    Summary

    A process is recursive when it defines or contains itself; e.g., the Fibonacci sequence, which determines the next number as the sum of the previous two.

    But not all recursive processes are mathematical. Recursion can happen in a temporal context when, for instance, the powerful magical force that is true love drags you back in time so it can create itself, endangering the fate of the Wizarding World—not to mention the very fabric of space and time—along the way.

    Summary

    Instead of three Gryffindors, the trio consists of a Slytherin, a Ravenclaw, and a Hufflepuff. No matter what, they're on each other's teams. And also, they probably need more than just two friends, and maybe even some competent adults.

    And meanwhile, in the firmaments, the war builds.

    Or: the power the Dark Lord Knows Not is friendship, but in a split-knuckled, brutally co-dependent sort of way.

    (Alt Title: The Golden Trio Build A Death Star.)

    Summary

    If Severus Snape had more than a token amount of control over his own life, he would not have chosen to relive 1991, and he certainly would have appreciated being allowed the luxury of his own body. However, since this was the situation he found himself in, he was hell bent on making the best of it. On the whole, he expected he’d do a better job of it than Potter, and why not? After all, as a fully trained wizard with a mastery in potions, nearly two decades experience in espionage, and knowledge of the future — he’d certainly expect to do better than an arrogant teenager more focused on quidditch than his responsibilities.

    In which Severus Snape learns that being The Boy Who Lived is rather more difficult than he would have expected and he overthinks everything because being a ten-year-old is boring.

    Summary

    One newspaper article upends Harry's Wednesday morning, as he must deal with the consequences of having the reality of his home life splashed across the front page of The Daily Prophet. It might have been bearable if the information was anything less than the absolute truth.

    this is what it looks like when your grandfather loves you but your whole family's emotionally constipated.
    (except for your uncle, but that might just be all the tea he drinks.)
