Summary
“Go.” She said, not quite yelling but suddenly intense as she herded Harry back, away from the pillar and towards the tracks. “Go now, boy, or you’ll miss your train!”
He looked behind his shoulder, there was a train....he hadn’t heard it approach. The doors were open and waiting, and for no good reason at all, he stepped inside. The strange little woman didn’t follow him on, she simply stood there watching him. that same incomprehensible smile on her face.
“Which path will you choose?” She asked again, just before the doors closed, replacing his view of her with his own, pale reflection.
===================
Sirius was gone, and Harry's world was crumbling through his fingers. All he wanted was a little peace, just a moment to himself.
Maybe it was a wish come true.
Maybe it was just the machinations of a strange little witch and her enchanted locket.
When Harry found himself, now fifty years in the past, on his birthday he doesn't question it too much.
He just take the opportunities set before him.

Summary
Death was surprised by how quickly his new Master, Harry Potter, was to accept both his status and the cat form they inhabited. Yet, as Death spent time lazing in sun patches with their new Master, they realized that the missing shard of Lord Voldemort's horcrux did more damage than when it was sitting in his soul.
So when Lord Voldemort's baby comes traveling through time, knocking Harry far enough to rescue and adopt a young Tom Riddle before the coldness could seep into his heart, it was of little consequence when Harry was told he needed to become a woman in order to enact his great plans to save himself.
Join Harriette Juniper Potter as she recovers from PTSD of the war that left her scarred and betrayed, saving her past, her present, her future, and securing a marriage contract with Lord Voldemort to keep the peace.

Genderswap casefic loosely based on the AC Doyle story "A Case of Identity".

Summary
Darcy is thirty feet out of Stark-cum-Avengers Tower when she starts craving cinnamon rolls--the sticky-sweet iced-up old-fashioned kind, yummy and messy and dripping gooshy icing all over your mouth and hands and down your yuuuup, yup, that is a super, super fertile omega that she is smelling, holy shit is it ever.
“Jesus Christ,” she groans in frustration, then follows her alpha instincts (and, more easily and importantly, her nose) to go track them down. They’re in the middle of New York City; middle of the day or not, not checking on somebody who smells like that is, like, the ultimate dick move.

“Laura wants to lure the kid in with food and kindness and make a pet of him, like a feral cat. Derek wants to have him arrested for stalking. They’re at an impasse. (And the rest of the family is staying emphatically out of it in a way that suggests bets have been placed.)”

Summary
The Beau Morgue is a nightclub with a rich and tragic history, its dozens of deaths memorialized by a wall of old photos, a certain air of morbid delight about the place, and, every autumn, the Anniversary of the Fire. Curse Night. But this year—as a new voice is raised over the sound of the swing band—a man ends up murdered, and all hell breaks loose.
