Summary
In his first year, Theo Nott was confronted with one of the greatest of temptations. A radical shock can often change a person, but not always at once. Years later, as the world changes around him and remaining aloof becomes increasingly difficult to manage, Theo must make a choice between the known, his father and the Dark Side, and the unknown. Gradual AU.

Summary
Scenes from the sixth book, expanded upon into one-shots, because there actually was a time where The Half-Blood Prince was my favourite of the books. [Pause for disbelief.]
This wasn't started with the intention of writing a series. I wrote the first one as more of a project (and under a different title I can't remember; this was in the mid-late 00s) and then reworked it into the fic Diary of a Madman. The second was written because at the time I wanted to explore a bit more, and the third was written to give this the semblance of a trilogy look. If I had the time back, it'd probably just be the first one, but here all three are. I certainly think they're better than other of my teenage works.

Summary
Scenes from the life of Harry Potter, the neglected brother of the boy who lived. The series takes a slice of life approach. An actual story may follow, if I decide to write more within the universe.
At this time, the series takes place in November, 2004. Harry himself is the lone point of view character, which follows him beginning to deal with a past he left behind years earlier and the lingering influences he has never truly moved on from. Interspersed are varying scenes from his childhood and Hogwarts years. With him along the way are such characters as Daphne Greengrass, his fiancée; Remus Lupin, his godfather; Nymphadora Tonks, a relative and Remus's wife; Draco Malfoy, a relative and his eventual brother-in-law; and several others to come.

Summary
So far, this series is one one-shot and one on-going story. I have plans that will include at least these once completed, and hopefully another installment after. Stay tuned.

Summary
This isn't really a series so much as one one-shot and one aborted sequel, but there you are.
Way back in ye olden days of almost everyone in the fandom loving Snape in the wake of Deathly Hallows, teenage Murkatroyd was one of them and wanted to write something that sort of blended canon. Confronting the Past was that goofball's best effort. The sequel, as the first line would suggest, isn't so much a one-shot as the first chapter of a sequel I was not nearly interested enough in continuing. Anyone who wants to use either or both stories as a launching pad for their own is welcome to do so.

Summary
The world still sees John Walker as a villain no matter how many times he tries to do the right thing. After he rescues you during a hostage mission, you see firsthand how much hate he quietly endures, and you decide you’ve had enough. What starts as you defending him from the cruelty of strangers slowly turns into something softer, closer, and impossible to ignore. John may not believe he’s someone worth loving, but you’re determined to show him that he already is someone good.

Summary
“Y’haven’t RSVP’d yet for the party, Pen. What’s up with that?”
She pauses where she was fiddling with her webshooters. “Um, pardon?”
“The party,” he repeats, pointing at her with the screwdriver. “We sent out the memo, like, ages ago.”
“I, j— I didn’t think I was invited.”
Tony swallows down his chips, staring at her. “We sent you an e-mail, Pen. Pretty sure it had your name on it and everything.”
or, Penny goes to SI's anniversary party. She doesn't have a great time, for some unknown (?) reason.

Summary
"Sometimes, Tony feels like there's something missing. A hole where another heart should be. He chalks it up to nostalgia. To grief. He has everything he could ever want within arms reach... A twig cracking in the distance almost puts him on high alert. He dismisses it as a woodland creature of some sort, doing a quick double take as he glances back at the treeline. For a minute there, he could've sworn he saw... no, it's nothing. He brushes it off and shakes his head, carrying Morgan inside to warm up before dinner."
or: After Dr. Strange's spell, Penny keeps an eye on the Starks from the outside, content to look in and pretend.
