Alternate Universe

Here Be Dragons

by shosier

As a little boy, Charlie Weasley cultivated a passion for dragons. But that little boy had no way of knowing where that passion would take him in life. These are Charlie's adventures – the ones only hinted at in canon. My story consists of vignettes of Charlie's life, with emphasis on those rare, brief moments when JKR mentioned him in passing, and few other gaps filled in.

Lessons in Metempsychosis and Saṅsāra

by TeaOli

After dying in the Shrieking Shack, Severus Snape is sent back so that he can learn to be a functional human being. In spite of the strides he appears to make, he and his very own “Clarence” know that it’s mostly window-dressing.

Hermione Granger doesn’t regret the choices she made during the war, but that doesn’t stop her seeking some sort of absolution for some of the consequences. If she could let go of her guilt, she might learn to believe she’s got abilities beyond being a swot.

The Sorting of Suzie Sefton

by MMADfan

An old wand finds its witch at long-last as a new Muggle-born enters the wizarding world.

Her first encounter with Severus Snape is particularly dramatic—and potentially traumatic.

Not DH-compliant. A “sister story” to A Long Vernal Season.

Chapter One: Wand Waving

Warning: Spoilers for A Long Vernal Season and for Death’s Dominion, to which Long Vernal Season is the sequel.

Parallel Dilemma

by nagandsev

Hermione is thrown into a parallel universe where everything is the same but different. While there, she finds another who has suffered the same fate as her, and together they try to find their way back to their home universe. Originally conceived as a gift for nottonyharrison for the GE Fic Exchange 2013, based on her wonderful prompt; due to helpful encouragement and much needed sprucing up, and generous support by a help-squad of wonderful witches, the story has now been given more proper love and care.
