Harry is a single father trying to raise his godson, Teddy. Unable to ensure his son's safety in the wizarding world he goes into hiding in the muggle one. But one trip to London will undo all of his precautions. Thrown back to the past, Harry will take up the DADA position and fall into the arms of a woman who once spared his life. No time paradox, Light/Badass Harry. T/M rated.

Scion's been killed and the world's been saved. Fantastic! Less fantastic: Contessa realizing she's about to spend the rest of her life dodging Legend and assassination attempts. She decides she's going to be happy, even if that means starting all over again in a different world...

(Credit to Adrasos on Archive and his story, Prepare to Drop, for the idea.) On the way down to New Mombasa, Rookie falls into the Slipspace Rupture and ends up crashing down on Menae, high above Palaven, while Shepard tries to find and rescue the new Primarch. From there, the war itself will shift and the fighting persists, but who knows what an ODST will add to the mix.

Enter the world of Pokémon from a rational perspective. Instead of starting his journey in ignorance, Red has spent his years studying the creatures so central to his world... and he doesn't quite agree with all the information in his books. No time for rookie mistakes here: he's on a quest to discover the true nature of Pokémon, and maybe even find out where they really come from.

When Voldemort attacked the Potters on Halloween, the wizarding world hailed Harry's younger brother Thomas as The Boy Who Lived. But were they right? As Tom starts Hogwarts, wheels are set in motion, assumptions are questioned, and lives are changed forever. Harry's POV. He's two years older than canon, light, and smart. Eventual HP/DG.

My AU retelling of the events in ME2, with a completely new take on Cerberus, the Shadow Broker, and the Collectors. Examines the themes of what exactly constitutes death and life, the line between revenge and self-hatred, and how small amounts of light can shine in every darkness. Not a happy ending. Includes my takes on Overlord and LotSB. Rated M for language and violence.

When the Long Night of Solace is evaporated over Reach via the weaponized usage of a Slipspace Drive, it ferries with it in its swallowed sections the Covenant Empire and, more horrifyingly, the desperate measures that the UNSC used to fight them. When they are found in a universe on the precipice of their own history, the meaning of the term "Mass Effect" will change forever.

I took a flying leap through the Veil of Death. Gonna' be honest, not the smartest thing I've ever done. OOC, fem!Harry, dark!Harry. Elemental and Black Magics. Femslash. Rated M for language, violence, and mature topics.

Hermione Granger was born a Parselmouth. She arrives at Hogwarts with less trust in authority (after all, muggle science somehow missed snake sentience), and a mission to prove snakes are people too. And Goblins. And Acromantulas. And… oh Merlin. Hogwarts isn't prepared for this, the Wizarding World isn't prepared for this, and Voldemort is *especially* not prepared for this.

Sheogorath finds the Dragonborn boring. So he decides to find a more amusing alternative. Hardcore Skyrim self-insert.

A "Director's Cut" of the ME epic, fleshing out who our heroes are and how they got that way. Slowly veering off to an AU: Leave no one on Virmire, Liara returns to Ilos to reboot Vigil, Shepard rescues Kenson w/ help from Thane and Kasumi, Aria gets executed, Legion knows TIM is indoctrinated and intends to fix him, but the Collectors have directed TIM to scuttle Normandy...

Two guys play Skyrim in first person mode. And also there's a dragonborn involved, but she does her own thing. Think of it as Skyrim, but not as railroaded due to videogame limitations.

Magically talented, Slytherin fem!Harry. Years 1-3 of Victoria Potter's adventures at Hogwarts, with a strong focus on magic, friendship, and boarding school life. Mostly canonical world but avoids rehash of canon plotlines. No bashing, no kid politicians, no 11-year-old romances. First Year complete as of chapter 12.

A mixed story/documentation piece describing much of the technology of the ME universe, including that which is only found in the Premiseverse. Some light language and a few morally questionable research descriptions. As with all my documentation type stories, this one is free to use by anyone who needs is.

