Title: Broken Glass Life
Pairings: Gen, other than mentions of Lily/Voldemort and James/Lily
Content Notes: AU (Harry is Voldemort’s son), angst, violence, mentions of torture and minor character deaths, present tense, snippet scenes, mentions of past dub-con, drama, kidnapping
Rating: PG-13
Summary: AU. When Voldemort possesses Harry in the Department of Mysteries, he discovers not only the Horcrux, but the unsettling similarity between their souls and minds. His realization about who Harry really is is passed to Harry as well. A depiction of the months after this, when Harry’s life is in shards.
Author’s Notes: This story is part of my “Songs of Summer” series of short fics being posted between the summer solstice and the first of August. It should have three or four chapters, and is based on a request by EllieOrion for a fic like my older story “Conditionally,” but with Tom Riddle as Harry’s father instead of Snape. Please mind the content notes.

[From Litha to Lammas]: Creatures of Strength, Creatures series, gen, 1/5

Title: Creatures of Strength
Pairings: Mentions of James/Lily, otherwise gen
Content Notes: AU (Harry is a Ravenclaw), angst, violence, past character deaths, selfish Harry, amoral Harry, prejudice and bigotry, dysfunction
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Sequel to “Creatures of Worth” and “Creatures of Pride.” Harry reacts to the news that Sirius Black has escaped from Azkaban by increasing his study of violent magic, so that he can punish his traitorous godfather when he finds him. His life is also disrupted by the return of Remus Lupin, who knew his parents, as the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. But Harry doesn’t intend to let either of these men stop him from protecting himself, or endanger his living situation with Madam Marchbanks.
Author’s Notes: This is the third part of my “These Creatures” series and will make no sense without the others in the series. It’s also part of my “From Litha to Lammas” series of chaptered fics being posted between the summer solstice and the first of August. It should have four to five chapters. This story is darker than the others and contains upsetting topics; please read with caution.
