My heart is a fist of barbed wire by dwellingondreams

Summary
"Now I have three heads: one for speech, one for sex, and one for second guessing." - Analicia Sotelo. 'South Texas Persephone'.
Her door clicks open and nearly clips her in the face. It could be a sudden draft, but Amy is doubtful. Her fist clenches shut around the marble. It is pretty. She could look at it for hours, the way it catches the light. It’s almost like a sweet. Want curls up in her chest like a cat. She thinks she’ll keep it. A gift from the big grey orphanage, just to her.
“That’s mine,” comes a thin, cold voice, and she sees the boy across the hall for the first time. His room is directly across from hers. He is pretty, she thinks, like a drawing from a book. The lines of his face are smooth and pale. His hair is dark and neatly parted. He holds himself very rigidly, like a miniature soldier or a wind-up toy. “That’s mine,” he repeats, sharply.
(In which Tom Riddle is not the only strange child to come out of Wool's.)

Summary
Albus Dumbledore's letter inviting Tom Riddle to interview for the Defense position after his travels abroad made it clear he had no chance of getting hired. Instead of subjecting himself to a doomed and humiliating job interview, Tom Riddle invited himself to the Slug Club’s Beltane Soiree of ‘67. He had unfinished business with Horace Slughorn. Unbeknownst to him, so did Seventh Year Lily Evans.

Summary
The storm of war has finally passed, and the Dark Lord is gone. For Petunia and her chosen family, surviving the war was hard enough – but peacetime has presented new challenges to them all: The Evans sisters have a business to get off the ground. Regulus and Alastor have to find a way to balance their love life and their work life. Severus has to find his way as a new professor with students not much younger than himself. And the remaining Marauders must come to terms with their actions and the betrayal that almost destroyed them all.
As the adults try to navigate the ups and downs of their post-war lives, the children of the war spend their days blissfully unaware. All Harry, Ethan, and Neville want to do is play and explore together – but there are many important things for them to learn about themselves and the magical world around them before they head off to Hogwarts someday.
Set in the immediate aftermath of the First Wizarding War as established in Flowers by the Wayside and carrying through till September 1991 when the Boy Who Lived, his cousin who shouldn’t exist, and The Boy Who Almost Was will take their first steps towards destiny, to one day pick up the fight that their parents began.

Summary
After her husband is unfaithful and her cookie-cutter perfect world is turned on its head, Petunia Evans Dursley finds herself in her old hometown, full of regrets and feeling that her life has been without purpose. Before she can quietly take her own life, she is given an impossible offer by a long-dead figure from the magical world: return to the past, and rewrite her own history. Seeing it as a chance to make up for her biggest regret, Petunia accepts and finds herself in the middle of a Wizarding war she knew little about, protecting the younger sister she tried to forget by seeking help from the one person in the magical world she knows how to find.
A what-if story beginning in the latter years of the first war against Voldemort, where an unlikely alliance turns into an even more unlikely romance, and the bonds that bloom from it will change the course of Wizarding history.

Lavender Brown, Severus Snape, and the Fangs of Fate by yearofthesnape
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling

Summary
When Lavender Brown sees someone in trouble, her first instinct is to go help, even if that someone is as unpleasant as a Blast-Ended Skrewt. So in fifth year, when Lavender has a prophetic dream in which Professor Snape is bitten by a giant snake, she immediately starts planning to save him.
Along the way, Lavender learns to enjoy Potions and even, slowly, starts to appreciate the teacher she's trying to save. Their newfound mentorship, however, makes the bewilderment Lavender feels all the more painful when Snape kills Dumbledore at the end of sixth year. What does it mean to have faith and kindness, when there seems to be so little to go around?
The future has teeth Lavender can’t predict, and all her bids for security go nowhere. But that doesn’t mean there can’t be other, better surprises in store.

Summary
This is the story of a Petunia Dursley who saw Harry Potter sleeping on her stoop and said 'How can this benefit me?'
And it's the story of Harold Evans Dursley who grew up knowing there was power in being polite and that sometimes getting people to do what you want was easier than you'd think. Also, having Dudley sit on the kids trying to punch you works like a charm.
And it's the story of Dudley Dursley who is determined to squash bullies, be polite, and do the best he can at--well, everything. He's going to learn languages and battle maths and end up working at Grunnings with his brother. And everything will be totally brill.
This is a story of book clubs and bridge, parseltongue shenanigans and owl-backed child mafias, of all the things that happen while they're not at Hogwarts-- and all the stuff that does.
It's a story about Harold the Normal. He's here to learn magic and go home... because the rest of his life is waiting for him.

Summary
Sometimes people take actions or do things because they are unaware of the possible consequences. Sometimes they do because of those possible consequences. Sometimes even despite the possible consequences. But all of the time if they don't want to run forever they have to cope with those consequences.
This is one possible continuation of the three chapter sketch of a beginning I wrote a while back. I started it for NaNoWriMo last year and came suprisingly far.
