Stories by DarknessEnthroned

Overlooked. Ignored. Humiliated. Abandoned. Alone. Harry has endured eleven years of bitter, frustrating unfairness, unaware of his birthright ticket to a world of magic. But he was always going to find his way there. And the magical world is nothing like he might have ever expected...

Voldemort has returned. Night after night, Harry dreams of death, of Cedric dying, of Karkaroff, and he dreads what he knows is coming, what Voldemort might do now his strength is restored. But… as we all know, there's a prophecy... And Harry has fallen far enough into fear. It's time for him to rise.

Summaries give the game away! Have a prophecy instead... "You will chase fate to the place you once loved most, with Agamemnon's penance and Hades's boast. Grief waits for two as they flee the hate of old bones and a hero will die, forsworn amongst thrones. Lost girl from the garden will be followed by three, one you saved, one you helped, and one she'll set free."

The series of prequel shortpieces that everyone insisted I write for my ongoing "For Whom the Bell Tolls", starting from the very beginning, where Harry, burdened by debts and beyond the help of friends with their own lives to pursue, takes his first step into the shadier world of illicit curse-breaking and black market smuggling that will one day lead him to the temple on Aia...

The sequel to A Cadmean Victory Remastered. Don't read unless you've read both it and the short little prequel A Quest For Europa already! Death is just the beginning.

Voldemort is defeated and dead, but Harry still must battle his true arch-enemy... Rita Skeeter! He's also trying to find a date, find something that gets his heart racing again after the war ended and everything was becalmed, and get away from boredom. Another short piece I turned into a novella, written for a supporter of mine in their attempt to prop up one particular pair!

Perhaps the very best of all my short pieces so far. Written for someone who very generously supports my writing endeavors as my take upon a rarer pairing. After the dust of the war has settled and everyone begins to move on to pursue their long held life goals, Harry, who has only dreamt of family, feels left behind. Slow-burn for a few short scenes and then deliciously dark...

At a little bit of a loose end in life, Harry finds himself drinking in a mysterious and magical bar. The bartender promises the magic of the bar will help him onto the next great adventure in his life. And adventure is exactly what Harry will find, if not perhaps the sort he was expecting... Written on the request of one of those who very kindly support me. PLEASE DO READ THE AN!

Short piece number something! Post-war, as the short pieces I write most often are. And also a small experiment, as they also most often are! This one features Harry. And Gabby. And Fleur. And Hermione. Someone gets married (to someone else, even). But it's rated K, so don't get too excited... There may be romance! There may also be sarcasm (not in the summary though)!

Another novella! This one's an AU quidditch fic with a little bit of humour and romance in the locker-room! Written for a friend and very generous supporter of my creative journey

Another short piece of mine! Post-war. Sharp and a little sweet. Anything more would ruin the puzzle this piece is meant to be!

A very short AU accompaniment to A Cadmean Victory, the Harry/Katie spin off snapshot that nobody asked for! Does require having read the main fic, or it makes no sense! Do read the short AN for this one, because it's a weird one!

A short Haphne piece written for the Haphne Discord Server's Winter Theme Challenge! A little winter mystery romance... Oh, and this story may unexpectedly contain tuna.

A really really really short scene written for a Discord challenge for a Harry/Fleur anniversary. It leans a little on A Spoonful of Sugar, for those who've read that. If I wrote any more in the summary, it'd be longer than the fic, so the rest is read and find out!

It's been almost a decade since Voldemort's defeat, but the debts owed to victory are not yet paid. Pursued by grudge-bearing goblins for reparations in the wake of a career-ending quidditch injury and plagued by mounting medical bills, Harry stumbles into a new life of curse-breaking and treasure-hunting. And when a chance comes to clear his debts in one go, how can he say no?

A sweet little novella I wrote for a good friend and supporter of my creative journey!

Tonight, before midnight (long before midnight, I have to work tomorrow)... the first chapter will be posted. A Cadmean Victory will rise again, greater and better edited than it ever was before. The sequel, A Taste of Ismenian Water, is now posted!

Before A Cadmean Victory, there was a Quest for Europa, as anyone who knows their Greek Mythos may well know. This short little prequel sets the scene for that longer story and for A Taste of Ismenian Water, the sequel.

The war's over. Harry is victorious. But some victories come with a price. A short piece of post-war Harry/Tonks for Darkened Void!

Sometimes, a spoonful of sugar's all you need to make life taste a little sweeter.

In the aftermath of a peaceful summer comes the Goblet of Fire and the chance of a quiet year to improve himself, but Harry Potter and the Quiet Revision Year was never going to last. A more mature, darker Harry, bearing the effects of 11 years of virtual solitude. GoF AU. There will be romance... eventually. Remastered and sequel ongoing!

Pull a thread and the tapestry unravels. A song of ice and fire from the very first note. All the difference a drunk, a dwarf and a dragonbone dagger might have made in the right order. An audacious attempt to weave something new from the same web G R R Martin has spun. Likely to be epic length, and to contain aspects of all genres. Now, sadly, as deadard as Eddard.

The original epilogue to A Cadmean Victory before I decided to make the last chapter the epilogue and leave things hanging. Obviously it's just a single chapter and scene, but I thought I might as well share it as a separate story for those who wanted to see my version of the ending. The full version of the story will continue in A Taste of Ismenian Water (Sequel)!
