    Summary

    On temporary hiatus. I'm still writing it and it will be finished but life has a way of fucking us all.

    When Voldemort kills Harry, the Horcrux dies instead. Instead of returning to the battle of Hogwarts, Harry is sent back to 1971. With Voldemort's first rise to power underway but still a secret, how will Harry figure out a way to stop him?

    Bellatrix Black, a seventh year at Hogwarts in 1971, knows that Harry Potter has secrets. A lot of them. She's determined to discover them all, even if he's not willing to share.

    The premise is simple, what if Harry had the opportunity to meet Bellatrix before she joined up with Voldemort. How would they each change each other's lives?

    All events in the books up until Harry's death in the Deathly Hallows are canon when it diverges.

    Heavy emphasis on the dark arts, pureblood politics and breaking down prejudice, as well as frequent appearances by the Black family.

    Slow burn.

    Note:
    Time travel happens only once, Harry does not return to the future and nobody else comes to the past.
    While Harry is stronger than in canon, he's not overpowered or godlike.
    Bellatrix is born a few years later in this to make it all work.

    Summary

    Jon Snow chose his blood over his vows, standing at his brother’s side instead of taking the black.
    When war swept through Westeros, it was not the dragon nor the stag who turned the tide — but the white wolf and the young wolf king.
    Victory, however, breeds new enemies: betrayal festers from old friends, and storms rise from the sea and the south alike.
    As the North and Riverlands wrestle with the cost of war, the last trueborn wolves must decide whether to defend the past... or forge a new future, in blood and fire.

    Summary

    The history of the Global Wizarding War is a settled matter, a nursery tale of good versus evil. But in 1981, ambitious historian Beatrice Vance is granted an unprecedented opportunity: to interview the war's most enigmatic and terrifying figure, the man the world remembers only as "The Raven."

    From his cell in Nurmengard, Henry Potter agrees to tell his story. It is a tale of a love so fierce it became a weapon, of a trauma that twisted a protector into a tyrant, and of a grand, logical, and horrifying philosophy built "For the Greater Good."

    As Beatrice records the testimony of the man who helped bring a world to its knees, the monster of the history books begins to fade. In the quiet of Nurmengard's most secure cell, the lines between truth and justification blur, and she must fight to remember the warnings of the outside world before the story she came to capture, captures her instead.

    He was dreaming dreams that felt so real he couldn't tell the difference between dreams and reality...

    This was a dream, right?

    Or in which he is reborn as Luke Skywalker.

    Alternatively, in which Luke Skywalker remembers his past life.
