⸻ [ " EVERYBODY'S FALING IN LOVE & I'M FALLING BEHIND " . ]
- [ forsaken x gn!reader . ]
You were human, once in a lifetime ago, though that life feels more like a watercolor memory now. If there was ever something you regretted, it was not living for yourself. 'Matchmaker,' they called you, having a strange ability to pair any two people up, no matter how incompatible they seemed. Yet, who were you outside of that? You weren't in any clubs, didn't have any hobbies. You should have cared for yourself more, rather than having been busy caring for others. It's only until a painless death takes you away from all you knew that you realize, you wanted to fall in love too.
A second chance, that's what you were given. A gift from the 'Goddess of Love' Herself, to be reborn, remade. No longer can you age, but neither can you fall in love. Still, hope is not lost, didn't you know? A deal, a promise, to any and every cupid out there, including you. One day, you will fall in love, but you must kindle and rekindle the hearts of others before then. Cupid's of the past used bows and arrows; however, in this modern day and age, a new way has been found to speed up the process.
Even with grenades and guns, it's not an easy task still, if anything, it's gotten harder. Not to mention, for one reason or the other, you've been sent to a purgatory where no one can reach you, not even the Goddess that gave you the gift Herself. Chased down by killers and being murdered over and over, you have to deal with the inner workings of the complicated relationships of your teammates on the side. Whatever will you do, little cupid?
In the final moment before her destruction, Wanda Maximoff " the Scarlet Witch " is pulled into a void beyond time or form. Lost in the abyss of her guilt, a mysterious light touches her... and brings her back. Not to her world, but to another. One where magic is different. Where redemption might take shape: the world of Harry Potter.
When a luminous figure " a doe " shows her the memories of a boy abandoned and mistreated by his relatives, Wanda understands her new purpose: to protect Lily Potter's son. Though she doesn't know why she was chosen, she accepts the deal. In exchange for a chance at redemption, she will care for little Harry.
But Wanda is no ordinary witch. And this world is not ready for her. From the very first moment on Privet Drive, the Dursleys will feel that something has changed.
With power, resolve, and growing compassion, Wanda will face a new destiny. Because this time... no one will touch the boy without facing her.
After all, who better to protect the Boy Who Lived... than the Scarlet Witch herself?
Author's Disclaimer:
This story is loosely inspired by the initial premise of Strange Potter, a work I greatly admire and that served as a creative spark for developing this project. Although the plot, character development, and events are entirely original and distinct, I believe it's only fair to acknowledge that initial influence.
Likewise, this is a non-profit fanfic that blends elements from the Marvel and Harry Potter universes, whose rights belong to their respective creators and owners (Marvel/Disney and J.K. Rowling). This work is made with respect and with the intention of paying tribute to these worlds that so many of us have enjoyed.
