  1. Summary

    This body was only ever meant to hold one life.

    A mother from 2025 dies and awakens looking through the eyes of Petunia Evans in 1971. She had an entire life, thirty four years of memory from across the sea, half a century in the future. Now, she has the body of a gawky twelve-year old, magic she isn't supposed to have, and a front row seat to the bloody unraveling of the First Wizarding War.

    Her plan is simple: do not interfere, stay in the background, let canon play out the way it's supposed to.

    But foresight is complicated, vision is not armor and watching children march towards a doomed fate gets harder the closer to them Petunia grows.

    The reality is this: with every breath, she shatters the story she memorized. Enter the dangerous consequences of carrying a second soul through a decade of killing curses and blood.

    Summary

    “The Dursleys had everything they wanted, and shared much of their lives freely, but there was one topic that Penelope simply never saw fit to share. She simply could not imagine what anyone would ever want to know about the Potters.

    Mr. Potter was Mr. Dursley’s cousin, though they only spoke on odd occasions and times of great need. He was a serious, tall man with dark hair and an ever present pair of glasses, and he worked for the ministry in some manner of law enforcement. For all that, he was the most boring individual Penelope had ever met, excepting, perhaps, his taciturn wife.”

    Penelope Dursley is a perfectly normal modern woman, thank you very much, who fills her days with yoga, blogging, and home ed for her perfect daughter Amelia. Her life changes quite radically when a letter arrives at her house by owl. She’s a bit put out to find that her husband has been keeping magic secret from her, but once that is cleared up there are far more important subjects to consider.

    Is a secret boarding school really what is best for dear Amelia, and if it is, how does Penny deal with being an empty nester 8 years early?

    Summary

    She lazily averted her gaze from the ceiling, pitch black hair falling like a cascade through the limits of the blue victorian settee, grey eyes as haunting as those of a hound. Looking straight at him. Like she was only waiting for him to turn before she stuck her dainty sharp canines into the soft flesh of his neck.

    When Severus looked at her face, all he saw was trouble.

    or

    Severus is obliged to face Sirius Black again after twelve years.

    I really like this one. Everything is angsty and angry and delicious. So fun. (15)

    Summary

    I must have gone just a little bit too hard last night, because I woke up in the hold of a pirate ship. My mouth tastes like shit, words are crawling across my vision telling me to do things, and I have to join a pirate crew or die. I like to look at the bright side of things: hot girls, magic powers, and a HuD that promises rewards if I play along.
    I could complain, but hey, at least I’m a magic pirate now.

    Makes use of the Skulls and Shackles adventure path for its bones, but like any DM I take massive sweeping liberties. Multiple 3rd party sources used, most prominently spheres of power and Pact Magic

    Summary

    "Now I have three heads: one for speech, one for sex, and one for second guessing." - Analicia Sotelo. 'South Texas Persephone'.

    Her door clicks open and nearly clips her in the face. It could be a sudden draft, but Amy is doubtful. Her fist clenches shut around the marble. It is pretty. She could look at it for hours, the way it catches the light. It’s almost like a sweet. Want curls up in her chest like a cat. She thinks she’ll keep it. A gift from the big grey orphanage, just to her.

    “That’s mine,” comes a thin, cold voice, and she sees the boy across the hall for the first time. His room is directly across from hers. He is pretty, she thinks, like a drawing from a book. The lines of his face are smooth and pale. His hair is dark and neatly parted. He holds himself very rigidly, like a miniature soldier or a wind-up toy. “That’s mine,” he repeats, sharply.

    (In which Tom Riddle is not the only strange child to come out of Wool's.)
