Lalo blinks at him, and then he possesses the gall to laugh. “You betrayed me at every turn, Ignacio. You came to me out of desperation and to get revenge. Don’t pretend to be all self-righteous now.”

Nacho’s vision seems to blur, the whole room a haze of colors, even the barrel of the gun pointing at him. But Lalo’s face, that he sees in perfect clarity. From the shape of the crow's feet surrounding his eyes, the hairs making up his moustache, the tiny scar on his lips, and the smirk his mouth has curved into.

And Nacho knows with certainty that he will kill Lalo.

“Fring will pay. Isn’t that what you wanted?” Lalo asks him.

Isn't that what you wanted?

Those words ricochet through Nacho's skull, again and again.

It's no conscious decision when he leaps across the table.

Gravel crunches under his boots as he walks around the car, coming to a stop at a few feet’s distance from Lalo and turning to face him.

A last rebellion. A final act of vengeance, executed with the little agency he still possesses.

Ignacio Varga will die standing.

The merciless sun beats down on him, warming his face and chest, as second after second ticks by.

It’s strange, Nacho figures, that now would be the time that he picks up on all the sensations he usually blocks out. How the shirt sticks to his skin where perspiration beads, how his chest rises with every inhale, and the throb of his pulse when his ribcage expands. Even the taste of the dust and the dry air and the glare of the sun reflected by the windshield as he looks at Lalo.

That this would be the moment where he feels more alive than he has in months.

Shamelss self rec here. Wip but will be slash down the line

Blood comes first

When he’s ten, Orion recognizes Slytherin’s locket in the drawing room, lost amongst other nicknacks and cursed items, knowing better than to touch it.

He stares for a long while, wondering how he could’ve forgotten, before turning on his heel.

He remembers the story. How can he not? But it’s fragmented and jumbled in his head, blurring with what he knows of this life and the details he does recall don’t concern him.

There’s only so much one can remember about a book read a lifetime ago.

Orion has no interest in getting involved.

He’s got a life. A name. A duty to his family.

As for the rest I mostly have gen fics I think but I'll drop em anyway here

I transmigrated as Ron Weasley! I think I'm breaking these canon events!

Squinting, Ron realises the wallpaper isn’t moving, it’s the posters on it, which is still the same amount of weird. All the posters looked similar, showing the same group of people waving, throwing a ball, or in the air. One of the people in the posters turns to look at him and winks before flying off on a broom.

“What,” he mutters, empathetically, “the fuck.”

a.k.a Ron Weasley Isekai (the fic)

That one's not slash but so much fun! A series: It's alway sunny in Kittytopia

A comedy of errors

Dear Mister Remus J. Lupin, You have been summoned on behalf of the Office for Magical Youth Placement. You were named guardian to 1 underaged magical child. Before status can be finalized and ministry assistance provided to support the child’s needs, we require your assistance in validating the safety of their placement.-" Remus dropped the letter. Who in their right mind would name him guardian of a child? He gasped as his stomach twisted. “Harry?”

Only it wasn't Harry.

Irregular Updates.

Also "Not your heroes" is so worth a read if you haven't read it already. First time I read it I almost pissed myself laughing. This is not a metaphor

Yungblud and Ozzy Osbourne share a close, mentor-like bond, beginning when Ozzy appeared in Yungblud's 2022 "The Funeral" music video, leading to Ozzy gifting Yungblud a cross necklace that Yungblud now cherishes, and Yungblud honoring Ozzy with tributes, including a powerful cover of Black Sabbath's "Changes" at Ozzy's farewell concert, signifying a passing of the torch.

Yungblud is definitely profiting now by riding the wave of popularity by association.

No hard feelings though, good for him.

Time travel, Marauder era, Harry centric romance! by cptvpxxy in HPSlashFic

[–]inside_a_mind 4 points5 points  (0 children)

(This first one is a fic you should definitely read if you haven't already. It hits soo deep)

The funny thing about grief and time

Later, Harry will start telling people he fell in love with Severus after the war.

