So below is the current story timeline and then all of the things that I have in mind. There are my small notes for some dates that you all might find amusing. This is not everything planned, but these are the concrete things that I know still need to happen. As you can tell the farther into the year it goes, the less concrete my ideas become. But as you can all see, I still have a whole lot more of this story to write. It's a bit daunting. I hope you all continue to stick around for the ride. Might be some spoilers for future chapters and ideas but oh well. Also, after the timeline, I have a list of stories that I particularly enjoy in response to a request I got a long time ago and realized it would be fun to post.

Now, as I said at the beginning, someone asked me a while ago what my favorite Dark Harry, Harry/Voldie, and Dark Trio stories were. So I'll include a list of the ones that I find particularly enjoyable whether they are harry/voldie or Dark trio or both. (sadly there is not a lot of both) (I think there is 15) You don't have to read any of these and you can bypass the whole bottom of this post if you so wish but I enjoy these stories and writers and I want others to as well.

before they convinced you life was war by EclipseWing- not completed (I'm desperately waiting for more) so good. harry/voldie, grey dark harry. mutants instead of magic. on the fence Golden Trio

that one mutant romance by rayfelle - a series of harry/voldie. not really dark harry but done with people. mutants instead of magic.

Earning His Notice by Lomonaaren - a series. harry/voldie. time travel. super good. a lot of their work is really good.

Evitative by Vichan - I think this is becoming a series. Dark Magic Harry but morally grey. On the fence Golden Trio. Goes into Dark Magic and rituals and stuff.

Dripping Fingers by May_May_O_O - the descriptions in this are amazing. harry/voldie. artist!harry, currently being updated.

(I read bits of those top 5 repeatedly.)

His Darkest Devotion by Lomonaaren - (see told you I liked a lot of this persons stuff) harry/voldie. soulmates. harry isn't dark but from what I remember Voldie is

Bonded One by Stephke23 - completed. harry/voldie. dark voldie. time travel.

Your Name On My Heart by whitedandelions - I think this is completed. harry/voldie. darkish harry. soulmates.

Wear Me Like a Locket Around Your Throat by VivyPotter - I don't think this is done yet. time travel again. harry/voldie.

Love's Loathing by The Fictionist - completed. harry/voldie. trio and group time travel.

The Historical Importance of Runic War Warding in the British Isles by samvelg - female harry and necromancy and lots of ancient runes.

Children of the Dark by cleotheo - this is a commitment. All seven years in full-length books. Dark Harry and Dark Hermione. grandpa/dad voldie.

Eyes, Bodies, and Potions by MadHatter - a series. not finished yet Dark Trio.

Chaos, Imperium, Scientiae by StardustGay - not finished yet. Dark Trio. Harry/Voldie. the trio Time Travels. super good so far.

Young Princes by Little Miss Xanda - not completed but of course the story that sparked the original inspiration of this story.

I think that's all that really stick out to me. Let me know if you have read any of these already or if they are new. Also, if you have one that you super love let me know. I'm always up for new material and inspiration.
