    Summary

    Harry dies, and his story ends.
    Only, Death isn’t finished with him.

    Offered a hand, he takes it—and in doing so, he is unmade and recast.

    Changed beyond recognition, in body, in soul, in spirit. No longer the Boy Who Lived, no longer the child who bore the weight of prophecy.

    When the world he left behind collides once more with the life he has made, will they recognise what he has become? Or will they see only a stranger wearing the shadow of someone they lost?

    A tale of endings, beginnings, and what it means to be reborn.

    Summary

    Holly Potter learnt at Gringotts that her father wasn’t James Potter, but some guy named Anthony Stark.

    Tony Stark was very confused when a paternity claim was delivered directly to his bedroom by a snowy owl.

    They begin a correspondence of letters, not knowing what bizarre revelations will come of it, all mediated by our favourite Arctic avian and told in real time as the letters are delivered.

    Covers Hogwarts first year. Holly was born in 2000. Formerly “Flight of the Post Owl.”

    Summary

    Anthony Bridgerton has been brought in to speak at Penelope Featherington's university at the last minute, after a colleague had to drop out. Penelope has been assigned to be his escort and make sure he has everything he needs. They've known each other for years, but Penelope has never been more than Eloise's shy friend, and Anthony has always been too intimidating for Penelope to ever really have a conversation with him.

    Everything is going fine, Anthony's charming the audience with his speech, when Penelope catches something in the audience. A glint of something shiny. She reacts before she has time to think, and ends up taking a bullet that was meant for Anthony. Suddenly the girl he never noticed is the only person who matters. And when the doctors tell him only family is allowed to see her, Anthony has to get creative.

    Summary

    An AU take on Harry Potter not being raised by the Dursley's.

    This is the first thing I've ever written. ANY feedback is welcome. Also, if I've left anything out that needs to be added in the tags etc - please let me know. As I said, total newbie here - but, this story keeps writing itself in my head, so I thought I'd give sharing it a try.

    Summary

    Betrayed by his relatives, abandoned by the magical world, and robbed of his birthright, Harry Potter was left to perish in an orphanage.

    But what if Sirius Black escaped just in time to save him? Raised outside the corrupt influence of Wizarding Britain, Harry returns not as a pawn or a saviour, but as a conqueror.

    With his godfather at his side and his queen in his heart, he will shatter the old world and forge a new empire in its ashes. This is not the story of the Boy-Who-Lived; this is the story of the man who became a God.

    AU. Powerful Harry. No Potter family bashing.
