Disclaimer: J. K. Rowling and associates own these characters. I am writing this story for fun and not profit.
Pairings: Past Voldemort/Lily, otherwise gen
Content Notes: Violence, minor character deaths, AU after fifth year (Harry is Voldemort’s son), present tense, gore, torture, angst, dark Voldemort
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Sequel to “Shattered Pieces of the Human.” Harry returns to Hogwarts to finish up his sixth year. With Snape dead, Dumbledore escaped, and his father making changes in Hogwarts, Harry presses every day closer to the edge of what it means to be Voldemort’s son.
Author’s Notes: This is the fourth story in my Broken Glass Life series, sequel to “Broken Glass Life,” “Dark Prince of the Glass Court,” and “Shattered Pieces of the Human.” I’d recommend reading those first. This will be a WiP, and at the moment, I don’t know how long it will be.

Title: Radical
Pairing: Harry/Theo, otherwise gen
Content Notes: AU (Harry is re-Sorted into Slytherin at the beginning of fifth year), angst, Slytherin Harry, violence, Blood Quill torture, radicalization, open/ambiguous ending
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Ron and Hermione knew Harry was upset about being left out of things during the first part of the summer before fifth year, but they’d never thought he’d be upset enough to request being Sorted into Slytherin, or to start believing that Voldemort is right. Or: A Slytherin Harry story, but as seen from Ron and Hermione’s POV’s.
Author’s Notes: This is part of my “More Theo/Harry in the World Project” and will have at least three parts. This was inspired by thinking about how Ron and Hermione would react to Harry starting to go down a blood purist path, and how they would have lots of reasons to be worried. I love and enjoy Slytherin Harry stories, but was interested in seeing how it would look from the outside.

This story should be eight or nine chapters.

Content Notes: AU (Harry is a Malfoy twin), angst, drama, violence, minor character death, Horcrux hunting

Author’s Notes: This is one of my “From Samhain to the Solstice” chaptered stories being posted between Halloween and the winter solstice. It’s also the final part of my “Like a Malfoy” series, following nine other stories (beginning with “How Like Hatred”) that I would suggest you read first.

Pairing: Harry/Adrian Pucey
Content Notes: AU, angst, Quidditch, romance, references to violence and character death
Rating: : PG-13
Summary: Adrian Pucey is the one person on the Slytherin Quidditch team who seems to want to win fairly instead of cheating. He and Harry form a friendship, and eventually something more, based on the sanctity of Quidditch.
Author’s Notes: This is one of my “Songs of the Stormy Season” one-shots and short chaptered stories being posted between Halloween and the winter solstice. This is based on the request of several people for this pairing, and off a line in canon that Pucey doesn’t cheat.

Rating: : PG-13
Summary: Harry returns to Hogwarts for his fourth year more settled than he was last year when Sirius Black escaped, and even finds a mentor in the new Defense professor. However, his sense of security lasts only until he’s entered in the Tri-Wizard Tournament—the obstacle that might kill him at last.
Author’s Notes: This is one of my “From Samhain to the Solstice” chaptered stories being posted between Halloween and the winter solstice. It’s part of my “Creatures” series, following “Creatures of Worth,” “Creatures of Pride,” and “Creatures of Strength,” which you should read first. This should be five or six chapters.

Add in Dumbledore’s lessons on Voldemort’s history, Harry’s “court,” and his father’s expectations, and Harry is living in shattered pieces.
Author’s Notes: This is one of my “From Samhain to the Solstice” chaptered stories being posted between Halloween and the winter solstice. It’s a sequel to my fic “Broken Glass Life,” so you should read that first. This should be five or six chapters.

