Summary
He turns the paper over. From her. Her scrawling handwriting on the flipped side of the paper. For Sirius Black, it says. He unfolds it. A poem. A whole page torn from a book by the looks of it. There are no other words. Just the printed poem.
Because I could not stop for Death - He kindly stopped for me -
His eyes scan the poem three times, maybe four. He doesn’t really know what half of it means, they’re just words to him. But she thought of it for him, the words meant something to her. Perhaps it’s better if they remain a mystery. He refolds the paper, so that the dedication is upright and facing him. Then, he tucks it into his wallet. For me, he thinks.

In which Violet Evans grows up with muddy knees and hair slick with sweat. She runs and never walks. Magic crackles out of her like a live wire. Haunted by ghosts, she is a sister, a lover, a fighter. A youngest Evans sister perspective on the Marauders Era.

Summary
“Oh, good, it’s stopped, has it?” Hermione has her hands clasped together. “I’ve been thinking about the best way to look for your toad and I think we should start from the very top of the train by the driver and work our way down—“
Eleanor has stopped listening. Her head is fuzzy, as she follows Hermione down the train blindly. Hopping between compartments as they ask older students if they’ve seen a toad. Watching their eyebrows raise or mouths curling between the urge to laugh and distate. She wonders, briefly, if this is what her parents feel in their heads. Fuzzy. Empty. Light. The world happening around you but not knowing what it is that’s happening, or what people are saying. Just wanting to lie down, close your eyes, and go to sleep. Almost like living in a dream. Or on a cloud.
(Retelling of the Second Wizarding War through a Female Neville Longbottom's perspective.)

Summary
Violet Evans lost everything she ever had in one night. She slipped away like a ghost into an abyss. The first Violet was gone, never to be seen again. The second Violet swears and curses like a sailor, she has a nephew who continues to walk headlong into trouble, and who has a 'dead' Dark Lord out for his blood, she has two Marauders, who continually bring out shadows of the first Violet and she has a Hogwarts Headmaster, who just seems to keep revealing life threatening secrets.
She came back from the edge and Violet really has no idea what to make of it all.

Summary
Lucius Malfoy made a terrible, terrible mistake (or an excellent, excellent decision - depending on who you asked) by choosing to give Hermione Granger the Dark Lord's diary. Ginny Weasley would have been so much easier and in retrospect, Lucius Malfoy would change everything.
But then, in retrospect, a lot of people would change a lot of things.
~~
An AU, in which, Lucius Malfoy slips Hermione Granger the diary, instead of Ginny Weasley. Canon Divergence from Chamber of Secrets.

Summary
"Now I have three heads: one for speech, one for sex, and one for second guessing." - Analicia Sotelo. 'South Texas Persephone'.
Her door clicks open and nearly clips her in the face. It could be a sudden draft, but Amy is doubtful. Her fist clenches shut around the marble. It is pretty. She could look at it for hours, the way it catches the light. It’s almost like a sweet. Want curls up in her chest like a cat. She thinks she’ll keep it. A gift from the big grey orphanage, just to her.
“That’s mine,” comes a thin, cold voice, and she sees the boy across the hall for the first time. His room is directly across from hers. He is pretty, she thinks, like a drawing from a book. The lines of his face are smooth and pale. His hair is dark and neatly parted. He holds himself very rigidly, like a miniature soldier or a wind-up toy. “That’s mine,” he repeats, sharply.
(In which Tom Riddle is not the only strange child to come out of Wool's.)

Summary
It took only a few minutes for Violet to figure out what purpose she served.
No one said it out loud—not yet, but they’d get there—but they kept throwing out words like formalizing alliances and uniting two groups, and she understood.
Violet was a sacrificial lamb, and Xaden Riorson was the wolf, and her slaughter would be their marriage.

Summary
Princess Ayla has lived her entire life behind palace walls, protected by protocol and propriety. But when assassins strike at a royal banquet, her beloved guard dies in her arms, and everything changes.
The tournament to choose her new protector draws hundreds of Navarre’s finest warriors. None expect the masked victor to be Xaden Riorson—son of a executed traitor, marked as dangerous, and everything a princess should fear.
He kneels before her with blood on his mouth and shadows at his back. He swears an oath with rebellion in his voice. And when their eyes meet, Ayla realizes the greatest threat isn’t the enemies hunting her.
It’s the way she can’t look away from the most dangerous man in the kingdom.
