Please explain the “What Died Didn’t Stay Dead” series because I’m intrigued 👀
basically, What Died Didn't Stay Dead is my funky little reincarnation series!
her concept is basically she starts off as nicholas flamel's daughter but because of her parents' use of the philosopher's stone, she's fucked up. She's not immortal but she's constantly reincarnated with the same face over and over again she doesn't remember everything about her past lives (but she has some dream-vision things about them), she's cursed to always die young — it's not an Actual Magical Curse but it's a thing™, and her golden era reincarnation is her last life because of the stone getting destroyed
the five ocs are Catherine Flamel, who's the actual daughter. She's shipped with an oc named Sébastien Gautier. I don't really know much else about her but she's French and a gifted alchemist, and she loves their gardens more than anything, she was either a Gryffindor or a Beauxbatons student I keep changing my mind lmao
after her is Gwendolyn Pendragon, who's a Fantastic Beasts oc! She was a Ravenclaw at school and there was lots of mutual pining with Newt Scamander. She moved to New York for Some Reason, and reunites with Newt, initially just helping him "clean up his mess" by finding the various creatures he lost but she ends up joining the fight against Grindlewald. Her family history can be traced all the way back to King Arthur, but she uses a different last name in New York to avoid attention
then there's Deianira Carrow, who's my Tom Riddle ship. She's a Slytherin pureblood and the two are very close for quite some time. After Hogwarts they're still together and she's a core member of his friend group, but the more they veer into fanaticism the more she begins to doubt him and starts to pull away, and I'm kind of considering having him be the one to kill her during a particularly intense fight, but I'm not 100% sure about that
After her is Eurydice Crouch, who's a marauder's era oc! She's Barty Crouch's twin sister and in Slytherin, and an eventual Jily ship. She's known James for her entire life and they've always gotten along, so while her sorting isn't great for their friendship, it doesn't immediately turn into hate. She becomes a spy for the Order while still in school, and Voldemort is a bit obsessed with her due to her resemblance to Deianira. Her brother is the one to ultimately realize that she's a spy, and is the one to kill her
and lastly is Lysithea Selwyn, who's a Ravenclaw shipped with Fred Weasley! tbh I don't really know much about her yet, I think she's going to be one year younger than the twins/one year older than the trio. Voldemort is going to be obsessed with her too, and I think that like, after the stone gets destroyed her memories of her past lives are going to be a bit stronger and start getting all mixed up in her head and leave her kind of always feeling like she's going crazy
I haven't done a whole lot of plotting yet tbh but I'm just obsessed with the concept! I came up with it a few weeks ago but you know how indecisive I am in general lmao and having to make five times as many decisions was a struggle let me tell you
