Summary
Three monumental things happened in 1990:
Firstly, Fleamont and Euphemia Potter put their foot down and forced their son James to marry a witch they approved of.
Secondly, Albus Dumbledore decided to try one last time to hire a Divination Professor.
Thirdly, a witch called Lily Evans developed a counter for the Imperius Curse.
But as far as Harry Evans was concerned, nearly two decades later and half a world away, none of these events had anything to do with his life. He was just trying to get by as an Ilvermorny graduate and single teen father in a dangerous world. He’s got bigger problems than magical civil wars on the other side of the planet.
Albus Dumbledore, however, would disagree. With the resurrection of the Dark Lord Voldemort, all eyes have turned to a prophecy predicting a wizard who would be the Dark Lord’s downfall. The nation’s hopes rested on James Potter’s son Nate, famous for surviving the unsurvivable and killing the Dark Lord as a baby seventeen years previously. But as the only person to have heard the full prophecy, Dumbledore was uncertain. And his search for the real savior keeps drawing him back to a little boy everyone assumed was a squib.

Summary
James Potter thought that his last year at Hogwarts would likely turn out uneventful. And Regulus Black was looking forward to some peace and quiet at Beauxbatons.
Neither of them could have ever expected that the Triwizard Tournament would return after nearly two-hundred years.
Hundreds of students will enter to have a shot at the coveted Triwizard Cup. But only three will be chosen – and only one will take home eternal glory.
As soon as James had heard that the Triwizard Tournament would be returning to Hogwarts, he was sure he’d never wanted anything more than to win it. But James would soon learn, upon meeting a certain contender for the tournament from Beauxbatons, he hadn’t yet known what it meant to truly want something.

Summary
"Regulus knew the story of his birth well, his mother never missing a chance to tell him how he nearly killed both her and himself just by being born. She resented him for it and made it clear. But sometimes, late at night while he lay alone with his thoughts in his room, Regulus began to wonder if maybe he really did die that day, and now he was only a ghost haunting this lonely house. He drifted through the halls of Grimmauld Place silently, spending almost all of his time between the four walls of his room. Unlike Sirius, who got all of his parent’s attention, both good and bad, Regulus could go for lengths of time without being spoken to. He tested it, to see how long he could go before he was remembered, and it was always invariably Sirius who found him and spoke to him.
He learned to fade into the background. When he was silent, his mother didn’t reprimand him with sharp slaps and sharper words. A ghost cannot be hit, cannot be hurt."
Or:
Regulus Black dies the day he is born. Somehow, this is the beginning of his story, and not the end.

Summary
Lily looked at him disbelievingly. “You’re dating a terrorist.”
“He’s not a terrorist,” James said, somehow offended. “He just—has a reputation.”
“Yes, a reputation for terrorism,” Lily said, like James was a bit slow.
James crossed his arms, visibly bristling. “He’s actually very principled.”
“So is every fascist. That’s kind of the problem.”
—
Or, Lily Evans judges James for his poor taste in men, then goes on to make significantly worse decisions.
Featuring: academic burnout, moral spirals, inconvenient attraction, and the deeply ironic process of falling in love with someone you’d confidently list as a reason the world’s going to hell.
She’s not proud of it. But he is very pretty.

Summary
“What I find absolutely fascinating,” Riddle said, stalking closer, “is you.” He marched forward, backing Harry up until he was pinned to the cool wall of the common room. “Do you know why?”
“No. And I’ll be honest here, Riddle, I don’t particularly care.”
The taller boy grinned at him, small yet infinitely pleased. “That. Right there.” One hand rose and brushed some of Harry’s fringe from his face. “Nathan Ciro was a spineless little boy too afraid of his own shadow to dare even glance in my direction. But you…”
He leaned closer, “You look at me like you want to stab me.”
After an accident, Auror Harry Potter wakes up in the body of fourteen year old Nathan Ciro, a tormented Slytherin who recently tried to end his own life. Seeking answers to his strange predicament, Harry returns to Hogwarts, and causes quite the stir through staff and students - especially when they come to realise he is not the same boy as before.
He tries to avoid suspicion, but as his quest for the truth draws more and more attention to him, Harry begins to think that he might not like what he will discover.

Summary
Christmas 1979—danger, secrets, lies and their shared history looms large over the Blacks' first Yuletide season as a reunited family. While life as a fugitive proves bleaker (and more boring) than Regulus could have imagined, a botched espionage mission at Malfoy Manor draws Sirius deeper into the Black family web—and his cousin Narcissa's social set.
Meanwhile, Walburga hatches a daring scheme to restore her wild firstborn's damaged reputation in the family—finding him a suitable bride—while Orion grapples with the past, and the high price his two sons have paid for his inaction.

Summary
Regulus hadn’t planned on leaving the cave alive. But as he stood there on the shore looking out at the eerie green glow of the lake, he couldn’t find it in himself to finish the march to his death. Years later, he thinks he missed his one shot at redemption by leaving the cave empty-handed—that is, until an all too familiar face (or masked voice) shows up at Grimmauld Place for a Death Eater meeting.
OR
It’s June of 1981 and Regulus and Remus work together against the clock to expose Peter for the rat he is.

Summary
The first two nights, Harry sleeps like the dead— or, well, maybe that's not the best comparison, given the number of inferi attacks reported lately.
He sleeps like a log. Like a dead log. An un-re-animated dead log. From an everyday, inanimate, non-whomping tree.
After that, Harry wakes up screaming more nights than not, and he even cries on the bad ones, which makes James cry too. In this regard, James reckons that his first week of parenting a full-grown teenage adult bears an awful lot of resemblance to parenting a newborn baby. He feels both blessed and terrifyingly out of his depth.

Summary
Here's what happened. James and Lily had died to protect their son. They had done it all for Harry, did everything they could to ensure his safety and happiness. All for Albus to dump him at Petunia's where he was neglected and abused.
Lily had seen it, sort of. The afterlife was weird like that. You could watch your living loved ones but not directly. It wasn't like turning on the telly and watching their lives. It was more of a feeling with flashes of memories. She could feel her son's pain, his confusion, his fear, his hopelessness. Every once in a while she could see him too, locked up in his little cupboard, not bothering to cry because he knew that tears would only bring more pain. She could feel his hunger, his desperation. It was eating her alive... Well... Not alive. That was the problem.
The afterlife was supposed to bring them peace, it was supposed to be their final resting place, but Lily couldn't rest, not when Harry was wasting away in some dark hole and nobody was doing anything to fix it.
She was his mother, and she was going to fix it. And if that ment dragging her husband and their new friend back through the veil to the land of the living, then so be it.
