    Summary

    When Severus Snape dies in the Shrieking Shack, he expects it to be the end.

    Instead, he wakes in Godric’s Hollow on the night Lily Potter dies—years younger, with full memory of everything that followed. This time, he doesn’t step back. This time, he takes the child.

    With Harry Potter in his care, Snape sets out to change a future he knows too well—one shaped by war, manipulation, and a boy raised to die. But protecting Harry means stepping outside both the Dark Lord’s reach and Dumbledore’s design, and into alliances Snape has never trusted.

    Gringotts is watching. The past is shifting. And the child in his arms carries far more than a lightning-shaped scar.

    Summary

    “Lily,” Hayden says automatically. “You know about Lily?”

    Something flickers across Rozanov’s face. His jaw twitches. “Yes, I know about Lily.” He raises his eyebrows.

    Hayden feels like a complete asshole, all of a sudden. There’s just been too much going on to even think about Shane’s mystery girlfriend. “Shit, I should probably, like, call her, or something? I don’t know this girl at all, but Shane’s been obsessed with her for years. If she was watching the game, she would have seen him get hurt.”

    “You don’t need to call her,” Rozanov says, and when Hayden glances at him, he still looks fucking miserable but now he’s rolling his eyes, a much more familiar expression of disdain on his face. “She’s sitting right here.”
    --
    Hayden Pike and Ilya Rozanov are waiting for Shane to wake up after he took a bad hit on the ice. They get to talking.

    Chapter 2: Ilya and Shane talk about what it means, now that someone knows their secret.

    Summary

    You felt a misplaced sense of ownership over Vaugarde. You’d just gotten here! You couldn’t bear to lose the place. Not when you still hadn’t found…

    Found whatever it was you had come here for.

    You would know it when you saw it, you figured.


    Odile comes to Vaugarde with hopes of self-discovery, and gets in over her head in more ways than one.

    Summary

    It’s suddenly quiet. Odile’s eyes open as though she had just woken up. As though that were just an awful dream.
    She can think of only two explanations. Either she blacked out somehow and ended up back in Dormont, or none of that actually happened.
    But neither of those make sense…

    If anyone were to be trapped like this, Odile is glad that it's her.
    After all, she was never going home, anyway.

    Summary

    “Sounds like astrology for maths majors.”

    “Maths doctorates,” says Q, which is an interesting revelation, if only to imagine him in a classroom with a stick of chalk and a blackboard, tracing some A Beautiful Mind-style formulae for a crowd of perplexed undergrads. Perhaps these days it’s all on screens, though. “Obviously, the idea of prophecy via hidden numerical interpretation is bunk. But there are some extremely interesting ancient applications in the works of Greek philosophers, and even some early Bible scholars.”

    In the darkness Bond closes his eyes, and considers the preferable option: silence, or Q’s esoteric dissertation.

    “Tell me more,” he says.
