    Summary

    What would you do in the villain’s place?

    An adult consciousness wakes in the body of three-year-old Joffrey Baratheon. He's armed with foreknowledge and a lifetime's worth of experience… and it is not enough. He is still Cersei's son, still Robert's "heir," and still sitting on a secret that could kill him and everyone he loves. And the more he builds to protect himself, the more he has to lose. This is a story about governance and grief, about the cost of necessary choices, and about what it means to love people who have the power to destroy you.

    It is also, somewhat accidentally, the tale of how King Joffrey I Baratheon completely revolutionized the Westerosi shipbuilding industry, and with it altered the balance of power across the entire known world.

    Summary

    The order meeting had gone well, and James Potter ran over the details in his head as he cleared cups of half-drunk tea from his dining table. He had gathered a tidy stack of cups to deliver to the kitchen when an enormous crack sounded throughout the room, as if an entire army had apparated into his house.

    Startled, he set down the teacups, and began to urgently move towards the entrance hall, where his wife was seeing off their guests. He had to make sure that Lily was ok, and if Dumbledore or Moody were still hanging around they might be able to offer an explanation for the sound. If it was some kind of mass-apparation, they could very well be under attack.

    He had just reached the doorway when a dark shape materialized from above, and then James was on the floor, staring at a familiar looking, dark-haired boy who had fallen squarely on-top of him.

    Summary

    Rowan Ashcroft died in the 21st century and woke up in 1875 as a nameless orphan in Victorian London. He had no family, no magic, and no future... until a Hogwarts letter changed everything.

    The wizarding world of 1875 is brutal. Muggleborns are Mudbloods. The lowest caste in a society that hasn't changed in centuries. Rowan, an orphan with no magical bloodline, is exactly the kind of person it was built to crush.

    But he has something no one in this world expects from him: a mind sharp enough to see how the whole system works. And how to break it.

    He'll do it through magic no one has tried, duels no one thought he could survive, and secrets buried so deep that finding them puts a target on his back. All of it before Grindelwald rises and the world tears itself apart.

    Summary

    In which the SI awakens in Naruto’s body and, fearing she’s going to die, immediately begins to prepare the best she can to survive.

    Only, it’s not canon Naruto-world. No, it’s an action-romance she’s in.

     

    AKA, the SI is preparing for a gritty dark-action dystopian, while the rest of the cast are under the impression they're in a romantasy.
