Revenant Concept
The Revenant have merged with the people of earth for thousands of years.
A Revenant is an eternal spirit created through special evolutionary circumstances. Some humans are born with the innate ability to achieve a higher form of existence at the moment of their death. This is a choice they make–become a Revenant or allow their soul energy to be return to the fabric of the universe. Eventually, all Revenant will make the decision to be absorbed back into the energy that governs the universe so they can eventually be reincarnated.
Revenants have the ability to join with another and thus share their mortal body. This sharing creates a duality within the mortal body–two souls sharing memories, information, and experiences as circumstances allow. Humans who choose to share their body with a Revenant are called Anchors.
Anchors enjoy longer life spans, exhibit high levels of endurance, strength, and intellectual ability. As the duality deepens, the Revenant and Anchor will influence each other. Over time, a process was developed to guide Revenant to people willing and able to share their bodies in the Muggle world. In the magical world, they have not and they barely bother to educate the general populace about Revenants.
To some, the joining of two souls is an honor, and to others, it is a nightmare.
Terms
Anchor – a human who agrees to share their physical body with a Revenant
Merger – the state of being when a Revenant and an anchor share a body/mind.
Duality – a state achieved by an Anchor and a Revenant.
Integration – a full soul union which means when the anchor dies his/her soul will be a part of the Revenant forever.

Note: The Revenant AU is my concept. I first used it to write a Stargate story called Revenant and it’s available on the Wild Hare Project as I’ve not decided if I want to leave it as a series of episodes or turn it into a novel.
lovely Christmas present, Keira, your writing keeps me coming back and re reading all of your stories over and over again
Ditto!
Just want to say thank you for sharing your works. Been reading for years and always go back to your website and stories over and over again. Looking forward to more of your work in the future! Spending the last few months going through my favorite fandoms and just devouring everything you write.
Thank you for sharing your talent with the fandom! I have enjoyed everything you’ve written & look forward to seeing what you write in this new story!
Yayyy! Run About, Scream and Shout!
Your writing is why I fell I love with Hr/H in the beginning. Appreciate you sharing a bit of your world.
I love both this fix and your ETA fic and just waiting patiently for more of this wonderful world you have created.
I was wondering about it the two Revenant in these stories have meet or will meet?(
Well, answering that question would be a spoiler either way, right? lol
I love your stories!
Thank you. Welcome back, we missed you.
Didn’t go anywhere. I’ve published over 500,000 new words of fic to this site in the last year.
Keira, who are the actors playing Esme and Gawain? The actress looks familiar, I thought she was Emily Blunt. The actor reminds me of Stephen Dillane a bit. He’s got that Stannis The Mannis look.
that is Emily Blunt and Gawain is played by Sullivan Stapleton
Thanks for asking,
and for answering!
Destiny was absolutely amazing and you’ve got me on the edge of my seat! You are such a phenomenal writer and I can’t wait to read more!
It’s like you read my mind everytime i need to relax i to my favorite ship you deliver,
Again another well thought out and executed story. Would love to have seen the back story but would also love to see how Dumbledore and the Order react going forward.
A story is best started in a moment of change – the back story is basically irrelevant.
Fantastic concept/episode! Pie charts!!!!
Please may we have somd more?
I can’t wait for the next episode!
Thanks for sharing this! Looking forward to your next.
Thank you for sharing your work. So looking forward to the consequences of the older generation.
Absolutely love this, read it twice now. Would love more in this series
Fantastic! I love the cadence of your writing, I cannot wait to read more.
This is a wonderfully RICH world you’re creating!
I hate to say this but it must be said….Your Harry/Hermione or Harry/Draco stories are much better than when you try to combine all three. I think you have a particular affinity for Hermione but so it goes. Should you continue this story, you need to make up your mind on this score.
This story is literally marked Harry/Hermione.
Since I’m a plotter, I know my pairing before I ever start writing the first draft. I personally loved the dynamic in Darkly Loyal and would do it again with no hesitation.
I’m not sure if you’ll read or care, but your stories make an immense difference in my life. The fantasy, originality, and realism you magically combine make consistently amazing stories. I have a hard time choosing which one would be my favorite because they all have such different flavors so to speak. Darkly Loyal, All The World, and one that is no longer available where Harry sneaks Hermione under his invisibility cloak, they overhear Ginny and Ron talking, and they come together. He also buys tons of books for Hermione, which get passed on to him during a session of the Wizengamot by the owner of Flourish and Blotts Bookseller. I apologize for not remembering it’s name as well as for rambling. Back to the point, your stories help me when depression really starts to kick my ass, so thank you. I don’t want to add any pressure on you to write, but after several years of reading and re-reading your stories, I wanted to share my thoughts with you.
I’m glad to be a bright spot on the Internet for you. The story you’re talking about is called the Pendragon Legacy and an excerpt is available on my Evil Author Day Index. It isn’t finished but I did work on it last month for a few days so it’s still very much a WIP
Oh WOW!! I’m so hoping that there will possibly be more to this! I would love to see some of the fall out to all that has happened. Yes I completely agree that no one would know what to do with a group of furious Weasleys. You are an amazing writer and I so wish I had found your work years ago!
This is really good. I hope you continue
Loving this. There is nothing else to say. Love
Another wonderful story! I revisit your site from time to time, usually to re-read an old favorite, and sometimes I decide to branch out a bit. I am never disappointed! Your world-building and character development are excellent, and I love how a particular character may be different from one story to another, but it always feels authentic. As a reader, and as someone who writes from time to time, your site is an absolute treasure.
Thank you very much.
i enjoyed this very much.
Love it when you gift us with a surprise! I don’t often comment as I have no gift for words, but thank you. I have been following you since my husband died, and your works have helped me through some difficult times. Thanks again.
I”m glad I can be a bright spot for you on the Internet.
Love all your stories. I’m just starting a story and was wondering if I could borrow the dverger name.
https://keiramarcos.com/permissions/
Yes, of course, and credit is nice.
Thanks. For some reason, I didn’t think to check the permissions tab for some reason, so thank you for giving that. Absolutely, would give credit when I get the first chapter finished. It’s decided to be a pain for me right now. And I’ll link it.
I enjoyed all 3 stories in the series and the concept of Revenants and the name ‘dverger’ instead of goblins.
Your stories might be the reason I’m still in the HP fandom. Thank you for all your contributions 🙂
I’ve just reread this series for the fourth time and I just love it so much. The concept is so interesting and your writing is so captivating that when I start a story, I can’t put it down until it’s finished. Also, the way you write you characters makes them feel so real. I especially love how you write Hermione
What an unexpected but treat of a find. Thank you. I’ve been thoroughly enjoying your stories. I need to go back and thank the author on A03 who recommended you to me, i’m so very appreciative of both you and them for entertaining me. My thanks again.
I love these fics so much!
Wasn’t gonna read it because the series is clearly not over yet, but in the end, I did and I absolutely loved it! You have a way of weaving a story that is dazzling!
Also, gotta ask, is there any way I can like, mark this or something so I’ll know when/if you add to this series? I know you might not do it now, or even ever, but if it does happen I’d really, really like to know!

I just wanted to say how much I love this concept, and both this fic and ‘Revenant’.
Thank you for sharing them. I saw on the page for revenant you had to turn comments off because people were being prats about it and I’m really sorry you have to deal with that — and very grateful you keep posting your writing anyway; it brings me much joy.
