    Summary

    The war is over, but Harry Potter has developed a dangerous obsession with Draco Malfoy. During eighth year, he secretly follows and observes Draco, collecting clues and objects while believing Draco hasn't noticed.

    But Draco is far more perceptive than Harry expects. He recognizes the signs of Harry's presence and begins deliberately leaving clues and setting traps of his own. What starts as one sided surveillance becomes a secret game of mutual observation, coded messages, jealousy, and manipulation.

    Neither of them will openly acknowledge what is happening. Beneath the unhealthy foundation, however, genuine moments of vulnerability and tenderness begin to emerge, leaving both of them unsure where the game ends and their real feelings begin.

    Meanwhile, Hermione quietly notices the strange relationship developing between them, and chooses to keep what she discovers to herself.

    Summary

    What would you do if you woke up in an 12-year-old's body with adult memories and the knowledge that you're supposed to be a villain?
    A 34-year-old mother from 2025 dies and awakens as Petunia Evans in 1971. She knows exactly how this story is supposed to go—Petunia becomes bitter, magic-hating, and crucial to Harry Potter's survival. So she tries to change nothing. Stay invisible. Let events unfold.
    Then she gets Sorted into Slytherin.
    Now she's mastering magic she's not supposed to have, forming impossible friendships across house lines, and discovering that erasing a child's memories comes with consequences no one warned her about. Her Seer visions are getting darker, her failed Animagus transformation is changing her into something inhuman, and her desperate attempts to preserve the timeline are creating entirely new disasters.
    Some knowledge is too dangerous to keep. Some futures are too important to save.

    Summary

    Harry thought he was going to be the perfect father who gave all his children the life he never had.

    Instead, his sons hate him and his daughter always smells like burned rubber.

    He doesn't think anything could be worse than family life.

    That's until Draco Malfoy shows up just to rub it in that he can raise his kid better.

    As long as Harry can stay in his element at work, it'll be alright.

    Until his life wants to get a hold of his last beacon of peace, too. Not that it ever really was one.

    The truth about the Horcruxes was a lot worse than the Auror department ever thought, and by the time they're finally on the case, they're already centuries too late.

    (TW: INTENSE! JK said a Horcrux is created by doing the evilest thing in the world, and muggles do worse things than Voldemort did when they get bored! I don't do wish fulfillment or coddling. I'm not responsible for the actions of my characters, read at your own risk)

    Summary

    Harry Potter only wants one thing: to take care of the people he loves. After Teddy’s abrupt departure from his role as Andromeda’s caretaker, Harry decides it’s finally time to step up and handle the job himself.

    Castoff Manor, an old Black family estate, has never seemed as sinister as the stories make it sound, but it’s there that Harry stumbles upon ghosts, haunting family secrets, and a familiar, snarky blond gardener hell-bent on chasing him out. Maybe if Harry sticks around long enough, he’ll finally learn why all of Andromeda’s previous caretakers have fled without looking back.

    Summary

    It’s been six years since Voldemort was defeated, and five since Harry Potter vanished without a trace.

    Just as his friends have given up hope of ever seeing him again, he stumbles back into their lives - but something is very, very wrong. They soon learn that Harry had spent five years trapped in the land of the dead, acquiring strange and terrible new powers. Ancient magics are awakening, and they are keenly interested in the recent happenings of the wizarding world. Voldemort was just the beginning, it seems.

    Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Neville all find themselves searching for answers in a dawning Age of Warlocks - an age in which powerful wizards are trophies for godlike beings, coveted pawns in a high-stakes inter-dimensional game of chess.

    Throughout it all, Neville and Harry are irresistibly drawn to one another - but can love survive in a dawning era of violence, necromancy, and power?

    Summary

    Anthology containing:

    Child of the Storm by NimbusLlewelyn

    New Mexico was not the first time Thor had been a mortal. It was only a refinement of the technique. What if James Potter had been Thor, incarnated as a memoryless newborn? On his death, Odin removed his memories as James, due to grief. In Harry's Third Year, a reformed Loki restores them. Harry now has to deal with a father, a family and a heritage that is going to change the world. Forever. Sounds like fun.


    Chaos Reigns by NimbusLlewelyn

    A twoshot spinoff of 'Child of the Storm', set during chapters 58 to 60. The Avengers are on holiday. SHIELD are busy fighting HYDRA. Who you gonna call? If you're Wanda Maximoff, heir apparent to the Sorcerer Supreme, in Chicago to deal with a major demon problem, the answer is Harry Dresden. The two of them aren't going to have much in the way of help. But that's okay. It's only the world at stake, after all.


    Ghosts of the Past: Prelude by NimbusLlewelyn

    Harry's life has changed a lot over the past year, what with the return of his father, Thor, murder attempts by everything from HYDRA assassins to Elder Gods keeping him on his toes, and making a few new friends. Oh, and, possibly the most trying experience of them all, the onset of puberty. But while Chthon and HYDRA are gone, all sorts of dark things have been stirred up, things thought long gone. And guess who they're after...

    I've broken this story down into its component arcs, because it is enormously long, set to become longer, and each is basically story length anyway. That makes it easier to digest for you guys, and easier to tag for me without overdoing it or spoiling component parts.


