Summary
After the fall of Voldemort, a Ravenclaw student is given a task that could reshape history: travel back in time to prevent Tom Riddle from becoming the Dark Lord. Disguised as a transfer student from Salem Witch Academy, she navigates 1940s Hogwarts, balancing the demands of her cover with the dangerous reality of influencing one of the most brilliant—and morally complex—young wizards of his generation. Every interaction, every decision, carries consequences, and the line between guidance and interference is razor thin. As she forms tentative friendships and encounters Tom Riddle’s intellect and ambition firsthand, she begins to understand just how difficult it will be to change a future already set in motion.

Summary
In a city of shadows and glass, where love once bloomed and burned, eight souls return to a place that holds both promise and pain. Some hearts are pulled toward a long awaited reunion laced with unspoken sorrow, while others stumble into the fragile beauty of a first awakening.
Bonds are mended, broken pieces gathered, and old wounds slowly begin to heal. But just as warmth returns, an unseen figure watches from the dark calm, calculating, waiting.
What begins as a story of love and healing slowly unravels into a chilling dance with something that has been patient for far too long. And when it finally strikes, the question will remain:
Can love endure when the darkness decides to claim its due?Because what once was buried in the ashes is rising again.
And this time, it wants to finish what fire could not.
Because some ghosts don't haunt. They hunt. -

Summary
“Elphaba,” Glinda said, her jaw bobbing up and down uselessly. “What did you do?”
She said it as more of a statement than a question because she knew. She could see it quite plainly, the Wizard’s body slumped over on the cold marble floor.
“I didn’t mean to,” Elphaba said. “I mean, I kind of wanted to, but I didn’t know what I was doing.”
Glinda’s eyes narrowed into something judgmental, but honestly not nearly angry enough considering Elphaba had just committed a murder, an assassination at that–-but suddenly there were footsteps. Elphaba paused like a deer in headlights, but Glinda grabbed the Wizard’s feet and dragged him quickly back over to the perch behind the curtain.
“Don’t just stand there. Help me!”
OR
what if elphaba accidentally killed the wizard when she went to free the monkeys lmao
