  • Harry Potter's Last Step

    Mostly canon up to the Battle of Hogwarts. Very AU, not to mention depressing and dark, after that. This is not intended to be a happy short story as it's my effort at tragedy/angst, two genres I hate. Rated M just to be safe, though there is nothing graphic in it.

  • The Dark Lord's Equal, Or How Dumbledore Doomed Britain

    One-shot. AU. On October 31, 1981, at the cost of her own life, Lily Evans defeated Voldemort. Or did she? This AU explores a possible alternative resolution as revealed during an exam of baby Harry in the Hogwart's' infirmary.

  • The Greengrass Boy

Interrogate the most vile dark lord in a century in search of a cure. And maybe claim Harry Potter as her own child with an eye towards eventually ruling wizarding Britain.

  • The Peverell Gambit

    Decades after defeating Voldemort, Harry Potter travels back to 1960 with the help of Hermione Granger to prevent the rise of Voldemort which, coupled with the survival of pure blood dogma after his defeat, proved to be a near extinction level event for Wizarding Britain. H/BL, with references to past (future) H/GW and H/HG. Powerful dark grey Harry, cruel, manipulative Bellatrix.

  • Becoming Draco Malfoy

    Harry Potter is a cynical and depressed Auror after fighting in four wars. He travels back in time to change history, this time focusing on political and financial power. To complete his task, he possesses the body of Draco Malfoy before he receives his Hogwarts letter. The portrait is of Rupert Brooke by Clara Ewald, oil on canvas, 1911, with the National Portrait Gallery.

  • Riddle's Son

    A very dark, very grim, and very AU story. James, Lily and Harry are killed in Godric's Hollow, and Dumbledore is scheming to protect the prophesied child, Neville Longbottom, when Voldemort's and Bellatrix Black's newborn son comes under his control. Harry Potter lives again, in a fashion.
