    Bookmarker's Notes

    I think I’ve cried reading every single one of these. A very beautiful, poignant series of stories, that resonates so deeply. Reflections of identity, of personhood, of change, of regretting all these things and yet not. In a way, these reflect on abandonment, the politics of abandonment, the idea of redemption not by anyone else but the self. Among other themes, unravels the countless ways in which children are undoubtedly failed by the world they come from; explores how youth are refused on a systemic level selfhood, autonomy, choice, humanity, safety, freedom, and the path of an adult who, met with this injustice, broke and is coming back together, and comes to recognize that all the children of the world are ours. What are we beholden to as people? As adults? As living beings?

    Summary

    Cedric Diggory first meets You-Know-Who in 1994. Or was it in 1981?

    This much is certain – that Cedric Diggory first meets Thomas Moregrave in 1992.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    “But, Cedric realises as he thinks again, nobody ever asked Voldemort – Professor Moregrave – how he felt. Nobody asked Harry either. They were just two empty voids of people, one presumed dead and the other a toddler, and ideas got stuffed inside of their outlines. Cedric wonders if that’s what’s happened to him this year – if he, too, has become not real enough for everyone else. If he’s become too confusing. If he has ideas stuffed inside a void shaped like him, now, just like them – things like ‘beat Harry Potter at Quidditch’ (even though he didn’t) and ‘such a smart boy’ (even though he just works hard) and ‘never argues’ (even though he wishes he did, sometimes).

    Maybe he’s always had that void.”

    Summary

    Tom has a small problem. Judging by the way his breath catches in his chest as he stares down at the boy between his legs, it might be developing into a slightly larger one.

    So Tom concocts a plan.

    Step One: Get Harry to go to Hogsmeade with him. (Through force, if necessary.)
    Step Two: Convince him Tom is trustworthy.
    Step Three: Fuck him.

    He laments the effort this is going to take, the way he could use this time to continue networking at the Ministry for his eventual take-over, but he needs to get the other boy out of his system. Tom hopes that by seeing Harry in his most vulnerable state he’ll finally be able to stop thinking about him non-stop.

    Summary

    It's been over five years since Voldemort's defeat when Harry Potter gets pushed through a portal and falls into the Great Hall of Hogwarts. This wouldn't be a problem, exactly, except it's his parents' Hogwarts instead of his own. Thankfully, Hermione and Ron aren't about to let him face this newest form of trouble by himself. Even more fortunately, Hermione says they're in a different dimension entirely.

    Harry has a castle full of living ghosts, his best friends by his side, and three to six months to make just a few changes. Starting with a snake.
