Canon-divergence Stories

Harry Potter doesn't grow up starved in a cupboard-he grows up in Hawthorn House, a loud, imperfect group home where survival comes from routines, sharp eyes, and the kind of stubborn love that refuses to let you be forgotten. Serenity "Seri" Jones claims him when he's still a toddler, and over the years she teaches him how to breathe through panic, name what he feels, and hold steady when his accidental magic surges. Their bond becomes something older than paperwork-an adoption-like magic that doesn't read minds, but knows when the other is spiraling and draws a fierce line in the world: mine / safe. So when Hogwarts letters arrive with stalking precision, Harry doesn't run toward wonder-he and Seri treat it like a threat. McGonagall shows up expecting a neglected child and finds a kid with backbone and a teenage guardian who asks the questions adults avoid. The real turning point comes at Gringotts: Harry has no vault key, so goblin bureaucracy demands identity verification and a new one-along with a warning that someone has been managing his life from a distance. Seri is nudged into her own lineage test, and the result detonates a secret no one saw coming. By the time they reach Platform Nine and Three-Quarters, Harry steps onto the train not as a lonely boy desperate to belong, but as someone who's already had family-and who intends to choose his alliances carefully. Hogwarts is magnificent, dangerous, and full of people who assume they know his story. Harry's rewrite begins the moment he refuses to let anyone else write the ending.

Hayakawa Rin never asked to be chosen. One moment, she was an ordinary woman living an ordinary life. The next, she awakened in a world where curses walk in daylight - and a strange "system" whispered only one command: Exorcise. Evolve. Ascend. Reborn years before the rise of Tokyo Jujutsu High's strongest generation, Rin grows up beside her quiet, sharp-eyed neighbor-Geto Suguru. Together, they enter Jujutsu High. Together, they survive the Star Plasma Vessel mission. Together, they stand at the peak of their era. Armed with a shikigami-type Cursed Technique known as Fox Devil, Hayakawa Rin rose to Special Grade - a sorcerer who had never known defeat. Until the day she disappears without a trace. *** When she awakens, she is no longer human - but a fox, cradled in the arms of a defected Geto Suguru in a world that was never hers. Ten years too late. A world without her has already begun to rot. This time, she refuses to let it fall. Even if it means rewriting fate itself.

Petunia was born at dawn, when the sky was the perfect blend of golden and purplish hue. Her twin, Lily, was not so lucky.

Ash's stomach flutters nervously. He peers up at Ten from beneath the dark frame of his eyelashes, his maroon eyes glistening slightly. "You're being a little possessive right now." "I don't get possessive," Ten scoffs, zipping the hoodie all the way to the very top. "I get territorial." "I'm not yours," Ash asserts, partly to provoke a response. His heart quickens as Ten tilts his head, a gesture reminiscent of a Murkrow. His green eyes are impossibly dark, gaze lowering after a moment as he smiles, the corners not quite reaching his eyes. "Everyone else seems to think so," he says. Or: a story of pining told through many years, regions, the occasional ketchup mishap and the weight of an arcanine tackle. NOW WITH ART! <3

At fifteen, Harry's war-torn adolescence finally concluded, packing years of magical upheaval into a short timeframe. Though hailed as a savior, Harry's true priority lies with his godson, Teddy, who lovingly calls him "Daddy." Driven by a desire for freedom and a normal upbringing for Teddy, Harry takes them to New York. His unexpected biological father, Tony Stark, lives there - not that Harry seeks a bond for himself, but he can't pass up the chance for Teddy to have more family. If Tony Stark isn't interested, Harry's prepared to walk away; they'll be just fine settling into their Potter townhouse in Queens. P.S. Your comments and reviews are truly appreciated!

[Arknights x Male Reader story] "There is always light, even in the darkest of places. Extend your hand and march forward, for you see over the horizon, the light that brings forth hope." A helping hand in need is all that he is. A man with no identity. A human who simply goes by facing many different challenges and events every day. Some similar and some different. He also has the luck of attracting a lot of unwanted attention. Did he mention that he's not normal in terms of Terra standards? He's just your average Earthling who died and got reincarnated into the world of Terra.

Through transmigration, Naohara became one of the Supreme Beings and freely indulged in this hard-won life in another world. Watching Momonga locked in a battle of wits with thin air, Herohero shamelessly slacking off, Demiurge confidently claiming he had already grasped the thoughts of all three Supreme Beings, along with the many strange and eccentric Floor Guardians, Naohara felt that joy could be found everywhere.

𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐚 𝐀𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐰𝐚 doesn't do feelings, doesn't do family, and he definitely doesn't do babies. But when a newborn shows up with his name on a note, suddenly he's doing all of them. Between all the pain and confusion, he knew one thing for sure; he'd do anything to build a happy, safe future for her...because she was his tether, the reason he's still here, still trying, still fighting so hard for a better world so she wouldn't. And he would do anything to prevent her from feeling the danger he had gotten used to feeling.

For a thousand years, the world has worshipped the legend of the Mikaelsons-Freya, Finn, Elijah, Klaus, Kol, and Rebekah. The first vampires. The first hybrid. The family bound by Always and Forever. But legends are curated. Legends hide the wounds that never healed. Estella Mikaelson-Kol's twin sister and the first and only Original Heretic-was erased from the story long before history was written. Born a siphoner and turned by Esther and Mikael, Estella became something impossible, something feared... and something her family never truly embraced. She and Kol were the outliers, the forgotten pair who never felt included in the vow meant to bind them all. Daggered again and again, silenced for centuries, their last imprisonment came in 1919. But magic has loopholes. When Estella siphoned the dagger's spell and woke alone, she didn't free the others. She freed Kol-and together they vanished into the night, letting their family believe they still slept in their coffins. A century later, in a small town called Mystic Falls, Klaus Mikaelson seeks to reunite his fractured family. He opens the coffins expecting to reclaim the siblings he lost. Instead, he finds two of them empty. Kol and Estella have been awake. Alive. Free. And the truth of their abandonment is about to shatter the legend of Always and Forever.

Everything in Hank's life had always seemed pretty normal. She had a good home life, played football with the other kids, and had two close friends - even if one of them lived in a scrapyard with his dad. But when a chance encounter puts Hank face-to-face with something she can't explain, it leads her to realize that the world around her isn't as ordinary as she thought. And it's only the beginning. Before long, she finds herself pulled into something far bigger than she ever could have imagined. (Disclaimer: I don't own Transformers. This is a fan-made story.)

This is a HarryxOc story, however, I'm also a fan of Ginny, I hope HarryxGinny fans can understand. The story is in first person to connect you with the character's thoughts and emotions - not because the author is delusional. And then, enjoy it!!! LOVE U!!!

Winter is no longer coming. It is here. The dead stir beyond the Wall. Old gods whisper in the snow. Kingdoms fracture under the weight of fear, pride, and forgotten promises. As the Long Night begins anew, familiar names are tested by an ancient darkness that does not care for crowns, banners, or prophecy. Wolves must remember who they are. Dragons must face a cold they cannot burn away. This is not a tale of heroes. It is a tale of endurance. Winter Is Here is a canon divergent retelling of the Long Night-darker, deeper, and truer to the cost of survival. Because when winter comes... no one is spared.

Morax once had a twin sister, but she disappeared after the cataclysm, along with her little Adeptus.

Where had she gone? And why hadn't she returned?
