Summary
Obi-Wan was hurt. He was bleeding and wouldn't wake up. Little Anakin, only recently freed from slavery, went to the cockpit of the ship to send a distress call. He took a deep breath, then, as steadily as he could, spoke into the transmitter. “We need help, please. I don’t know where we are and we need help. Is anyone there?”
The distress call was answered and it changed everything.

Summary
Regulus Black survives his adventure in the cave and brings the locket to an unlikely ally: his estranged older brother. The ex-Death Eater strikes a bargain with Dumbledore, cooperation in exchange for his family’s safety. Sirius Black is faced with his toughest mission yet: managing Walburga and Orion Black—who, to his surprise and dismay, decide they rather enjoy having both of their sons back, and very quickly scheme to make this temporary family reunion permanent.
Or: the story of how one night completely changed the course of the war and Sirius's life.

Summary
What if Harry had been rescued from the Dursleys? What if he grew up loved and knowing about magic? What if his neighbor was Hermione? What if Lily Potter had a best friend who kept her promise to Lily to raise her son? This is what could have been.
Summary is vague, but this is an AU canon rewrite wherein Harry was raised by Amelia Bones, Lily's best friend. There are still large canon elements, but they occur differently based on the new environment. This is part of a larger series that spans from the 1970 to 1997 and covers the Marauder Era (also AU) to the end of the war. Characters may seem OOC, but that is because this is an AU. Darker themes will be present.

Summary
Now that Harry is back at Hogwarts with Hermione for eighth year, he realises that something’s missing from his life, and it either has to do with Ron, his boggart, Snape, or Malfoy. Furthermore, what, exactly, does it mean when one’s life is defined by the desire to simultaneously impress and annoy a portrait? Harry has no idea; he’s too busy trying not to be in love with Malfoy to care.
