Summary
There's a balance to tragedy and eucatastrophe. Even Marred, Arda was made with goodwill and divine grace - there is love and mercy and forgiveness even for those that would not accept it, even for those who don't yet realize they need it.
So sometimes you get the second chance you didn't ask for.

Summary
In the first instalment of Beyond the Blood Wards, readers are drawn into a world teetering on the edge of chaos, where shadows of the past threaten to consume the fragile peace of the present. At the heart of this tale stands Harry Potter, no longer just the Boy Who Lived, but a powerful young wizard forged by hardship, loss, and relentless determination. Beside him is Severus Snape, a man haunted by regret and redemption, who risks everything for a boy who is so much more than he thought.
This journey is not just a war against dark forces—it is a deeply personal fight for love, forgiveness, and the fragile hope of a better future. As they face betrayal, impossible choices, and moments of fleeting joy, each character must confront their own fears, regrets, and desires.
BtBW is a tale of sorrow and heartbreak, but also one of enduring love, unyielding friendship, and the strength found in shared purpose. It is about sacrifice and the quiet bravery it takes to keep fighting even when the odds are stacked against you.
Pt 3 of Beyond the Blood Wards is essentially porn. All sexual scenes will be placed in there with indicators of when in the story you should read. Note I have made no NSFW scenes for pt 1.

Summary
"I don't think you understand," Merlin said as he started walking backwards, brows wrinkled in confusion. "I can rip your throat out with my teeth and drink your blood. Does that not bother you?" He asked. Arthur finally glanced up from the papers in his hand to look at him, pausing his steps altogether. Merlin waited.
"...Merlin, you fell over trying to put boots on." He said. Merlin grimaced, looking down at his feet.
"I hadn't realized you were supposed to wear them all the time." He muttered, uncertain what this had to do with the fact he could murder everyone within a ten mile radius. Arthur sighed. "And those are bold words from someone who can't dress himself!" He added indignantly. Another sigh. Humans did that a lot as it turned out.
"Merlin, that's your job."
"And I've taught you several times. It isn't that hard."
"No, I - " Arthur started and closed his eyes. "I don't have time for this."
Or
After living with demons for sixteen years, Merlin decides to explore his human side by venturing to Camelot. Also, he has a destiny to unite his species and bring magic back into Camelot, but he's not too worried about that.

In which Manwë gets a headache, the elves of Valinor are terrified, Elrond is the bravest (and most exasperated) elf ever to exist and (almost) everything is Fëanors fault.
Well, the house of Fëanor did never cope well with boredom.

Summary
Eöl was the original dark elf and so Maeglin can't recover in the Halls of Mandos, Aredhel can't leave the Halls without her son, and Turgon suffers of a broken family for three bloody ages. Tired of waiting for his beloved sister, Turgon has rallied the Finwëans and Fëanorians against Námo in a war of petition attrition. Námo seems to be throwing up his hands, so maybe let the elves handle their own... except Maeglin doesn't want any of it.

Summary
The Fëanorians, returned at last, move to Formenos and turn the ruined fortress into a city of crafts and creation, a place of second chances and a home for those who do not know where they belong. Their family grows over the centuries, and Míriel's last work is in time completed.

Summary
AU. After Grindelwald made his way to magical Britain itself during the war and panicked the populace, the purebloods in control of the Ministry managed to both authorize the casting of a spell that makes magical British areas hostile to witches and wizards not born there, and to pass a law that ensured only those possessing the Gift of a pureblood family can inherit money or houses. Decades later, Harry, who wasn’t born with the Potter Gift, is preparing to leave for the Muggle world when Minister Tom Riddle finds him and persuades him to try a risky ritual that will make him a Parselmouth if it succeeds—and change their prejudiced world.

It's been said 'never get between an angry mother and her babies.' Unfortunately, Harry can't say he's really experienced that, due to the situations of his life. What if someone stepped up - someone with spikes in her tail and able to breathe fire?

Summary
Albus Dumbledore plans. That's what he does. He makes plans for everything. His backup plans have backup plans. There is not only a plan B, but also plans C-Z. So when he was looking down the barrel at an early demise and knew for a fact that he wouldn't be there to check, verify, and activate back up plans as needed, he put more back up plans into place. Most he passed off to his Apprentice Over-Planner Severus Snape, but what if Severus died too soon, or was incapacitated, or truly did lose hope and rejoined Voldemort in truth? Surely he should have backup plans for that too?
Or
Dumbledore makes one backup plan too many, Fate is a bitch, Harry is irreverent and deeply chaotic by nature, and Death likes him that way.
Or
Death is a Slytherin who sees absolutely no reason why they can't screw Fate over and pay their debts at the same time. What's a little cheating anyway?

Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling

Summary
Another take on WHAT-IF Harry got rid of Voldemort in fifth year? Oh yeah and WHAT-IF he just so happened to fall in love with certain twins? In disguise. Under a wrong name, that is. Shenanigans ahead.
Also a take on self-discovery and gender fluidity.(Or the one in which Harry gives the headmaster the finger and decides to go exploring the Wizarding World on his own.)

Summary
"What do you mean Poppy doesn't know she's Potter! Why didn't you bloody well tell her?" James snarled at his former headmaster. He couldn't believe that no one had explained it to her in five years at Hogwarts. Lily spoke up from his side, "What...what happened to her while we were gone? How did she get those scars?" She whispered.

Summary
Harry and Draco are perfectly fine, separately minding their business in 2004, when the Unspeakables conscript them into service... in the First War against Voldemort.
Come for mutual pining and forced proximity in a 1980 hotel room, stay for young Sirius and philosophising about immortality and wormholes. And an eighties cowboy soap opera.
