    Summary

    At first Harry wonders if they’ve managed to destroy his vaults and are trying to tell him in the most oblique way possible. But when he turns the page he realises they’ve found a vault. A vault in the name of Lily and James Potter.

    The parchment trembles a little in Harry’s hand. He takes another gulp of wine.

    Harry Potter left Britain after the war and didn’t look back. Ten years later, when Gringotts discovers a vault containing his parents’ belongings—including their badly spell-damaged wedding rings—he’s forced to face up to friends and family who’ve grown in ways he could never imagine, a wizarding London rebuilt beyond his expectations, and the anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts. And if that wasn’t enough, there’s the entirely unforeseen problem of Draco Malfoy.

    Featuring pureblood wizarding traditions, ancestral magic, open mic nights, marriage equality, a diner in Brooklyn, and the return of Fleamont Potter.

    Summary

    “Go.” She said, not quite yelling but suddenly intense as she herded Harry back, away from the pillar and towards the tracks. “Go now, boy, or you’ll miss your train!”

    He looked behind his shoulder, there was a train....he hadn’t heard it approach. The doors were open and waiting, and for no good reason at all, he stepped inside. The strange little woman didn’t follow him on, she simply stood there watching him. that same incomprehensible smile on her face.

    “Which path will you choose?” She asked again, just before the doors closed, replacing his view of her with his own, pale reflection.

    ===================

    Sirius was gone, and Harry's world was crumbling through his fingers. All he wanted was a little peace, just a moment to himself.

    Maybe it was a wish come true.

    Maybe it was just the machinations of a strange little witch and her enchanted locket.

    When Harry found himself, now fifty years in the past, on his birthday he doesn't question it too much.

    He just take the opportunities set before him.

    Summary

    Trapped in a flying doughnut with Stephen Strange, Tony Stark is desperately trying to think of a way to save the universe, keep Peter safe, and not reveal a secret he’s been keeping since he was a child. The answer is simple. Destroy the Time Stone. No Infinity Stone, no end of life as they know it.

    Things are never that easy.

    Inadvertently creating a time loop, Stephen is stuck bouncing between the past and the present on the Q-Ship, tethered to a child as he watches him grow up.

    ‘Why do you always come when I’m at my worst?’ Tony muttered under his breath, ripping his hands free.

    ‘You love this, don’t you. Seeing me at my lowest! Afghanistan! My parents dying, boarding school. Poor Tony Stark, the psychotic wreck!’ Tony tried to get to his feet, shrugging Strange and the Cloak off him, feeling validated when he saw the sting of rejection in Stephen’s eyes. Good, he wanted him to hurt, wanted him to stop thinking Tony was weak.

    The story rating is for the last chapter and some swear words sprinkled in.

    The Major Character Death warning is not Tony Stark or Stephen Strange.

    Summary

    The only thing separating him and all the power in the world is a few inches of metal.

    Stephen's already explained that there was no way to bring someone back to life with them. Bringing back half the universe was easy, as they hadn't been dead, merely... hidden away for a while.

    He would die, he thinks, if he tried.

    (He thinks someone should. Try, that is. Thor, or Carol, or Bruce, once he's better. It's selfish, he knows, but he can't help but think it. He wonders if Pepper thinks it too.)

    AKA: the story where Peter uses the Time Stone to go back in time to try and save Tony. Unfortunately, Peter finds out it's harder than it seems.

    Spoiler: Happy Ending included I promise
