Summary
“I don’t know,” says Simon. “I don’t even know where we’re going, they won’t tell me.” He buries his face in his knees and arms again, and Grace hears something that sounds suspiciously like a sob. Maybe Simon’s eyeballs were sweating too.
“You have to promise you’ll come back,” Grace demands, his own lower lip trembling. "Pinky promise!" He jabs his pinky into Simon’s cheek and pokes him with it until Simon looks up.
Simon’s eyes are red-rimmed, but Grace’s glad that he’s managed to surprise just the tiniest smile from him. “I’m not pinky promising, that shit’s for babies,” he says, eyeing Grace’s extended pinky with mock disdain.
“Then how am I supposed to know you’ll keep your promise?” Grace shoots back.
“We gotta seal the deal with something else,” Simon says seriously.
or
A modern-day AU with no astrophage or the quiet rapture where Simon and Grace are childhood friends and met at a playground when they were eight.

Summary
After surviving the unsurvivable, Simon is brutally executed at the hands of Consolidation of Iron, rather than granted his freedom. He awakes in a morgue—memories shattered in two—and fundamentally changed in a way nobody is prepared for. Simon must battle his deteriorating psyche, a traumatic past seeping through the cracks, and something eldritch pulling at the edges of his reality, as he re-learns a story everyone seems to know but himself.

Summary
“Do you think he meant it?” Harry asked, once the professor was gone, tracing the gilded lettering of his own name on the letter he'd given Harry. “We're really Wizards?”
“It makes sense,” Tom shrugged, though he could hardly look away from his own letter, the proof of what he'd always known, in some pit inside himself, that he was something different from everyone around him, that he was something better. He'd believed the first priest that had told him the same thing, albeit it opposite in nature, that he was a devil. It had made sense at the time, just as this answer did. Anything that offered an explanation for his being set so apart.
“I'm glad it's both of us,” Harry said, green eyes somehow greener, the natural brightness in him turning incandescent. Tom had thought he'd known the answer for that before too, dull hours at Sunday service spent gazing at the sun illuminating stained glass portraits, thinking: angel. “I'm glad we're going together.”
“We'll always go together,” Tom said, knowing it as fact, unable to imagine anything different. Wherever he went, Harry was sure to follow. It'd been that way forever. It would surely always be that way.

Summary
In another world, Harry Potter was spared. Raised by a Pureblood guardian in Lord Voldemort's Britain, he isn't special and enters his seventh year wanting nothing more than to be allowed to go into Arithmancy research and keep his head down.
But after a chance encounter with a man who later arrives at Hogwarts on behalf of the Ministry, to evaluate the seventh-year students for potential, it looks like it may not be so simple.
Marvolo Gaunt seems to have his eye on Harry. The trouble is, Harry has no idea why.
On hiatus with a new, fully revised, and completed version coming out in summer 2026.

Summary
“He has a point though, Ron.”
“Who, Harry? Of course, he’s right! Just look at what they’ve done.”
“No, not Harry, Malfoy. What he stands to gain through his inheritance is very important to Wizarding society." Hermione placed her book back on her lap, thumbing the curve of the spine as she spoke. "You’ll stand to gain quite a bit too, Harry. Or so I’d imagine. The Potter name is an Ancient and Noble one as well."Just one conversation can accidentally dig up a long-buried secret. When Harry goes to find out his inheritance, he discovers much more than he can imagine.
Just who is Harry Potter and did he ever really exist in the first place?

Summary
"Maybe you should kill them," Harry says. He's sitting perched on the stairs, hands clasped together, green eyes watching Tom and his irritating year mates. His form is hazy around the edges, an almost translucent quality to his image.
"I can't just kill people," Tom says.
"Not in public.”Role-Reversal where Harry is the Dark Lord and Tom Riddle is the Boy-Who-Survived.

Summary
Harry Potter seeks meaning when his life ends far too soon and he is reborn in the past as the daughter of Walburga and Orion Black. He has big goals for changes he wants to achieve in the wizarding world but it is easier said than done when your mind rebels against being in a girl's body and your body rebels against the terrifying parents you are being brought up by.
Harry had always thought being an orphan was the worst fate he could have had but after having Sirius' parents as his own, he can now safely say that he would much prefer to be an orphan again, thank you very much!

Summary
"No. We were brought here for a reason, Sammy." He grinned at her, a flash of white teeth. "We're here to wreak havoc."
Sam was not on board with that idea. Absolutely not. They weren't here to exploit this new world. They weren't going to mess with the story just because they could. And she wasn't grinning right back at him.
No.
Of course not.
They were here to make things better. They were here with the foreknowledge of what would happen so they could help people. She wasn't thinking about how much chaos they could create, or how someone like Jim being Harry Potter was going to destroy the entire plot. And she definitely wasn't thinking about the damage they could do to just about everything with magic at their disposal.
She wasn't.
"You're right," Sam leaned across the table so they were inches apart as she whispered, "Let's fuck shit up."

Summary
FBI legend Dean Winchester's got it all: supportive friends, snarky colleagues, a boss who has his back and a job he's too good at to get fired. The one thing that would make his life even better would be for things to work out between him and Cas, a hot guy with ridiculous taste in movies that Dean may or may not be falling in love with.
[Actually, the one thing that would make Dean's life a hell of a lot easier would be for Cas to not be Castiel Novak — the infamous Archangels’ alleged arson specialist. But that's a story for another time.]Series

Summary
Note: not about the kind of vacuum that sucks up dirt in muggle homes.
Hermione Granger goes back in time, not to save the future Dark Lord's soul, and not kill him. Instead, she figures she'll offer him some competition for the role of World Leader. She knows that when Grindelwald falls, there will be room for a new player on the field. At least this way, Hermione knows she's the lesser of two evils.
Still, playing politics against Tom Riddle is near suicide, especially when he has the home-field advantage. When his interest in her evolves past that of their rivalry, Hermione wonders if she shouldn't have just killed him when she had the chance.

Summary
There are, surprisingly, worse things than dying on the floor of the Chamber of Secrets after having your soul leeched by the memory of a boy from the 1940's. Like having your mother hover over you and forbid you to ride a broom. Or being watched with pitying eyes wherever you go. Or realizing that the very boy who tried to kill you is not, in fact, dead like everyone believes, but instead lives inside your head.
Ginny Weasley is forced to grin and bear it as she navigates school, a somewhat crippled social life, and the horrors of her past. Tom Riddle is just along for the ride.

Summary
They sought her out for conversation sometimes, cornering her in the garden or at the park, not that they ever had much to say. Really, Harriet thought snakes were rather dull.
---------
Harriet Potter has always been odd. Between having a shadow that moves on its own and chatting with grass snakes, learning she's a witch really isn't the strangest thing to happen to the bespectacled girl with a lightning scar on her neck.
Harriet attends Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where she makes new friends, encounters a prickly Potions Master, learns about the Boy Who Lived, and meets the enigmatic Defense Against the Dark Arts instructor, Professor Tom Slytherin.

Summary
Voldemort, unexpectedly short on money and growing tired of both Wormtail's existence and Nagini's incessant pleas to eat the wizard, has a most brilliant idea: crowdfunding, and the first reward tier is a livestreamed broadcast of Nagini getting her wish. It is a massive success - and the people demand more.
Said 'people' just so happens to include one Boy-Who-Lived.
