    Summary

    Crouch himself cannot stare Harry in the eye, no one can. For in his eyes, you see a man's soul burning with a hatred of all things living and evil. His closet is full of skeletons, many of them with the flesh still attached. - Viktor Reznov

    Summary

    The gods have done something impossible, broken the Olympian Council. It started with a small argument that then turned the entire world, with the mist dropped, into a battlefield. Percy was ready to have his life, to relax as he was ready to go off to college, but that was lost on that day when he was wrenched from his life by his father for his own protection.

    The Olympians have divided the world, creating armies and lifestyles of their own, treating the earth and its people like a game. They battle for supremacy among each other, with the war only being ended when one stands supreme as decreed by the Fates themselves.

    Percy now fights those that he once called friend. Blood sheds from every slash of his sword and no longer is he an innocent boy protecting the world by fighting monsters. But even in a war, he manages to find moments of quiet. But for him it could never be so simple, and the world may change when this one singular warrior works again with the roving band of hunters that make alliances to no one, and the goddess at their head spears his heart with her silver eyes and venomous glare.

    Summary

    After facing the Basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets, Harry Potter realizes something life-changing—he’s in love with Hermione Granger.
    But years of neglect and self-doubt leave him questioning if he’s even worthy of her affection.

    Determined to grow into someone who is, Harry vows to change—to become stronger, wiser, and truly himself. What begins as a personal journey of self-worth soon sets in motion a chain of events that will shake the foundations of wizarding Britain.

    As Harry transforms, so too do his relationships. Friendships deepen. Loyalties shift. And love? Love blooms in the most unexpected ways.
    With Hermione at his side, Harry finds himself drawn to others who challenge, support, and understand him—Fleur Delacour, Daphne Greengrass, Susan Bones, and Nymphadora Tonks.

    This isn’t a harem. It’s something more rare, more honest—a polyamorous bond forged through trust, growth, and shared purpose.

    Can one boy's vow to better himself rewrite the fate of the magical world?

    Summary

    Creating horcruxes is a tricky business.

    So… what happens when it gets screwed up? What if the soul shard was left unprotected or—even worse—attached to another soul? Well, it wouldn’t be good for the horcrux, that’s for sure. And god only knows what it’d do to the other soul…

    Harry Potter grows up in an abusive home while also dealing with a Shadowy Voice in his mind. What does that sort of thing do to a child? Will he ignore his Other Voice and join forces with his long-lost twin brother, the so-called ‘Boy-Who-Lived,’ as heirs apparent to the Light? Or will he succumb to the voice in his head, and begin following the path of Darkness?

    Or maybe he’ll choose something different. Can Harry maintain his fundamental goodness while traveling a journey full of theft, Unforgivables, murder, and mayhem?
