    Summary

    Does such a thing as a higher being exist in reality? None of the Marauders were particularly religious but after these stark turn of events, they found themselves begging for a higher power to free themselves from their own guilt and internal torment.

    ***

    What would happen if James Potter was too late? If Severus Snape was beyond help and what was left of him was just a slashed corpse?

    Wanting to avoid the expulsion of Moony, the Marauder's challenge their morality and go to extreme lengths to cover up the murder of Severus Snape. They're just not so sure they can get away with it, they certainly can't outrun the guilt eating them alive.

    Summary

    Inside, Evan cleared his throat with theatrical determination.

    “Eggs,” he announced.

    The pale hands froze.

    Then, very slowly, they reached for the egg bowl.

    “Carefully,” Evan warned at once. “Carefully. It is my birthday. You will be kind to me because I am delicate and beloved.”

    One hand patted his cheek.

    The other picked up an egg.

    “Good boy,” Evan said under his breath, smiling.

    The reaction was instant.

    The hand in the air stilled.

    The fingers flexed once.

    Then Regulus, hidden from view, pressed closer into Evan’s back, all silent pleased heat and traitorous softness. Evan felt it, laughed quietly, and took the smallest step back to support his weight more securely.

    Pandora saw it and pointed at them like she’d found evidence of a crime. “That’s cheating.”

    “Yes,” Dorcas said. “But effective.”

    Evan smiled to himself. “Now, darling—”

    The egg cracked directly against his temple.

    The sound rang through the kitchen.

    Everyone stared.

    A beat later, yolk began to slide slowly down the side of Evan’s face.

    Summary

    Severus Snape desperately wanted to stick to the plan:

    1. Get to Hogwarts.
    2. Be sorted into Slytherin with Lily.
    3. Become the wizard he was always meant to be.

    But things go sideways when Lily is sorted into Gryffindor. And Severus? He throws the plan away.

    In which Severus is a Gryffindor, Lupin is hiding something, Potter and Black are the worst, and there's a Wizarding War about to erupt.

    Summary

    “Maybe it’ll pass,” Lily suggests. “Maybe this is all just a bit of—isolation madness. Stir-craziness.”

    “Maybe. And maybe we’ll wake up tomorrow,” says James, “and laugh at one another for being so dreadfully daft, until we go down and he’s sitting there at breakfast with Harry on his lap and bits of mashed banana in his hair and he pulls that face—you know the one—the sour little face he makes when he suspects he isn’t in on the joke.”

    “You have a point,” says Lily with a loud groan.

    “Don’t sound so surprised, please,” says James.
