Summary
The war is over - or it should be. Harry is a war hero, is a decorated Auror, is a mostly-functioning adult. He attends birthday parties, other people's weddings, Christmases where no one mentions the seats left empty. He lives a step outside his own life, but he’s fine. He is.
Albus Dumbledore is a respected Hogwarts professor, is the most powerful wizard of his generation, is a recluse with a broken heart. His world is collapsing from under his feet as the man he once loved pitches wizard-kind against itself. The war hasn't started yet, but it soon will.
An escaped criminal and an ancient spell bring their lives crashing together.

Summary
“You got mugged?” James asked. “A muggle mugging? Merlin, you had a wand, didn’t you? Should’ve used it.”
“Couldn’t. Obliviate is my weakest spell. Can’t bring myself to do it right, I think.”
Lily finally spoke up. “What’s your name?”
“Remus,” the stranger answered quietly. He had a soft, careful sort of voice. He didn’t turn to face Lily, but he did catch her eye in the rear-view mirror. His eyes were soft too, the color of chocolate.
James laughed. “Yeah. You’re a wizard, alright. Where to, Remus?”
“I’m not sure actually,” Remus said gently. He glanced back at Harry’s carrier, and though he couldn’t see the baby inside it, frowned. “I’m looking for someone, heard he lives in this neighborhood. His name’s Sirius Black.”
------
One too many close calls lead James and Lily to cut ties with the Order of the Phoenix during the First Wizarding War, taking their infant son with them. Several months later, the Potters come across a bloody, disheveled man lying on the side of the road. A man they've never met before.

Summary
Charlie had planted herself in front of Vox and was rambling off an impressive myriad of excuses, from busted pipes to bad Wi-Fi, while he stared at her, hands on his hips, with the utmost expression of forced patience. His black, digital brows were set in a line as straight as the glower at the bottom of his screen. He does a single, slow blink, finger tapping against his hip as he debates on how much money he can reasonably make on a Charlie Morningstar-inspired white-noise machine (and whether the guaranteed customer complaints will be worth the cheap buck) when a movement over her shoulder draws his eyes.
He leans to the side, eyebrow quirking. "What's that?" Then promptly chokes on a surprised noise and shoves Charlie aside. "Holy shit, is that a human?"
Lucifer plays a prank on Alastor.
Everyone else has to deal with the consequences.

Summary
“What. The fuck. Did you do?”
Vox’s eyes snapped open. That was his voice. He hadn’t said anything though, had he?
He jerked his head up against his better judgment, vision swimming. The world around him was all wrong. Whether it was the result of destructive interference or his impact with the brick wall, something was fucking with his color and depth perception. Almost everything was awash in shades of yellow and brown. Meanwhile, his right eye refused to focus.
Something…moved on top of his head as he closed his right eye so he could actually see the figure looming a few feet away.
Blue. So much blue. It was blindingly bright against the otherwise drab colors.
Then it hit him.
He wasn’t staring at Alastor.
He was staring at himself.
“Oh, shit,” he breathed, jolting when Alastor’s feedback filled voice spoke the words.
AKA
Vox and Alastor accidentally swap bodies.
