Summary
When he’s ten, Orion recognizes Slytherin’s locket in the drawing room, lost amongst other nicknacks and cursed items, knowing better than to touch it.
He stares for a long while, wondering how he could’ve forgotten, before turning on his heel.
He remembers the story. How can he not? But it’s fragmented and jumbled in his head, blurring with what he knows of this life and the details he does recall don’t concern him.
There’s only so much one can remember about a book read a lifetime ago.
Orion has no interest in getting involved.
He’s got a life. A name. A duty to his family.

Summary
"You should be so mad at me."
"Oh, furious," he panted, drawing her body closer to his. Beneath pretty blond lashes, his eyes were bright and twinkling. "Can't you tell?"
Daeron knew he meant to go down in history as another fail son of the Targaryen line—knew he’d die young, knew he’d do the same in life as he did in death: disappointing his father, his family, his name. He knew he’d never know love or passion unless it came out of the bottom of a cup or the skirts of a whore. He’d seen it all in his dreams.
He didn’t see Mariyam Storm and all that she’d be to him, until she shot him with her crossbow.

Summary
Wherein transmigration occurs, but not everybody gets to start out as a baby. ANBU Dog is also, by far, the worst captain ever, and Kagura very much does not recommend working with him because he’s a loony piece of shit.
A gripping tale of ANBU shenanigans, disturbing romances, and excessive gore. Highly self indulgent.

Summary
The boy may not have made it to Hogwarts, but he was still out there. Unspeakable Jameson thought. Better scared and lost than dead.
Judging by the scale and complexity of the chaos left behind, he would somehow manage to survive.
A dead High Fae in a sacred grove. A magically collapsed manor bearing traces of clearly one of the nastier bloodlines. A possible exorcism. And the unmistakable signature of an XXXX water creature's magic, with no body of water in sight.
Blood and death magic, maybe soul tampering, all converging on a patch of land whose natural magic was completely out of whack. And the boy somewhere in the dead center of it all.
Unspeakable Jameson desperately needed a drink.Long before the Department of Mysteries would sift through the ruins of a collapsed manor, the story begins in the quiet dark, somewhat familiar. With the lonely childhood of an orphan boy and his strange magic, carrying the memories of a past life, while a thread of fate is already unraveling. The first of many.
And someday, under the famed enchanted ceiling, the lost child, or someone near enough, would look ahead, wide-eyed and fiercely determined to ignore the plot.
