And went with him gladly (and equals they departed this life) by NinaTaylor
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling

Summary
It was frustrating, to just be sitting here and waiting for things to fall into place, but isn’t it what he had always done? He had always waited for other people – wiser people, more experienced and powerful people, to move the pieces for him and trap him in check, only for Harry himself to wiggle out at the last moment and continue the game down to the last piece. He had sat there and watched while more powerful men than him pulled the strings.
No more of that. It was time he took the reins.Or: Apparently, being the Master of Death has it perks. After dying Harry gets offered the chance to go back in time and change things by Death itself. After defeating Quirrell with the help of the greatest-pain-in-the-ass-of-all-time Merlin himself, Harry had much time to practice and make a few plans at the Dursley's. Only for him to realise, that plans are kind of overrated anyway.

Summary
And so, they try again.
Even though deep down Torchbearer had always known that someday this day will come, even though he brought himself to movement and walked out of that tower not feeling the steps underneath the soles of his boots, pulled himself together and put on a brave face for those who stayed, the sight of everything they've built together, abandoned just how they last left it, made him halt.
Clancy was truly gone.
|-/
One moment, Torchbearer was there in the woods, a lifetime lived of failing, and another, he was a teen again, not knowing the world better. He knew this place. Knew the taste of its air, the way the distant hum of the wind breathing through the foliage.
Or… on the second thought, it wasn't just wind.
He stood there, silently watching as the car drove past the trees in the forest. He could get only a glimpse of the 1989 Cadillac Deville and a red-hooded driver and his passenger in the back seat.

Severus Snape and the Next Great Adventure by appleswithoranges for BulShip
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
08 Dec 2025
Tags
Summary
To rebalance a world spinning toward disaster, Lady Magic recruits an unlikely and understandably reluctant champion- the failed, thoroughly unmourned, recently departed Severus Snape, allowing him to return back to life in his fifth year, before his pivotal “Mudblood moment” as a fully repentant, far wiser, less angry version of his former young self. Snape has a Herculean task ahead. Can he fix himself enough to unite the magical world and revive a dying planet?
-----
Slight AU of canon- two pivotal events are different:
1)Lily and James really are flirting in the scene where Snape is hung upside-down.
2)Snape dies in the Shrieking Shack before he can give his memories to Harry, so Harry never walks to his death a willing sacrifice and dies trying his best to take Voldemort with him. He fails to do so. Harry did collect all the 3 Hallows and is still Master of Death, though. He and Lady Magic convince Death to send Snape back to 1976 to right what went wrong.The rest of the changes are through Snape's (and sometimes Harry's) actions as this story diverges very quickly from canon.

Summary
She felt him dying. The pain, the hopelessness, the agony...it was feeding into her soul. She was watching her mother give her life to the ward stone. She was feeling everything and nothing. She wouldn't give up. She screamed and lashed out. Tairn power ripples with Andarna's, both of them filling me up and expanding, and I don't know why, but instead of pushing it out like I normally do, I pull it into myself. I feel Xaden with me; I feel his soul nestled next to me. I pull more and more til I'm screaming. Then the world goes dark... and starts anew.
*All the spoilers. However, it's a new world. Not everything will be the same.

"Tell me the truth, Potter!" Umbridge screeched, "Tell me where Albus Dumbledore is!"
Harry’s head lolled forward as the curse lifted for a moment, his chest heaving as he struggled to breathe.
"Go… to… hell," he rasped, defiance burning in his emerald gaze.
Her face twisted in rage, and she raised her wand again.
"CRUCIO! "
The curse slammed into him again.

Summary
She called on him to make a deal. She knew the cost, but she didn't care. They wronged her, and she'd ensure her fall was worth it. Her choice leads to another one of her past lives being unlocked. It seems that her connection to the demon who owned her soul ran far deeper than once thought. Alastor refused to let her go. A happy ending in hell seemed odd, but not impossible.
In celebration of HH finally being released, I've decided to redo this story!

Summary
“Harry Potter.”
The cold burrowed into his flesh; the scent of cloying death and molding earth clogged his senses.
“The Boy Who Lived.”
A strange sense of unimaginable loss and disappointment rose inside of Harry. That brilliant, yet cruel boy could’ve been so much more if he’d not stepped down this bloodied path.
Terrible, but great. He pitied this creature.
“Come to die.”
Harry Potter faced the flash of green light with the bravery of a Gryffindor and the broken heart of a Hufflepuff.
When Death gives Harry a third option, one that can save everyone he ever cared about, he takes it unflinchingly. Even when that means doing the impossible: falling in love with the enemy, Tom Riddle.
