    Summary

    Holly Pandora Potter is more morally flexible than the Harry James Potter who exists in other stories. When thinking about Lockhart and his 'Memory Charm', after surviving the events down in the Chamber of Secrets, Holly considers the possibilities.

     

    ‘It isn’t even the best way you could use a spell like that.’ The twelve year old Holly thought to herself. ‘I mean, if you were evil you could commit any number of crimes in front of witnesses and just remove their memories. Even if you’re not particularly bad it would have to be useful, especially against bad people. Ha! I’d love to make the Dursleys forget about me. Forget about magic too, for that matter.’

     

    Things to know:
    - Pottermore states that Memory Charms are in the second year Standard Book of Spells, this is not so in this story (or really any story I write)
    - There will be some ponderings on morality
    - Fem Harry is because I love those stories and want to write one, not because of some greater reason or commentary
    - Not a fan of JK's politics or beliefs, but this world remains stuck in my head

    Harry has been forced to cut into himself by writing with his own blood, carving into his own flesh, into his own magic, and into his own soul

    Summary

    Gabrielle Delacour was saved from the Black Lake by none other than Britain's notorious Harry Potter. Rather than put the boy on a pedestal, the precocious French witch becomes his pen pal, his friend, and then more.

    The initial idea was to have the least creepy Gabrielle/Harry story I could, without wildly changing ages or anything. I've read a few fun romance stories with the pairing, but often Gabrielle is aged up or veela shenanigans are story elements.

    At first I thought I could keep it tight to canon, but the truth is that as soon as Harry starts talking to, and trusting, people outside his friend group and Dumbledore, things deviate. Not to the extent of my other stories though.

    All content is letters between Harry and Gabrielle. Communications mentioned but not shown between these two and other characters are left to the reader's imagination. Some letters between the two are skipped as well, usually for narrative purposes.

    'Correspondants' is French for Pen Pals (according to the internet).

    Summary

    Something other worldly, or perhaps magical, is happening in London and someone got the bright idea to have Harry Potter check it out. On seeing a few worrying signs about Peter Parker, Harry decides to have a conversation with the young 'hero'.

    Even the word 'hero' brings a bit of a frown to Harry’s face when he thinks it.

    Summary

    Harry's first primary teacher reported the Dursleys for abuse, so Harry was adopted by a loving couple that were engaged in researching esoteric science. Rather than ignore the accidental magic that Harry had done, Rebecca and Edward Sharp helped their new son control and hone his abilities. By the time Harry's Godfather and Uncle Remus tracked Harry down he was already quite skilled in certain uses of magic, even if he called it 'Fizz'. He was also best friends and brother to Matilda Honey, a girl who could also move things with her mind, but not in the same way he could.

    As such, it is time for a poignant goodbye between Harry and his Family on September 1st, 1991. He has new people to meet, things to learn, and he's been contracted as an agent by his parents' boss to find out how dangerous the magical world might be for humanity as a whole.

     

    This won't be a canon rehash, but there will be some familiar encounters because it wouldn't be as fun otherwise. No House of Potter or Lordship games, even if the Blacks still have a large amount of influence. Dating will happen in the future, but the kids are 11, give them a minute.

    Oh, Harry is eleven and therefore can be rather silly at times.

    Summary

    Harry Potter wakes up on their 10th birthday with the memories of a much older version of themselves. Decades removed from childhood abuse and the war, those memories of a person with extensive therapy and a positive self image influence everything that Harry chooses to do now.

    Like assuming the identity of Lily James and getting the hell out of Britain.

    A one-shot that could be more if there is enough interest, but I'm not starting another WIP at the moment.

    And if the Trans inclusion didn't communicate my disdain for JK's politics, I'll say it clearly: I do not agree with JK's politics.

    Summary

    A crack pairing that I am fond of, so when I wanted to try writing a 5+1 Luna and Hulk were the ones I chose.

     

    Luna stumbled upon Hulk out on the edge of nowhere and treats the angry rage beast as only she can, with smiles and conversation. Over the years we can see the pair develop an ever changing relationship as Hulk matures.

