Summary
This is the continuation of my story: The Inner Light - HP Style. The first chapter is a summary of the previous story, so if the tags speak to you, you should be able to read it without too much confusion.
It is an exploration of the aftermath of the war, and how everyone deals with it. The main character is Severus Snape, who survived the war, but there will be chapters about other characters too. I needed some OCs to tell the story I wanted to tell because I didn't want to entirely rewrite canon characters to fit.
I address the changing world, try to find solutions to the most blatant problems the wizarding world has without making it too easy, and fokus on character developement and growth.
Alas, I felt writing a simple slice of life type story was boring as heck, so since I love torturing my characters, there are vicious attacks on Severus Snape, and they have to find out who it is. It turns out, there's more to it than the eye can see, and someone might lead a dark cabal to derail any changes in the wizarding world.

Summary
Snape doesn’t like being frogmarched into teaching Potter Occlumency. He hates that damned brat with his smug face. Is it unfair? Maybe. But he doesn’t care. The boy is the constant reminder of his greatest failure.
So he is full of vitriol when casting the Legilimens. He doesn’t want to see the hundreds of ways this boy is celebrating his status, and with that, the death of his mother. Yet Snape would wish for nothing more than to let the boy see and feel the truth about himself.
Loaded with the power of guilt and self-hatred, twisted by the lies he tells himself, Snape, in an attempt to hurt the boy while doing his unwanted duty, goes too far.
The spell goes wrong and when Snape went to bed that night, he reaps the consequences of his again misguided actions.It’s about time to learn how it really feels to walk in Harry Potter's shoes.
But what then? Who will Snape be, after reliving a lifetime of 15 years as Harry Potter?
This is inspired by the Star Trek episode 'The Inner Light' where Picard lives a whole lifetime in one single moment after being hit with an energy beam. But besides the idea, there are no elements of that episode in this story.

Summary
Agustín finds out that Alma didn't want him to marry Julieta. He gets drunk. Bruno is at the wrong place at the wrong moment, but he couldn't have known that because it's his own bed.
Loosely related to my other fic, but not dependent on it, canon, so can be read as a standalone.Series

Summary
This is the Dursley's time in hiding. Especially the moment the Dursleys finally find out what exactly Harry and his parents were fighting for.
A scene where Hestia and Dedalus get fed up with Petunia's and Vernon's attitude and set them straight about the Statute of Secrecy, some wizards trying to protect muggles and Voldemort being the leader of a group that wants to make Muggle hunting legal. Vernon and Petunia get it rubbed in what a miracle it is that Harry didn't join the dead eaters after how they have treated him.
envythenight wrote an amazing story about Dudley and what he experienced during the attack of the Dementors. But it stopped when the Dursleys went into hiding.
I highly recommend reading Dark is the Sky first, since this is borrowing a lot from that story, but the story is canon, so you can read this on its own too.
I expressed my wish to read how it would go on, and the wonderful envythenight encouraged me to write it myself. So here it is.
This was planned as a one shot, but I couldn't let it go, it didn't feel finished. But now it does, that's definitely it. -

Summary
The older Bruno gets, the less contact he has with family members.
Agustín tries to keep in contact with the seer and give him a chance to socialise, but still Bruno drifts away.This scene is canon compliant and can be read as standalone.
It was originally part of chapter 16 of my main story 'Don't talk to Bruno'. But it made the chapter too long and changed the tone too much.Series

Summary
Why don't we talk about Bruno?
My take on the way Bruno's talent developed and why he became that fearful presence in everyone's head while being such a sweetheart.
How come a quiet, goofy, kind man turned into such a mess and even his family treated him as a menace? Why didn't they protect him?
Well, because no one talked to him. They did talk about Bruno, but not to or with Bruno, even when he was there.
This is an exploration of all the members of the family and the magic itself. The story begins at the day the triplets got their gift and ends when Bruno vanished in the walls. It concentrates on their individual problems and how they think about each other. An explanation why Bruno forgave them so easily and why he couldn't leave them behind. Also, why they don't blame him either when he returns.This is finished.
I deleted lots of fillers from the main plot in the later chapters because they didn't really fit and made the chapters too long and convoluted. But I liked them too much to just give them up.
So I posted them in a Series. Check it out. I'll post a few more.
Lastly: a thank you to all those grammar perfectionists out there who helped me with my spelling. You rock!Series

