    Summary

    Slytherin, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff-- houses have never mattered, not for the Trio. And now there's a war on. What would it look like to build a side of their own for a change?

    And Justin's careful and best friends with all the ghosts and the portraits, and Neville's coming into his own, and Ginny won't even hesitate to punch you in the face if you bad mouth her crew.

    And why exactly does Voldemort care so much about some vague prophecy?

    Or: fifth year means Umbridge, the DA, and learning how to fight a war.

    Summary

    “…That gem.” Blue whispered, eyes wide.

    In another world Steven had shown it in defiance as he confessed and everyone would have just passed a glance at it before wanting to know how he’d killed a Diamond. In another world Blue was distracted by her grief, her desperation for answers clouding her vision.

    In this world Blue Diamond, who had sat in a room filled with bubbled Rose Quartz gems for thousands of years and stared at them until Yellow Diamond arrived to drag her away, noticed something she should have seen before. The gem was too light to be a Rose Quartz. The gem was too clear. It shined too brightly, the light catching it perfectly.

    But she remembered a gem similar, a gem that haunted her memories. She saw it when she cried. She knew that gem.

    “I know this gem.”

    Summary

    After getting caught in an exploding time machine (long story) after a road-trip-turned-treasure-hunt across the United States (even longer story), Harry is blasted back to the past. Twenty years and some change, in fact. Landing in the bygone years of the 1970s, Harry gets the chance of lifetime to meet his parents, to talk to and get to know them and understand the people they were.

    Or rather, the children they were. He seems to have found himself dropped in on them at the end of their second year at Hogwarts.

    Featuring time-travel shenanigans, Harry with an agenda and record levels of Big Brother Energy, and the Marauders (and Lily and co.) as snot-nosed punks that won't stop following Harry around like a bunch of lost ducklings. This isn't a fix-it fic. This is a revolution.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Got a bit crazy, come back when I want time travel madness

    Summary

    The Lone Traveler was created by another author over a decade ago. I asked permission to write stories with the character but the author never responded. He also disappeared from the fanfiction universe. So after two years, I went ahead.

    Originally a tortured soul, he healed himself by helping others and, eventually, was promoted for his good works.

    The occasional story may be added, but I have taken it to the farthest conclusion I can go: The Lone Traveler meeting the figure which, in the author's opinion, inspired the concept of a super-powered Harry Potter.

    It doesn't end with dramatic action. It ends quietly with a concept of hope. After all, hope was the driving force behind the character the entire time.