     

    I hadn't intended to change much about the MCU plot when I started, but adding Luna Lovegood to any plot causes unexpected developments.

    Yes, the relationship tags are rather spoilery, but I'm not going to apologize for that. What I will apologize about it how hetero this one is, my other works are much less so.

    Summary

    Somebody got hit by truck-kun, savvy to HP and various fandoms. Rather than replacing one of the trio, they woke up as Ginny Weasley.

    Join Gin Weasley as they try to pull their family out of financial issues and forge a new path.

    ***

    A tired young voice, sounding male and a little hoarse, spoke behind me. “Ginny, you’ve got to go, get out of here… Ginny?”

    I’d sat up and moved with such swiftness that perhaps caused the boy’s words to drift off. Then my hands were on his face, pushing his hair up to take in the scar, my gaze moved down to meet his famously green eyes that hadn’t been in the movies. Harry freakin’ Potter, and a glance around what must be the Chamber of Secrets showed an enormous dead snake and a pool of ink around a punctured book.

    My eyes went back to Harry and saw my small delicate hands still touching his face, grimy though they were, the hands of an eleven year old Ginny Weasley.

    “Well fuck me.” I muttered, barely noticing Harry’s shock at my language

    Summary

    Harry Potter's first teacher did their job.

    Now Harry is on the road to having a family and friends while coming to terms with being different from most of those around him.

    --------

    I recently heard that this can be considered a 'Harry was raised different' story
    This work is intended to cover up until August 31st, 1991.
    The next work in the series (Harry Potter, Paranormal Agent) will cover Harry's time at school.

    I'm aiming for a bunch of snapshots into events around Harry's life and where this premise diverges from what we are used to seeing. Hopefully I can avoid verbatim retellings of what we have all read before.

    Posting schedule is whatever my brain dictates

    Summary

    Wednesday Addams transmigrates into Harry Potter on the way to his 2nd year at Hogwarts

    Skwiziks, Chpt 22
    When I first saw the summary I was kind of skeptical of the premise... Then the premise is actually executed deliberately? The consequences aren't hand waved? The dialog is clever and even funny? It's not overburdened by covering every single event? The characters still feel pretty authentic?
    One ticket for this

    What it is:
    - Wednesday Addams' mind merges with 12 year old Harry Potter's memories and she calls out a bunch of strange things in HP canon
    - Fluff and Slice of Life mixed with plot
    - Complex and flawed characters
    What it isn't:
    - Canon rehash
    - Bashing

    Want a single story? Read to 83 and stop.

    5 Alt-AU endings
    Epilogue 1: 79-83 is the main ending
    Epilogue 2: 84 is a dark ending, Wednesday is very Addams (there are warnings)
    Epilogue 3: 85-93 Wednesday and the Triwizard Tournament
    Epilogue 4: 94-100 is multiversal crack fic craziness
    Epilogue 5: 101-113 Ilvermorny and magic/science

    Summary

    The start of Wednesday & Enid's semester back from break included establishing a Pack of various individuals, falling in love, and addressing Enid's family situation while developing a relationship with the Addams family.
    These one shots will contain vignettes from that same world which aren't long enough for an entire story arc.
    Warnings will be added in the notes for each One Shot chapter.

    Our first One Shot starts an hour or so after the end of the A Pack of Our Own arc, in which Wednesday and Enid... communicate.

    Summary

    Enid’s head rested back on the bed, inhaling deeply before speaking. “So I wondered if you could help me decide on a pack to run with, for, you know, full moons.”

    “I understood werewolves were contained in the Lupen cages during the full moons?” Wednesday tried to recall the information from conversations last semester regarding that particular group.

    The blond wolf girl sighed, “Yes, but also not really. If you can prove you are in control during your shift, you can join one of the Nevermore packs and run with that pack. Run and hunt in the woods nearby. That’s like totes better than being locked up all night.”

    “Understandable, so what’s the trouble?”
    ---

    Wenclair fluff with pack and hunting vibes. Oh, and Wednesday is worried about exposing Enid to the Addams curse.

    Recently finished an edit pass that caught a bunch of issues, but if you see something, feel free to comment and as long as I'm active on AO3, I'll get to it. 5/23/2026
