1 – 6 of 6 Works in Post-First Wizarding War with Voldemort (Harry Potter)
Summary
What if Peter Pettigrew had been caught?
What if Sirius Black never went to Azkaban?In a single split-second decision, the course of the wizarding world changes. Instead of prison, Sirius Black finds himself raising Harry James Potter—alongside Remus Lupin and, through reluctant necessity (and fate), Severus Snape.
Three men. One child. And a life shaped not by prophecy, but by choice.
Raised with as many last names as parents, Harry grows up loved—fiercely, if not always gently. Trained in magic, politics, memory, and legacy, he learns that to love is not to shield, but to prepare. He isn’t hidden from the dark—he’s taught how to walk through it.
Part I: A childhood of broken men, healing bonds, and quiet resilience. (Chapters 1–28 | 221k words)
Part II: Slytherin Harry at Hogwarts. Ambitious, kind, loyal to a fault, and destined to surprise them all. (Ongoing)Not the Boy Who Lived they expected. And perhaps something more powerful: a boy who was loved.

Summary
Anthology containing:
A Life Worth Living
After the war, Harry Potter finds himself drowning in the aftermath of a battle he was never meant to survive. Voldemort’s defeat has left him carrying a heavy burden—a paradoxical mix of relief and survivor’s guilt that drives him into a downward spiral of depression and alcohol abuse. Seeking solace in the chaos of crowded nightclubs and the numbing haze of intoxication, Harry begins to lose sight of himself and the people who care about him.
But even when Harry had given up on himself, there was one person who refused to let him succumb to his own self-loathing: Ginny Weasley.
With a fierce determination and a love that cut through his despair, Ginny pulled Harry back from the brink. In her unwavering belief, Harry discovered that someone truly needed him—someone whose world would shatter if he slipped away for good.
And so, Harry resolves to fight—for her, for himself, and for a life worth living.
The Golden Snitch (Updating)
James Potter never thought he’d find himself in a situation this bizarre, even by Marauder standards.
Desperate for a way to defeat Voldemort, James and the Order of the Phoenix performed an ancient ritual, summoning a powerful figure from another time and place. When the man arrived, James wasn’t sure if they’d gained an ally or unleashed another threat. But his son, Harry, took to the stranger instantly, fondly dubbing him “Mr. Snitch” after the man playfully adopted the name.
It was hard for James to reconcile Snitch’s gentleness with the sheer skill and power he commanded—power wielded so effortlessly that he spoke Voldemort’s name as if he did not know the concept of fear. And even through his guard, James couldn’t ignore how the stranger softened whenever he played with Harry, his voice almost aching with a quiet, unspoken longing when he spoke with James and Lily.
Who was this man, really? And why did James feel such a pull towards him, a deep warmth that seemed to defy logic? James was determined to uncover the truth, for the stranger felt like more than just an ally. He felt like a friend—like someone James had known for so long.

Peter Pettigrew and the Ghost of Christmas James by gonzoclock
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
19 Dec 2023
Summary
Peter loves his friends. Which is why he had to kill them. And now, he's doing- well. Alright. Things didn't turn out exactly as he'd anticipated, but he's making it work. Living his life. As a rat. Mostly trying not to think about things.
Fine. Things could be better.
But he hadn't thought they'd get worse- which is exactly what happens when, three years after James died, he's come back. And for some godforsaken reason, he's decided to make that Peter's problem. (Okay, okay- Peter gets it. He did kill him.) Peter is sure that James is going to turn him in, ruin his life the same as Peter had ruined the Marauders.
But this is James. And he doesn't do any of that.
What was Peter expecting, really?
(Features: A lot of fighting, a lot of forgiveness, and a splash of necromancy. Alright, you got me- rather a lot of necromancy. But come on- we can't just have the ghost of Christmas James show up. Haven't you seen 'A Muppet's Christmas Carol'? There needs to be at least two more ghosts.)