Summary
Julieta gets angry at Bruno, but he's not at fault. She snaps at him and regrets it later.
A scene that was part of chapter 14 of my main story, but it didn't fit well and made it too long.
It's canon and works on its own, you don't need to read the rest. (Although I'd be happy if you'd do)

Summary
This was a scene in my story: Don't talk to Bruno. It was part of Chapter 10. It didn't really fit but I liked it too much to delete it.
I think that Bruno is still too normal to have grown up totally neglected and without friends, but I had to find a way to remove that friend before the faithful vision that made him leave. So mentioned character death, but no one dies in this story.
Spoiler:
I made Hernando into a real character, who is friends with Bruno. He is old and one of Bruno's most important role models.It should work as a standalone, it becomes clear from the context, who Hernando is, but it's part of my story, so it's head cannon.

Summary
I have several ideas on my mind how Megamind could have turned into a good guy without Tighten.
I really don't like Tighten. Or Hal at that.
I'll be posting them one by one here in different chapters. With little intermediate stories for background info in between.
Each story will start with a short setting so the situation will be clear.No beta. We die like men.
If you have something to add or a prompt feel free to comment. As long as it fits my fancies I might add it.
Chapters might change and be added to if I get new ideas. Just changed the first chapter a little. Someone asked about Bernard and it was just the right puzzle piece missing. So here you go. Hope you'll enjoy.

Summary
About to be rewitten, (mostly just a little edited and corrected). Will be continued.
I really dislike the Avengers Infinity war. What I really despised was the absolutely hectic and unimpressive way some characters met. In my unimportant opinion, one of the main reasons why this film isn't anywhere close to what it could have been is that so many moments we just longed to see were squeezed into one single film instead of being part of some amazing standalones. So I decided to write about how they should have met.
Every chapter is a meeting how it should have been. The first two chapters are with my favourite characters of course.
Edit: Somehow this wants to become a story. Currently under rewrite, might finish this thing after all

Summary
Post season 3 finale. Written before I knew it would go on. How it goes on. What else.
Edit: so the show went on. This is AU now.
This fic is mainly inspired by the scene from 3x24 where Lucifer folds away his wings after they got shot. It sure looked painful. Also I think that Chloe is good at compartmentalization. She will deal with the situation first and the full extend of the revelation later. Also I wrote how Dan and Ella will find out and how Lucifer manages to deal with his injuries.
Dan will also find very creative ways to cope with his loss.
This story is completed in chapter 5 and the tags only apply to this main story. However, since some ideas still ghost around my head I'll post further chapters with one-shots whenever I feel like it. If anything important happens in the extras I'll put up warnings in the comments but so far this story is pure vanilla
You can give me prompts in the comments about what you'd like to read next and as long as it fits the canon of this story and I can be inspired by it I might write it. -

Summary
What can be found beneath the things the Centauri left when Narn had been freed? What if a Centauri had been 'forgotten' in the aftermath of the murder of Cartagia and left on Narn?
Rated M to be on the safe side. This was a very old drabble I once started and never looked at it again. However, as soon as I decided to share it the plot bunnies began breeding.... I just wanted to go through what I had and erase some spelling and grammar errors as they gave birth and I found myself chasing fluffy little plot bunny babies all over the text.... aaaaand right into a second chapter.... then a third .... right now I'm writing the fourth and I'm pretty sure I can wrap it up in a fifth.
Damned little monsters!!Edit: This is now finished.... shush you terrible little bunny! Leave me alone or I'll have bunny-stew!

Summary
Now edited!
Just a little one shot about a young student who searched for fun and found strangeness instead. He should have be more careful whom he trusted. Strangers at the train are definitely not the ones you should trust to be honest when giving tips where to go or all of a sudden you might find yourself in angsty streets followed by... something.This piece is meant to inspire your fantasy to spin the tale further.
If you have any Ideas how this could go on or what this is all about, feel welcome to share in the comments!