    Ghosts of the Past: Forever Red by NimbusLlewelyn

    HYDRA has fallen, and SHIELD is a shadow of its former self. Now, into the vacuum steps a power that once made both tremble: the Red Room. A nightmare of the Cold War, resurrected with new ambitions and greater powers, it conceals worse things at its heart. Surrounded by woven traps and dark secrets, in a world sent into disarray, Harry will be reminded of the oldest lesson of all: what is right is not the same as what is easy.


    Chaperone by NimbusLlewelyn & ThunderStag

    An omake written for Nimbus Llewelyn's Child of the Storm series, based on an offhand comment probably seven or eight years ago at this point.

    (Nimbus: the actual setting of this is intentionally uncertain, but imagine it a few years down the line from Ghosts of the Past. Also, my writing role was a few comments/suggestions/incessantly bugging ThunderStag to post this).


    Ghosts of the Past: Recovery by NimbusLlewelyn

    The Red Room has fallen. Long live the consequences. Following the aftermath of the disasters of 'Forever Red', Harry begins the road to recovery. It is a long one - and not, by any means, either simple or easy. Unfortunately, the world isn't done with him yet... and things, and secrets, are starting to come unravelled.

    Summary

    Series Summary:
    In which now-Emperor Vader discovered and reclaimed his children when the twins were sixteen, but Palpatine got there first.

    Twelve years later, a Mandalorian makes a deal with an Imperial High Prince in order to protect his most beloved cargo.

    Anthology containing:

    through power, there is victory

    Then, slipping between Stormtroopers like a living shadow, another man appears.

    He’s of modest height and slim build, clad in a black cloak with the hood pulled up over his head. The energy in the room instantly changes as he steps forward, becoming weighted and charged. There’s a sense of raw deference in the way everyone watches him. When the commander from earlier steps forward and tries to speak, the man raises a gloved hand to cut him off without looking, dismissing him as easily as one of the rank and file.

    Din’s stomach bottoms out.
     
    -

    In a galaxy under Emperor Vader’s rule, Din and Grogu are intercepted by Imperials.


    only as strong as the warrior next to you

    With an indolent air, Luke rests his elbows on the railing, leaning forward to better take in the action.

    Below the Mandalorian is already in motion, beskar a glinting contrast to black walls and floors. Luke’s eyes trail him as he moves, bitter and gluttonous. Watching as Din takes stock of the concrete half-walls, helmet tilting upward to survey the turrets above. Exploring terrain before the simulation is initiated, his professionalism unaffected by the tension that still lingers beneath armor.

    Compartmentalization is a skill Luke learned involuntarily; a way to cope with the horror that was once his daily existence. Din, by contrast, embodies the very practice of it. That rigid separation between self and other.

    The Mandalorian’s inner world is so vast, Luke could get lost in it.

    -

    Imperial High Prince Skywalker has taken himself a bodyguard.

    The Mandalorian, and the rest of the galaxy, don’t know what’s coming for them.

    Summary

    Once upon a time, I started writing a time travel AU in which Anakin Skywalker ended up in 51 ABY, met his grandchildren, and dealt with his own dark legacy while helping the remaining Jedi in their struggle against a new Sith Empire. It was supposed to just be that one story - and then my brain decided to do a thing, and oops, look at that, I have a whole 'verse now.

    These stories do not need to be read in any particular order, and I like to think you can start with any of them. They're currently listed in the order they were posted.

    There's a bit of everything here: drama, action, angst (okay, more than a bit of angst), romance (often dark, but not always), horror (mostly of the psychological variety), introspection, and even some humor. There are also a fair number of original characters, but that's sort of necessary when you're operating 50-60 years after ANH. Hopefully you'll find something to enjoy, and maybe even come back for more. ;)

    (If you're interested in the various AUs of this 'verse, including the one where Anakin didn't turn to the dark side, see my sister series, Enter!verse AUs)

    Anthology containing:

    Enter the Foreign

    Just before his fateful turn to the dark side, Anakin Skywalker is transported 70 years into the future, where he meets the ragtag remainder of the Jedi Order and becomes engulfed in their struggle against the new Sith Empire. Leading this fractured band of Jedi is Anakin’s grandson, Ben Skywalker, a young Knight still haunted by the deaths of his loved ones and by the betrayal of his former master, Darth Caedus.

    But the One Sith have not been idle in the years following the defeat of Caedus. Previously hidden in the shadows, they now stand on the brink of galactic domination, led there by the powerful and enigmatic Darth Krayt. As the two sides hurtle toward a final confrontation, will Anakin be able to separate himself from the shadow of Darth Vader? Or is it simply a matter of destiny – perhaps even the will of the Force – that the Chosen One and his scions should fall…?

    Timeframe: 51 ABY


    The Lands of the Dead

    When two brothers are kidnapped by the Sith, they fight to survive and eventually come to a grim realization: their old lives are gone, the bright fields of day forever past. There are no Jedi here.

    Alternate universe, 43-49 ABY. POV original character, descent into darkness. Features Sith OCs & Jacen Solo (Darth Caedus).

