Summary
"The Hollow Hearth remembers you. Come home."
Harry awoke with a gasp, his heart hammering, and the weight of the dream still pressing against his chest. He sat up slowly, nose prickling from the frosty scent of the magic.
His fingers were filthy with soil, the dirt packed under his fingernails.
When Harry becomes Lord Potter he discovers a legacy he never knew he had. Harry is balancing being called home, understanding what magic really means, the politics of the Wizengamot and figuring out his relationships.
A story about old magic, rituals, politics, and having to make hard choices.

Summary
One year after Voldemort killed Lily and James Potter, Severus Snape pays a visit to Number 4 Privet Drive. He has a duty to Lily Evans, the best friend he ever had, and therefore to her son and her sister. He finds himself assuming the role of the child's uncle. As it happens, the friendship between Severus Snape and Petunia Dursley changes both of them, both of their lives, Hogwarts, and their world's future for the better. (It's so much easier to be a good person when you're not clinically depressed, afraid for your family, or stuck in your past trauma).
This is a lengthy story meandering through Harry's childhood, with eventual plans to see it through his Hogwarts years and a very different resolution to canon. But in the meantime, the goal is cuteness and exploring a world with better-adjusted adults in it.

Summary
When Severus Snape dies in the Shrieking Shack, he expects it to be the end.
Instead, he wakes in Godric’s Hollow on the night Lily Potter dies—years younger, with full memory of everything that followed. This time, he doesn’t step back. This time, he takes the child.
With Harry Potter in his care, Snape sets out to change a future he knows too well—one shaped by war, manipulation, and a boy raised to die. But protecting Harry means stepping outside both the Dark Lord’s reach and Dumbledore’s design, and into alliances Snape has never trusted.

Summary
When Lily Potter first heard that Voldemort wanted her son dead, she did what she had always done: she made plans to keep him safe. And when those plans fail, she makes plans to get him back.
OR:
Harry Potter dies. His mother goes mad with grief. She hunts down Death and pleads for the return of her son. Not knowing what Death looks like, she mistakes Death's curious Master as Death himself. To her benefit, Harry Potter (who does not reveal his identity, but you'll guess it anyway so I don't feel bad spoiling) is all too happy to help her kidnap Harry Potter from another universe to be raised by Lily and James.
Lighthearted with moodiness (because I can't not include angst in my fics) and occasional emotional moments. I've had the idea turning around in my head for awhile and decided I might as well start writing it. I mean really -- what chaos could a tiny Master of Death cause in a world where he doesn't belong?
**Can be read independently from other parts of the series**

Summary
It begins and ends, much like in another life, for love of a woman.
Voldemort never faced a choice between two prophesied boys, because one of them was born a girl. A girl, he believed, wasn’t much of a threat to a wizard like him.*
*this decision aged poorly, in entirely new ways.
Or: Ivy Potter grew up surrounded by love, with a predilection for chaos instead of heroism, while Neville Longbottom had a raw scar stretched across his forehead gifting him a serpent's tongue. And just like that, a new fate, an old fate, is sealed.
