Summary
In an alternate universe where Hogwarts is a university, Hermione Granger arrives overprepared, underestimated, and quietly furious. Sorted into Slytherin, she discovers that the castle is not a school so much as a board, and that the Dark Arts are a language.
As war gathers and Dumbledore urges patience, she begins building a theory of victory that does not ask the young to die well for old men’s plans. The world may need Harry Potter to be its hero. Hermione intends to decide what that hero wins.

Summary
It is said that "History is written by the victors", but what happens when there are no clear winners? The age of true magic has been buried under centuries of neglect and fear, its origins collapsed into legend, and through the passage of time its legends worn down to myth, until nothing remained but the faint echoes of something that was once so much greater.
Hermione Granger grew up sitting at the corner of her father's table on D&D Friday nights, watching heroes and villains come to life, through adventurers delving into dungeons, gods toppling empires, monsters that had terrorized the world since before the dawn of time. When it proved that the idea of a magical world was closer to reality than she originally thought, her repressed thoughts would inadvertently gush out—
“Does that mean you’re a mage?” Hermione asked, with childlike wonder in her eyes.
“Mage?” McGonagall frowned in confusion.Bookmarked by of_a_feather

Summary
The clone wars have begun, and the Jedi are strained to say the least. Ahsoka Tano gets assigned to General Krell for her padawan training. Some on the council hope that his success record will be passed on, while his casualties may decrease with more help. Some think a disciplined Master like Krell will help temper some of Ahsoka’s more…chaotic tendencies while nurturing her clear potential. Ahsoka thinks her faith in the council might be a bit misplaced, because something is wrong with her master, but meeting the clones, the vod’e, might be worth it.
Or
Krell sucks as a Jedi master and Ahsoka finds a family with the clones instead. Things change because of it.

Summary
Daphne laughs again. Perhaps she’s the one going mad, having some sort of momentary lapse of sanity. Perhaps her mother’s portrait has finally broken Daphne’s defenses down and soon she’ll be a long-term resident in the Janus Thickey ward at St. Mungo’s Hospital alongside Pansy Parkinson’s mother. “I have no idea what to say to someone like Hermione Granger. We didn’t have a single interaction in school and you want me to somehow convince the brains of the Golden Trio, the witch who actually defeated the Dark Lord, to return to a country she hasn’t visited in six years?”
Magic is failing all over Britain and three witches will need to overcome their own demons to save the wizarding world. One witch refuses forgiveness for herself. One harbors a dark secret she can't ever allow into the light. And one must return to everything she intentionally left behind. Without them, magic will fail and disappear from Britain forever and it's all Tom Riddle's fault.
Inspired by the Stewardship idea I had in The Unforgiven! I'm aiming for weekly updates on Sundays (fingers crossed).

Summary
"Do you trust me, brother? Or do you fear the unknown of me?"
The glass shattered as soon as it touched the table. Fragments flew across the floor. He looked down in disappointment. He swallowed.
"Sister, I cannot fear what I don't understand." His words still sting, despite the softness in his voice.
His words are like his touch.
Despite how gentle he is, how slowly he sets it down, his fingers are still shaky, hands too rough.
It's inevitable for him to ruin others with it.
OR
Wanda Maximoff is a Goddess.
