Summary
"You don't understand what you're asking. My world doesn't work the way yours does." Nevertheless, Mal tells her mother no...and suffers the consequences, alongside the captured royalty of Auradon, as the villains rampage and her trusted best friends remain unfettered, feigning loyalty to their parents.
Divided, the Isle-born rotten quartet must rely on old allies to survive, as well as their tenuous relationships with their Auradon-born peers. They don't have much time to uncover their strengths and make their choices, but...
("Our parents made their choice. Now you make yours.")
They have nothing to lose.
::
AU canon divergence from the first film—because segregating evil villains from the rest of society does not logically look like a half-humorous cohort of “has-beens”.

Summary
Upon hearing the prophecy, Lily Potter chooses differently. She brokers a deal with her once-enemy, and instead of an equal, her son is marked as something else entirely. Now raised under Lord Voldemort’s reign, Harry Potter grows up with doctrine in his ears and a leash at his throat, forced into a careful charade of false obedience. He thinks it should be easy to maintain the lie, but a single misstep—a locket found where no one was meant to look, brimming with a life of its own—sets off a violent shift, yanking him into a web that winds, inevitably, back to the Dark Lord.

Summary
It was in the summer of 1935 that he first saw her.
Tom Riddle was eight, and he was the only person in Victoria Park who saw the outlandishly dressed woman, scar on her forehead, and wearing the funniest red dress.

Summary
There was another student here.
Tom recognized him vaguely—while transfer students were not necessarily uncommon due to the war, they were rare enough to at least make an impression. This particular transfer student was in his year, sorted into Ravenclaw after an impressively long hat stall. He looked like he might be descended from the Potter line, but he did not share the surname so his lineage was of no particular interest to Tom. Nothing about him was of particular interest to Tom, in fact, and yet here he stood, holding the book that Tom had come here to find.
It would be a good time to turn away. The Restricted Section was restricted for a reason—only books documenting extremely dangerous or extremely advanced magic were stored here.
Tom’s feet, however, suddenly felt as if they were made of lead. It wasn’t magic keeping him tied down, but something far more mysterious like curiosity or even fate. In any case, the delay was all it took for the Ravenclaw to lift his chin and meet Tom’s eyes.
This Ravenclaw, Tom realized, had eyes as blindingly green as the Killing Curse.

Summary
Instead of dying during the Battle of Hogwarts, Voldemort de-ages into an infant. Until he becomes old enough to be legally executed, he will be magically bound to Harry.
A perfectly foolproof plan, or so the Ministry believes.
“Someday,” Tom vows, “you’ll love me in every way.”
