    Summary

    Before she was the Grey Lady, Helena Ravenclaw was a child in an enchanted room, sleeping beneath seven silver birds her mother had taught to sing.

    Before the diadem became a Horcrux, it was the only part of Rowena Ravenclaw that her daughter had ever been allowed to possess.

    Before the Bloody Baron was bloody, he called possession love.

    History remembers how Helena died. It does not remember what made her leave.

    Helena Ravenclaw wanted her mother’s arms. Rowena gave her a tower.

    I wanted to explore the stories hidden in the margins of Harry Potter. Not by rewriting canon, but by crawling into the rooms it left locked and turning its smallest background details into entire tragedies. I don’t think I’ve ever had more fun writing a story than I did with this one. I’d love to know what you think!

    Summary

    It was April Fools’ Day. The Great Hall was bustling with life, students snickering to their friends. Everyone had a prank they wanted to pull today.

    Harry knew who he wanted to prank: Tom Riddle. The man was the Slytherin prefect and his greatest enemy.

    ***

    A story in which Harry decides to prank Riddle by acting differently. He decides to act nice. It doesn’t go as planned.

    Summary

    The Alpha’s hands then landed on his thighs.

    “Who’s going to take care of you, Harry?” Tom murmured. “You went and got yourself drunk. You made yourself witless. You always put yourself in danger, but I take care of you.” Tom then helped Harry out of his trousers.

    He stared at him purposefully. “You’d be a wreck without me, mother.”

    Harry slowly tilted his head.

    Mother?

    Or: Harry Potter gets so drunk that he forgets that Tom Riddle is his son. He forgets that he travelled back in time to raise him.

    And Tom would be remiss to waste such an invaluable opportunity.

    Summary

    Harry gets hit by a killing curse and instead of dying travels to a different reality where he is the bratty husband of the Minister of Magic Tom Riddle. Harry realizes that his husband actually hates him and can barely tolerate his scandalous and petty behaviour and married him only for political connections with the Potter family. That's all good since he doesn't like Riddle either. Tom, on the other hand, is confused by his pureblood husband's new and strange behaviour.
