Summary
It was the year 1998, and Wizarding Britain was finally beginning to heal from the wounds of the devastating war. Auror trainee Harry Potter was leading his first field operation when he was struck by a Killing Curse. This led to an unexpected encounter with Death, who revealed to Harry that he could turn back time to remedy his deepest regrets.
Unbeknownst to Harry, dark wizarding activities were erupting across Britain, threatening to shatter the fragile peace once more. But who was behind these sinister plots? What were they trying to accomplish? Was it too late to stop them?
Perhaps all the answers lay where Harry was headed...
This is a journey of family, friendship, self-discovery, and, as always with Harry Potter, a healthy dose of world-saving.
Inspired by Tsume Yuki's "Time to Put Your Galleons Where Your Mouth Is" and with her expressed permission, this is the author's fiction re-imagined.

Summary
James and Lily Potter were absolutely abnormal, thank you very much.
For one thing, they were dead. For another thing, they were addicted to television.
But you’d be addicted to television too if it meant you got to watch your only child grow up in a world without you by his side.
Welcome to a director's cut series where we get to watch Harry’s life - the good, the bad, the hilarious, the murderous - through the eyes of his parents and their friends in the Afterlife.
This is a spin-off of the (completed) Seven Years of Chaos series and cannot be understood without reading the rest of the series first.
This story is never abandoned, but it lives in the back of my mind because - truly - the story is completed. This is only a bonus.

He discovers a surprising dark heritage, and develops goals that do not involve vanquishing a certain Dark Lord or becoming the Chosen One. Adopted into the Black family, Harry will fight against the expectation that he is to defeat the Dark Lord and instead dedicates himself to protecting the dark legacy that has been left to him.

Summary
Harry dies. And then he wakes back up- only, he's eleven again, and waiting to be sorted.
Except, it's not his sorting. He's found himself in 1971, and he has absolutely no idea what to do. He's friendless and wandless and the constant sight of his eleven-year-old parents and his parents' eleven-year-old friends walking around and laughing and being alive is not helping him feel any less alone.
But he's not alone. Because as it turns out, he's not the only one that's come back.
Far from it.

Summary
What I wanted to write was a quick one-shot that explored the idea of Harry being the biological son of Voldemort, only Voldemort doesn't know he has a son and is also as evil as ever. Meanwhile, Harry is just a charismatic kid with a snake and ridiculously powerful magic.
It turned into a series rewrite.
Here's book four.
Features: a Harry Potter that has a bad feeling about this one, an Oliver Wood who's just heard of this new show called Friends and he's about to make that everyone else's problem, a Tom Riddle that has a REALLY bad feeling about this one, a Draco Malfoy that has done really pretty admirably not being dragged into the narrative for the last couple books if you really think about it, and both Sirius and Remus who are just. They're doing their best, they really are.

Summary
"Well, here we are." Sirius pushed open the door with a grand sweep of his arms. “Home sweet Hell.”
Sirius had bad memories of Grimmauld Place, tainted by his own less than stellar family. But for Harry, whose summers had previously involved being locked away either in a cupboard or Dudley's second room--with bars on the windows, no less--it was perfect.
---
With Sirius free from Azkaban and taking up his role as Harry's guardian, Voldemort pursuing a political path to power rather than bloodshed, and a defense teacher that isn't actively trying to kill him for once, Harry has high hopes for his third year at Hogwarts. It'll be nice to sit back and be a kid for once.Only Harry's life is never so simple, and he soon finds himself facing a myriad of new challenges: school bullies and new family dynamics, horcruxes all but falling into his lap, his deja-vu brain giving him mixed signals, and hidden murmurs arising from old Death Eater circles that may pose a threat to him regardless of his tentative alliance with Voldemort. Things seem destined to never be easy, but if there's one thing Harry knows by now, it's that he won't have to do it alone.

Summary
Set at the start of book five. The ever-busy Dumbledore is a little delayed in sending that howler to Petunia, and so when Vernon insists that Harry needs to leave the house as he's clearly a danger to the family, Harry is packed and down the road with no protest, causing the blood wards to break. The Dursleys instantly become a vulnerable target for Death Eaters, and Harry himself is snatched by a Death Eater, but it's Severus Snape and this is coming from a Severitus writer so you've likely already figured out where all of this is going.
***
Snape didn’t become Harry’s guardian because he wanted to be. He did it because it was the best option they had at the time.
Snape didn’t start giving Harry Occlumency lessons because he wanted to help him. He did it because it’s what the headmaster told him to do.
Snape didn’t grow to care about Harry because he wanted to. He just did.

Summary
“I said get out!” Arthur roared, spinning round, staring Merlin right in the eyes before turning to look down at his desk. “I don’t want to see you here ever again! Get out of my sight!”
That was the last time he saw Merlin. Those were the last words he’d spoken to him before Merlin disappeared from almost everybody’s lives.The world collapsed around him anew when Gaius told him neither Merlin nor Lancelot had been seen or returned since leaving through the front gates of Camelot on horseback.
Gwaine never came home.
It was six months later they found them.

Summary
When bookworm Merlin takes his uncle’s place as prisoner to a fearsome beast, he doesn’t expect kindness or hospitality. Or a talking candelabra, or a snobby clock. Least of all, he doesn’t expect to fall for the pratty, handsome creature that saves his life.

Danger Noodle! by MellarkandArt for JessalynMichele, KaliumEI

Summary
“Harry,” Severus sighed, coming to stand next to him. “What did I say about having the snake at the breakfast table?”
“Her name isn’t “the snake,” Harry murmured resentfully. Severus had gotten Noodle at the request of Dumbledore, but he obviously wasn’t the biggest fan of Harry’s new friend.
“Danger Noodle,” Severus said through gritted teeth, “needs to be put away while your classmates are trying to eat.”
“I’m sorry,” Harry sighed. “I just wanted everyone to meet her. It’s her first day and she’s really shy!”
“I highly doubt she can feel such a complex emotion as shyness, given that she is a reptile-” Harry moved his hands to cover Noodle’s nonexistent ears, glaring at his father’s lack of sensitivity, “- but even so, I’m sure she’ll be quite alright if you put her in your pocket while you eat your breakfast.”
“But- that feels so mean. And she’s hungry. You're going to your office now, aren’t you? Couldn’t you take her with you? She needs her rats.”
Severus stared at Harry, likely trying to surmise if he was being serious. Despite being a Slytherin, it had become quite clear in the past few days that Severus was not at all fond of snakes.

In another world, what Sirius Black finds when he sprints into Godric’s Hollow that Halloween night is bad enough. In this world, it’s so much worse.

And next to him, lying on the crib mattress, is the baby’s screaming head.
