TITLE:
Heart of the EclipsePERPETRATOR:
DenianSUE-O-METER: Toxic
COVER/BANNER ART: The writer's avatar is a piece of pop art.
SUMMARY:”EXTREME AU! Genderbending, twincest, religious topics,... Avoid if you are sensitive about any topics. "They made us titans, Harry. Immortal by our fate. If you want to change this..." "Hermione, nobody should be immortal. You know this. I know this. We all do." "Then we need to ascend." "Ascend to what? What's left beyond our power?" "Godhood."”
FULL NAME: Harry and Flora Potter, plus Hermione Granger
SPECIES: Fraternal twins.
HAIR: Flora's hair is “blood red”.
EYES: n/a
MARKINGS: n/a (Well, likely none, as the writer erased all of Harry Potter canon just so they can pass their original fiction story off as a Harry Potter fanfic.)
POSSESSIONS: n/a
CONNECTION TO CANON: Children are never born during the eclipse, but the twins are, and so is Hermione Granger. Apparently parenting only lasts seven cycles. James though thinks he's only going to get thirteen eclipses. James is disgraced, Lily takes back her maiden name through ritual, and the children are stolen away from their parents just because its cool, and not because that has anything to do with Harry Potter, and is just the writer making random stuff up. The story is painful to read honestly due to the fact the writer can't tell the difference between original fiction and fanfiction.
ORIGIN: Supposedly were in a different world called Terra Origina and not Earth for the story, but England still exists. The story ships all three together as well, or at least that's what the tags indicate.
SPECIAL ABILITIES: “He was worried. Both children were obviously strongly magical. Their magic, though, felt distinctly like that of the eclipse itself: Heavy, intense and slightlychaotic. Both felt slightly different, but harmonious in a way.
NOTES: A story is either AU, or it is not. There is no being more of an AU than another story. I looked up “extreme AU” and found over three-hundred fifty stories which have either “extreme AU” or “extremely AU” in the story.
SAMPLE:
James Potter glanced out of the window, still holding his wife's hand as he did so. This whole day was strange - and it wasn't because he was about to become a father for the first time. Although, thinking about it, that was a strange feeling, too.
The strangest part of the day, though, was... well, the day itself.
It was an unwritten rule, empirically proven by the previous 1579 full cycles - which meant 3158 eclipses - since Terra Arcana was first created, that no child was ever born on an eclipse day. Never. Not once. In any world with linear time, this might be statistically impossible, but somehow, time itself had always ensured that children on Terra Arcana were born either the day before or after, but never on an eclipse day.
Today, though, two would be born, and both would bear the surname of Potter. Twins. Fraternal twins of different genders, at that, which was so rare, they might as well be the first ones. All but a percent of all twins were identical, and even among the few fraternal twins, more than seventy percent were of the same gender. Magic seemed to dislike the thought of twins being different.
These two seemed to be intent on being born during the actual eclipse itself, too.
James didn't know how to feel. Should he feel proud? Frightened, maybe? Eclipses were important, not only because they were the major events by which magicals were able to measure time. Strong magic was at work during both kinds of eclipse, magic with a mind of its own, and any major spellcasting was prone to erratic behaviour as long as the sun or the moon were even partially obscured. Erratic? By the gods, most of it was pure chaos - benevolent chaos, yes, but still chaos!
"James?"
"Yes, dear?"
He looked down at his wife, the love in his eyes clearly visible to all observers.
"Do you still agree with the names?"
James smiled at her. His Lily, always fretting about minor details when nervous.
"Yes, dear, I still agree. Harry James Potter, to continue the naming traditions of my family, and Flora Potter to continue yours, even into a new world."
