    Summary

    It should've been simple: Severus loves Lily, Lily loves Severus, and they live happily ever after - but their dreams are shattered when powerful anti-Muggleborn laws are introduced and Lily's promising career in the Ministry is ruined.

    Unwilling to leave the magical world, disgraced brewer Severus struggles to keep them afloat - but when he uses the profits from his illegal potion deals to pay their rent, Lily's terrified that the aurors will swoop and send him to Azkaban.

    Fearful of fending for herself in a hostile society, the pressure of being a second-class citizen pushes Lily towards the only people fighting for her rights: Severus' sworn enemies.

    Severus, haunted by his Muggle upbringing, is determined not to let history repeat, but can the two of them succeed when the magical world is paved with danger - from the rich promises of Lucius Malfoy to the lure of the Death Eaters, and the ever-seductive call of the Dark Arts?

    Summary

    Elizabeth Stewart loved Harry Potter. She'd grown up reading the books, and cherishing that world of fantasy. And she was laying in bed reading when it happened. Her room was dark and her mind was silent.
    When she awoke, she was in the body of a young teenage witch, Aliena Greengrass.

    All she had to do was avoid Tom Riddle and get back to her own world. To find a way back to her family, where no magic existed.

    If only the universe was on her side.

    Summary

    Five years after the war, the Ministry’s idea of rebuilding is control. Under the Population Restoration Mandate, Marya Hale is forced to marry Severus Snape. A man twice her age, emotionally impenetrable and as bitter as the law that binds them.

    She barely remembers him from Hogwarts and now she is trapped in his silent, suffocating home, expected to bear his child, obey the Ministry, and survive a marriage built on coercion and resentment. But Marya is not as compliant as she seems, and the secrets she keeps may be the only protection she has.

    To Severus, she is an intrusion. A Ministry imposed liability that shatters years of carefully isolation. He didn’t ask for her, doesn’t trust her and resents every reminder that his life is no longer his own. She disrupts his routines, invades his space, and the more he tries to contain her, the more control begins to slip through his grasp.

    Bound by law, haunted by the past, and increasingly entangled in one another’s undoing, they are drawn into a slow, volatile descent neither of them can predict.