Title: An Easy Path Downwards
Disclaimer: J. K. Rowling and associates own these characters. I am writing this story for fun and not profit.
Pairing: Harry/Theo
Content Notes: AU starting with fifth year, seduction to the dark side, corruption to the dark side, underage, angst, mentions of violence and torture, brief self-harm
Rating: : R

Title: Heirs of Jörmungandr
Disclaimer: J. K. Rowling and associates own these characters. I am writing this story for fun and not profit.
Pairing: Harry/Tom Riddle, background James/Lily
Content Notes: AU (no Voldemort), Minister Tom Riddle, angst, violence, Parseltongue, pureblood bigotry, politics
Rating: : R
Summary: AU. After Grindelwald made his way to magical Britain itself during the war and panicked the populace, the purebloods in control of the Ministry managed to both authorize the casting of a spell that makes magical British areas hostile to witches and wizards not born there, and to pass a law that ensured only those possessing the Gift of a pureblood family can inherit money or houses. Decades later, Harry, who wasn’t born with the Potter Gift, is preparing to leave for the Muggle world when Minister Tom Riddle finds him and persuades him to try a risky ritual that will make him a Parselmouth if it succeeds—and change their prejudiced world.
Author’s Notes: This is one of my “From Samhain to the Solstice” chaptered stories being posted between Halloween and the winter solstice. As you can see from the summary, it’s a massive AU, so don’t assume things function as canon. It should have six to seven parts. In Norse mythology, Jörmungandr is another name for the Midgard Serpent, the ouroboros that encircles the world.

Title: Dark Prince of the Glass Court
Pairings: Mentions of Mr. Nott/Mrs. Nott and Voldemort/Lily, otherwise gen
Content Notes: AU after fifth year, angst, drama, references to child abuse and past character deaths, mentions of torture, present tense, Dark Arts
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Theo is surprised to learn that the Dark Lord has a son, and more surprised still to learn that he’s Theo’s classmate, Harry Potter. He never realized how much it would change his own world.
Author’s Notes: This story is part of my “Songs of the Stormy Season” series of short fics being posted between Halloween and the winter solstice. It’s Theo’s perspective on the events before, in, and surrounding my fic “Broken Glass Life,” about Harry being Voldemort’s life, and I recommend you read that one first. This one will have a second part, to be posted in a few days.

Title: Burning His Letters
Pairings: Harry/Rabastan Lestrange, mention of canon pairings
Content Notes: AU after fifth year, reference to character deaths and violence, angst, canonical child abuse, soulmate-identifying marks, open/ambiguous ending
Rating: PG-13
Summary: After confronting his soulmate in the Department of Mysteries, Harry had other things to think about—like Sirius’s death, the prophecy, and the fact that he was once again back at the Dursleys. Rabastan Lestrange writing him letters is just another stupid thing Harry has to deal with, as far as he’s concerned.
Author’s Notes: This story is part of my “Songs of the Stormy Season” series of short fics being posted between Halloween and the winter solstice. It’s the sequel to a short fic I posted some time ago called “The Name on His Arm,” so read that one first.

Title: The Possibility of Evil
Disclaimer: J. K. Rowling and associates own these characters. I am writing this story for fun and not profit.
Pairing: Mentions of James/Lily, otherwise gen
Content Notes: AU (Harry grows up with his parents), violence, angst, horror, gore, murder, minor character death, unhappy ending
Rating: : PG-13
Summary: In a world where Harry lives with his parents, James and Lily, and grew up happy and loved, he begins to sense that something is wrong. He has horrific dreams that predict he will become a violent killer, and someone seems to be watching him at every moment of the day. But even as he acts to protect himself, Harry cannot predict what the final result will be.
Author’s Notes: This is one of my “Songs of the Stormy Season” short stories and one-shots being posted between Halloween and the winter solstice. This is the story specifically for Halloween. The title is taken from a great Shirley Jackson short story, which I do urge you to read, but which doesn’t have any particular connection to this story’s plot.

Title: Basilisk Heart
Disclaimer: J. K. Rowling and associates own these characters. I am writing this story for fun and not profit.
Pairing: Harry/Theo, mentions of canon pairings
Content Notes: AU starting with fourth year, violence, gore, angst, Parseltongue
Rating: : R
Summary: Theo Nott comes to Harry with a rather unusual request—to harvest the basilisk that he killed during his second year and use that to help Theo cure a blood curse. Oh, and to feed Theo the heart so that he can become a Parselmouth. Harry decides this is better than feeling sorry for himself because the school thinks he’s a cheater, and begins the first steps on a journey down a radiant pathway with Theo at his side.
Author’s Notes: This is one of my “From Samhain to the Solstice” chaptered stories being posted between Halloween and the winter solstice. BellaBix gave me a request for Theo helping Harry harvest the basilisk and becoming a Parselmouth when Harry feeds him the heart. This should have four or five parts. Hope you enjoy.

