Summary
Three monumental things happened in 1990:
Firstly, Fleamont and Euphemia Potter put their foot down and forced their son James to marry a witch they approved of.
Secondly, Albus Dumbledore decided to try one last time to hire a Divination Professor.
Thirdly, a witch called Lily Evans developed a counter for the Imperius Curse.
But as far as Harry Evans was concerned, nearly two decades later and half a world away, none of these events had anything to do with his life. He was just trying to get by as an Ilvermorny graduate and single teen father in a dangerous world. He’s got bigger problems than magical civil wars on the other side of the planet.
Albus Dumbledore, however, would disagree. With the resurrection of the Dark Lord Voldemort, all eyes have turned to a prophecy predicting a wizard who would be the Dark Lord’s downfall. The nation’s hopes rested on James Potter’s son Nate, famous for surviving the unsurvivable and killing the Dark Lord as a baby seventeen years previously. But as the only person to have heard the full prophecy, Dumbledore was uncertain. And his search for the real savior keeps drawing him back to a little boy everyone assumed was a squib.

Summary
Sorrel Potter is a compulsive liar. Sorrel Potter is not a compulsive liar.
Both of these are true. Both of these are false.
He wishes the world could be cut into black and white, into red and green. It can’t. He’s watched too many people try.
So here is a truth.
Sorrel’s tongue turned silver before he lost his milk teeth.
It turned red when he was fifteen.
It’s still from the lies.Or- Sorrel Potter, a character study.

Summary
Harry Potter knows the drill. Do well in school. Make his parents proud. And above all else, protect his twin sister Evan. She is the Girl-Who-Lived, after all.
Being responsible for his sister isn't easy, and sometimes it can feel like he's nothing but a shadow on the wall, keeping pace with Evan as she traverses a dangerous future. But to Theodore Nott, he isn't a shadow. To him, Harry is everything, Harry deserves everything, and if he can't have it all, then he damn well deserves to be happy.
Right when Harry starts to think that Theo has a point, everything goes wrong.
Written for "Wrong Boy-Who-Lived Week"!

Summary
The Chosen one, the Hero, the Good Guy. They are basically synonymous. The benevolent saviour that sweeps in to take away the evil monster plaguing the lands. It's odd, how "good" becomes subjective when your villains are keeping your safe.
—
Evil is entirely subjective. And Harry is evil in the eyes of many.
To slay a noble creature, to discard his friends in favour of success… to walk among his peers, head held high, seemingly uncaring for their judgement whispered behind his back, cajoled in the hallways once the crowd closed behind him.

Summary
Mistakes were made. Harry Potter is not one of them, despite how many acted. Theo isn't a mistake either, even if Harry's twin doubts it at first.
Mistake are the eyes turned elsewhere, the child set free on his own accord, even if it's to make his own mistakes.
(all of them have consequences)Voldemort is dead; that's the least of their problems.
