    There will be no set update schedule. These stories will appear when the time feels right, as quiet interludes in the wider saga of The Shadow War Chronicles.

    Summary

    Everyone on Whale Island knew the Freecss twins.

    Gon was bright, fearless, and impossible to stop.

    His twin brother was sleepy, strange, terrifyingly intelligent... and always somehow ten steps ahead.

    When the twins leave their island to become Hunters, the world begins changing around them without realizing it.

    Because some monsters roar.

    Others smile softly, drink tea, and quietly understand too much.

    Summary

    [ 取るな ]
    toru na

    Luna had always lived by two straightforward tenets to validate her existence: 'be grateful' and 'be useful'.

    Born with a naturally 'weak' constitution, at the age of a handful of days, Tolluna Zoldyck deemed herself a 'failure' since birth. (She even failed to die.) Before she hits the double digits, she hopes to take that back at any cost. If there was one thing she'd thank, it'd be Togashi's amazing power system; Nen had so much potential, and she was going to scope out all of it.

     

    (or, the Zoldyck Family doesn't know what to think of their only daughter and her scarily wise eyes, but her relentless determination to prove herself is definitely something admirable. If only she herself could see it.)

    SI/OC as the sixth, youngest, and first female child of the infamous Zoldyck Family.
    SI/OC who bullshits the hell out of the Nen system (as she should).

    Summary

    When Elara Grey rescued a young Harry Potter from the Dursleys, she never intended to become a shadow in the Ministry’s blind spots or a quiet force moving against the currents of wizarding politics. Now, years later, Elara’s careful world begins to unravel as a dangerous escape from Azkaban triggers a chain of events that pull her past into the present.

    Harry faces his third year at Hogwarts unaware of the true stakes building around him. Secrets coil beneath the surface. Ancient magic stirs. The Ministry fractures. And something far older than the war begins to shift, watching those who wander too close to it.

    As old enemies resurface and hidden alliances tighten around her, Elara is forced to confront the parts of herself she has buried deep. Every choice she makes will protect the people she loves or destroy the fragile peace they have built together.

    Some shadows follow you. Others are forged by your own hands.

    This is the third installment of The Shadow War Chronicles.

    Summary

    Some fates should never be left in the hands of men like Dumbledore.

    A boy runs, barefoot and desperate, fleeing the only home he’s ever known. A woman watches, sharp-eyed and furious, as she recognizes what no one else has seen, or what they’ve chosen to ignore.

    When Elara Grey takes Harry Potter from Privet Drive, she doesn’t just rescue a child, she shatters a carefully laid plan.

    Fleeing England, Elara and Harry find themselves in Paris, where the Flamels introduce them to a world far greater than the one they left behind. No longer just The Boy Who Lived, Harry thrives under the guidance of alchemists, scholars, and warriors. Meanwhile, Elara builds a war chest of knowledge, allies, and power.

    But all shadows must return to the light.

    When they return to England, Hogwarts awaits, as does Dumbledore, the Ministry, and forces both known and hidden. They expect the same lost boy they left behind.

    They are not prepared for the boy who returns, or the woman who will burn their world to the ground before she lets them take him.

    She stole him once. She will never let them have him again

    Summary

    Two, perhaps nearly three, years after the fall of Lord Voldemort, the wizarding world begins to heal. But deep in the shadows, Bellatrix Lestrange still burns with the need to prove her loyalty to her vanished master. When fate places young Harry Potter in her path on a cold, storm-lashed night, she prepares to strike the ultimate blow of revenge.
    And yet… she doesn’t.

    In a single moment of clarity, Bellatrix sees not the Boy Who Lived, not the symbol of her master’s downfall, but a child, bruised and neglected, cast away by the very world that claims to worship him. Driven by a twisted blend of vengeance, obsession, and something achingly close to maternal yearning, she steals him from the Muggles’ grasp, determined to shape him into something greater. Her own dark legacy.