Rating: PG-13

Author’s Notes: This is part of my “From Samhain to the Solstice” series, for a prompt by NewMidnightBlueJay, which is essentially the summary. It will be posted with a scene or a few scenes daily until it finishes with the solstice. The title means a slow tempo in music.

Title: The Dreamers of the Day
Pairings: Harry/Theo, background mentions of canon pairings
Content Notes: AU starting in the summer after first year, dreams, angst, references to violence and character deaths, present tense, underage kissing
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Lost and alone after his first year, with no one sending him owls, Harry begins to have dreams of another boy who obviously recognizes him, but won’t give Harry his name. On beginning his second year, Harry learns that the boy is Theo Nott, but that it would be dangerous to meet in reality. Harry tries to enjoy the friendship that continues in his sleep every night, without bringing his feelings—including his intense crush on Theo—into the daylight hours.
Author’s Notes: This story is part of my “More Harry/Theo in the World Project” series. It will have five parts, the next one to be posted in a week or so. The title comes from a quote by T. H. Lawrence.

Disclaimer: J. K. Rowling and associates own these characters. I am writing this story for fun and not profit.
Pairings: Mentions of canon pairings, otherwise gen
Rating: PG-13
Content Notes: Violence, minor character death, gore, AU (Harry was Sorted into Slytherin at the end of his second year), lords and vassals, torture, Dark magic, angst, present tense
Summary: As Harry grows in power as a lord and enters his sixth year at Hogwarts, many beings are stirred to take notice of him. Some of those beings, like goblins and werewolves, may offer Harry fruitful alliances. Others want to take Harry’s power. And one in particular wants to test him, with power unimaginable on offer if he passes the test—and horrors beyond death if he fails.
Author’s Notes: This is the fourth story in my Choices series, sequel to Other People’s Choices, Wolf’s Choice, and Leopard’s Choice. Read those before this, or this one won’t make sense. Like the others, this should have sixty chapters.

Title: A Cacophony of Love and Violence
Pairings: Harry/Theo
Content Notes: Ignores the epilogue, Hogwarts “eighth year,” violence, drama, angst, outsider POV, courting traditions, gore
Rating: PG-13

Author’s Notes: This story is part of my “More Harry/Theo in the World Project” series of short fics. LawfulEvil gave me a prompt that is basically the summary, although with a few details changed. This will have a second part, to be posted next week.

Title: A Path of Stones and Thorns
Disclaimer: J. K. Rowling and associates own these characters. I am writing this story for fun and not profit.
Pairing: Eventual Harry/Draco/Theo, references to canon pairings
Content Notes: AU (Slytherin Harry), Neville is the Boy-Who-Lived, Potters live, angst, drama, blood prejudice, violence, Dark Harry, bullying, references to child abuse
Rating: R
Summary: AU. Harry Grayson comes to Hogwarts, knowing himself the bastard son of a Muggle woman, his Aunt Petunia’s sister, and an unknown father. When he’s Sorted into Slytherin, the only Muggleborn there, he does what he has to to survive. If that means allying with Slytherins who are willing to overlook his blood for how useful he can be to them, that’s what Harry will do. Honestly, he considers himself lucky to find as much joy as he does along the way.
Author’s Notes: This is a new fic based on a request for the backstory of my one-shot “The Peculiarities of Professor Potter.” You should read that first; it details how Lily and James Potter accidentally magically disowned Harry and left him to grow up in the Muggle world, considering himself a Muggleborn, while the same magic prevented them from telling the truth. This should be fifteen chapters long. The title is a variation of a quote by Kahlil Gabran: “March on, and fear not the thorns, or the sharp stones on life’s path.”
