Summary
People forget that if you asked the people of ancient Sparta, Aphrodite was a goddess of war, that she was connected to the ocean and war and blood and along with beauty and love. Of her several epitaphs, she had been the Dark One, that it was her son Eros who sowed chaos at her whim and at her feet, and that the gods feared love as much as they craved it. That another of her names was Ishtar, as surely as it was also Venus, goddess of war and beauty and love and defier of death.
When the daughter of Aphrodite, touched by Death, looks across the face of lost Percy Jackson, she certainly remembers all about her godly parent, because she had been a mythology scholar in her first life, and she hears the call of war as she looks into sea-green eyes.
Or Sena Strand is much like her mother, and when something is her’s, she plays for keeps.

Summary
It was a long shot—an impossibly long shot—but it was all he had.
Harry lunged for the photo, his bloodied nose dripping crimson onto the paper as he scrambled for something to write with. But Vernon had locked away all of Harry’s things to prevent him from contacting anyone. In desperation, Harry smeared his blood across the photo with trembling fingers, scrawling three words:
Please help me.
He signed it with a shaky, almost illegible ‘Harry’ before stumbling to Hedwig’s cage. He flung the door open and shoved the photo into her talons, his breath coming in sharp, uneven gasps. Vernon’s angry bellows grew louder as he forced the door open, splinters of wood flying into the room.
“T-take it to Professor Snape!” Harry rasped, barely able to speak through the panic and exhaustion.
Hedwig let out a distressed hoot as Harry squeezed her through the narrow bars of the window. He turned just as Vernon burst into the room, his face purple with fury, his breathing ragged.

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.- Language:

Summary
When a reclusive witch living in a muggle town notices a sickly, gaunt child digging through her trashcan she is alarmed. When she sees a lightning bolt scar on his forehead she is at the Ministry’s door faster than she thought was possible. When a malnourished, horrified, seven-year-old Harry Potter is brought to the Minister’s office, he is put into the care of Albus Dumbledore. With no time to care for the boy himself, Dumbledore entrusts Harry to the one man he believes will protect him at all costs: Severus Snape. Because no matter how bitter or guarded he was, Snape would never turn away the child who carries her eyes.
ON A HIATUS.

Summary
This story started as a series of drabbles, ficlets, and could-have-been-canon scenes beginning in June of 1995 wherein Fred and Hermione slowly become more than friendly acquaintances. Similarly, this fic itself has gradually morphed into much more than that, and certainly more than I had ever intended it to be.
It’s now 250k+ words of my explaining by example all of the ways that these two could - SHOULD - have been canon, and what that might have looked like if it ran alongside the events of the original books (or most of them, anyway).
That said, this story is significantly darker than canon, and it touches on some of the trauma that was previously brushed over, as well as injecting some where it makes sense to have occurred. There’s plenty of humor and joy, but there’s also a lot of pain that, within the context of the story, has good reason to be felt.
Regarding the Underage tag, the characters are ages sixteen and eighteen at the first occurrence. If this upsets your sensibilities, this is not the story for you. Especially triggering content will be called out in chapter notes.
