Bernard Dowd, the newest kid to take on the Robin mantle, has big shoes to fill. With Batman still mired in grief after the death of Jason Todd, a new villain over the horizon gunning for Batman's life, and coincidence after coincidence pointing to a grand design, he'll have to solve a deadly array of happenings and get down to the bottom of it all: Who is Moriarty?

Anthology containing:
Choices
Draco's one goal his eighth and final year at Hogwarts is to get through to graduation with his head down but he should have known nothing could ever be that simple.
Not two weeks into term, everything goes to shit when a potions lesson goes awry. Stuck to his long-time rival until a solvent can be brewed to unglue their hands, Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter must get along and make accommodations for each other for the sake of their joint sanity. At least neither of them is inclined to kill the other anymore and Potter inexplicably wants to be friends.
One big problem: if they don't get unstuck soon, there's going to be big trouble and Draco's greatest secrets could get out and ruin everything.
Harry's Choice
This is a companion to Choices. It is a collection of chapters from Harry's POV. If you haven't read Choices, you should read that first as this one leaves out many details and contains spoilers.
Chapter 1 can be read as a prequel to the prologue of Choices.
Expectations
Lily Potter-Malfoy is a Legilimens but only her family know. Unlike her siblings, she's not excited for her first year at Hogwarts, but with her cousins Ellie and Daisy, she might just manage. But with hundreds of people's thoughts overlapping with each other in her mind, not to mention certain expectations that come from being the child of the most famous wizard of the modern day, school is a little bit more complicated for her than it is for other people. And it's only made more complicated by her fathers being the new teachers the same year she starts.
Besides school drama, Lily also has family drama going on at home. Her dad's aunt is coming around more and more often, and her papa's father is soon to be released from Azkaban and he doesn't approve of her family.
*Can be read as a standalone but I recommend you read Choices and Harry's Choice first*

Summary
Remus saves Sirius from Azkaban, who takes one look at Privet Drive, and takes his godson away without a second thought. Years later, they’ve built a home with Harry, tea-stained mornings, forehead kisses, and love without question. But the past never stays buried. Between raising Harry, healing old wounds, and an unexpected proposal, Sirius and Remus find themselves caught between love, war, and the vows they’ve already made without speaking them aloud.
(or Harry just wants his godfathers to get married already!)(Warning: This is filled with tooth-rotting fluff, ridiculous amounts of kisses, and an ungodly number of cuddles.

The Heir to the House of Prince
"So you're adopted?
"Supposedly.""So your Dad ... he's not ...?"
"Seems like it."
"Huh." Theo stares at Harry with those grey eyes that look silver in the cauldron smoke between them. "But you're the heir to this ... House of Prince, so he's probably -""Yes. Probably." Harry looks at Theo sharply. "You don't know who he is, do you?"
"No." Theo looks back just as sharply. "If I did, I would tell you. You know I would."
"I do."
Something loosens inside Harry's chest. Something that has been tightening ever since Cedric died. He may not have his friends, or Sirius, or even know who he fucking is anymore, but he has this. At least he has Theo.
Summer of 4th year and Harry's all alone, dealing with his grief and the sudden revelation that James Potter is not his father. Support comes in a strange form. The form of Theo Nott, son of a death Eater. A strange friend who says he'll help him find his true father, whoever this Lord Prince might be.
The Heir to the House of Prince Part 2 - The rise of the Black Prince
Harry dreams.
Beyond the veil, he realises that there is no taste to the air. He stands with the Black Prince and watches the ravens fly in slow circles above a triangle made of shadows.
"I'm dreaming," Harry says.
"You may be," the Black Prince smiles at him.
"Are you?" Harry asks. "Dreaming?"
"It's possible," the Black Prince watches the ravens with soft familiarity. "This is the place where we meet."
Then Sirius' arms are around him. Warm, strong, loving, hugging him from behind with that smell of cigarettes and whisky. "You're a lynchpin in the universe, Harry."
Harry turns with a smile to hug his godfather but Sirius is not there. Bellatrix is leaning over him and Harry is encased in stone, unable to breathe, unable to think through the pain in his hand.
"I expected more."
Harry screams and wakes, but not for long.
The dreams pull him back.The Heir to the House of Prince Part 3 - The Last Necromancer

Then from the body of Mryddin where he lay, his life spent upon the field of battle, they took a bone from his arm that had borne the sword of the lake. Each part they gave to Death and she fashioned for Morgana Le Fey a weapon of great power."

Summary
Izuku doesn’t cry.
He won’t cry until the battle, when he’s falling through the air, when it settles in just how real it is that he’s going to die, because yeah, All Might warned him this would happen, but there’s always been a part of Izuku that thought he’d live forever.
Or, how an underground hero helps an orphan Midoriya Izuku become something more than a lost vigilante.

Summary
People often fear the Death tarot card. Those who don't already know its meaning tend to think it's a bad omen. But Tarot's 13th card doesn't mean physical death. It means change, transformation, the death of self, rebirth. Metamorphosis. It is a painful, arduous, and grueling process, but enduring it will lead you to freedom; a lesson Harry learns in one of the hardest ways possible.
After overhearing something at the end of Sixth Year, his entire world gets turned on its head. In hindsight, he really should have told someone. But who would believe him? So home he went. Three days is all it takes for death to knock on his door. With nowhere else to turn, he takes down every shield, every doubt, every ounce of fear, and reaches out.

