Summary
In which I find as many excuses as possible to give Harry Potter a change of address - because I have a tendency to believe in Nurture over Nature, and it's fun to see all the ways I can spin his fate differently than canon.

Summary
Set directly after the events of And the Stars Shine the Same -- Elrond’s two new wards both struggle to feel at home in Rivendell. The wounds from their slavery in King Frumgar’s court are still fresh, and the scars are deep -- and they’re not the only ones. Maglor is home at last, but each day he lives he is haunted by guilt and grief. Elrond is nothing if not patient, and he is certain that given enough time in Rivendell, all three will heal.
Meanwhile, the twins set out to join Legolas and investigate the source of the mysterious Shadow which attacked Rivendell, but are held up in Rhovanion. In Greenwood, something evil festers beneath the trees. Only Lothlorien, protected by Nenya, seems to be safe...but for how long?
Rhovanion stands on the brink of political catastrophe. Sickness spreads through the Misty Mountains, and to make matters worse...something is wrong with the children.
A story about dysfunction and trauma, healing, the breaking of trust and of regaining it, and also the birth of the Kingdom of Rohan, redemption, and hope...if I can pull it off.No graphic depictions, some dark content ahead, mature themes.

Summary
Cassidy Oleander was your average 6th year Ravenclaw at Hogwarts during Harry's schooling. After watching both of her parents die refusing to cave to the will of Death Eaters, she joins the Order of the Phoenix and vows to do all in her power to stop the reign of Voldemort.
One night, while breaking a set of prisoners with valuable information out of Malfoy Manor, she's caught by the enemy. At the last second she chooses to end her own life, rather than let the Order's secrets be tortured out of her. She's made peace with her end and can take joy in knowing that her death will fulfill the mission, will end her part in taking down Voldemort after losing so much. The last thing in the world that she expects is to wake up in a forest of giant trees.
Finding herself in a new world with elves who act high and mighty, yet hold nearly the same level of magic of a squib, she finds herself facing yet another Dark Lord. In this world her magic is terrifyingly powerful and she must decide quickly if she wishes to take this second life as a chance for the childhood that she was robbed of, or if she is willing to fight in another war.

Summary
"I am your daughter and not your servant."
_________________________
Nymíriel had never doubted that her wildness was correct. It was right. It encompassed what she was and who she was, and she was not about to change that, no matter who tried to stand in her way.
Even when her folly caused death and destruction, she would sooner send herself into exile than surrender that part of herself. I will not give up, she told herself over and over again.
But giving up was never necessary in the first place.

Summary
When the mysterious Professor Lewis asks his students what they’d choose to be if they had the chance to live in Middle-earth, Caryn Emmerson thinks she has the perfect answer:
A dragon.
Caryn only likes to play games when she knows she can win — and being a dragon is surely the way to win Middle-earth. To be one of the most powerful creatures in the world, with enough firepower to level a city and enough treasure to live in luxury for the rest of her life! Let the other students pick boring things like hobbits or rangers or other flammable creatures. She can’t lose, right?
Wrong.
Because this isn’t a game, and Caryn Emmerson is about to learn why so few dragons are recorded in Middle-earth’s histories: They have to survive long enough to grow up.
