An Introduction to "If"

Please read this, or you will probably be very confused.

This is a series of one-shots put together in a collection that is formed by every single named character in the Harry Potter series (as listed on FanFiction). I think that our world is a lonely one, and that our favorite characters might feel that way too, and so every person or creature is paired with someone or something else so that no one is alone. These are mostly non-Canon, and nearly every pair is connected by only a fine thread. Each story takes place in a different universe. In some of these, Voldemort has won, and the survivors (or victors, as it may be) are experiencing changes in a newly dark world. In others, the side of the light has won. And in some, it is undecided or inconsequential.

These stories span every genre, so you are never quite sure what you'll get when you read one. Like I said, every character will be represented, including Morfin Gaunt, Drusilla Black, Charlus Potter, and other characters that have not been fleshed out until now. They join Harry, Hermione, the Weasley family, and the characters you know and love in a Harry Potter variety pack that is sure to thrill you, chill you, and quite possibly depress you for days on end. (Which would be awesome. Then I won't be the only one.)

While the characters may be referenced to in other chapters, each chapter is intended to stand alone and not be influenced by other chapters. For example, if in chapter 8, Harry Potter is dead, he is not necessarily dead in chapters 1-7 or 9-whatever unless otherwise stated.

So, without further ado, here is the list of completed stories; the other ones are being worked on. I plan to upload 1-3 per week. Thanks for reading, and please review!