The Draugr have invaded Skyrim led by Konahrik, who has awoken from slumber and seeks to exact revenge upon the bane of his master, while the Dragonborn has been missing for years. Follow as a Legionnaire leads a group of hopeless survivors to Solitude. A Legate is trapped inside a fort with his men, left to starve. And an everlasting search for the Dragonborn commences. (MostlyOC)

AU. Where fallen stars are after images, never meant to return. But there is debt to be paid to Commander Alenko. And so here Shepard is: in the limelight and in the clutches of the Reaper War. Set after ME 1 till the end of ME 2. Where Shepard isn't the Commander we know.

Harry is struck with the killing curse and wakes up the day of the Last Task. This story will be the Order of The Phoenix if Harry had been a bit wiser and Luna a more present character. No time Paradox and no godmoding. Slow build up.

Wherever she ends up, Taylor Hebert always seems to throw a wrench in things. Why would being resurrected and wielding the Light be any different? Or: in which Taylor ends up becoming the Queen's left hand and the Vanguard has no idea how to handle it.

Harry Potter had won the war, it had been bloody, brutal, and in the end almost entirely pointless. Despite his influence nothing changed in their secluded society and eventually he just stopped caring. With Hermione's blessing he eventually decides to perform a ritual that jumps universes, and somehow ends up the caretaker of a female version of himself. Chaos, of course, ensues.

Harry Potter despised being a celebrity and the drama it entailed, the only person he wanted to share this burden with was his twin sister Lillith who unfortunately is a vapid fool. He wishes on a falling star for his sister to be the equal he needs at the same time an affable Dark Lady from another dimension falls through the veil, be careful what you wish for. Sort of twincesty

Hermione realized it began with a sense of Impending Doom and finished with a battle outside her tent. The deciding line between staying and helping Robb Stark, or returning to her universe, is getting harder to see the longer she's in Westeros. But it's a decision that she has to make, or it's one that will be made for her. Part 1 & Part 2 complete! Part 3 coming in Oct 2019.

When Harry saves Hermione's life they end up in a different world and in the middle of another magical war - but at least they have each other.

Part 3 of The Arithmancer Series. Hermione won the war, but her career as the world's greatest arithmancer is just beginning. Now, she has places to go, spells to invent, and a family to start. Oh, and a whole lot of dementors to kill.

Cerberus's take on the SA. Follows the style of the the Cerberus Files for alien races, but this time going into the dark and ugly history of the Systems Alliance, changes in human culture, and details about the government, politics, and more, written by Minsta. Sort of my take on Renegade Reinterpretations, except more like 'bloodthirsty lunatic reinterpretations with an axe.'

Commander Garrus Vakarian is desperate to find anything that could help him and his crew in their desperate struggle against the Reapers, and his search has taken him to a long dead planet with a shattered sphere hanging over it. Patreon sponsored story.

Spartans never die, they say. When Jorge gave his life to save his home planet of Reach, he never imagined that he would survive. But now he finds himself neck deep in the troubles of another universe; he will do what he has been trained to do, what all Spartans do best: fight.

"Uldren Sov is mine." She said it on an impulse. She completed it with cold determination. She ended it with hot lead. She couldn't deal with the aftermath.

This started as a short story about how nerd weaponizes light. Now it is 'how quickly can we cover the entire Harry Potter series while adding progressively more technology and research into the mix.' Still a stupid story for the sake of stupid stories, though. Enjoy

The story of the Legacy Team in the First Contact War: Ahern, Kyle, Florez, Chu, and Saracino. A pre-ME1 quickfic covering some of the OCs from the main story as they go up against the Turian Hierarchy and then struggle to adapt to the changing lives they are forced into by surviving. M for violence and Ahern's mouth.

"I may be Dunmer, but I am the Dragonborn, and I will defend your people whether they like it or not." Expands on Skyrim. Features fleshed out characters, content from earlier games and apocrypha, alternate choices and consequences for actions. WARNING: Contains mature content, including sexual themes, violence, and in-depth examinations of lore.

AU. Petunia Evans might have been a squib but she was smart and stubborn. While Lily went to Hogwarts, Petunia went to a boarding school and later studied archaeology. Dr Evans ended up raiding tombs for Gringotts with the help of their Curse-Breakers and using her findings to advance her career as an archaeologist. And raising her unfortunately impressionable nephew.

