Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary: In a world where Peter does not hero-worship James, James’s life foreshadows Harry’s, Remus hides his Patronus for love, and Sirius is raised by a loving family, how differently would their lives turn out?
This story is dedicated to my dogs, since it came to me while I was ridding them of ticks.
On a less serious note, I also want to dedicate it to my Marauder Era goddesses--Gmariam/Gingin and Equinox Chick/Croll. Croll deserves all the beta reader awards in the planet for her valuable tips.

A/N: This story takes place during the Next Generation era. JKR’s characters have small parts throughout, but are not the main characters. I’m continuing in the alternate universe I began in Snape’s Son.
The rating for most of the story is 3-5th years, with warnings for the end chapters.

The Soul Thief by hestiajones
Rated: Professors •Summary:
We consider each other, two shattered entities unexpectedly brought together, their homes within easy reach yet far removed. “Hello,†I say. The gesture is almost comical. I just greeted myself.
“How was it?†she asks. Her chest falls and rises visibly, rapidly. I stare at it. It’s my heart there, pounding.
My answer is a single, inadequate word.
I'd like to thank Jess for gently nudging me to write for this challenge, Croll for her never-ending support, and the SBBCers for their valuable input in the discussions. This plot bunny wouldn't have been possible without some of the debates and theories we've been focussing on in February. Thanks also to Pooja for being the most helpful doctor-in-making, and for being my mosquito-swatting soulmate.
