Rumour of an Alchemist

  • Kissing in Front of the Snorkacks

    In an alternate universe the Sorting Hat said Slytherin in 1971 one more time than in canon, and four and a bit years down the line the Marauders are still trying to cope with the consequences... Not terribly serious one-shot.

  • Reign of the Marauders

    Alternate Universe. One-Shot. Supplemental material to 'Alternate Scene by the Lake 4'. Severus Snape has left Hogwarts, and in the wake of his departure the Marauders and events are getting out of control. Warning! Characters diverging from canon. Minor corrections made, January 2017.

  • Harry Potter and the Universe too Far

    Parody. Some horror. Universe-jumping, time-travelling Harry Potter, in search of an ever faster personal best time to defeat Voldemort, ends up out of his depth... Warning! Rated M. Multiple character deaths. ON HIATUS.

  • Lily's Choice

    What if standing in front of Voldemort and a possible killing curse wasn't just a question about Lily's own life being on the line? Alternate Universe. One-shot.

  • The Girl Next Door

    Tracy Eagle lives next door to the Snape family, and is best-friends with their son, Severus. Then a redhead comes on the scene and he gets a letter from that 'Hogwarts' place... Alternate Universe. Some canon characters will diverge from canon.

  • Unusual ambition

    In an alternate universe eleven year old Severus Snape actually did some proper research on the Hogwarts houses before the start of the school year and made an alarming discovery. One Shot.

  • The Luck Runs Out

    One-shot. Albus Dumbledore's plans for Harry's first year at Hogwarts all go tragically wrong. Alternate universe. Character death.

  • Hermione's Bad Day

    Alternate Universe. (Shadow of Three Bolts.) Hermione Granger's trip to Hogwarts doesn't go according to plan in a universe where Lily Potter survived but Harry isn't going to Hogwarts... One Shot. Minor spelling/grammar corrections, January 2014.

  • Reaping the Whirlwind

    Alternate Universe. Harry Potter pushed Severus Snape too far, and has to pay the price during his hunt for the horcruxes. Set at some point during the period covered by Book 7 of canon, but with very different events. Warning! Character death, TRAGEDY. Author notes extensively revised February, 2013. (10th Feb - hopefully now for the last time, sorry about any alerts triggered)

  • Safer That Way

    Albus Dumbledore is a headmaster, not a politician, so 'of course' he can't be 'evil'... Warning! Parody. He's-not-a-politician-so-he-can't-be-evil! Dumbledore. Alternate Universe. One-shot.

  • Asylum

    It's 1981 and Voldemort has fallen in his attempt to kill Neville Longbottom. Antonin Dolohov takes Severus Snape to a facility he believes holds the key to rebuilding for the future. Alternate Universe. Warning: Horror. Non-canon pairing.

  • Three Wishes

    After Ron rubs a battered old oil-lamp whilst cleaning in the Burrow, 'Doge Fran Gedre' offers Ron Weasley three wishes. One-shot. Near-drabble. Weasley family silliness.

  • Alternate Scene by the Lake 3

    The scene after the 1976 fifth year OWL exam, where in canon Lily and Severus break apart, instead plays out with Lily turning on the Marauders over the way she and they have been treating Severus. Alternate Universe. Probably a one-shot. Minor corrections made and Author Notes revised, March, 2013.

  • Lily Says No

    Lily Potter walks out on James after a row with him about the secret keeper the day before Hallowe'en 1981. One-shot. Alternate universe. Rated M to be on the safe side for implied messy death.

  • Voldemort Triumphant?

    Parody. Voldemort travels back in time to attempt to 'fix what went wrong' and to ensure his final victory. Warning! Evil!Voldemort, prepared to use killing curses, corrupt the innocent, and do other unpleasant things as necessary. Minor spelling correction, November 2014.

  • Alternate Scene by the Lake

    A visitor from the future intrudes upon the scene by the lake after the fifth year defence OWL in 1976. Rated M to be on the safe side for a couple of swear-words. One-shot.