Jane Shepard wears many labels. Survivor. Hero. Tiny. Fierce. Smart-mouth. Loyal. Mad woman. The truth, however, is never simple. Stopping Nihlus from leaving the Normandy alone, Shepard throws the galaxy down a rabbit hole that can only end in a dark and brutal war. AU canon-divergent. M for language, sex.

An ancient danger threatens the galaxy, unknown to all. A humanity which never discovered Prothean ruins, expanding through space on their own, emerges. Joined with the machines they created, hardened by war with a terrifying enemy, they read the writing on the wall. But will the galactic community already there listen to these newcomers, stirring up trouble everywhere they go?

These guardians, united by the light, fought under the same banner to secure the people's survival. Their history is long, their deeds are many, and so long as they walk the crowded streets of the city, the halls of the tower, and the untamed wildlands on this planet and beyond...we will be safe. This is their saga. NOTE: Styled as grimoire/lore entries

Mortal minds were not meant to see the splendor of the Hereafter before their time came, not even the Master of Death. After slaying Voldemort, Harry must find something to help him come to grips with his sojourn to the afterlife lest the temptation of the Veil win out...

Co-written with aDarkOne History, a single event, can alter so much, let alone two. The San'Shyum are no more. The Krogan Empire stands strong. Humanity is now a giant among the stars. With three Galactic Superpowers in play, will an encounter see a new Golden Age, or an Era of War? (Chapters 1-12 being rewritten)

Harry Potter is not standing up in his crib when the Killing Curse strikes him, and the cursed scar has far more terrible consequences. But some souls will not be broken by horrible circumstance. Some people won't let the world drag them down. Strong men rise from such beginnings, and powerful gifts can be gained in terrible curses. (HP/HG, Scientist!Harry)

Commander Shepard won her war, defeating the Reapers. But after saving her cycle from certain extinction by firing the Crucible, she dies. Only to awake reborn in a new time and place. With only vague memories of her past, no one to rely on but her Ghost and alien enemies around every corner, it will be a challenge to just survive.

In a hunt for raw materials for their people, Quarian explorers open a new mass relay. What awaits them on the other side is nothing they could have ever expected. Pre-Mass Effect 1, Post-Halo 4; AU only where necessary to mash two universes together and create something resembling a coherent storyline.

Attacked by Vex and sent to a place far away from the Traveler, the Warlock Odin must find a way to survive in a galaxy that is strange and unfamiliar. New servants of Darkness threaten him, but with his Light and his space magic he will find a way. Well, that and bullets. Lots and lots of bullets.

So a clandestine spy and a former FBI agent walk into a bar and...whoops, wrong index card. At any rate, navigating the growing complexities of friendship amid a high-stakes operation can be rough. Especially if one of them is a pathological liar with a wealth of emotional baggage and the other is experiencing metaphorical freezer burn in an unfamiliar world. (Deacon x F!SS)

Sequel to The Arithmancer. Years 5-7. Armed with a N.E.W.T. in Arithmancy after Voldemort's return, Hermione takes spellcrafting to new heights and must push the bounds of magic itself to help Harry defeat his enemy once and for all.

Where a girl finds true friends when she looks within. And where friends see what lies beneath the surface.

Aventus Aretino has left Dawnstar Sanctuary behind to train as a bard in Solitude. His new life brings with it new challenges and new difficulties-but also new opportunities. The Age of Assassins has begun. Set in the same continuity as Heiwako's stories including "Darkness Rises When Silence Dies" and "For the Future of Skyrim." Skyrim is copyright Bethesda. Review please!

Seven years after defeating Voldemort, Harry Potter has been raising his godson, Teddy Lupin with the help of Teddy's grandmother, Andromeda Tonks. What will happen when Fawkes the Phoenix pulls this happy, war-weary family back in time for a chance at a better future. Set before the breakout from Azkaban in OOTP. No paradox.*What We Lost* is the sister fic without time-travel.

Being petrified and having one's absurdly lucky best friend kill a big snake really gets a girl thinking. Where could they go from there? A midnight conversation leads to a promise to do better, regardless of breaking one, two, or a dozen laws along the way. With a definitely safe wand, allies expecting her to be the next dark lady, and a free summer, what is a girl to do?

