Summary
Sometimes all that's needed for enormous differences is a small change, as small as the order of a few sentences in a heated fight. Lily Evans unconsciously makes one such change while arguing with her best friend, and the magnitude of consequences her actions cause hold the potential to reshape not only herself and the people around her, but their world's very future. A What-if AU that explores the questions of how much we know ourselves, how much we're truly influenced by our surroundings and how much we do so in turn, whether unexpected consequences arising from the choices we make are our responsibility, and ultimately, whether truth is truly an objective axiom of existence, or only what we make of it.

Summary
One-shots tying into the Marauder-Era story The Path Not Tread, where one accidental word order choice made by Lily Evans alters her relationship with her best friend Severus Snape, with the Marauders and with the war effort on the whole, leading to a world very similar, and yet very different from the one depicted in canon.
Covering years from the late 1800s to December 25th 1980 and the end of the The Path Not Tread and its sequel, the collection contains additional scenes and explores main and side characters.

Summary
It's the mid-seventies, and there is a darkness growing over the Wizarding World - the First Wizarding War is about to begin. But behind every conflict, there are complex events and circumstances setting the world on its doomed path, and so too are there rising forces of the Light to stand against the Dark of Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters. When extreme politics and hunger for power breed fear and mistrust towards the Ministry, how does the Wizarding World ultimately survive to see one of the greatest Dark Wizards fall at the hands of a mere babe?
A tie-in collection of one-shots and short stories focusing on the politics and course of the First Wizarding War as it progresses through the main story, The Path Not Tread - though it fully fits with canon as well.

Padfoot and Moony's Excellent Adventures in Parenting by BoxyP

Summary
Lord Voldemort is fallen, the Wizarding world is in disarray, and Sirius may be up his freedom and his job at the Auror Office, what with Remus' blasted meddling stopping him from going after the traitorous rat, but he's certainly down one best friend and brother, and a good portion of his heart. Oh, and he's been given the biggest responsibility of his life - that of one helpless, squalling infant. Really, he doesn't quite know what James was thinking, leaving him Harry to raise, but at least he's still got Remus by his side, and there are always meddling good-meaning friends and bothersome family to fall back on when he's feeling overwhelmed. And who knows, maybe along the way, he can figure out what all this business of 'growing up' is that everyone keeps insisting it's high time he undertakes.
A story of two young adults stumbling through life's biggest challenge, told in an overarching narrative and non-chronological vignettes interspersed throughout, and measured by the phases of the moon.

Summary
One-shots tying into my primary AU, where Lily Evans' different choices drastically altered her generation's paths, resulting in her changing the wizarding world after Voldemort's downfall with the help of Albus Dumbledore and Severus Snape, while Harry Potter got to grow up with Sirius Black and Remus Lupin on stories of the (in)famous Marauders.
Covering years directly post The Path Not Tread, and extending through to and into The Lion and The Snake series (1980-1998), the collection contains additional scenes and explores side characters.

Summary
Harry Potter's first year at Hogwarts brings with it three friends who might just help him honour his biggest role models, a Slytherin rival in the form of one Evan Snape, a bossy girl who refuses to choose between them, and a mystery to be solved involving a small package hidden on the third floor. A retelling set in the world where Lily Evans made different choices as a young girl - a world in which she did not give birth to Harry Potter, and James Potter died for a different son, but their children, raised in the shadows of their parents’ choices, must nonetheless find the path that would one day lead them to protect everything they hold dear from the greatest menace Wizarding Britain had ever seen
