Summary
It’s 1981, and the walls are closing in. There is a spy in the Order. Lily, James, and infant Harry Potter are in hiding but not safe under Fidelius yet. Severus Snape is not a trusted enough Death Eater to pass on crucial information, and Dumbledore still doubts Snape's loyalty. Peter Pettigrew is chewing at the walls where no one can see. And poison persists in the blood.

Summary
If Harry Potter could alter the past, he isn't sure what he'd change, but he knows he'd change something. If Severus Snape could hold history in his hands, he knows exactly what shape he would mold it into. Albus Dumbledore might flatter himself enough to think he would walk away from such power.
But Delphi Riddle isn't here to serve any of them.
(Rating for some really prolific cursing and very little else.)

Summary
“The scar is small, at least,” Pomfrey says, pulling the bandage snug around the cleaned wound. There’s a pity in her voice that makes Severus want to throw up again. “It will be easily covered.”
Dumbledore catches him inspecting it, as if mesmerized. “You are lucky to have survived at all,” the Headmaster says.
Severus does not say I don’t feel very lucky because it is stupid and obvious. Instead, he says unsteadily, “I want to press charges, sir.”
Pomfrey stills, tightening the bandage to the point of discomfort.
“Remus Lupin would be executed,” Dumbledore says. “The Ministry takes a dim view of werewolves who infect other wizards.”

Star Wars, Episode IIa- The Balanced Force by Cassie_Citrine

Summary
This is an alternate narrative to Episode II: Attack of the Clones. It begins around the same time in prequel continuity, but it is centered on Padmé and has an entirely different plot. You can assume that Episode I more or less happened as written (with a few notable exceptions that will be explained in the story) and that everything from A New Hope on is still cannon. Otherwise, forget everything you know about Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith.

Summary
Some stars, if observed repeatedly over time, show a perturbation or wobble in their proper motion. If this is a periodic occurrence we can infer that the perturbation occurs due to the gravitational influence of an unseen companion.

She’d fought tooth and nail to deny him his dying wish – just to die, rather than to rot away in a cell, alone, cut off from the Force, haunted by ghosts, eaten alive with guilt, and, judging from her apparent predilection for sadism, tormented by her.He’d underestimated the scavenger girl.

Summary
'You're a wizard, Harry' is easier to hear from a half-giant when you're eleven, rather than from some kids on a tube platform when you're seventeen and late for work.