Small snippets and one shots of some interesting moments, concepts and flashbacks in the long storyline of my AU OSaBC Series. Some hard language. Warning: possible glurge and angst, happy tears and fluff, and weaponized cuteness in the form of Wrex's son.

Seeing as he's her closest living relative who isn't her mother, a Malfoy, or a prisoner of Azkaban, seventh-year student Nymphadora Tonks takes first-year student Harry Potter under her wing.

A collection of Cerberus documents providing insight into alien history, biology, cultures and military forces of the hanar, drell, and vorcha. Tied into my alternative universe fics (Of Sheep and Battlechicken) and quite dark. Sort of my take on Renegade Reinterpretations, except more like 'bloodthirsty lunatic reinterpretations with an axe.' M for profanity.

AU. Shepard and Garrus in a relationship from the start with lots of romantic sparkles and sex! Garrus's POV, new conspiracies, new enemies and cameos from our favorite TV shows. Come for the smut and stay for the story. Someone said my summary "hides this incredible, magnificent story within", so see for yourself. Will update soon and will get finished.

A collection of Cerberus documents providing insight into alien history, biology, cultures and military forces of the batarians, quarians, and krogan. Tied into my alternative universe fics (Of Sheep and Battlechicken) and quite dark. Sort of my take on Renegade Reinterpretations, except more like 'bloodthirsty lunatic reinterpretations with an axe.' M for profanity.

After 200 years on ice, the sole survivor of Vault 111 has a lot of time to make up for. As her quest for answers leads her to Diamond City, how will a certain reporter impact on the search for her son and those who took him away from her? F-SS / Piper. FO4 spoilers obviously - but will deviate.

For Shepard, death is just another technicality (AU, Shakarian).

"What shall you name her?" Jamie asked softly. Cersei gave no sign that she heard him. She remained as she had been, silently gazing down at the babe held to her breast. Cersei's fingers played over the wisps of dark hair that graced her firstborn's head, while a strange expression fixed his sweet sister's features. Uncertain, Jaime hesitantly offered, "Alysanne, perhaps?"

Hermione was eight when she summoned her first demon. She was lonely. He asked what she wanted, and she said a friend to have tea parties with. It confused him a lot. But that wasn't going to stop him from striking a promising deal with the young witch. Dark!Hermione, Slytherin!Hermione, occult theme. Complete.

Thrown back together when the Reapers attack, Shepard and Kaidan are still very much in love, but they struggle to reconnect and bridge the distance that has grown between them. A romance that follows their journey through ME3 as they try to put their fears and inhibitions behind them and say those three little words to each other. (Femshep/Kaidan)

(Alternate Universe. Canon Divergence) Part One: The Railroad is on its last legs. Deacon puts his chips on a walking pre-war relic, and hopes she will be the ticket to get inside the Institute. Part Two: Nora brings a breath of fresh air to the isolated society. But not everyone tolerates her outsider view. Can she change the Institute, one scientist at a time?

The events of Fallout 4, but with the addition of a mailman and a vault dweller. Stop me if you've heard this one, a courier, a sole survivor and a lone wanderer walk into a bar...

Pull a thread and the tapestry unravels. A song of ice and fire from the very first note. All the difference a drunk, a dwarf and a dragonbone dagger might have made in the right order. An audacious attempt to weave something new from the same web G R R Martin has spun. Likely to be epic length, and to contain aspects of all genres. Will be written faster than Winds of Winter!

Some powers have history. Some powers should not be acquired. Some powers had a plan, should they ever fall. A Worm/Destiny cross that (hopefully) requires zero knowledge of Destiny.

A collection of Cerberus documents providing insight into alien black operations forces and the dark acts of their governments, and of some criminal groups. Sort of my take on Renegade Reinterpretations, except more like 'bloodthirsty lunatic reinterpretations with an axe.' M for profanity, images and ideas.

An in-universe summary of my AU version of Doctor Okeer. Please note this is HEAVILY AU and should not be taken as a canon resource. Nothing particular bad.

Massively AU. Halo/Mass Effect merged continuity. The galaxy, like much of the universe, is in a constant cycle of birth, destruction and rebirth. No guarantee our civilization is any different. We know others have come before us and perished at their height. What destroyed them? Could it destroy us as well? One human might be our savior, but he needs to grow up a bit first.

