    Summary

    The stranger who interrupts their duel in the graveyard is the spitting image of an older James Potter, sans the streaks of red in his hair. Except he has Harry’s scar. Their glasses are the same too.

    What sets this man apart from the child before him and his parents, however, are his eyes. Voldemort does not see Lily Potter or the Killing Curse reflected back at him. He sees the sparkling golden sand from within a Time Turner instead.

    The perfect trophy, Voldemort decides immediately, to commemorate his resurrection.

    In which an older, much more experienced Harry Potter accidentally time travels back to his fourth year and decides he's going to give his younger self the father figure he deserved. Too bad Voldemort can't seem to leave him the fuck alone.

    Summary

    She had whispered to him, "Is Draco alive? Is he in the castle?" and Harry's answer had once saved him.
    Now, it threatened everything.

    Narcissa Malfoy wanted nothing more than to keep her son out of Azkaban.
    She should have asked Harry Potter to keep him safe, not just alive.

    Or

    ---------------
    Draco Malfoy whump, but Harry is the whumper.
    And Ron and Hermione are done with the Ministry's bullshit, thank you very much.

    Summary

    What would any sane person do if their life is shitty and miserable? Commit suicide because no life no problem.

    Fortunately Harry is sane.

    And what would any sane person do when they find out they can’t cross to the afterlife because their soul is bound to undestroyable objects in the world of the living? Go back in time and make it everyone's problem.

    Fortunately Harry is sane.

    And what would a sane person do when they realise no one gives a single fuck about their well being and doesn’t see them as nothing but a war tool? Fuck shit up subtly, make plans to overthrow the government, make a list of the people you want dead and you will kill, collect the pieces of the most feared dark wizard’s soul just in case, commit war crimes on a daily basis, and get working on that killing list.

    Fortunately Harry is sane.

    Wait, that sounds wrong…

    Anyway, have I mentioned that Harry is utterly insane?

    Summary

    “Potter…why is a horcrux of the Dark Lord sitting in your living room in muggle Surrey?” Severus Snape slowly and calmly asked as if he was holding onto his last thread of sanity while waiting for the answer.

    “Well, we met back in my second year at school, became friends since I didn’t know who his future self was, he tried to kill me, I killed him, and then he floated around the aether for a couple years,” Harry sighed. It was all so very complex.

    ---

    Everyone has had a summer from hell after what happened with the Triwizard Tournament. Literally everyone, even the part of Voldemort's soul that he thought he'd gotten rid of so very long ago. When Harry Potter's worst enemy asks for his help though...well, that pesky saving people thing just really gets in the way.

    Summary

    Что сделал бы здравомыслящий человек, если бы его жизнь была ничтожной и дерьмовой?
    Покончил бы с собой. Ведь нет жизни — нет проблем.

    К счастью, Гарри — здравомыслящий.

    А что сделал бы здравомыслящий человек, если бы узнал, что не может уйти в загробный мир, потому что его душа привязана к неуничтожимым объектам?
    Вернулся бы в прошлое и сделал это проблемой для всех.

    К счастью, Гарри — здравомыслящий.

    И ещё: что сделал бы здравомыслящий человек, если бы понял, что всем плевать на его существование, что его считают лишь оружием?
    Нарушил бы чужие планы. Составил бы заговор по свержению правительства. Создал бы список тех, кто обязан умереть. Походя собрал бы осколки души самого ужасного тёмного лорда. Ежедневно совершал бы военные преступления и методично вычёркивал имена из списка.

    К счастью, Гарри — здравомыслящий.

    ...Хотя, стоп. Это звучит как-то неправильно.

    Кстати, я упоминала, что Гарри абсолютно безумен?

    Summary

    After the Second Wizarding War came to a chaotic and explosive end, the witches and wizards of the magical world attempted to rebuild their lives from the rubble and ash left behind.

    In their eighth year of Hogwarts, Ron, Harry and Hermione find it hard to assimilate back into normalcy. Not only does everyone treat them like mysterious legends of folklore, but the tranquility of a regular term feels as foreign to them as their newfound fame.

    Too bad that could never last.

    Summary

    Tom Riddle is hurled from the 1940s into the future, crossing paths with Harry Potter during the Chamber of Secrets ordeal. Harry mistakes this real Tom for the diary’s memory.

    Harry uncovers Tom’s destiny as Voldemort but conceals it, hiding him from Dumbledore and smuggling him through the summer chaos at the Dursleys—where Tom witnesses abuse and unleashes his own violence—before an encounter with Sirius Black. Enrolled at Hogwarts under a false identity, Tom is sorted into Slytherin, sparking cultural revival. Dumbledore spots Tom’s budding care for Harry, forging tense vows that upend dark plans—echoing Albus’s own lost love with Grindelwald.

    Snape, privy to their secret, lends some aid, sparing Harry from drama after arm-twisting Dumbledore. In Knockturn Alley’s underbelly, they talk to snakes, stumble into accidental death, blackmail Slughorn, and ignite concerns over their closeness. Tom vows to slay his future self and reclaim his name—still a sly dark prodigy—Harry’s dark magic flair alarms the Order, fearing corruption of the Boy Who Lived.