Fledge
When Jason Todd died, Tim took it upon himself to find a way to save Batman from his dark spiral of violence. Maybe if things had gone differently Tim would have offered himself up to take the Robin mantle and work alongside his hero. Unfortunately, Tim was too busy running his parents' company after the untimely death of his mother. But he knew how to be useful, and other opportunities presented themselves for him to do just that. He felt a little bad about helping to kidnap Damian, but decidedly less bad about helping Steph become a hero. He just hoped that his use wouldn't run out before getting to help his Robin.

Anthology containing:
Draco Malfoy & the Journal of Dreadful Things
“Draco, nothing is how we wanted it to be. It wasn't what we were raised to believe,” Future-Draco emphasised, eyes pleading, mouth a grim line. “You need to change our fate.”
The boy's gaze snapped back up to the man's.
“What? How am I supposed to –?”
“Today is the thirty-first of July nineteen ninety-one, yes?” Future-Draco asked, reaching inside his cloak. Draco nodded, frowning.
“Today is the day you meet Harry Potter.”
“I do?!” Draco gasped, delighted.
Future-Draco paused in his actions, his face scrunched into a sneer. “Yes,” he said, “you meet him when you get your robes fitted at Madam Malkin's. You don't make a good first impression, clearly.”
“Why ever not?” Draco pouted. “What's not to like about me?”
Draco Malfoy & the Horror of the Heir
Draco Malfoy is having the worst summer of his life. It's too hot, his father keeps having strange meetings, and worst of all, Harry Potter won't respond to any of his owls.
Oh well. At least there won't be any strange magical books showing up to ruin this school year.
Draco Malfoy & the Study of Muggles
Draco Malfoy is determined to have a much calmer school year after the events of the last one. With no possession or petrifications, surely he can just get on with his studies and mess around like a normal thirteen year old, right?
Apparently not when you're friends with stupid scarheaded Harry Potter and your deranged cousin's broken out of Azkaban.

Harry Potter & Seven Years of Chaos Anthology by JessalynMichele, Severitus812 (JessalynMichele)
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
10 Jul 2025
Summary
Anthology containing:
Obliviate
What if Harry understood his “freaky accidents” when he was young and began controlling them? How would this impact his first year at Hogwarts?
*Warning for: child abuse, implied sexual assault of a minor, and descriptions of violence.Sectumsempra
Harry Potter enters his second year at Hogwarts surrounded by power, allies, enemies, secrets that whisper to him from the castle walls, and a past that won’t give him any peace.
Severus Snape prepares himself for another year of keeping the most chaotic student he has ever had the (mis)fortune of meeting alive.
Welcome to the Chamber of Secrets.
Veritaserum
Does Snape really think that Harry is worried about another mad man after him?
He can handle himself, thanks.
Changes in the gang and at Hogwarts are running rampant as Snape tries to deal with a ward who he believes may be struggling with more than just his copious amounts of past trauma, Harry wants everyone to leave him alone and let him find Sirius Black for a 'friendly chat', Susan fantasizes about what she'll do if she even so much as sees one hair of Sirius Blacks head near her best friend, Hermione and Theo just want to read... alone... together..., and Remus Lupin wonders what on Earth happened to James' son to create the chaotic child he now meets.
Welcome back to Year 3.
Tres Mortes
Harry feels great, honestly. He’s got a loyal group of friends, big plans for the future, and he thinks he’s finally gotten the hang of how other people show emotions and how to use those emotions to get what he needs.
Plus now there’s an exciting tournament happening, Snape’s darkening mark means Harry might get his chance for revenge on Voldemort sooner rather than later, and the new Defense Professor is an absolute bloodthirsty genius.
So Harry’s great.
It’s just that Severus Snape is not doing so great. He worries if his ward will survive a year filled with danger, masked enemies, and changes happening quickly within the student body.
Welcome back to Year Four.
Let’s see some chaos, yeah?The Grey Force
Harry Potter has magical power that has never been seen before, an ever growing gang of powerful and brilliant allies, and enough cunning and strength to face whatever comes his way this year.
Unfortunately, Harry Potter also has mental illness, a tendency for idiocy, powerful enemies, and a reckless streak that has taken at least ten years off Severus Snape’s lifespan so far- so Severus enters the year with more reservations than his foolish ward does.
Alliances will be tested, lines will be drawn, and Hogwarts is beginning to feel like a battlefield more than a school.
Which, in Harry’s opinion, is perfectly brill.
Welcome to Year Five.

Summary
After the war, the Ministry enacts a new law: all returning 8th Year students must be magically bonded—or lose their magic forever.
Harry Potter is paired with Draco Malfoy.
Forced to live together, share a bed, and endure the effects of a soul-deep bond that lets them feel each other's emotions, Harry spirals under the weight of trauma, panic, and guilt. He tries to hide it. Draco—quiet, unreadable, and far more perceptive than Harry wants him to be—starts calming him through the bond without ever saying a word.
Until Harry breaks. And Draco stays.
And Draco breaks. And Harry stays.
Enemies-to-lovers, slow-burn, soul bond, one-bed, mutual trauma, hurt/comfort, and eventually… love that heals instead of hurts.
