Summary
She played softly, fingers gliding over the ancient keys of the piano the Room had conjured — her mother’s salon, reborn in flickering candlelight. Notes drifted through the air like smoke, curling around the dark figure in the armchair behind her.
Tom Riddle sat with one leg crossed, firewhisky in one hand, a lit cigar in the other. He watched her through the haze, silent, as if trying to memorize every gesture, every sound. The flames caught in the glass and in her hair, and for a moment, he looked less like a boy destined for infamy and more like someone who had almost forgotten how alone he was.
“You don’t play for them,” he said quietly.
Hermione didn’t look up. “No.”
“But you play for me.”
A pause. Then: “Always.”
----
A war is lost when an opportunity is presented to her. Aberforth offers Hermione a chance to go back to the beginning to undo everything that has come to pass. Can Hermione Dumbledore alter the fate of one young man, can she turn the tide to a better future? Or is she fighting a losing battle, one where she looses herself in it?

Summary
She's what's left when a prophecy devours innocence and leaves something sharper behind.
Witch. Weapon. Mistress of Death.
She doesn't save the world-she hunts the ones who break it.James Buchanan Barnes. The Winter Soldier.
A name buried beneath programming and pain. His heart remembers what his mind cannot: a red-haired child he spared in a rain-soaked London alley in 1986. She should have died. Instead, he let her live-a decision he wasn't designed to make.A woman who fights for a man who cannot fight for himself, and of a weapon who dares to chase the light.
Through resets and bloodshed, through the scream of the chair, one truth remains:
Harriett Potter is his witch. His salvation.
And he is hers-always, in every life, in every war, no matter how many times they fall.Good thing Harriett has accepted her fate as Death's chosen. Because now, she's not alone.
Move over, Director Fury-there's a new team on the field.
The Hellhounds don't play by the rules.
This isn't redemption. It's retribution.
And for those who prey on the innocent, there will be no mercy.
Only blood.
He who hesitates... disintegrates.Series

Summary
Tom Riddle x OC
When Lilia Potter is killed by Voldemort in the Department of Mysteries, she knows she failed. Living in the shadow of her twin brother, Harry Potter, her greatest wish was to step out from his legacy and be remembered for her own achievements. But all of that shatters the day of her death.Until she wakes up- more than fifty years in the past.
It should be a cruel joke, but it’s real. Voldemort is alive, yet not as the Dark Lord she knows. Here, he is simply Tom Riddle- a clever boy whose charm and enigma draw her in against her better judgment.
Tom Riddle and Voldemort are not the same, she tells herself, even as her heart begins to wrestle with forbidden feelings for him. But her growing connection with Tom may come at a cost, especially when another shadow looms over the timeline: Grindelwald.
When Grindelwald discovers pieces of her mysterious past, everything becomes far more dangerous. Lilia’s second chance at life might be her most perilous yet.
Aka: a story where she finally learns what it means to be someone’s first choice.Series

Summary
Inspired by Blood in the Water by JustAShark. Technically a rewrite of it.
Title from Blood // Water by grandson.
An AU, where Grindelwald a year after Secrets of Dumbledore- in order to keep a certain powerful and very dangerous Muggle group not unlike his own happy- sells Theseus out as a British spy. After a period of torture, an unexpected magical incident frees Theseus, but the Auror finds himself a man out of time (and an assumed casualty of the war against Grindelwald) and has to deal with both the third war of his lifetime as well. How will he handle his new time, especially with a new war so close to starting? And how will people in the new time- specifically, Harry Potter and friends- react to this war hero out of time?
Starts in 1933, so mentions Nazis, the Gestapo, SS, and SA, and a certain Austrian painter. -

Summary
Albus Dumbledore had all the stars aligning until the male tribute from District 12 for the 74th Annual Hunger Games caught the attention of his successor, Tom Riddle; but he realised too late. However, he did recognise him. Harry Potter. The son of Lily Evans-Potter and James Potter. Narrowing his eyebrows, drinking his wine with his successor beside him, he wondered what had happened for the teenage boy to end up in District 12 unlike the Capitol where he placed him. Did Sirius Black move him? How did he get to District 12 unnoticed? Was he going to win the 74th Annual Hunger Games?
Either way, he was going to have to control things before they got out of hand, in any way possible.
--------
Note: the rape/non-con is due to the victor prostitution/+blackmail sex as well as the torture inflicted onto one of the main characters. It never goes into detail but, the warning is there.
--------
(Summary: Harry Potter is reaped for the 74th Annual Hunger Games but what Dumbledore doesn't know is that his successor and the male tribute grew up together in the same orphanage in the Capitol. Their love and memories are what gets the plot moving, and is what Dumbledore realises too late due to his mistakes.)Series

Summary
Harry Potter died quietly. Bureaucratically.
So much for going out with a bang.Now it’s 1944. He’s stuck in someone else’s life, his magic’s misaligned, and his mother’s vanished without a trace.
The one who takes her place?
Gellert Grindelwald. Europe’s most wanted, and by some cosmic joke, his father.
He’s not here to play heir. He’s here to keep his head down, bide his time, and absolutely not start another war.
…But then again, where’s the fun in that?

Summary
When Gellert Grindelwald manages to escape from the captivity of the MACUSA, the British Ministry Of Magic's life turns completely upside down. Lyra Alura Black has been working at the Auror Department for years now. And even though she is a fully trained auror, she is still stuck as an assistant slash drafter. Well, that is not a negligible factor either that Lyra works with her ex-boyfriend who is no other than the head of the DMLE himself, Theseus Scamander. Eh, who cares? - Lyra would probably just spat at that fact. But against her will, Lyra is being dragged into the inquest and hunt for Grindelwald and this bumpy road leads not only outside the country but to the past too, where she has to re-live and re-examine all of the relationships in her life. And which decisions led her to this very step.

Summary
In the twilight of the Russian Empire, amid political upheaval and whispers of revolution, a child is born beneath falling snow — a child who will come to be known as Zimovaya, Winter’s Child.
After tragedy leaves her stranded in the frozen wilderness, she survives not by luck but by instinct, guided by the voices of a forgotten past and the teachings of an ancient shaman. Raised in the heart of storms, with wolves as companions and ice as her shield, Zimovaya becomes more than a lost girl. She becomes part of the wilderness itself — a force of cold precision, patience, and quiet resolve.
But the world beyond the treeline stirs once more. The distant call of iron rails and gunfire beckons. Her path, once shaped by nature, will soon collide with politics, power, and destiny. This is the story of a girl who was born twice — once in blood and once in frost — and the legacy she will carve in a world unprepared for her return.
AKA: Esdeath reincarnates and things escalate very quickly.
