    Summary

    Shortly after his graduation and not-so-willingly leaving the city-house inhabited by the Countess de Stael, Jaskier finds himself on the road with nothing but a bit of food in his pockets, a stolen bottle of wine and the lute on his back.
    As it turns out, he has a penchant not only for music but also for encountering Witchers.
    -
    Over the years, Dragon!Jaskier hoards Witchers instead of gold, stabs some people and falls in love along the way.

    Summary

    Harry Potter had a plan...it wasn't a very good plan, but at least it was simple.

    Step 1: Don't die from the insanely difficult ritual
    Step 2: Cause as much chaos to the timeline as possible before getting killed and/or arrested

    As it goes, it was really simple...until it became clear he wasn't traveling back in time alone. Now the whole plan has to change.

    Step 1: Don't die from the ritual
    Step 2: Kill off current Dark Lord
    Step 3: Establish following to become new Dark Lord
    Step 4: Overthrow Ministry
    Step 5: Cause as much chaos to the timeline as possible
    Step 6: Keep boyfriend alive and not mad at him

    It was a work in progress, but plans hadn't worked out well for Harry in the past regardless. Oh well, it's not like he could make things worse...

    Summary

    What would happen if the mind of a 28-year-old Harry was accidentally returned to his just recently turned 15-years-old body? Lots of swearing, that's for sure.

    Summary

    Harry Potter has a ghost in his head. It speaks in Russian, goes silent for weeks at a time and he has no idea how it got there. He’s going to try and talk to it. It is, after all, his ghost. And now more than ever he could use a friend.

    The Winter Soldier has a ghost in his head. It speaks in English, never shuts up and he has no idea how it got there. He doesn’t mind the ghost. It is, after all, his ghost. And it wants to know how to hotwire a car.

    “You know what, what do I know? I’m just a guy with a gun and a ghost in my head.”

    Summary

    He doesn’t really know how it all started. He was curious, he supposes, the way he always is and the thing about his curiosity is, that once his mind has latched onto something he just can’t let it go, it’s like an itch that just won’t go away until it literally drives him nuts so that he has to satisfy his curiosity no matter what.
    That’s how Stiles finds himself in Eichen House in the secret prison tract where they keep the monsters. And Peter Hale.

     

    Stiles’ curiosity drives him to visit Peter Hale in Eichen House. Even brought low like this, Peter still has a strange allure and Stiles can’t help but keep coming back. Although he does wonder if he’s being caught in one of Peter’s manipulations. Why else does he feel so drawn to Peter Hale of all people?

    Summary

    Harry loses almost everyone he loves and discovers he is unable to follow them into the after life.

    He gets bored of moping in Grimmauld place so moves to the US, much to the thrill of MAUSA (who Harry firmly ignores). He settles in Forks, a quiet town that should give him the dull life he desires, though a Nicotine fuelled, long haired, leather wearing teen with a couldn’t care less attitude was bound to stick out a little.

    What Harry didn’t expect was a coven of 7 bunny sucking vampires, a pack of wolf shifters and an annoying little muggle who couldn’t keep her big nose out of other peoples business. To make matters worse one of the Bunny munchers is under the impression that Harry is their destined soulmate and keeps trying to talk to him (Merlin forbid).

    Rating and tags might change, who knows lmao

    Summary

    A piece of Voldemort's soul attached to baby Harry Potter that fateful Halloween night. Over the years, the soul piece witnessed how much danger and pain his host was in. How far would the soul go to protect the child he began to care for, especially when the boy started to care for him in return? Oh, just a little over-protective care, some magic training, maybe some necromancy...

    Summary

    At the graveyard, after the Triwizard's Tournament, things change. James and Lily offer more than a few words, they tell the truth.

    >James threw a brief glance over his shoulder towards his wife, then back at his son. "Prophecies are a tricky thing, Harry. Some of them are inevitable. Some are self-fulfilling, but some … actually most of them … only have as much power as you give them. We believed in this one. Giving it so much more power than it had to have."<

    Harry's so tired of being afraid all the time. Of being a pawn in someone else's game. He has to end Voldemort. Moody taught them the words after all. Problem is: Harry is not a killer.
    So he tries the one thing that might actually help: To make an ally out of an enemy.

    This is a story where Voldemort becomes a little more like Harry and Harry becomes a little more like him. Meeting in the middle they set out to change their world.

    Summary

    When Harry finds an injured Snape on his doorstep and must hide him from the Dursleys, he has no idea that this very, very bad day will be the start of something good.

    Harry and Snape are thrown together by annoying relatives, a series of strange dreams, and Voldemort's latest hunt for Harry, but their greatest challenge may well be surviving each other. This will be a long summer unless the two can find a way to work together. A slow-burn enemy-to-mentor story.

    Alternate 6th summer (and part of the school year): post-OotP; ignores HBP and DH. No slash, no romance. NOW COMPLETE!

    Summary

    Dumbledore doesn't make it in time for Harry's trial, and the outcome is very different. Harry is expelled, his wand snapped.

    But he refuses to give up. And he is done waiting around for Albus Dumbledore to give him information.

    Deciding to take his life into his own hands, Harry asks for training from several Order members, preparing himself to fight Voldemort while the whole wizarding world believes he's helpless and back in the muggle world.

    Meanwhile, his friends are at Hogwarts, tackling their own problems in the form of Dolores Umbridge. Harry hadn't expected the separation to be so difficult - or for a certain mischievous redhead to make the waiting game they'd entered into so very excruciating.

    He might have lost his home in Hogwarts, but with Sirius and Remus around, Harry begins to learn that rebuilding a family isn't as hard as he'd anticipated.
