Summary: In the magical world, soulmate magic is both a source of wonder and disdain. Many would have it for themselves, but would destroy it when it does not benefit them. Years after the second blood war, Harry Potter finds himself on the cusp of making a terrible mistake because of loneliness and a bone-deep desire for a family. Thankfully, Magic has something to say about that and it’s revealed that he has a fated soulmate.
Draco Malfoy has lived with the knowledge that Harry Potter is his soulmate for years unwilling to let him go, but convinced that Harry would want nothing to do with him. His magical circumstances after the war are wretched and he’d wish such a circumstance on no one, much less his own soulmate.

I’m so excited about this series. I think it’s one of the best you’ve written, although your RT fic set me off on a Harry/Draco search!
Thank you for sharing it with us.
I love this series. It’s so good.
Series!?!?! Eeeeeeee!
I noticed the time travel tag on rough trade and was excited about it but by the end of Heart’s Desire I was really quite content with their happiness in coming together despite the tragedy of Draco’s magical circumstances. But a series?!!!! Eeeeee! And I don’t think I’ve seen you write the first wizarding war. That promises to be lots of fun! I’m excited for the next bunch of months <3
So, no plot guesses, no plot suggestions or speculations – I can live with that. But I have to admit, your time travel tag threw me quite a bit.
And honestly, looking forward to a series of yours is doing a lot to raise my mood concerning the upcoming months.
Write if you can and want and get in the mood and I’ll await every single word most eagerly.
Time Travel is the theme for November’s RT.
I this the last part or will there be a part 4?
I have a part 4 plotted but not written.
A book 4 would be amazing. I mean it stands where it is, but I would love to get more of this particular set of characters of all your works.
I love that Harry expresses the depth of his feelings for Hermione. There is something warm and cozy to hear how much they love one another, how much he loves her, without their being in a heterosexual relationship. It’s beautiful, thank you.
Gay Hermonie is now my favorite thing.. I didn’t even know how much I needed it until I read your fic.
Ran across this today so unexpectedly, and now that I’ve sat down and read it all in one go, I go to sleep fully content. At ::checks watch:: 3:13 in the morning.
It was lovely, thank you for sharing!
So I am sure it is me but is this story not up do to being in challenge? Cause I cannot find it and I want to read it. So anyone please help me.
The first story was written in April. It’s currently in beta and I hope to have it ready to publish before the July challenge starts.
May the muse and life be kind to you. I await the fourth installment with relish.
I love the snark!!! I cackled more than once.
I adore this…
I squealed like a little kid about Time Travel. First Wizarding War! Saving Draco and killing Voldemort in ever more creative and terrible ways! It doesn’t matter, any time travel is good for me. It is my favorite trope.
You are one of the most talented writers I have ever had the pleasure of reading. Your world building is amazing, I absolutely adore the Dverger aspect and your method of ritual magic really calls to my pagan soul. I must check your website two or three times a week at the least for new content. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
Very exciting! Have been enjoying this a lot.
There is nothing like reading your fics to get out of a reading slump! Thx
I keep waiting for Only Time to be posted. I’m like a kid on Christmas morning waiting to open his presents. It’s November 2021 can we have our gift ye?? Please oh pretty please!!! Love your gift of writing. What a treasure you are!! Big hugs!! Charlie
It’s being actively posted on RT during the November event.
Still not offering plot suggestions, but would you mind answering as to whether “Only Time” is the last part of series or if there is still more to come? If you mentioned it somewhere, my bad.
By the way, I love the way the conflict with Dumbledore starts to unfold. Plotting within plotting, how very fitting.
I originally planned 3 novels but i realized that it would be four in the writing.
so awesome! as for silly barbarians who try to guess or push plot, bah!! what is already posted is very deeply satisfying. I is quite content, dear lady, as well as most grateful for all the enjoyable reads and rereads herein. mille grazie!!
This story is amazing I love the way you write the characters and how beautiful you manage to make your story! I can’t wait for “Only Time” to come out! This is truly a wonderful series and I cannot wait to see how it develops!
I think I love the third part most of all. I love a mean Harry!
I LOVE this series! I am eagerly awaiting reading Only Time again and whatever you have planned next
Love this series.
I love this series. (I actually adore all your HP work.)
I was wondering if “Only Time” will be migrating to your site since it is no longer accessible on Rough Trade.
Peace.
It’s not finished, so no. When it is finished and edited – it’ll be posted here.
I am really excited to read it again, I love your writing.
Thank you Keira for that update. I’m looking forward to reading it. I only recently came across your work, and I think you are immensely talented. I am loving your new project “Fireborn” on Rough Trade.