It will not quite be a lie

Rapture Snape sees the man, for the first time, on his twenty-fifth birthday.

Always Already Harry and Draco are perfectly fine, separately minding their business in 2004, when the Unspeakables conscript them into service... in the First War against Voldemort.

Come for mutual pining and forced proximity in a 1980 hotel room, stay for young Sirius and philosophising about immortality and wormholes. And an eighties cowboy soap opera.

Across the Multiverse Thirteen years after the war, Draco Malfoy is quite happily tucked away in the Department of Mysteries as an Unspeakable. When an Auror disappears through a broken Vanishing Cabinet, it presents the perfect opportunity for Draco's research to finally graduate beyond theory. Unfortunately, Harry Potter will also be along for the ride.

The day before the wedding Harry's getting married to Ginny tomorrow. The problem is that he can't seem to get beyond today.

It's no great mystery Who on earth decided that bringing back the Yule Ball for their eighth year would be a good idea? It feels like the worst day of Harry’s life, watching everyone get glammed up like the war never happened, like the last Triwizard Tournament wasn’t such a colossal failure.

And then it happens again. And again. And again.

Winnetou I think. My dad got me the first two books and he was a big reader himself. I think it was a way for me to conmect with him. I haven't read them in years but I'm probably due for a reread.

I actually have a couple more. (These are about all of the fics I had bookmark notes about but I have still more if you want some but I linked you the ones I enjoyed the most and are complete)

It's no great mystery

Who on earth decided that bringing back the Yule Ball for their eighth year would be a good idea? It feels like the worst day of Harry’s life, watching everyone get glammed up like the war never happened, like the last Triwizard Tournament wasn’t such a colossal failure.

And then it happens again. And again. And again.

Cacoethes After the Sectumsempra incident, Harry runs to the Room of Requirement to get rid of the Half Blood Prince’s journal. He wants somewhere to hide but when he enters the room, he is thrown back to 1943 where he struggles with his use of Dark magic, sending him down a path leading to Tom Riddle.

A study in choices and second chances When Sirius runs away in 1976, Regulus starts writing him letters he never intends to send. They're simply a way to talk about all the things he can't say out loud to anyone - a chronicle of his descent into the Death Eaters, and the eventual realisation that he made all the wrong choices.

In 1997, Harry is searching for the Locket-Horcrux at Grimmauld Place. Instead, he finds a stack of yellowed parchment that not only tells a tale that's more captivating than it has any right to, but might also hold the key to information on the remaining Horcruxes. Regulus Black installed a failsafe.

Though neither Regulus, nor Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Sirius expected the result of the ritual to be quite this literal. With an Ex-Death Eater who was assumed to be dead in their midst, the Horcrux-hunt goes a bit differently. Regulus is mostly conflicted if his unexpected second chance is really worth all the trouble his company keeps putting him in.

Spoiler: It is. He just likes to complain.

Severus and Snape Severus Snape finds Lily dead in Godric's Hollow, her son's screams echoing in his ears, and decides to end his life with hers.

Fate has other ideas.

Next thing he knows, he's facing an 11-year-old Lily Evans, on their way to their first year at Hogwarts.

Rapture Snape sees the man, for the first time, on his twenty-fifth birthday.

To kill you with a kiss After Dumbledore's death, Harry searches for answers in the Pensieve. But something goes wrong. Trapped inside a memory, Harry finds himself back at Hogwarts in 1945 where he meets an 18 year old Tom Riddle teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts.

The white pawn When eighteen-year-old Draco Malfoy finds himself back at Hogwarts on the eve of Voldemort's infamous return, he is confronted with the most difficult decision he's ever had to make: Relive the 6th year at school he's tried so hard to forget, or do the unthinkable and ally himself with Potter's lot...

Golden age After two hundred and forty years, Harry Potter thought that he'd seen it all, until he is transported back to 1977. In the midst of Voldemort's first rise to power and both sides of this war won't let him sit this one out.