    As Harry grows under Bellatrix’s fierce and fractured care, molded by the shadows instead of the light, questions begin to stir within him. Who is he really? Savior or weapon? Pawn or player? As the years pass and Hogwarts looms on the horizon, the world teeters unknowingly on the edge of a future rewritten.

    One boy. One woman. One night that changed everything.

    Summary

    Any work at sea was dangerous because of the merfolk and you had learned early to be wary, to watch the water and the fish and to react fast the second something felt even a smidgeon off to you. You had no desire to get attacked again, to add to the scars you already carried on your body.

    Mers were monsters in your opinion and the less you had to do with them the better - right up until the day you met one of the most dangerous mers of your life. A siren with eyes bluer than the sky and sea combined and hair the color of shimmering frost. Where others saw a divinely beautiful creature all you saw was death smiling back at you.

    Summary

    You knew that hybrids were popular, if expensive, companions, but having one had never been on your radar. You simply were too busy, though, after the death of your parents nearly a year ago, you hadn't even realized how lonely you had become, despite your friends making time for you as often as they could.

    And then, one unexpected happenstance later, you ended up with one of the most intimidating hybrids ever living in your place, along with his little son.

    Well, your life was not going to be lonely any longer, that was for sure.

    Summary

    You were a professional treasure diver, a dangerous occupation that paid incredibly well but meant you regularly risked your life. You were good at your job. You were good at slipping past merfolk unnoticed and retrieving lost things from sunken ships.

    You were always careful, for only amateurs or morons allowed themselves to get cocky. And yet, none of that could have prepared you for a pod deadlier than any others you had heard of or for the don of the pod, an imposing mer with red eyes that followed you into your dreams. Nor did it prepare you for all that followed when you set foot into a warehouse to see a mer squished into a too small tank.

    Summary

    Maeve Macmillan liked to write.

    It didn't matter if it was writing her thoughts in her diary, short stories in a journal, articles for newspapers, essays for homework, letters to her parents, simple reminders on her hand, quotes on parchment to stick on the walls of her room or even the small notes that she would write anonymously to the boy with the horrific scars and kindest words, the boy with the brightest smile and saddest eyes or to the boy who was so desperately trying to prove that he was strong.

    Sometimes, it was completely okay to not be okay, and it was comforting to know that somebody somewhere not only paid attention to you, but was also rooting for you (in a non-creepy, stalker-ish way, of course).

    Maeve was completely fine with being anonymous. In fact, she preferred it.

    Which was why she was practically horrified to hear that the Marauders were looking hard and wide for the person who had been leaving them and everybody else these notes for the past seven years that had gotten them through thick and thin.

    Summary

    Post‑war life was supposed to be easier. Fred Weasley survived — mostly intact — only to find himself stuck in the Ministry’s shiny new “Reproductive Compatibility Programme.” It’s mandatory, humiliating, and comes with questions no stranger should ever ask with a straight face.

    All Fred wants is to get through the process with his dignity intact. Instead, he gets the least romantic wedding in Wizarding history, and to a Lestrange, no less.

    Summary

    “You’re clinging to a corpse, Violet,” Draco said softly. “The Order’s dying and here you are, still bleeding in the dark for a side that doesn’t even realise you exist. How many more pieces of yourself are you willing to give before there’s nothing left?”

    “I have no other choice but to fight, Draco.”

    The wind tugged at his cloak, still draped over her shoulders. It smelt like him, clove and firewhisky.

    “You never did know when to walk away from a lost cause.” He sighed. “Not then. Not now.”

    ***

    Violet Potter couldn’t be more different from her famous brother. Scarred by cruelty at the Dursleys, she learned early that survival had a cost.

    Three years after Dumbledore’s death, the Order of the Phoenix is crumbling. To most, she’s just the potions master, hidden in Grimmauld Place. To Mad-Eye, she’s the order’s most valuable weapon.

    When a mission goes wrong and she is captured with a dragon egg in her grasp, Violet is forced into a blood bond with the Dark Watcher, Voldemort’s feared enforcer. Caught in a web of propaganda and lies, Violet must decide who she’s willing to become to survive this war🕷️