Lovely! In the meantime I’ll be reading “FIreborn” on Rough Trade. Your world building is a thing of beauty. 🙂
I’ll continue to revisit my favorites! Thanks for sharing your creations with us!
This series is amazing!!! I’m so looking forward to anything else you write 🙂
Hi, I remember reading your Only Time story on here. I have tried to find it to reread it but I can’t seem to find a working link. Even in Rough Trade. I love all of your stories and I noticed the other one where Jarry creats a bracelet and sends it back in time to his younger self, is also missing. I believe that story was called Phoenix. Can they be found anywhere else? If so can you please provide the links. I just love to reread your works. I’ve read many of them, if not all of them, atleast 3 time.
Neither story is complete or online.
First of all I love this story!!! (And honestly all of your stories, in the fandoms I read I’ve read every story you’ve written multiple times. You even started me on some new fandoms because your works were so amazing! Honestly when I get an update email from you in my inbox it’s a good day.)
I’ve read this serie like 10 times already. I’m pretty sure I’ve read the last part as well once (probably on Rough Trade?) but I’ve not seen it since. Will it be posted on the series page once you’ve finished it to your liking?? Or is it somewhere else I can read it like Wild Hare or EAD?
Or did I completely imagine reading that last part (because if that is the case I might need to start seriously worrying about the amount of fanfiction I read…)
Oeps, I just read the comment above and saw the story is not completed yet. Nevermind, I’ll just wait for it to appear in my inbox. Looking forward to it already!
I’m going through your posted fics this month to soothe myself (it’s been a tough one) and almost risked squealing-to-wake-the-house in excitement seeing that the next part of this series will post soon. Eee!
Because, like, everything you write is sharp and great, it’s why this is one of my retreats in life-chaos lately… but I just really, really dig the domestic touches in this series and am stoked in hopes of rereading Harry’s silly overspending shopping trip again — as soon as I re-read parts one and two. (And maybe sleep tonight.)
Happy Halloween!
I hope you have a great Halloween.
Thank you for posting this. I look forward to it very much. I had a stroke about 18 months ago and my balance has never fully recovered. Having your writings to re-read and look forward to is wonderful. This story is a particularly welcome treat, (along with November Rough Trade). Again, thank you for sharing your wonderful talent.
I await the fourth with baited breath…
Oh. Um. Wow! I got the notification this week for the third story, read it. Loved it. Thought there was an awful lot of background information that was only half discussed. And then today, looking for a specific story to re-read, I discovered it was the third in a series and not a standalone!
I’ve just finished the first two, and will have to go back and re-read the third with this new information!
This comment made me double check to make sure I’d labeled Only Time as the third part in the series. lol
This series is lovely and your world building is always wonderful. I love getting to know the characters as they develop in your stories. And the best part is being able to reread something and notice a new detail that I missed the last time. And Hiro Ito is a badass every time…
I’ve commented on this most excellent series before, but I left something out:
I WANT A PEEL.
I actually picked one out! It’s Eilean Dongnan…well, that’s more of a castle, but still. Can you say which one, if any in particular, you were thinking of when you wrote the series?
Oh, I might have squeed a bit when I saw you planned a 4th part.
I’ve always pictured Smailholm Tower:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smailholm_Tower
Stark and simple with minimal impact on the site. It’s what or who’s inside that made it a home.
I think the one I mentioned would be more of what Harry and Draco were talking about when they mentioned adding on to the original structure, after rereading that part. I love the one Keira linked, it’s like a sentinel at watch, yes?
I just finished with your Heart and Soul series. I absolutely loved it. I am thrilled with what has already been written but I am wondering if there is another part coming. I cannot wait to see what challenges you have in store for Harry, Draco and the gang. ❤️
I have one plotted but due to health issues, I’ve not completed a project in nearly a year.
I really want to read this one, but it seems it was deleted… Anywhere else I can read it?
I’m having some website issues but the stories should be back at this point.
Just checking in to say “Greetings!” And wishing you well. Hope your health issues are resolving themselves.
I’ve read this fic three times at least and every time I’m devastated when I get to the end of the third fic. I just love it so much! I really adore the first parts with Harry and Draco navigating their changing relationship and the impact that Voldie and everything had on both of them. I really hope you come back to this story soon. I would love to see how it all ends. I really like your personal canon about the dverger and enjoy their part of each story they’re in. I’m also not a fan of the Weasley’s (though I do appreciate fic where they all grow up and love Harry the way he deserves) so I love the over the top characterisations of them and Harry’s responses. Your writing is very engaging and I enjoy it a lot. I’m terrible about writing comments but I’ve read all your HP fics at least once and enjoyed them immensely. Trying to wait very patiently for more!
