    Summary

    Petunia wasn't the smart one. Or the pretty one. Or the magical one. But she was cunning, resourceful, and she knew what she wanted from life... and she got it.

    So when her nephew turns up on her doorstep one cold November morning, she sees it as the opportunity that it is.

    ---

    This was an odd little earworm of a plot bunny that wouldn't leave me alone. I'm much more inclined to shorter works, so it's a bit of a patchwork story.

    Note on the tags. Petunia is... Petunia. She is not really 'Nice' or 'Good' but she's not 'Mean' or 'Evil' either. She's a selfish, self-centered woman with a brittle sense of self-esteem and a drive to be recognized as successful in her own right. I tagged it 'Good' because that was the closest I could get to 'not the horrible person from the book, but not really even close to a Molly'.

    Also: I will not be tagging every single person who appears in the fic, only those with reoccurring roles. This is not a bashing fic and I've done as best as possible to give rational(ish) 'good intentions' explanations for the canon shenanigans.

    Summary

    Dudley woke up with his past life memory back in his sixth birthday. A past life memory set in the future apparently?

    Realising he had been a bully the whole time, he tried to change himself.

    Or:
    A Self-Insert Dudley Dursley doing his best to survive. And become a good person.

    And he didn't have a single idea what the Book Series Harry Potter is. No canon knowledge nor the knowledge of his world being a fiction. Great.

    Summary

    Maura has some plumbing work to get done, and no, that's not a euphemism. She picks the wrong week(s) to sleep on Jane's couch, again, not a euphemism. Will Jane get insulation or will Maura die of insomnia? And no, that's also not...

    Summary

    Some people know pride well. This pride would be the thing to give them closure when met with disappointment, and stop them from doing something eager and desperate.

    Emily, apparently, is not one of those people, standing outside Andy’s apartment.

    Or: What if Emily doesn’t leave Andrea in the past after an unanswered phone call?
