    Summary

    At the cusp of defeat, Shadow Milk gets transported to a backwards world: Dark Enchantress was sealed away before she could do any lasting damage, the Beasts never came to be, and the Ancients rule over an otherwise peaceful world.

    Oh, and apparently his counterpart is dead and hailed as a hero. Because his life wasn’t already complicated enough.

    OR

    What happens when the guy who basically saved all of cookiekind comes back as an evil, corrupted version of himself?

    Healing. Healing is what happens…hopefully.

    Summary

    Theo blinked, and from one moment to the next, he had disappeared from his bedroom and appeared in the flaming wreck of a car crash. He had no idea how he had gotten here, or where "here" even was.

    Then, there's a fire breathing tiger calling him a demigod, and the spontaneous teleportation was only his second biggest issue.

    aka

    In a deadly world with even deadlier knowledge, Theo should just eat a lotus flower and let canon take his course. But, with everything he knows about the plot, knowing exactly what all his favorite characters were going to lose and suffer through...

    Well, Theo can't bring himself to ignore it all.

    Against Gods, Titans, and Fate itself, it's a feeble imitation of hope he has, but it's a kind of hope nonetheless. He's not strong enough to make the future perfect, but hell if he isn't going to die trying.

    Summary

    Oxford Languages defines briar as “any of a number of prickly scrambling shrubs, especially the sweetbrier and other wild roses.”

    ***

    Briar Theodore Evans was born the 30th of January, 1960 at 8:32 pm. A whole 6 minutes before Lily Jane Evans, who followed at precisely 8:38 pm. This wasn’t how it was supposed to happen. At least, it’s not how Briar remembered it happening when he read the books. Not that there was much he could remember about Harry Potter’s parents anymore. It had been years and they were such a small part. . .

    Or

    Briar may’ve come preloaded with the memories of a 23 year old—who once held a close to encyclopedic knowledge of the Harry Potter Series—but that does little to actually help him become powerful enough to fight Voldemort. He’s only capable of so much while stuck with a child’s brain and forced to grow up in 1960s & 70s Cokeworth England. Not to mention his less than ideal socio-political positions in, not just one, but two new worlds.

    Struggling to gain enough power and knowledge to save Lily, Briar fights to reach his only life goal.

    If only other people would stop distracting him. . .

    Summary

    Objectively speaking, there are worse people to be reincarnated as. Ultimately unimportant side character, socially acceptable Quirk, winner of the genetic lottery, only mildly deranged.

    Honestly, ignoring the fact that he looks increasingly like a fuckboy douche, he's handling this like a champ.