    Prequel to Enter the Foreign, but can be read as a standalone.


    Where the Waves Shatter

    Feelings are hard, especially for a not-quite-former Sith Lord.

    Or,
    Darth Festus and Allana Djo Solo face off in combat for the first time since Vjun.

    Alternate universe, 54 ABY, one-shot, angst, unrequited love, POV original character.

    Inspired by Pablo Neruda's Sonnet IX


    What If This Storm Ends?

    Five times Darth Festus definitely wasn’t in love with a Jedi princess, and one time she definitely wasn’t in love with him.

    Alternate universe, 43-61 ABY, one-shot, angst, denial of feelings, mostly unrequited love.


    Here There Be Monsters

    Several months after earning a place among the Sith initiates, fourteen-year-old Dorian Starskip encounters monsters on the grave world of Korriban. One tries to eat him, one is possibly mentoring him, and a few just really hate his guts. Which of these is most to be feared?

    Alternate universe, 47 ABY, one-shot, introspection, angst, action, descent into darkness. POV original character & POV Jacen Solo.


    HK-47 and the Super Evil Chaos Twins of Evil

    Darth Ferrus asks his brother to buy a maintenance droid for their ship, but Darth Festus has a slightly different idea. Snark, hilarity, and attempted murder ensue.

    Alternate universe, approx. 52-53 ABY, one-shot, humor, brothers being brothers, HK-47 being amazing. POV original character.

    Somewhat of a crack!fic done for amusement and as a challenge response.


    Forces of Gravity

    No matter how hard you fight it, gravity always wins.

    Or,
    Allana Djo Solo is supposed to protect a guy, and Darth Festus is supposed to kill him. This is probably not going to end well.

    Alternate universe, 55 ABY, one-shot, drama, introspection, unrequited love, action, angst.


    In Dreams We Dwell

    After finishing up an assignment on the idyllic planet Kurin, Jedi Knight Allana Djo finds herself attending a lavish masquerade ball… and dealing with a dangerous uninvited guest.

    Alternate universe, 59 ABY, romance, drama, denial of feelings, ust.


    The Way Out Is Through

    alternate universe, 42-51 ABY

    a vignette/ficlet/drabble collection written in response to the JCF 2021 Fanfic Olympics


    Thunderbolt and Lightning

    A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, there lived a pair of twins. Nope, not those twins. Or those ones either.

    alternate universe, 33-58 ABY, featuring OCs Darth Festus & Darth Ferrus, a bit of murdery shenanigans, and a whole lot of psychological damage

    a vignette/ficlet/drabble collection written in response to the JCF 2021 Fanfic Olympics


    Our Weakness Is the Same

    She can't escape his orbit, and he can't escape hers.

    Or,
    Allana Djo Solo and Darth Festus spend ten years trying to kill each other and/or falling in love, maybe.

    alternate universe, 43-61 ABY

    a vignette/ficlet/drabble collection written in response to the JCF 2021 Fanfic Olympics


    Turn Ourselves Into These Ashes

    In the wake of their humiliating defeat on Vjun, Darth Festus and Darth Ferrus lead a surprise attack on a hidden Jedi enclave.

    Alternate universe, 51 ABY, one-shot, angst, introspection, some psychological horror. Missing moment from Enter the Foreign.


    Metamorphosis

    Jacen Solo has had plenty of time to think.

    He thinks about being a student. About being a teacher.

    Being a Jedi, and a Sith, and a traitor.

    Most of all, though, he thinks about being a shadowmoth.

    *alternate universe, 47 ABY, Jacen, Vergere, introspection, one-shot*


    Beneath the Gods of the Bright Sky

    Problem child, worthless Jedi brat, dumb brute… Veeran Starskip has been called a lot of things in his life, but there's one name he'll make sure they never forget.

    alternate universe, 41-49 ABY, drama, coming-of-age, descent into darkness; features Sith OCs and Jacen Solo (Darth Caedus)


    Lover, Hunter, Friend, and Enemy

    Nothing's fair in love and war.

    (a collection of AU vignettes and ficlets featuring Allana Djo Solo and OCs Darth Festus and Darth Ferrus)

  19. Summary

    “The concept is simple, however. Two artifacts that complement each other in origin, magic type, and usage may, when combined, temporarily produce something greater than the sum of their parts. It’s a “hit or miss” phenomenon, as Link likes to call things. Artifacts are rarely built to be companionable, and when they are, it is often a matter of chance. But it is fun to think about, is it not? For example, a magical lens and, say, perhaps a portal, if companionable, may create a portal to a dimension between dimensions -- to a place that is both hypothetical and real at the same time. A lucid, living vision of the most sincere kind of lies.”

    + + + +

    Legend had always been far more curious, intelligent, and mature than any of his reincarnations give him credit for. But when he finds that his Magic Mirror and Time's Lens of Truth fuse into an artifact that reveals each hero's worst nightmares and deepest traumas, one of Legend's defining characteristics overpowers the others.

    AKA: Where Legend can't keep his nose out of everyone else's nightmares and ends up creating a real-world nightmare for himself.
