A heart with the Nonhuman Unity Pride flag and symbol on it: from top to bottom a green stripe, a white stripe, and a purple stripe with a black theta-delta and septagram combined in the middle. Yellow sparkles overlay it.

    Summary

    One essay gone horribly wrong. One misread phone number. One exasperated Slytherin who has to be perfect. One Gryffindor utterly captivated.

    Or, Harry accidentally receives a scathing essay critique clearly meant for someone else (right?) and now he can’t stop texting Tom Riddle.

    Summary

    Harry tore his eyes away from the man on the catwalk. The merry party of wizards were advancing on him with Moody at the helm, leaving Uncle Vernon to smoulder a few metres away. He was asked if he was ready to go, which he didn't respond to. He simply let Moody's gnarly, root-like hand clamp onto his shoulder and lead him away.

    They followed all the way to Uncle Vernon's Mercedes. Some of them gave Harry hugs while other whispered reassurances that they'd see each other again soon. That the weeks would fly by and that they would come to get him before he knew it. But Harry knew very well that he was doomed. He knew that this would be the last he ever saw of any of them.

    Fewer things are the same now, in this summer of 1996, though a few things will remain the same. This is Part Two of the Dreamweaver series.

    Summary

    This is no fairy tale.

    It is a story of revenge carried out by the forsaken, of unseen horrors lurking in the deep of night.

    A wraith clings to life, refusing to die, dragging itself back from the brink again and again. And a boy is desperately chasing Death, longing to be held in its loving, cold embrace.

     —

    Harry doesn’t care about fate or timelines. He isn’t there to save anyone.

    … He is nobody’s savior.

    No– Harry is there for one reason, and one reason only.

    He was there to kill a man.

    Albus Dumbledore.

    Summary

    In 1993, Gilderoy Lockhart points a stolen wand at Harry Potter and Ron Weasley with the intent to Obliviate them. The wand doesn't backfire. Gilderoy's "discovery" of the Chamber of Secrets is a short-term success.

    Other consequences are not short-term at all.

    Archived Author's Notes:
    I was watching the Chamber of Secrets movie several years back when the scene in question began to play...and immediately I wanted to know what would happen if the wand had done what it was supposed to do. The answer got very complicated, very, *very* quickly.

    Blame Edgar Allan Poe for the title.

    Beta work by Norcumi and Mrs_Stanley. Brit Spellcheck will be performed...soon.

    *I use the first 7 books and the Tales of Beedle the Bard as canon, but there are moments from the films used because they left me with fun things to play with.

    Summary

    apostasy
    noun. the abandonment of a religious belief or political principle

    “I killed your parents,” Tom points out. “There’s a piece of me out there who wants you dead. Will you kill him too?”
    “Isn’t that a bit like suicide? Killing a part of yourself?”
    “Then surely,” Tom stretches out, red-brown eyes meeting Harry's, "Killing you is suicide for me, for you are part of me."

    Less than a ghost, more than a spirit, Harry Potter grows up with the companion of a broken boy.
    Or: the lines between tom riddle and harry potter blur
