Summary
As a young woman, Hope Howell marries a wizard and chooses to live as a relatively powerless Muggle in a world of magic. Several years later, her life changes forever when her son is attacked by a werewolf. Her journey in the wizarding world gradually evolves from whimsical fantasy to bittersweet reality. Hope describes the joys and challenges she faced: blood prejudice, violence, marital strife, illness, and, of course, raising a little boy named Remus.
Pottermore and canon-compliant.

Summary
"Oh, James..." she sighed. "You're a terminal optimist."
"Why shouldn't I be?" he asked, and nodded towards the wild Scottish landscape before them. "Look where we are. And what we've got. Less than one ten thousandth of the population has magical abilities, and we're in it."
***
January of '78. Lily wins a battle, and James wins a war. -

Summary
Two characters negotiate terms in the wee hours of the night, never to meet again: a father still paying for a single, life-altering mistake, and an alienated teenage boy, on the verge of making his own. When Lyall Lupin makes a personal appeal on behalf of his son, Severus Snape wants more than gratitude in exchange for his silence.
A story about the conversation that—almost—redeemed them both.

Summary
"The sorrow birds find what is weak, my chest, beak-marked, my eyes long gone." - Ann V. Devilbiss
Lily Potter is dead.
No.
Lily Potter should be dead.
The cheerful little owl clock on top of the dresser hesitates, then ticks onward. The baby in the crib sucks in another eager breath, and wails anew. The dead girl on the floor- the should be dead girl on the floor- opens her eyes.
(Lily lives, but sometimes wishes she hadn’t.)
