Summary
The start of their sixth year at Hogwarts brings many changes for Lily Evans and James Potter. For Lily, she is forced to cope with changing friend dynamics, the aftermath of a traumatic relationship, and the growing tensions at home. She harbors grief and shame, and a burning desire to do something about the war brewing outside. James has had a summer of growing up. Not long after fifth year ended, his best friend showed up on his doorstep, broken and bleeding, and suddenly James was forced to come to terms with the harsh realities of the world outside his cosy life. And how much his three best friends really need him to keep them together.
As the pressure rises, the two start to see each other in a new light. They begin to find solace in one another, sharing sides of themselves they've never shared with anyone, and they fall in love. A love that creates new bonds, and nurtures courage. It's them at the frontlines of the war once they leave the safety of the school. And it's them who end it.

Summary
It's 1975 and Lily Evans lives a double life.
At home, she's the Irish Catholic daughter of a union organizer in a dying industrial town. At Hogwarts, she never puts a toe out of line, never gives her pure-blood classmates a reason to doubt her. Lily has big plans, even if she's not sure what, precisely, those plans entail.
James Potter has never had to be anyone but himself.
Why would he? Wealthy, good-looking, and intelligent, he knows he's lucky, but the war is bringing what's important into sharp relief. His ageing parents have joined the Order of the Phoenix, and James longs to fight alongside them.
When Voldemort's followers murder seven Muggle-borns in broad daylight just before the start of their fifth year, tensions at Hogwarts reach an all-time high. The so-called Dark Lord is recruiting from the student body, and the time has come to act. The trouble is, Hogwarts isn't split between good people and Death Eaters, and old prejudices die hard.
Lily and James have always been enemies - ask anybody. But now that they've found themselves on the same side of an escalating war waged in classrooms and corridors, they're forced to see each other in a different light.

Summary
"My parents have their faces printed on chocolate frog cards and their own chapters in history books. How on earth am I supposed to compete with that? There are things you're supposed to do, and protocols to follow. Neither breaking school rules nor getting drunk is one of them, especially when you're Head Girl - which makes it all the more intriguing. I appreciate the opportunity, so to speak."
Rated M for specific chapters.

Summary
“Your speech was brilliant, last night,” Albus says, after a moment, leaning into her shoulder, “Scorpius’s too. Almost sounded like you wrote them together.”
Rose frowns. “Excuse me, I very much resent-“
“It’s funny, you know?”
“What is?”
“The two of you,” Albus jerks his chin at Rose, smirking slightly, “Always thought you two would - I dunno.”
“Always thought we’d what?” Rose’s heart stutters in her chest, batting against her ribcage like a trapped bird.
Albus studies her like he’s trying to find something in her face. His eyes are astonishing, like they always are, shockingly bright and deep as wells. There’s a crinkle around them now, and Rose feels another tug of longing, of missing something.
“You fought so much I thought you’d go the other way and end up madly in love, or something.”

Summary
“Moony, this—” he gestured with dramatic flair “—is Estelle. Estelle Black. My little sister.”
The world seemed to tilt.
Remus’s voice was hoarse when he finally spoke. “Your… what?”
“My sister!” Sirius said proudly, throwing an arm around her shoulders. “Little menace, isn’t she? Transferring from Beauxbatons this year. Mum and Dad tried to make her stay in France, but she wasn’t having it. Bloody brilliant, really.”
Remus managed to find his voice, though his throat was suddenly dry. “How little are we talking?”
Sirius grinned, oblivious to the tension simmering between them. “Oh, she’s not that little. What, Stellie? Ten months younger than me?”
Remus could feel his stomach drop. Ten months younger than Sirius. Meaning she was seventeen. Meaning she was his year. Meaning the girl he had very nearly—
Merlin.

Summary
The Triwizard Tournament returns to Hogwarts, promising glory to those brave enough to enter.
For James Sirius Potter, this is the perfect opportunity to step out from the overwhelming shadow of the Boy-Who-Lived and forge his own legacy as Hogwarts’ champion. He has his final year mapped out with clinical precision: winning the Quidditch Cup, acing his NEWTs, and securing his place as an Auror—all on his own merit.
For Albus Severus Potter, the Tournament is just another reminder that he's the lesser of the Potter brothers—the family's black sheep. Haunted by the past and driven by a desperate need to prove his worth, he begins a secret journey to master an advanced and complex magic.
Meanwhile, Lily Luna Potter, enamored with the legacy and history of Hogwarts, uncovers a strange and secret society of wizards that dates back to the time of the Founders—and is much closer to home than she ever could have believed.