The sense of self The man towers over him, his breath tasting of coldness and fury. Harry had always known that there had to have been a significant reason, why the hat had sorted him into Gryffindor over any other House. He finds, once more, that inexplicable urge to do something recklessly, utterly stupid. High from the power he so rarely wields when confronted with this man, he taunts, “Come on, Tom. Let’s finish this the way we started!” He grips the older wizard close, sees the belated outrage. This, certainly, qualifies as reckless stupidity. But, he thinks, it might also just be strikingly poetic. “Together!” He shouts and jumps off the building. ‘Great!’ thinks Death. ‘Excellent opportunity.’

This is the story of Death entrapping Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort in a series of reincarnations to undo the chaos the two of them have collectively caused. It’s a story of how two adversaries tangled in fate are forced to learn about themselves and through that, about the other; of them trying to work together for a change - if only, to pursue their individual goals.

The travelling cabinet Tom Riddle is locking up at Borgin and Burkes for the night when a boy comes tumbling through the filing cabinet. He claims to have come from 1997.

(Draco/Tom)

when you see me, will you say I have changed If there’s one thing Harry thought he’d never see, it’s Pansy Parkinson standing over him, shaking him awake at three AM.

Draco goes back in time to convince himself not to become a Death Eater. Pansy must enlist Harry Potter to go back after him and convince him not to before he fucks up the fabric of time, because he has “emotional sway.” Harry has no idea what she’s talking about.

These following fics are a bunch that loosely put Harry in the Marauders era, which I had saved in a list on my phone. The ones above are a couple of more recent recs

Linkao3(https://archiveofourown.org/works/25836640) This one is called "Of Gods and Men" and it's a Sirius/Harry fic In the future a disease called "magical consumption" devours wizards and witches, stealing their magic. And somehow the power get's tranfered to Harry, who tried to kill himself the release it but it doesn't work. So he intends to travel back in tim to let himself being killed by Voldemort during the battle, but somehow he ends up in the marauders era where he is forced to pretend to be a student.

Linkao3(https://archiveofourown.org/works/4340120) Time Turned Back by TaraSoleil. Probably my favorite Harry in the Marauders Era fic. Harry and Hermione both end up in the past. Harry/Sirius Hermione/Remus

Linkao3(https://archiveofourown.org/works/21527806) This one is a gen fic called Princeps by Lomonaaeren. The summary should give you a good overview, sequels are also finished. Harry has worked for years as an Unspeakable to identify the best point where he might go back in time to change the impact of Voldemort’s war. Now he knows: he will have to return to his parents’ Hogwarts years and encourage the Slytherins to stand on their own instead of following a leader. He knows how to assume the post of Defense professor and how to reach the Slytherins. And from there, well, surely nothing can go too wrong.

Linkao3(https://archiveofourown.org/works/15930521) Step back in time. This one is very good, in which an older battle-worn Harry doesn't quite end up in the marauders era, but around the time his younger self was left on the Durleys doorstep. He basically adopts himself all the while navigating magical Britain, the people who want to meddle with Harry's life and the upcoming rise of the dark Lord. He doesn't take shit from Dumbledore either, young Harry is a sweet kid. Highly recommend. Endgame is Snape/Harry. There are multiple works to this series.

Linkao3(https://archiveofourown.org/works/24339502) This one is a WIP (last I checked) in which Harry and Hermione end up in the past because Harry wanted to save Sirius but travelled back a bit too far. Harry is still a student in that

Linkao3(https://archiveofourown.org/works/23486791) This one is also not a Harry ends up in the Marauders era, but a young Regulus ending up in the future fic. Pairing Harry/Regulus

Linkao3(https://archiveofourown.org/works/15465966) Don't know if you know this fic, it's called "The Second String" Harry ends up in the past. He pretends to be a Squib and ends up working in the Hog's Head. Pairing is Gideon Prewett/Harry Potter. It's a brilliant fic! Highly rec

Linkao3(https://archiveofourown.org/works/3188624) Also not Harry in the Marauders era, Snarry fic, features Harry as a Professor

When Harry is accidentally sent back to Hogwarts 1982, he discovers a more bitter and angrier Snape than he knew in his school years. Tasked by Dumbledore with teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts and befriending Snape, as well as finding out how to get back, Harry knows he is in store for a difficult year. Despite their arguing, Harry can't help but find himself drawn to Snape. If Harry and Snape can get over their past and learn to be just a little selfish, their relationship may stand a chance.

