    Summary

    "Angry?" Valarr echoed, incredulous. He squeezed her bloody hands tight. "Lady Arryn, you are a Maester in all but the chain. You just saved his life when I could do nothing but watch him die."

    He pulled her to her feet. She was shaking now, the adrenaline crash hitting her hard. Valarr wrapped his arms around her, pulling her gore-soaked body against his chest, heedless of the mess.

    "You are not just beautiful," he whispered into her hair, fierce and low, so only she could hear. "You are brilliant. And you are terrifying. And I have never been more proud to be yours."


    In which Valarr is betrothed to an Arryn girl who has a few scalpels and herbs up her sleeve.

    Summary

    “Mother... if I were... In the event that one found oneself... shall we say interested in interacting with someone who was not normally included in our social circles, would that... would one find oneself quite dismissed from the family, do you suppose?”

    The first wizarding war didn't end. It just changed tactics.

    Hidden in bureaucracy, buried in laws, and baked into bloodlines, wizarding society is still divided into those who belong, and those who don't. But Hermione Granger has never backed down from a challenge, and she's never wanted anything more than to belong.

    Not every war is fought with battles and curses. Some are fought with hushed conversations, careful compromises, and a revolution that begins in a library.

    Summary

    (I am the one who says 'fuck you') - Benjamin Garcia, 'Ode to the Corpse Flower'.

    Petunia drips magic the way she drips anger. Sparingly. Subtly. Nothing overt or obnoxious. Nothing that attracts the stares of other children or the suspicion of adults. Just things that help her. Her dolls line back up after the football Lily was kicking about ruins their perfect symmetry. Her bed makes itself while she brushes her teeth meticulously. Tea that is slightly too hot or too cold settles to the perfect temperature. Magic maintains the realm of order she has built around herself.

    (A witch!Petunia and muggle!Lily AU, covering the Marauders' years at Hogwarts and the First Wizarding War).

    Summary

    Life hadn't been kind to Sirius Black. Having escaped one prison only to be placed in another, his struggles with his own mind and maladaption to life among the Order go unnoticed by everyone as they prepare for a quietly approaching war.

    Well, almost everyone. Perhaps life realized he was owed some kindness after all.

    Summary

    In the chaos of battle, during a duel with Bellatrix, Sirius Black falls through the Veil. Yet death does not claim him. Instead, he awakens decades earlier—fifteen years old again, trapped in the past.

    Armed with knowledge of what’s to come and scars no one else can see, Sirius turns to his Uncle Alphard. He’s taught to play the perfect Black heir while quietly shifting pieces behind the scenes. He walks the halls of Hogwarts with ghosts at his side, cherishing each moment with the friends he’s come back to save.

    Then, something changes. A new student arrives. Wild curls, fire-bright eyes, and a gaze far too knowing for her age. He knows her.

    "Kitten?" he whispers, stunned.

    "Siri?" she breathes and runs to him across the Great Hall.

    In 1998, the war was lost. The Boy Who Lived is dying, magic stripped in a cruel twist of fate. The Order is shattered. With hope fading, a forgotten ritual is found and a desperate plan takes shape.

    Now, twenty-three years in the past, Sirius Black and Hermione Dagworth-Granger reunite to stop the war before it begins. Secrets must be kept. Destinies broken. Fates defied. And maybe, just maybe, love can find its way in unexpected places.
