The true time-turner was slammed savagely into Hermione's throat. It shattered against her neck, bits of glass and gold piercing into her skin. The last thing she saw before blackness consumed her was a plume of metallic dust and vitreous fragments, like tiny prisms dancing behind her eyelids... Everything was wrong. 1950 was never her intention.
Voldemort, the God of the Underworld and Lord of Darkness, most feared of all the Gods by the mortals of the world...was lonely. God AU, Greek mythology inspired. Hades!Voldemort, Persephone!Harry. Dark, explicit, and horrifically romantic.
'To be an alpha or an omega is to be ruled by your magical tendencies. They are governed by uncontrollable instinct rather than logic. Being a beta may not be nearly so romantic, but it is a life of freedom. You should all hope to be so lucky.' Years later, and Harry Potter, burning with an unnatural heat that was as unlikely as he was, couldn't have agreed with Snape's words more.
There was no glory in this... The Dark Lord divines what Harry Potter is in the Forbidden Forest, and revelations lead to incomprehensible consequences. Lord Voldemort has won... and the dystopia is damning. A tale of a fallen hero, taboo desires, and a Dark Lord's obsession with something he has lost and finds himself unwillingly lusting after: a soul.
He caught him in the freefall, but the descent never ended.
...It was anything but. OoTP AU, Eventual HP/SS.
But you... you. Your gleaming, hazel eyes were all for me, shining behind off-kilter glasses and you smiled with your canines exposed and you looked so smug. You ran your hand through your hair in that stupid way and you had the audacity to wink at me. (James/Lily, oneshot)
Bartemius Crouch Jr. was a fascinating case... Canon compliant until GoF.
No one was surprised when Tom Riddle, star student, was chosen for Hogwarts champion. Nor was anyone surprised when Albus Dumbledore, prodigy of Beauxbatons, and Gellert Grindelwald, notorious magician of Durmstrang, were selected... Everyone, however, was stunned when Harry Potter - fourth year trouble maker and Quidditch star - had his name come forth from the flames as well.
The walls kept changing, the staircases kept moving... Harry was racing against the slowly falling, emerald spheres within a silver hourglass. The castle in the distance seemed so far, but nothing ever was quite what it appeared to be here in this fantasy, in the labyrinth of the Dark Lord's creation - Harry learned that very quickly.
Luna Lovegood had always been an exceptionally talented dreamer. So talented, in fact, that she sometimes stumbled upon the dreams of troubled souls who yearned for help in their nightmares... But Fate is fickle, and certainly doesn't see a distinction between 'good' and 'evil' when deciding which souls qualify as 'troubled'.
Draco goes looking for ghosts. Companion Piece/Sequel to Hauntingly.
When Voldemort possessed Harry's body at the Ministry, he never thought he would experience the misfortune of being unable to leave.
Alive. Hidden. Concealed in the metaphorical closet, and the ominous, creaking footsteps outside belong to a monster... He's sniffing the air in anticipation. He's craving more than the scent. Intoxicated by his own bloodlust, and a fleeting moment of weakness is all he needs. "Harry Potter...I will have you..." HP/LV/TR. In the most unhealthy, twisted way. Sequel to 'Mine'.
Harry makes a deal with a demon... Apocalyptic AU: Zombies, Demons, and powerful Lords rule the fractured world. HP/TR
"Love..." He spat the word, as if it speaking it caused him physical pain. "Love is fleeting, temporary. A mere firing of synapses and hormones that may feel powerful in the beginning, but always, inevitably fades. Weak. What we share is eternal. We are soul mates, Harry Potter, in every sense of the word. And you belong to me." HP/LV/GW triangle. More LV/HP. Things...get dark.
A determined Romilda Vane leads to a successfully-and quite unwillingly-drugged, drunken Harry Potter at Slughorn's infamous Christmas Party. He makes his escape, only to end up in another equally awkward predicament... but really, what is Malfoy doing in the Room of Requirement, anyway? Oneshot. No slash. Just a hot mess of drunken, bumbling fun.
The first time Vernon strikes a 7 year old Harry Potter, the boy manages to magic himself away from home. The entire wizarding world is in disarray at the disappearance of the Boy-Who-Lived. When the news reaches Sirius Black in his cell, it's all the incentive he needs to escape from Azkaban and find his Godson...before someone else does. Powerful!Gray!Harry, Mentor!Sirius
'...I am more than mere memories. There is a world within me, a fraction of a soul, a mind, a heart...all connected intimately with yours. There is no turning back now, Ginevra...' A story in which Ginny has the diary during GOF events. TR/GW, eventual Dark(ish)!Ginny. M for later chapters.
He opened his mouth to speak, but he was cut off by an icy statement that caused the hairs on his entire body to stand erect. "I know what you are, Harry Potter... Death will never touch you." SLASH, HP/LV. Darkly disturbing and all sorts of twisted- a story of abduction, possession, and manic obsession.
