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.

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: 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
Summary: Theodore Nott has fallen in love with Harry Potter and decided to court him with the most solemn and violent of pureblood traditions. The biggest surprise is that Harry Potter has fallen in love back and fully accepted the courtship. And everyone around them has to deal with it.
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: 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.

Author’s Notes: This is one of my “Songs of the Stormy Season” short fics being posted between Halloween and the winter solstice. It’s the sequel to “Creatures of Worth,” so reading that first would be helpful to understand this story. It will have three parts.

Title: Truth Is Wilder
Disclaimer: J. K. Rowling and associates own these characters. I am writing this story for fun and not profit.
Pairing: Mostly gen, background mention of James/Lily
Content Notes: AU (Harry is not the Boy-Who-Lived), mentions of violence, Harry gets away from the Dursleys, present tense, humor, trauma, implied child abuse, angst, minor character death
Rating: PG-13
Wordcount: This part 4500
Summary: Harry has always known he was a Squib child left with his aunt and uncle, and that his parents are still alive, and that he won’t receive a Hogwarts letter. What only he seems to know was that he has magic; it’s just wild and does what it wants and refuses to show up for most people who have tried to investigate it. Harry leaves the Dursleys’ house at eleven to go find a way to tame his magic, while his twin, David Potter, the Boy-Who-Lived, starts his first year at Hogwarts.
Author’s Notes: This is one of my “From Samhain to the Solstice” fics being posted between Halloween and the winter solstice. It should have several chapters. Please note that it alternates between humor and seriousness, and Harry has an odd perspective, so the tone may be odd as well. This came from thinking about what ‘wild magic” means and deciding to do a different take on it.

Author’s Notes: This is one of my “From Samhain to the Solstice” chaptered fics being posted between Halloween and the winter solstice. It’s for DustAshShadows, who asked for Lucius and James being friends in childhood and promising to name each other their sons’ godfathers.

Title: The Mirror and the Candle
Disclaimer: J. K. Rowling and associates own these characters. I am writing this story for fun and not profit.
Pairing: Harry/Harry
Content Notes: AU starting in fifth year, dimension travel, angst, violence, self-cest, underage
Rating: R
Wordcount: This part 4600

Author’s Notes: This is one of my “From Litha to Lammas” chaptered fics being posted between the summer solstice and the first of August. It’s the sequel to “Twisted Mirror” and “Shards of the Mirror,” which you should read first, and will probably have three to four parts. The title comes from the quote “There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it” by Edith Wharton.
