    Summary

    “When our demigod heroes complete quests of a certain difficulty or influence, we offer them immortality, to become one of us. We tell them it’s a reward, and perhaps it is, but truthfully it is because their divinity has begun to outshine their humanity, and their mortal forms won’t hold forever. The same holds true for you.”

    After Harry Potter's return to life in the Forbidden Forest, the Underworld deities judge that his time as a mortal must end. Harry, who was only just starting to get to grips with a magical world without war, must now enter a new world of myth, and take his place in the Underworld Court. Of course, Harry's never been very good at doing what he's told and won't give up on the life he fought for so easily.

    Summary

    "The last thing he remembered was Uncle Vernon’s purple face as he was slammed into his cupboard. “AND STAY THERE! NO MEALS!” He’d heard something crack, and suddenly felt very tired. He’d drifted off, growing cold…And now he was here. Wherever ‘here’ was."

    After the incident at the zoo, Vernon manhandles Harry so badly he actually dies from his injuries. Too bad the prophecy won't let him die except at the hands of Voldemort, no matter how much he wants to stay with his parents. Meanwhile, Persephone goes missing in the British Isles on the way back to the Underworld, and Zagreus can't stand sitting around waiting, as usual for him. Thus begins a rather strange arrangement between the two boys tied to death (and Death).

    Or: in which Harry gets a big brother figure in the form of Zagreus

    Summary

    He was only twelve, going on thirteen. And shouldn't Madame Pomfrey been able to detect this and stop it while he'd been in the hospital wing? Because seriously? This? This thing right here? It had to have been something to do with the Basilisk having bitten him. A whole new spin on the Snake!Harry Genre with some Ancestor! thrown in. Cross-posted from FF.Net.
