Tom Riddle began working at Borgin and Burkes directly after graduating with the full intent of gaining more knowledge and having free rein to practice his darker interest. However, when Chiara Romano walks into the antique shop asking for a job he finds himself thrown slightly askew from his agenda. COMPLETED [Tom Riddle/Original Female Character]

~I think of how the mystics read by the light of their own bodies. What a world of darkness that must have been to read by the flaming hearts that turn into heaps of ash on the altar, how everything, in the end, is made equal by the wind.~ Daenys Velaryon lives only for others, yet within her heart, she harbours a whisper of selfish desire. She has dedicated her life to her brothers, becoming their staunch advocate, their steadfast defender, their eldest sister, entwined with their destinies. What purpose, she wonders, could she have if not in their service? Yet, in the quiet moments, when shadows soften the world, she dreams of a life unfettered, free from the heavy chains of duty and sacrifice. She does not covet the Iron Throne, nor does she wish to spill her blood for its cold, unyielding promise. However, to forsake her responsibilities and thrust them upon her brothers would make them a target of the realm's violence, defying the very essence of her being. For Daenys is nothing if not their protector, the guardian of their fate, even as she longs for a destiny of her own. **Prequel to An Eye for an Eye **Book 1/2 Rankings - #1 in houseofthedragon (2/7/2024) - #1 in aemondtargaryen (19/6/2024) - #1 in aemond (29/6/2024)

~Judas did this for him, but his soul still howls / his mouth still aches~ Daenys Velaryon no longer knew the difference between sacrifice and self-slaughter, nor where the violence against oneself ended. A Kinslayer, a rabid dog; such creatures had no use in a world of peace. Such creatures did not deserve peace. She was a tall child with no lap to crawl into, for who would wish to hold a thing like her, shame clotting in her blood like a curdling sickness. She, with the incessant need to apologize to everyone who ever knew her, for the inconvenience she caused them by making her existence known, walking into a room and searching for an empty seat so no one had to go through the painful act of sitting with her. Velaryons were supposed to be of the sea, but she was a burning ship, a vicinity one had to always flee. If anyone deserved to extinguish themselves in a kamikaze blaze, it was her, the one who would be missed least of all, who was needed least of all when the realm finally knew peace. © ace_asterisk **Sequel to Before the Sky Falls **Book 2/2 |Ambys 2024 Fanfiction Favorite Top Pick | Most impressive rankings: - #1 in houseofthedragon (2/6/2024) - #1 in aemondtargaryen (12/6/2024) - #1 in Aegon (26/7/2024) - #1 in aemondxoc (15/7/2024)

"Do all women in Highgarden run their mouths as you do?" Aemond sneered. "Do all princes have the attitude of a moody child?" Aemond Targaryen. How could something so beautiful present itself so cruelly?

Sirius stared at Lily. "I suppose this means everything is going to change, doesn't it?" Lily smiled. "Yes," she said. "I suppose it does." -------------- The Marauders will always be there for one another, through the hardest times - and through good times as well. The times they are a chagin' - but the love the Marauders have for one another... well. That will always be the same. Won't it?

In this, the THIRD BOOK of The Marauders Order of the Phoenix, the war seems far away as the Marauders continue to grow-up, try to recover from the losses they've suffered, and the ones they know are yet come...

James works on becoming a Quidditch Trainer while Lily's Magique Amour grows ever stronger. Peter has made some new friends with familiar faces, similar grudges, and questionable morals... Meanwhile, in decades apart, similar stories are weaving through the lives of our precious Wolfstar as Sirius and Remus spend a pair of turbulent summers. Sirius is on the run from the Ministry's prying eyes while Remus is busy making art, music... and maybe even a little bit of love.

The times they are a-changin'... as James and Lily Potter move into their new home in Godric's Hollow, the Marauders are living apart for the first time since they were ickle firsties! And there's certainly an adjustment period to that... Not to mention this pesky Voldemort business - Regulus on the run from the Dark Lord, even as he searches for the answer to his burning question of what the bloody hell a horcrux is? Then there's the small matter of James Potter's resignation from the Ministry... Meanwhile, in 1993 - or 1994 the New Year turns over, Remus begins his work with James (no, not James - Harry!)in producing a patronus to protect against the dementors on the grounds at Hogwarts... And Sirius Black says that he isn't there to kill Harry and that things aren't what Remus has come to believe... But can Remus trust the old dog - even with his own broken heart?

Join the Marauders for their final months at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as they fight for their friends and family, revise for their NEWTS, and make the crossing into the next chapter of their lives.