Summary
[on hiatus, but i'm active around here and on tumblr]
Flora, the muggle half-sister of protective older brother Remus Lupin, finds herself hidden away during the First Wizarding War for fear of werewolf attacks. Her life is lonely and quiet until Regulus Black, a former Deatheater and an insufferable bigot, is also in need of sanctuary.
Or, a story in which Regulus never expected he would fall in love with a muggle.
[enemies to lovers] [regulus black x original muggle character]
This was largely inspired by WizardGod's 'dirty old town.' However, I did have a similar concept prior to reading her work and would more accurately say it motivated me to finally write this. Her fic is brilliant and I highly recommend it if you haven't already read it!

Summary
Isabelle Potter was never meant to be in Slytherin. A Potter among serpents, a girl divided between two worlds, loved by her brother, hated by both houses, too stubborn to kneel, and too proud to run.
Regulus Arcturus Black has always known his fate. He was raised to carry his family's name, to kneel, to bear the Dark Lord's mark, to believe without question, to obey without doubt.
They were never meant to be anything more than enemies.
The Dark Lord is watching,
The tides are rising, and in the end.
No one walks away unscathed.[Marauders Era] [Regulus Black x OC]

Summary
Vulnera sanentur: the cure to Sectumsempra. To heal wounds.
Six students – some of whom can barely stand each other – discover that the institutions meant to protect them were never designed for everyone. Not all of them realize which side they're on yet. Healing doesn't come from structures. It comes from the people who love you and choose you – even if it takes a while to get there. A tale of love, healing, and friendship. Sixth Year AU.
Arianna, Sirius, James, Lily, Remus, and Severus POV.
~~~“And here I thought being in love with the sound of your own voice was a sign of mental deficiency.” Arianna Brighton’s voice rang out with considerably more confidence than she felt, especially when one keeps in mind that her body – especially that insolent part responsible for speech – decided to stage a coup against all forms of reason and merrily carry her right to the fore of this building crowd. In front of her, stood Sirius Black, an easy grin on his obnoxiously handsome face, wand trained at a visibly petrified Slytherin boy. “Or does picking on Fifth Years make you feel all strong and manly, Black?”
Way to start Sixth Year off right, Arianna thought with an inward groan.

Summary
For Regulus Black, Sirius has always been his everything: his brother, his best friend, his home. But where Sirius is chaos, Regulus is forced to be calm. In this life, however, he found someone with whom he doesn't have to be silence, but fire: Milena Rosier.
This is the story of the foundations, of a childhood where the choices seem harmless until they are not, of how a promise to be "always together" shatters, leaving one brother running towards freedom and the other behind, picking up the pieces.
A slow-burn saga of love as rebellion and legacy as a curse.
Follow both sides: the reckless joy of the Marauders and the tangled loyalties of a Slytherin circle.
Or:
Why Sirius chose James, and Regulus was left behind.

Summary
The sun is setting on the age of the Marauders. Before the tragedy at Godric's Hollow, there was a decade of defiance. Before they were the names whispered in history books or the faces on wanted posters, they were innocence. They were laughter in the common room, map-makers in the moonlight, and friends who believed the world could never break them.
But as the First Wizarding War bleeds from the headlines into the hallways of Hogwarts, that innocence becomes a casualty. The Era Of explores the rise of the darkness through the eyes of the students who lived it—not just the four names we know by heart, but the classmates, the rivals, and the silent observers caught in the wake of a revolution.
As loyalties are tested and childhood pacts are traded for blood-debts, this generation must navigate a world where the line between hero and traitor is thinner than a wand’s breadth. It is a reminder that before they were legends or villains, they were just kids trying to survive the dark.
The war has begun. The end is coming. This is how they lived it.

Summary
James Potter is determined to lead the Chudley Cannons to greatness this season, now that he finally has his best friend and (in his opinion) the best Keeper in the league, Atria Bones, on his team again.
Lucky Atria has a lifetime of practice managing her one-sided feelings, because James doesn’t date players, especially not his Keeper.
But when a meddlesome Seer and a charmed mask come into play, James isn’t willing to lose his new lucky charm, and Atria can’t resist a few stolen kisses… as long as he never finds out it’s her under the mask.
This story follows next-gen characters in the HPU: James Potter II (Harry’s son) and Susan Bones’ daughter, Atria (an original character). These two muddle through a hidden identity, lots of Quidditch, and some magic sexting on their rocky path from best friends and teammates to lovers.CONTENT: The vibes in this story are sweet, cheesy, and hella pining. There IS smut, but it’s all consensual and only between the two main characters. There are descriptions of physical injuries (from Bludgers) and burns.

Summary
❛ Do you think, just because I am poor, obscure, and ugly, I am disgusting? Just because I live alone on a mountain in my hut, plain and little, and I am so... so unsightly to you, I am heartless? ❜
