Had she said it aloud? Could anyone hear it?
She tried looking around and all she saw was the sea. She closed her eyelids with a flutter. Squeezing them shut so as not to see the darkness. It was easier this way. If she was still truly on that rocky outcrop with him and not wherever down wherever the current would take her, she had really made a spectacle of them. She supposed it didn't matter. Not when she could not breathe.
“Laena breath please just breathe. Please sweet girl. Please . Just breathe .” His voice broke and something in it broke her. Breaking through the haze. Forcing her to focus on the gentle ministrations of his fingers. Letting it lead her ashore and the water empty from her lungs.

in which alicent's need to please grown-ups takes an unsettling turn.
Bookmarked by smalldeath

Bookmarker's Notes
Alicent doesn’t think about what she did this summer even once. A testament to her ability to compartmentalize. Rhaenyra is in awe of it. Her emotions attack her like harpies, leave her winded and unable to function. Alicent dusts hers away with a broom, Cinderella-esque.

Bookmarker's Notes
“Daemon,” his mother repeated. He peered back up at her, her eyes positively grave. “I will not live to be an old woman,” she began, somber. “Not a grandmother. Not even a queen.”
Daemon’s throat swelled as she spoke, as he heard her voice faltering. Out of his control, his lips curled into a deep frown, resisting the tears that he knew were soon to fall.
“But you will go on, and she will go on,” she continued, dipping her face to touch the tip of her nose against the tiny button one on Rhaenyra’s face. “And life will go on.”
“Mother, please–” he groaned.
“You must hear this,” she scolded him. “Rȳbagon, ñuha tresy.” Like she commanded her mount, she commanded him, too. Listen, my son.
“She is yours,” Alyssa said. “Yours to raise, yours to protect. Yours to wed. Aōhon.” Yours. Daemon nodded, swallowing hard. “I made her for you,” she said softly, peering down at their baby in her arms. “She is for you, Daemon.”
Daemon held in a sob as Rhaenyra twitched in his mother’s arms, one hand curling into a tiny fist before falling back at her side, her whole arm the length of his hand, or so it seemed.
“We made her,” Daemon corrected his mother. “She is… of both of us.”
His mother nodded softly, tears now spilling down her crooked nose. “I know you will love her as she deserves,” she added.
“Before I even knew her, mother, I loved her.”
His mother sniffled. “I know. I know, sweet boy.”
Letting the sorrow wash over, Daemon finally began to cry in earnest. “I do not think I can bear it,” he sobbed. “If you are gone.”
Not a soul will care for me the way you do, mother.
“You will,” she comforted him, as if she could ever really understand what she meant to him. “May all your sorrow become love that you give unto her,” she nodded. “Raise her with all the love you deserve, and she shall return it unto you.”

Summary
Viserra Targaryen's life as the reluctant Lady of White Harbor was not one of songs, not with her insufferable husband as unbearable as he is old, and his magnetic young heir Desmond seemingly despising her.
Baelon the Brave never feels less brave than when he steals a crown from his beloved brother Aemon's daughter, all while raising his two quarrelsome sons alone.
When a widowed Viserra returns to King's Landing only six years after she was sent away, their parallel journeys of healing bring them together in the unlikeliest of ways. But ghosts of the past (alongside new revelations) aren't quite done with them yet.

Bookmarker's Notes
It was too horrible to bear thinking about, so Daemon would not. Over the years he had gained much practice in burying things that were too much to bear so deep in the vaults of his mind that sometimes he even forgot them for a time. Sometimes, he could even remember his grandmother with fondness. The world seemed a much kinder place to Daemon with those vaults firmly locked.

Summary
What if Alicent had not been so pious, and did not heed her father's warnings about Daemon Targaryen? What if she did not keep a grip on her passions? What if the King's children were not trueborn but bastards?
Daemon loved no one but himself. That was what he believed. But it was a lie. A green lie.
Aegon, son of Alicent, was the truthful heir to the throne. And Daemon would see that he ascends the Iron Throne.
A twisted love story🖤💚

Bookmarker's Notes
He thinks about the blood, the sound of it moving. He thinks about bodies and spirits colliding. He thinks about healing, about reaching out a hand, the Magdalene in the garden clutching for Christ. About the beginning, and the breath. About lying prostrate under the expansive chest of God.
He closes his eyes, and for a moment, he imagines he can still hear David singing.

“It’s not that simple, Jason,” Clark said. “You shot the Penguin in the head, live on television. You can’t exactly claim to be innocent in all of this.”
“Of course not,” Jason said. “I’ve never in my life claimed any such thing. But he didn’t beat the shit out of me because he was worried about the Penguin. He did that because he was furious his kid would break his rule. That was a beatdown by an angry Dad, Clark. Trust me, I’m familiar with how they feel.”

“He likes you, Hal.” He says, tone gentle, like Hal's going to snap. “We both do.”
Hal nods. “And when you say like—" Shut up, shut up, shut up. What's next, what profound stupidity will pour out of his mouth tonight? Do you mean like, or like-like? Jesus H. Christ.
“Like-like.” Well, at least Clark said it first. He can't even look him in the eyes. He's too embarrassed on Clark's behalf to, really. “We'd like to invite you—”
And now his eyes snap to Clark's, holding his gaze, firm and steady. “Are you asking me for a threesome with Batman?”

Summary
Jason is having a relatively smooth, uneventful evening. True, he’s actively fantasising about how he will tear Wójcik into itty-bitty pieces, but that’s about as peaceful as it gets in this hell-pit. He is in no way expecting Talia to come marching in. Then, when she proceeds to bury three knives into Wójcik and shoot him twice in the head, he knows shit’s about to get coconuts.
He is still sitting in lotus position, mouth ajar, when she makes a sharp, imperious gesture in his direction.
“Come. Time for learning has run out.”

It all started, Jason will later consider, when someone finally went and killed the Joker. Everything else sort of snowballed from there.
Or, maybe, it all started when a commie artist decided to up and open a homeless shelter slash commune in Gotham.
Or, maybe,it all started when Jason went and laid his fool eyes on those forearms and that jawline and didn’t immediately run for the fucking hills. Yeah. Yeah, that seems about right.
