    Summary

    Throughout his life, Harry has always played the part others expected of him—sacrificing his own desires, even his very life, to fulfill their prophecy.

    But when Death offers him a second chance, Harry learns the truth of a lifetime: he was never meant to be the hero they longed for, nor the villain they feared. He was meant to be something far darker, something far more dangerous, and far more powerful than anyone could have ever imagined, and the world will never be ready for the change he brings.

    Summary

    It was a long shot—an impossibly long shot—but it was all he had.

    Harry lunged for the photo, his bloodied nose dripping crimson onto the paper as he scrambled for something to write with. But Vernon had locked away all of Harry’s things to prevent him from contacting anyone. In desperation, Harry smeared his blood across the photo with trembling fingers, scrawling three words:

    Please help me.

    He signed it with a shaky, almost illegible ‘Harry’ before stumbling to Hedwig’s cage. He flung the door open and shoved the photo into her talons, his breath coming in sharp, uneven gasps. Vernon’s angry bellows grew louder as he forced the door open, splinters of wood flying into the room.

    “T-take it to Professor Snape!” Harry rasped, barely able to speak through the panic and exhaustion.

    Hedwig let out a distressed hoot as Harry squeezed her through the narrow bars of the window. He turned just as Vernon burst into the room, his face purple with fury, his breathing ragged.

    Summary

    Harriet Potter was twelve years old when she uncovered the child's skull buried in her Aunt Petunia's garden in a sick twist of fate. It was safe to say her life hadn't been the same since when, upon closer inspection, Severus Snape discovered the skull belonged to Harriet Potter, who had died at age two.

    Plots, purebloods, and prophecies abound in a world where, on a stroke of luck, a Potter isn't there to fight the good fight.

    Only a misplaced Malfoy who, really, never suited red and gold as much as she did silver and green.

    Summary

    This was originally meant as a one-shot but the muse and me didn't agree and she wanted to have more backstory written in. So ch. 1 is just the one-shot, the rest fills in the gaps.

    Summary

    What would have happened if Remus' furry little problem allowed him to hear and see James and Lily after their deaths. In which Remus is overwhelmed all the time, Harry gains two father figures, James and Lily are amazing commentators and even better friends, and Sirius Black is just along for the ride.

    This is meant to be a canon-compliant-ish fic, I want it to be fluffy and humorous, but there will be angsty moments because god knows this fandom can't live without angst. Overall, this is a story about healing and re-discovering yourself after traumatic events. I want these characters to be happy as much as you do, and I have the power to make it happen, so don't worry, I will make it happen.

    The series will be many one shots, not evenly spaced (sorry about that, but I will try to give enough context).

    Summary

    The owl appeared late at night and left just as suddenly, he recognised the handwriting immediately and ripped open the envelope.

    If something happens to us, I want you to hide her. Name her Hermione, for she will have my last libation before I sleep and be the messenger of dreamers.
    Moony and Mary know.

    Summary

    Harry did not expect a Slytherin, of all people, to believe him.

    But at this point, he couldn’t care less.

    He hates spending year after year trying not to die. He hates having to clean up other people’s messes and get nothing in return. He hates that people idolise him one moment, and then scorn him the next.

    If this is what his life is going to be, he wants out. Screw whether he loses his magic or not. He just wants to run away and never look back.

    And if said Slytherin insists he come along just to keep an eye on him…well, the more the merrier, right?

    Summary

    'Mala fides': bad faith, purpose to deceive or defraud
    - Merriam Webster dictionary

    For Harry Potter, the man-who-lived-twice, savior of the Wizarding World, and the ultimate golden boy, life was good. He had survived the war, had a job he loved, a good home, and wonderful friends; the future seemed bright.
    But when he's asked to assist on a case involving Unspeakables, what he discovers deep in the bowels of the Department of Mysteries turns his world upside down.

    Betrayed and heartbroken, Harry does what he knows best; he jumps into the unknown like the good, little Gryffindor he is.

      57 sooo close to being done but omg I love this so much its not as long as others but it has a really good plot and the characters are soo good the only thing I wish it that they expanded more on Harry and snape relationship in learning they are related but overall it focuses on the story without going fully into romance which I think makes this more realistic, cant wait for the last chapter

    Summary

    Harry Potter always knew his life was far from normal- but nothing could have prepared him for the chaos that followed the fall of Voldemort at the end of his fifth year. Within weeks, Harry finds himself grappling with a rare and powerful creature inheritance, the revelation of long-buried secrets, and the sudden appearance of fated mates … all bound to him by ancient soul magic.

    Trust has never come easily. His scars run deep, and Harry’s secrets are the armor he’s never dared to shed. Mates or not, he’s not ready to let anyone past his walls.

    Beyond the world he’s known lies Vaeloria; a realm steeped in elemental magic, powerful courts, and ancient oaths. As Harry is drawn deeper into this world, he’s offered a place at Aetherion Academy, Vaeloria’s most elite magical institution where gods, fae, elemental beings and all creatures are trained to wield their gifts.

    Through all this Harry’s got three goals: don’t die, don’t kill anyone (including his infuriating soulmates), and maybe, just maybe, survive school without one of his teachers trying to kill him for once.

    No promises though.

    Summary

    After yet another near-death experience, this time by werewolf, Harry was sent home to his ‘loving’ family once more. His hope of escape and a new life with his godfather, raised for those scant moments before the full moon released Moony and sent Sirius once more on the run from the Aurors, was as ashes in his mouth as he rode the train back to London.

    Apathy saw Harry beaten and starved to the point of death such that three weeks into his summer ‘holiday’ he falls into a coma that he cannot be woken from. Afraid, the Dursleys take him and abandon him in a ditch far away from Little Whinging on their way to a week’s holiday on the Isle of Man.

    When Harry awakens, things have changed far more than he expected.
