Summary
Theodore Nott has always lived by plans, not risks. Study hard, keep quiet, stay alive. It repeated like a mantra in his head. But the war is over and the wizarding world has no place for the Nott heir trying to make amends. University becomes his salvation. Four years later, he's on track to graduate when he takes one last chance at a study-abroad program in New Orleans. Now he's in a new city, with a new life, and he's taken a risk for once in his careful existence.
Harry Potter stopped planning years ago. The auror program broke him, the wizarding world demanded too much, and the voices of the dead have always been too loud to ignore. In New Orleans, he found freedom and purpose running Beyond the Black Veil, a small shop where he has remade himself as a medium, helping the living speak with the dead in a city where magic and morality blurs. He had no interest in the world he left behind.
Until Theo walks through his door.
Neither expected their paths to collide. Neither expects that grief might be the bridge between them. And neither expects that sometimes, when life and death are balanced just right, love can be a risk worth taking.
Sometimes your past catches up to you.

Summary
It all started by chance, when Bill noticed the black eye Richie was sporting. Then came the downward spiral of social services, finding out you are adopted and have a long lost twin brother, and leaving the town you grew up in to go live with the family that adopted him.
***
You mean I didn’t just get stuck with the worst parents on the face of the earth by the fate of conception? You mean they actually chose me just to wish they hadn’t all these years later? You mean I now have two families that don’t want me? It makes sense really. I'm just a big trashmouth. I’m a disappointment. Why would anyone want me?
***
The Wheeler's really are polar opposites from the Tozier's. What will it take for Richie to understand he can actually be wanted? How will these boys react to the change in family dynamic? What happens when they both are pining over the same boy? Get ready for a deep dive into the emotions of Richie, Mike, and Will as they navigate these life changes in the last few years of high school. Can they handle it? We'll just have to see.

Summary
The first time Draco visited the Room of Stars, he wasn’t old enough to remember it.
The first time Draco was able to remember the Room of Stars, he wasn’t old enough to understand the secrets it held.
The first time Draco was able to understand the secrets of the Room of Stars, he didn’t quite realize what it meant he would have to do.
The first time Draco realized what he had to do, the Room of Stars was waiting to guide him. But it was no longer just a room. The Room of Stars was the closest thing to Regulus that Draco had. They say never meet your heroes.
But they never warned you not to become them.
OR
Draco realizes that Regulus abandoned the Dark Lord and set out to destroy the horcrux so that he could be mortal again. Only, Regulus died in the process and the locket was never destroyed. With the help of all the research he left behind in his room, Draco sets out to finish what his cousin started, only to realize that this would be a bigger undertaking than either of the two ever thought.
Along the way, Draco has to find a balance between love, morality, and fighting evil. But not everything is black and white... In the end, what is he willing to lose in order to succeed?

Summary
After a reckless prank isolates Sirius Black, he finds an unexpected ally in Hadrian Peverell, a mysterious Slytherin and distant cousin of James Potter. Drawn to Sirius by a deep, unspoken longing, Hadrian had already begun forming a tentative friendship before the prank and now steps in to offer support during Sirius's darkest times.
As they navigate inter-house prejudices and personal redemption, their bond deepens, revealing Hadrian's hidden connections and the power of unlikely friendships. Together, they must face the looming darkness, proving that sometimes it takes a Slytherin—and a family connection—to remind a Gryffindor of their true strength.

Summary
Remus stared across the room and didn't recognize the kid sitting at his kitchen table. His curls flat and his eyes sunken in, skin pale and clammy. That was not his boy.

Summary
Harry Potter is exhausted, haunted by the media, and somehow more socially anxious than ever. The war never came, but he’s still stuck in the middle of everything—The Chosen One, The Liar, The Symbol. He’s tired of being looked at. Tired of being looked through.
When eighth year begins, he flees to the Room of Requirement to escape it all. It’s quiet there. Safe. Until it isn’t—until Draco Malfoy shows up. They agree to ignore each other, which goes about as well as you’d expect.
Includes: magical shenanigans, a snake named Thistle, thestral babies, inappropriate uses of Parseltongue, cozy chaos, smutty smut and angsty angst, and two idiots falling in love.
