Summary
"Mark these words, blood of my blood: the House of Black bows to no one, and those who kneel invite fate’s hand upon the line."
Voldemort fell to a baby, the Light claimed victory, and the wizarding world decided that this was enough. The prophecy that once governed everything was fulfilled that night at Godric’s Hollow, and with it, the illusion that fate still had anything left to say.
The Malfoy twins are too young to remember the fighting, yet old enough to see its consequences. Their father bowed to Voldemort and survived, while their mother did not. Narcissa Black Malfoy remained unmarked and within the Black family’s protection, and because she never knelt, she endured.
But the Black family once forgot this truth, and ruin followed. Sirius chose righteousness and was imprisoned. Bellatrix chose devotion and was destroyed. Regulus knelt under compulsion and died from it. Andromeda fled, and in doing so, severed herself from her name and blood.
But this time, there will be no kneeling, for as canon collapses and fate loosens its hold, the Blacks do not bow, and the twins claim the Black mantle to forge a future in which the House of Black leads once more.

Summary
The war ended, but the wound never closed.
In the silence of Longbottom Manor, Neville finds Lily’s journals: the writings of a girl who reached too far and cracked the world open. Harry learns he was never chosen, only caught in the recoil of a broken prophecy.
“Your mother’s bargain tethered you to me,” Death said. “Tom’s theft tethered him to himself.”
And Death, ancient and merciless, watches with delight as Harry mistakes vengeance for salvation like every mortal before him.
After all, whether vengeance or mercy, Death will collect the debt owed. -

Summary
He wanted an heir to end him. He found a son who made him want to stay.
When the immortal Hades Peverell, Shinigami and Companion of Death, begs to die, Death agrees on one condition: only a Peverell may inherit his post.
But Hades has no heirs, until Ryuk, grinning around a bite of forbidden apple, says,“You’ve got Peverell blood. Split it.”
The ritual fractures time and eternity, sending a piece of his soul into Lily Potter’s womb, where it’s born as the boy who lived.
Many years later, weary of forever, Hades walks the mortal world, raising the child who carries a part of him.He plans to teach the boy compassion fierce enough to kill a god.
But fatherhood was never part of the bargain."Love, death, apples—it’s always the same game."

Summary
Lily Evans was meant to die for a prophecy written in someone else’s hand. In one life, she did. In this one, the gods interfere.
Marked by blood and bound to a child of consequence, she awakens old magic, restless and watching. The Room listens. The castle shifts.
Prophecy festers like rot beneath the floorboards. If she fails, the world will fall to the boy fated to save it.
But Lily won’t die quietly this time. She will burn the script, shatter the myth, and if need be—become the monster that stops the end before it begins.AU spanning Years 0–7 + Post-Hogwarts.
Title from “Power and Control” by MARINA. I don’t own HP. English isn’t my first language.
