Summary
Mary has memories from her past, or rather future. She has had them as long as she can remember. And she knows damn well that she is in a book-series named Harry Potter. It had been clear when she had made a butterfly appear and a boy in her neighbourhood got letters delivered by owls. She also knew that the war that had really gained momentum in the last year wouldn't end before 1945. She also knew that she didn't want anything to do with the whole plot line. She knew how those self-insert fanfics played out and she wanted no part in it. She would simply avoid the main characters, go into Huffelpuf or Ravenclaw and live her Life. It wouldn't be so hard.

What if it actually wasn't so hard? What happens if a plan works out? Surely you wouldn't be frustrated. You would be ecstatic. Right? -

Summary
we should be kind, we should
take warning, we should forgive each other
instead we are opposite, we
touch as though attacking.
—Margaret Atwood, “They Are Hostile Nations” (1971)Most people who lived in Hawkins, Indiana would say that nothing bad ever happened in their little town. Those people were either full of shit or basking in the bliss of their own ignorance.
For Avery Watanabe, Hawkins had never been anything but a slumbering monster. Teetering on the verge of waking and swallowing her whole.
Almost one year after the mysterious disappearances (and reappearances) of Will Byers and Aggie Watanabe, Hawkins is cast further into shadow.
Season 2 Rewrite Begins in Chapter 26!

Summary
Oxford Languages defines briar as “any of a number of prickly scrambling shrubs, especially the sweetbrier and other wild roses.”
***
Briar Theodore Evans was born the 30th of January, 1960 at 8:32 pm. A whole 6 minutes before Lily Jane Evans, who followed at precisely 8:38 pm. This wasn’t how it was supposed to happen. At least, it’s not how Briar remembered it happening when he read the books. Not that there was much he could remember about Harry Potter’s parents anymore. It had been years and they were such a small part. . .
Or
Briar may’ve come preloaded with the memories of a 23 year old—who once held a close to encyclopedic knowledge of the Harry Potter Series—but that does little to actually help him become powerful enough to fight Voldemort. He’s only capable of so much while stuck with a child’s brain and forced to grow up in 1960s & 70s Cokeworth England. Not to mention his less than ideal socio-political positions in, not just one, but two new worlds.
Struggling to gain enough power and knowledge to save Lily, Briar fights to reach his only life goal.
If only other people would stop distracting him. . .
(Now with a time skip in ch. 11)