Shepard is fascinated by hypnosis and Garrus is curious. They decide to test the theory on him, and apparently it doesn't work on Turians. But he wants to prank her, so he pretends it works, intending to make her believe it went horribly wrong. But then, when she's sure she succeeded, she unexpectedly asks him for a hug...

Second-year sequel to Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality, where Harry deals with the aftermath of the previous year as well as new difficulties.

Spectre training was easy. Putting up with her turian teammate during their group lessons was less so. AU story with Shepard, Garrus, Jondum Bau, and as many characters from the Mass Effect universe as I can fit in. Romance/Humor/Adventure. Cameos by Mordin, Wrex, Kirrahe, Lorik Qui'in, Kasumi, Thane, Kenn, Tali, Grunt, Nihlus Kryik, and more.

Apocalypses have a strange way of inverting reality. The permanent collapses. The impossible thrives. Mothers become generals. Writers become agents. It's a strange place to discover love, but that's the magic of a world stripped clean of rules. All Samantha had to do was choose. [Piper x F!SS. Alternating views. Slow burn. Act II.]

Is it fanfiction? Is it a novelization? Is it just the disconnected and incoherent ramblings of a man who has finally taken leave of his senses? Yes. This is my attempt at telling a story of New Vegas, but with my own twist, with my character Sheason as The Courier. It's not really "the" story of New Vegas, but it uses the game's plot extensively.

As proposed by AlsoKnownAsMatt, this is a collection of full interviews conducted by Emily Wong with various in-story characters as events move along. Storyline and Emily doing some investigative reporting between interviews. Part of the Of Sheep and Battlechicken Premiseverse, so watch out for hard language and violence at times.

Shepard took the only path her conscience allowed: destroying the Reapers despite the terrible cost. Battered, beaten, nearly broken, the galaxy struggles to rebuild, but the dominoes aren't finished falling ... for the galaxy and for Shepard and Garrus. They thought destroying the Reapers would be the end, but some happy endings take more work to find than others. New chapters!

Major AU! DARKER! EDGIER! Gravity Falls/Dipper! Say goodbye to all the humor and cartoonish whimsy! The Dipper Pines that comes to this town isn't messing around! There's secrets to be found...Lives to be saved...Revenge to be had...Now a harem! IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!

Warning: Crackfic. What if someone hit the Premiseverse with a happy button, and Ahern was the Spectre that Shepard should have been? Will only make much sense if you are familar with the rest of my series. M mostly for language, and violence. Does not feature angst, conspiracies, or sanity, and it's Saren, Balak and Ahern against an enemy you will die laughing to behold.

There have been precious few moments in Piper's life where she has found herself thoroughly unable to come up with a single thing to say; most of them in recent memory and embarrassingly often around this particular woman. [f!SoSu x Piper, slowburn, spoilers, some divergence from canon, some violence/gore]

As envisioned by Aberron and LogicalPremise. This is a 'canon' write-up of the document, not specific to the Aberronverse or Premiseverse. The manifesto that spells out exactly why human supremacy in a galaxy of aliens is not racism or bigotry, but a survival imperative. There may be AU-specific follow-ups to the original text.

In the aftermath of a fierce battle, Quinn and Danse discover something small. Something precious. Something with sharp, deadly...okay, fine. It's a deathclaw.

Ten billion people over here die, so twenty billion over there can live. After the war, there are pieces to pick up, and lives to rebuild. And even with the Reapers gone, nothing is easy.

(Continuation of Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality by Less Wrong) Still reeling from Lucius' Death and Narcissa's rebirth, Draco struggles to find his place in a changing Hogwarts and learns a dark secret of his new room-mate: Harry James Potter-Evans-Verres.

Fem!Slytherin!Harry (Mary); realistic!Dursleys; consistent!Professors; mature!Snape; follows the books VERY closely, especially the first three chapters or so (but with 50% more snark). See first chapter for preface. Most chapters K-rated, T for language, several sections from Snape's perspective are T. Later books may be M-rated. McG first contact/guardian. PM for pdf.

