    Summary

    Severus died that night at the hands of the Dark Lord, the man he "worked" for and was "loyal", at least that's what the Lord believed him to be, an impeccable servant.  Even so, he ended up dying for his master's snake.  He knew it would happen, he was sure his time was coming, just like the manipulative old goat's plan.

    He died, but not as badly as he thought it would.  The green eyes of his sweet childhood friend, his sister, shone into those of her son.  That put him at ease.

    However, he had many regrets, he wanted to be a better person, less sour, less broken and unstable.  He wanted to be able to see his best friend, be better for him, for her, as well as for himself.

    Who would have thought that his wish would be heard and, as soon as he opened his eyes once more, he would be back in his childhood self?  Severus had one more opportunity and he wasn't going to waste it, he would do his best to live his life well and to the fullest.

    However, what would he do when he found out that he wasn't the only one who had the memories of his past life?  How would his life turn out?  Better or worse?

    Summary

    “I expect an heir by year’s end. Concubine, whore, one of the Gods themselves, I don’t care who bears it. There will be an heir.”
    Seokjin swallowed against the lump in his throat. “Yes, your highness.” He bared his neck in fealty but it only earned him another growl before the King stormed from the antechamber, slamming the door so hard the hinges groaned in protest.
    Seokjin breathed a sigh of relief to have only been given an ultimatum instead of a death sentence. He may have been his father only alpha son and heir but that meant precisely nothing to King Daehyun. There were plenty of bastards running around the palace who would gladly take Seokjin’s place.
    If only they knew, Seokjin rubbed his face in his hands. They were safer out of the King’s orbit.

    OR

    Seokjin is a prince trying to stay alive long enough to take the throne from his father. Min Yoongi is chosen as the omega to bear the prince's heir and is caught up in a world that is full of enemies and danger.

    Summary

    Severus is barely hanging on. He has no friends, honour or reputation left, and the only ones that will associate with him are death eater wannabes.

    When he comes home for summer after his fifth year at Hogwarts, he finds that his mother is dead and his father is missing. To top it all of, some two-hundred-year old contract between the Princes and the Blacks states that Severus has to marry Sirius Black before his 19th birthday.

    He just cannot get a break, can he?

    Summary

    Harry isn’t sure what Dumbledore wants him to learn from their lessons, but he’s sure it’s not what he’s ended up focusing in on. Regardless, he can’t get the idea out of his mind if its the best chance of living he’s got. If it was as un-feasible as it was absurd, he’d move past it. But, it’s not. It’s entirely possible.

    The only problem would be convincing the dark lord to impregnate him, but Harry doesn’t plan on asking.