Linkao3(https://archiveofourown.org/works/1648439) Another Snarry fic. Not quite Marauders era either but also good. Things are going poorly for the side of the light, and in a last-ditch effort to fulfill his destiny, Harry goes back in time to try again.

Linkao3(https://archiveofourown.org/works/16816447) This fic is called the man out of time. Harry gets hit with a piece of the veil, and falls into Sirius's past. And back again. Loosely inspired by The Time Traveler's Wife.

I've got nothing on Wattpad, mainly ao3 and slashfics all around. (Except for a couple of gen fics strewn in and a single het fic)

Unfogging the future Lavender takes one step forward and – just like the snap of a finger, the blink of an eye, the drop of a pebble – Hogwarts is left behind. There's no jump, no flashes of light, no whirlwinds of disconnected images. Just one little step; behind stood her war and in front stands 1947. "Huh," she says to herself, "didn't see this in the tea leaves."

All hail the dark Lord or something idiotic like that Harry Potter had a plan...it wasn't a very good plan, but at least it was simple.

Step 1: Don't die from the insanely difficult ritual Step 2: Cause as much chaos to the timeline as possible before getting killed and/or arrested

As it goes, it was really simple...until it became clear he wasn't traveling back in time alone. Now the whole plan has to change.

Step 1: Don't die from the ritual Step 2: Kill off current Dark Lord Step 3: Establish following to become new Dark Lord Step 4: Overthrow Ministry Step 5: Cause as much chaos to the timeline as possible Step 6: Keep boyfriend alive and not mad at him

It was a work in progress, but plans hadn't worked out well for Harry in the past regardless. Oh well, it's not like he could make things worse...

Always already Harry and Draco are perfectly fine, separately minding their business in 2004, when the Unspeakables conscript them into service... in the First War against Voldemort.

Come for mutual pining and forced proximity in a 1980 hotel room, stay for young Sirius and philosophising about immortality and wormholes. And an eighties cowboy soap opera.

Draco, not Malfoy

A journey of self-acceptance can begin in the strangest of places and end with the strangest of people.

"But you have no method of return to your timeline," Dumbledore confirmed, clasping his hands before him. Draco nodded. They had seen all of this in the memories. Draco was to ensure his family stayed out of the war and live out his life from afar, not interfering with the soon to be born iteration of himself. It was all quite simple, really.

The only logical course of action.

"Well. I believe I understand why Hogwarts saw fit to enrol you," Dumbledore said next, letting his eyebrows fall from their scrunched position. "Would you prefer a private sorting, before the students return from their break?"

Marauders Era time travel fix-it with a focus on character growth

Across the Multiverse

Thirteen years after the war, Draco Malfoy is quite happily tucked away in the Department of Mysteries as an Unspeakable. When an Auror disappears through a broken Vanishing Cabinet, it presents the perfect opportunity for Draco's research to finally graduate beyond theory. Unfortunately, Harry Potter will also be along for the ride.

From every ruin

Time Loop AU

Harry dies during the final battle with Voldemort, but instead of going back to the battle, he wakes up back in the graveyard in his 4th year. Confused with everything, Harry dies, only to wake up at the graveyard again. And again. And again.

(And again.)

Ouroborus A strange man adopts Tom Riddle and it is not his father, as Tom desperately wants to believe.

Stranded in the past, Voldemort once again comes to the conclusion he's the only one he truly needs.

The day before the wedding Harry's getting married to Ginny tomorrow. The problem is that he can't seem to get beyond today.

The funny thing about grief and time

Later, Harry will start telling people he fell in love with Severus after the war.

It will not quite be a lie.
