Life-altering Choices

Summary:

Only a tiny detail changes the world of Harry Potter as we know it. Just one event and the life of the boy-who-lived takes a turn in the complete other direction. Follow Harry on his journey to a new life and a future the wizarding world hasn’t anticipated. The choices we make determine the person we are. Come and see which choices Harry makes and how they affect his life and the people around him.

Please mind the warnings. The tags and the rating are there for a reason. This story is not for the faint of heart.

Trigger-warnings will also be set in the AN at the beginning of every chapter, if you are unsure.

Edit: The "Underage"-tag was added, as it occured to me, that though all sexual participants are above the age of consent, not all of them are over eighteen. All are at least sixteen.

Chapter Text

Summary

 

Only a tiny detail changes the world of Harry Potter as we know it. Just one event and the life of the boy-who-lived takes a turn in the complete other direction. Follow Harry on his journey to a new life and a future the wizarding world hasn’t anticipated. The choices we make determine the person we are. Come and see which choices Harry makes and how they affect his life and the people around him.

 

Please mind the warnings. The tags and the rating are there for a reason. This story is not for the faint of heart.

 

The story is already completely written and will be updated twice a week. It is part of a series but it can stand alone. The first sequel is already complete too, the second part/book is at least outlined, but still needs writing, the third and last book is still in the planning stage. Kudos and comments are greatly encouraged. I’d love to hear your opinion but please mind common curtesy and be nice. Factual criticism is also welcome as long as it doesn’t decent into trolling. English isn’t my first language, so please point out grammar and spelling errors if they occur repeatedly. The story isn’t beta read as such, but I had my best friend read over it to find errors in logic and the most obvious typos.

 

This story contains no real pairing but it has a lot of hetero as well as homosexual and bisexual interactions and intercourse. Though it has BDSM elements this is not a BDSM story as it is non-con. So, again, mind the tags and point missing tags out. I will add them then. It may happen, that I note missing tags and add them on myself, so please check before you read new chapters.

 

Disclaimer:

I’ll write this only once. The world of Harry Potter belongs to J.K. Rowling, I just borrow her characters and play with them to my amusement. I don’t make money with my writing. This is pure fan-work from a fan for fans and just for fun.

I do claim the storyline itself, though inspired by various works, it’s my interpretation of how the story could’ve continued after my entrance point. If I quote directly, I’ll mark it accordingly and link to the sites I quote from.

I’m well aware, that not everything is exactly new, but as I have no way of knowing, if an idea has already been written down, I apologize in advance, if someone wrote it before me. I did try to be not extremely clichéd and to leave my characters as much in character as I could. My Harry is ooc and he isn’t Mr. Nice-guy. Just as a warning.

If you’d like to translate this story into another language, please ask and link to this. Thanks.

PLEASE DON’T COPY TO ANOTHER SITE. Thank you.

And now, this is quite enough from me. Let’s start with the story. Enjoy.
