Summary
Remedium n (genitive remediī or remedī) Latin: a cure, remedy
Harry Potter, an empath in his intern year of residency at St Mungo's, is battling his own struggles when he meets distinguished Healer: Special Consultant Tom Riddle. He is taken under Riddle’s wing as they research the cure for a novel disease, but as they push the boundaries of healing, they must also learn to tread the boundaries between each other.He wore different coloured robes than other Healers—deep plum, the colour of a darkening bruise—and high-collared, silver buttons fastened to the neckline. His skin was alabaster, smooth and unyielding like marble. Once Harry met Riddle’s eyes, the shock at finding the man staring right back at him promptly sucked all the air out of the room. Riddle peered at him in appraisal, his gaze sweeping from the mess of black curls on his head to the balls of his trainers beneath the hem of his robes. Feeling like an exposed nerve under his perusal, Harry did his best to stand still for the entirety of it. Riddle’s gaze was transient and clinical, but it felt ceaseless in its duration, and despite himself, Harry felt a flush rise from the column of his throat to fan along his cheeks.

Summary
Magical Britain is collapsing from the ground up. As an ancient, creeping darkness infects the leylines, Voldemort is clawing his way back into the world through an entirely new, catastrophic avenue.
Ancient wards are shattering. Ministry perimeters are failing. The ancestral sanctuaries of the past have become inescapable tombs. To survive, a new world must be built off the grid.
Spanning from their fourth year at Hogwarts well into adulthood, this is the story of the architects. Hermione, Severus, and Draco design an impenetrable, mathematically perfect network of subterranean bunkers and highland fortresses. Harry, Daphne, and Pansy weaponize their wealth and magic to forge a sprawling, million-acre political empire.
But the hardest part of building unplotted fortresses in the dark is pretending everything is perfectly fine in the light.
An expansive, multi-volume AU focusing on extreme architectural world-building, pureblood politics, and slow-burn, highly structured relationships.

Summary
Harry Potter was never meant to survive - let alone disappear.
When he returns to the wizarding world years after being presumed dead, everyone expects a saviour. Instead, they find a boy with bright Killing curse eyes, an innate understanding of Dark Magic and runes, and teeth far too sharp for comfort.
But power always recognises power, and Harry finds himself being pulled - inevitably, irresistibly - toward the two men who wield it best.Or, "You think you're clever, don't you?" Severus said, though without the bite he usually reserved for such remarks.
Harry tilted his head, a wry smirk on his blood red lips. “I think I’m clever enough... Say hi to your husband for me." -

"I- I- Lily, listen to me. Listen to me, please-"
"There's nothing more we can do."
"He will kill you!"
"Then he'll kill me, Severus!"
"Please. Please, convince James to break the oath. If he knows- if he knows, maybe he'll change his mind."
"Break the oath? Break the oath? You're smart enough to know, Sevie-"
"I don't want you to die!"
- The Pensieve memory of Lily Evans and Severus Snape, September 29th, 1981.Harry Potter was born a freak. He always knew that. The addled orphan of drug addicted parents, dropped off at his respectable relatives’ house, only for them to go on and die in a car crash. It was alright. One day he was going to be a zookeeper, probably. Or just something that worked with snakes.

Summary
AU. Harry isn’t the Boy-Who-Lived, just a lonely orphan who goes to Hogwarts interested in learning Potions and making friends. But his Potions professor hates him, and Harry can make few friends when he has to conceal his snake familiar and his Parseltongue—and that he seems capable of bringing small animal constructs to life. Blaise Zabini is one of the few people invited into Harry’s secrets, a relationship that grows to be more and more important to both of them as the years pass.
