Summary
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, tiny prisms dancing behind her eyelids.
(In which Hermione accidentally ends up in 1950, pitted against an ascending Dark Lord in his prime, caught in the entanglement of pureblood politics, dark magic, and Tom Riddle's interest)

Summary
Albus Dumbledore watched two visionaries start as driven, powerful, brilliant young men, and become monsters. He has no heir, no protege of equal power to step in should another one rise, and he is old. So when he hears of a Chosen One with power the Dark Lord knows not, he thinks maybe he doesn't want this boy prophesied to defeat Lord Voldemort to grow up in the Wizarding world. He thinks of the bonds of family, and the opportunity he has to shape his world's politics, and of a corrupt magical elite who've signed on with two Dark Lords over hatred of Muggles. He thinks Harry Potter should grow up loved by his family, and Voldemort be destroyed so there is no need for Harry to ever realize his power, and he acts to make both of those things happen. Because he's Dumbledore and what he wants, he gets.
Usually.
When you dabble with improvised ritual magic, you should be aware there might be unforeseen consequences. For example: souls touch.

Summary
He thought about the way Harry looked at him, smiled at him; about the way Draco’s head was nearly always full of him, all day every day, and about the way Draco sometimes deliberately went to bed still smelling of him, refusing to acknowledge what it meant – because he already fucking knew what it meant. What all of it meant.
And then Draco decided, fuck it, he was going to risk it. They were going to risk it together, Harry and Draco.
Smuffy little piece written for the universal darling's birthday celebrations!

A post-canon look that combines humor, adorable children, a murder investigation, and confronting your past into a hilarious, heartwarming look to the future. Harry would be quite proud to be Ginny Weasley's kept man <3

Summary
“How am I here?” Regulus asked breathlessly, “I shouldn’t-”
“Kreacher.” Sirius said, “He found me and took me to you.”
Regulus's eyebrows furrowed, “That’s impossible.”
Sirius shrugged, and crossed his arms over his chest with a scowl, “It’s what happened.”
“I told him he wasn’t to tell any family-” Regulus started when realisation dawned on both their faces,
“I’m no longer a part of the noble and most ancient house of Black, Reg,” Sirius said, he had an odd expression on his face like he was surprised Regulus could have forgotten.
Kreacher finds a loophole that saves Regulus's life— and now everyone has to deal with the consequences.

Summary
Unsatisfied with his post-war life, Harry decides to get to the root of all of his problems when that root was still working at Borgin and Burkes shop in the late 40s. He’s the Master of Death, damn it, he can do what he wants for once in his life.
Tom Riddle isn’t particularly happy about working at a small, dingy shop for magical artifacts, no matter how interesting those artifacts are. He’s even less happy when an insufferable stranger sets up the most obnoxious flower shop right across the street.
What follows would be a romantic comedy, if it weren’t for politics.
