    Summary

    Severus knew better than anyone how cruel fate could be. He had seen his father’s name branded on his mother’s arm and how that had been more of a curse than anything else. And he saw it again now as a thread of ink began to crawl across his arm.

    As the name formed, he saw in silent horror one of his worst nightmares being fulfilled. Fate was nothing but merciless. So cruel and infamous that it had to unite him with the person he hated most in the world.

    `James Potter`

    (or Severus hates James, James hates Severus but they are soul mates. Severus is willing to ignore that mark but James, who grew up with the idea of a perfect life with his soul mate, won't let it go.)

    Summary

    AU & headcanon-oriented time travel. A freak cauldron explosion leads the Marauders, Lily, and Sev hurtling forward into the future where they come into contact with Harry and friends during their 5th Year at Hogwarts. Alternating POV's. Anything is possible. Lots of silly shenanigans, but also an emotional rollercoaster.

    ⋆ ⋆ ⋆

    Harry held his breath.

    The following fraction of a moment felt like a heartbeat split with an eternity—unstable enough to simultaneously rattle and soothe the collective consciousness.

    A boy of Harry's height and frame stepped through the portrait hole. He had round spectacles, a long nose, and dark hair that stuck up in all directions.

    "Wow!" Fred and George exclaimed in unison, looking between Harry and James. "You're identical!"

    Summary

    At the end of first year, Harry pocketed the Philosopher's Stone- in a secret pocket that everyone else missed.

    Now, two years later, Harry is in his third year, his friends are having the time of their lives in Hogsmeade, there's an escaped mass murderer running around, and Harry is going stir-crazy. Fortunately, the twins have a solution! Although- they're going to need something in return, and it needs to be good.

    Good thing Harry kept that Stone, huh?

    And then things go completely bat-shit crazy.

    (featuring the Marauders vs 1993, an exhausted Professor Lupin, a bewildered Harry Potter, and an opportunistic Hermione Granger)

    Summary

    Lucius had not ever really taken the interest in his other housemates. Had not particularly cared about the few stragglers or the first years, or second, or third really. They held no interest or curiosity to him. In fact, outside of his arranged marriage to Narcissa, and therefore the necessary attention that he gave the sixth year girl, he did not pay attention to anyone really.

    That changed once he saw Severus Snape. A boy that was, previously, did not exist in Lucius' gaze. He was far too concerned about other things. Being Head Boy, readying to take over the Malfoy name, The Dark Lord's agenda. And, reluctantly, his arrangement with the Blacks.
    However...there was some promise in the young forth year. He had to give them that. Rather pretty, well, as far as a boy went, and Lucius was sure that they would clean up much better...needless to say, his last year, which he thought was going to be rather drall, just became rather interesting.