Garrus isn't even sure whose side he's on anymore: trapped in the middle of her dangerous games. Mass Effect 2 with a renegade Shepard. Addictions/substance abuse/emotional manipulation/sexual content/Machiavellian power plays.

"Helgen is done for and I am calling a complete ceasefire as of this moment." Pacifism has the ironic tendency of throwing those who practice it directly into the line of fire. A SI story about walking the grey line between morality and destruction.

Harry escapes the Dursleys with a unique bout of accidental magic and eventually winds up at the Grangers' house. Now, he has what he always wanted: a loving family, and he'll need their help to take on the magical world and vanquish the dark lord who has pursued him from birth. Years 1-4. Sequel posted.

Westeros is drowning in blood while a relentless cold encroaches from the North. The Good Masters of Essos tremble beneath the shadow of the Last Dragonlord. Robb Stark and Daenerys Targaryen are burdened with powers that can topple gods; history will be theirs to write.

Sirius decides to stay in England after escaping Hogwarts and makes protecting Harry his priority. AU GOF.

Commander Erin Shepard, hero of the Reaper War, finds herself in a city from the past. But this city's past is not the same as the one in her history books, and its struggles are larger than anything she could have expected. Faced with a far shorter cycle of destruction, Shepard must once again find a way to break it.

James Vega had dreamed about Rennah Shepard for years and always hoped to meet her, but when he's tasked with keeping her safe on Earth he gets more than he bargained for; she's argumentative, stubborn and sexy as sin. Joining the crew of the Normandy, fighting the Reapers and falling in love was never part of the plan... (Vega/FemShep - Rated M for a reason)

Taylor died in the locker. In her guilt, Madison triggered instead and became a superhero, to make up for her mistakes. Seen first on spacebattles, archived here for easier reading and for other people to find.

Is a second chance enough? Instead of the Catalyst's choices, Shepard lucks into a cosmic loophole. Thrown back to the very start of her Spectre career, she has to try and save the galaxy again from the Reapers ... but does she really know what's coming? 2015 NaNoWriMo winner!

Humanity never developed FTL. The Prothean archives contained no technology, no Element Zero, just a warning. Isolated from the rest of the galaxy for two thousand years, restricted to their only system, how will humanity have changed when they first meet the Turians? AU, alternate history of humanity and First Contact.

Jane McKinnon was frozen against her will by Vault-Tec, the company she trusted to keep her family safe from the bombs. Instead, she woke up two hundred years later and found herself in a nightmare. To find the men who killed her husband and kidnapped her son, she must do things she never imagined to survive. But in fighting monsters, she must take care not to become one herself...

Just something I came up with while writing another piece. Don't read if you are faint of heart, or are playing review tag.ENTIRELY A CRACK and it earns the M rating.

Waking up over a hundred years in the future from cold sleep is...disorienting. Trying to survive in that future can really twist you in knots. Self Insert.

After five years she books the first flight off of Earth and finds herself in a battle of the wills with an ex-C-Sec officer mourning the loss of his best friend. Shakarian AU.

AU Setting. The Terminus is not a place for the weak or timid. It's a way of life as much as a destination or location. Two men with a shared past find themselves crossing paths once more in this harsh setting. Their run in turns into reflection on their lives, careers, and futures. Maybe you can't teach an old dog new tricks, but you can give him something to chew on.

It is 3805AD. The Systems Alliance has formed after leaving the Earth and Inner Sphere behind. How will this branch of humanity interact with the other galactic powers, and what happens when they find disturbing information left by an ancient race that suddenly and mysteriously disappeared?

A collection of Cerberus documents providing insight into alien history, biology, cultures and military forces of the asari, turians, and salarians.

Contains a timeline, character profiles, the important players and groups, and justifications for why things happen as they do later on in the series.

The only question that remains is if he will ever regret this path in life?

The sequel to Service. AU. Lauren Shepard and Kaidan Alenko have been on and off friends since they were teens at BAaT. Will serving together change their friendship? An ME1 novelization, straying from canon.

Now they must adapt to fight a foe who won't be seen for far longer than human history.

My answer to what the Reaper Cycles are really about. What if the Reapers weren't the pinnacle of evolution? What if they were the hiding spots of a post singularity culture that tampered with things best left alone? Now completed.
