Summary
"So, uh... how does this work? You snap your fingers and I just wake up?"
Death lets out an undignified snort, covering her smile with one hand. "Please. Me snapping my fingers won't do anything. That would be a little overkill, don't you think?"
"You know more about your powers than I do, lady," Jason says.
"You are correct." Death smiles. "Does that mean you would like to return?"
Jason gave her a long-suffering look. "Yeah, I figured we'd established that already."
"Then, before you go to your new life, I want to give you a gift. Something that could come to assist you in your new life."

Summary
The Dreaming stands, but Dream... Dream is gone.
In the aftermath of the assault on the Dreaming, the Kindly Ones delivered their judgement, their punishment - for spilling blood - and yet, Dream is gone... but not yet returned. Death does not understand why. Endless remain... and yet Dream... is just gone.
Only because the Kindly Ones did not take his life that day. No. It's not much of a punishment if it was what he craved most.
No, instead, they trap him in an unending nightmare - living the moment he killed his son over and over again. Until he breaks, until he begs, until the end of time - Dream doesn't know. He just knows there's no escape. There's no help coming. He's alone.
And every day that he kills his son - just to wash the blood away again and again... He desires for this to end, he would beg for death, he wallows in despair, and he worries he's becoming delirious. The touch of his siblings reside in him, but he accepts they will never come for him. He deserves this. It's his punishment.
His siblings don't care - he tells himself... unaware they don't even know he's alive, and if they did - none of them, not even Desire, would agree.

Summary
“Sister,” Morpheus cut over her, “why are you doing this?”
Death glared at him. “Why?? You seriously have to ask me that? I don’t want to see you scarred, Dream!” she snapped angrily, hurt. “If this goes wrong, you’ll carry the scar of this until the end of this universe! I don’t want that, and setting aside the part where I love you, brother, the very thought of it is abhorrent to me, to my very nature! And I don’t want to see that poor women withered away into little more then a spiritual tumour for you to bare!”
~
Lilly's gaze fixed on his eyes and the stars, the galaxies, the universe in his pupils. When he reached for her she stepped back with a gasp. “What are you?”
“I am everything I have ever told you I am, that my sister told you I am. You just didn’t understand, didn’t appreciate, the scale of what that meant. I have never lied to you, Lilly.”
Her eyes were wide and frightened as she whispered, “Dream...”
~~
When a single mistake creates a cascade of events with only two possible outcomes, either joy, or tragic devastation, all pieces on the board must be brought to bare.
With the Endless, magic, and love, lies just a hair's breadth away from the depths of insanity.

Summary
When Harry vanishes in the middle of fifth year, the wizarding world is left reeling in panic.
However, the truth is far stranger.
Disillusioned by Dumbledore’s manipulations after learning about the prophecy, Harry is approached by the deity of Death. Death gives him a choice. Continue down the path of sacrifice as the Savior...or he can choose a new path–one of Balance.
Choosing the latter, Harry is swept through time to 1912 New Orleans, where he takes on the name Alastor. This new path offers things he never thought he’d have–family, freedom, love, and purpose.
As Alastor grows into himself–and eventually into the Radio Demon–he takes on the mantle of Balance. He revels in the chaos, punishes the wicked, and brings balance where he walks. Sometimes with mercy, sometimes with carnage.
Over the decades, his journey eventually meets up with his past. And the world he left behind still needs him.
And when the two timelines collide again…the wizarding world will learn that the boy they once knew is no longer a boy at all.
