The Architect of Lost Souls

Elias_Vance
In a world choked by perpetual ash and crumbling ruins, Elias Thorne, a pragmatic historian, awakens in the frail body of Kaelen Vane, a reviled, branded necromancer. This isn't the Earth he knew; this is the Ashlands, a dying realm haunted by a forgotten catastrophe. But Kaelen's necromancy is unlike any legend. He doesn't raise mindless husks. Instead, he can sense soul fragments lingering in the dead. By painstakingly reassembling these shattered essences, he can temporarily restore the deceased, unlocking their memories, forgotten skills, and even their lost magic. Each "resurrection" is a living, breathing history lesson. Driven by a historian's insatiable curiosity and a primal need for survival, Kaelen soon discovers a horrifying truth: the Ashlands aren't dying naturally. They were shattered centuries ago by a cataclysmic invasion from beings utterly alien to this world. The common understanding of the past is a lie. Now, with a fragile command over his unique power and the spectral guidance of Ser Ulric, a resurrected ancient knight, Kaelen must delve deeper into the haunted ruins and forgotten battlefields. He is the last hope to piece together the true history of the Ashlands, not just for knowledge, but to find a way to escape its slow, agonizing death. But the past holds more than just answers; it harbors ancient, malevolent forces that do not sleep, and they are keenly aware of the young necromancer who dares to awaken the dead. Can Kaelen uncover the truth before the Ashlands consume him, or will he simply become another lost soul in a forgotten history?

HP: The Midnight King

Synopsis: For Justin Russo, life on Waverly Place had always been predictable—filled with family, magic, and the occasional mischief from his sisters, Alex and Maxine. But when a dream feels too vivid to ignore, it unearths memories of a past life long forgotten. As reality begins to unravel, buried secrets rise to the surface, bringing more questions than answers. Now, Justin must navigate a world where the past and present collide. Can he hold onto the peaceful life he's built, or will the sinister forces lurking in the shadows drag him toward a fate darker than he ever imagined? Plot-Driven Fic with a Touch of Wish-Fulfillment. A crossover featuring Harry Potter, Wizards of Waverly Place, Twilight, Shadowhunters, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, and Seraph of the end. Some elements of other works might be present. Important Note: Before diving in, I highly recommend reading the Author POV chapter first. It will help you decide whether this story is for you. Also, be aware that the Gore tag is not for mere shock value—it serves a purpose in fully realizing the scope of the fic. Some descriptions may be unsettling, but if you're uncomfortable reading it, just imagine what it’s like for me writing it. This is a fanfiction, meaning all credit goes to the original authors. This work is purely fictional—any resemblance to real people, places, or events is purely coincidental. I also do not claim ownership of the cover photo. Expect some plot holes and grammatical errors—I'm not a professional writer, but I will do my best to fix any issues as I go. My ultimate goal, once I get into a steady rhythm, is to release at least three chapters per week—though no promises!
