Summary
Harry Dresden, Wizard for Hire, woke up with an immense bit of deja vu, some changes, and some insight into the future. Time travel is technically against the sixth law of magic, but a sense of what has happened, will happen, and what can be changed isn't so bad, is it? It wasn't like Harry Dresden would have many regrets in the future to try and fix, right? Of course, there was also the strange feelings in his body...

Summary
John has noticed a change in Dresden since Victor Sells was stopped. He seems colder to those he calls his allies. And strangely less prone to setting things immediately on fire that annoy him. John doesn't know what brought about this change but he was suspicious of it.
Another death. A new life. It seemed his latest idea to stop the cycle had failed. Fuck whatever deity decided this was his punishment. Hells Bells he was so tired and done. His magic ran from his control and it was only getting worse. If he couldn't find a way to control it soon he might be the nuclear bomb equivalent to his city.
Why couldn't he die and stay dead for once? What had he done to deserve this hell?

Summary
Since 2010, I've been jotting down all kinds of concepts. Some grew legs and ran for a few days, others to an actual chapter, and a few more into completed competition entries. Finally offering these to the light of day again.
Most are set in the Potterverse and the many alternate universes branching off. Some are pure Dresden Files. Plenty are crossovers. I hope you enjoy even one of these :)

Summary
Now we were standing there, shield to shield. I knew - well, I hoped that we both knew very well that this was nothing. Like two wolves snarling at each other, a demonstration of power, without any real intent to harm.
“I have no desire to tear your home apart by playing this game,” he said, breathing a little harder than it would be normal.
“And I have no desire to blow your pompous head off either,” okay - that wasn’t exactly true.Stephen accidentally ended up in Harry’s universe — where he, of course, shouldn’t even exist.
How can he handle a world where magic is brutally practical and down-to-earth?
And how can our two stubborn wiseasses try to help each other — while dealing with the fact they can’t always be in control?This is my first-ever fanfic (and of course, I had to start with a 40k+ word story), so the beginning might be a little clumsy, but if you like the idea, give it a try.
The story is set after Battle Ground.
*Spoiler alert* if you haven’t read it!
About Stephen: Marvel comics’s story line is a mess, and I have problems with the movies too, so I might interpret him more freely. He exists after his two movies, but he’s the Sorcerer Supreme, of course. -

Summary
Death should have been it. The End. Game Over. Instead, I was given a choice, quite a few choices actually... DxD was not the worst place to build a new life, a quiet life. I could just let the main cast deal with the world-ending troubles like they did in canon... wait, what do you mean crossover?! What do you mean the War in Heaven will restart?!
Follow this new story in the world of High School DxD, where power alone is never enough. Between the politics of devil society, the dangers of fallen angels, the schemes of the church, and the secrets buried in other worlds, Zyras must carve out his place in a universe teetering on chaos, with the shadow of God's return looming ever closer.

Summary
After the crazy Halloween and being forced into the Wardens, Harry realizes that the White Council protect Chicago. Chicago would have burned before they realized there was an issue. Those within the Supernatural Community didn't trust them and he decides that something had to be changed. So he gathers the Community at Mac's to decide how to protect Chicago without the Council. They needed someone who could do the political side of things as well as command the authority to keep beings in check. There weren't many who fit both criteria. One big one was a man who continually tried to put himself into the line of fire; despite the fact he was a vanilla mortal. John Marcone. If they chose him, he would need a Protector as he was still a mortal. Harry has to make a choice on whether or not he could put aside his feelings for the man for the good of his city. A bond like what would be created for a Protector bond would destroy the ties that bound him to the Council and to the Winter Queen. Little does he know he has already been bound to Marcone for nearly a decade.

AUTHOR NOTE:
My first fic, now titled, "Of Danger and Dog Hairs" originally had this title, so if you're looking for that, head on over to that work. I wanted to re-work the concept, and feel better about this story in general.

Summary
During the Battle for Chicago, Harry Dresden is killed. His only regret was that he was leaving behind the one person who managed to get past his defenses. John Marcone had givme him all the reasons needed to survive. Dying meant he would be leaving him alone.
Harry did not expect to wake up. Much less wake up around a decade in the past to Morgan giving him CPR. Having to navigate the past with the wrench of soulmates, what kind of ridiculousness was this, makes his life difficult. Especially when the one person he'd come to trust breaks into his office just as Harry remembered him doing.
Everything in him wants to leave Chicago and just hide from everything. He fought all of this once. Why did he have to do it all again? He was tired and hurting. The thought of falling back into step at John's side is more comforting than anything else. It might make things better this time. Maybe he can stop people from dying. Maybe they can change everything.
For those he lost once and he would do his best not to lose again.
