    Summary

    “No post on Sundays” Uncle Vernon announced happily, “No damn letters today-”
    Something came whizzing down the kitchen chimney as he spoke and caught him sharply on the back of the head. The next moment, thirty or forty letters came pelting out of the fireplace like bullets.
    “That does it!” he snapped, his beady little eyes focused solely on Harry, “It’s you that they want. And they won’t stop coming after us until you’re… gone”.
    Harry didn't like the sound of that.
    “But Vernon, we can’t! You heard what that- that despicable old man told us!”
    “Don’t worry, pet” Vernon said, his nasty grin triumphant, “I’ll leave him someplace so far away that those freaks will never trace him back to us. There’s an institute up north, for these- these hopeless cases and whatnot - St Brutus's Secure Centre for Boys. I’ll leave him there, and then we can get back to our nice, normal life”.

    Or, the one where Harry doesn't attend Hogwarts in first year but finds his way to the wizarding world anyway, and this changes everything.

    Summary

    The woman stared at him, shock obvious in every brushstroke of her being. “You’re one of Them,” she finally breathed. “One who Steps Between Stars...”

    “I am. Took a hell of a lot of research to get me here,” Teddy said, eyes gleaming, “And I intend to make the most of every minute.”

    Summary

    Harry Potter is twenty-four years old when he steps through the Veil in the Department of Mysteries, but fails to die. Instead he's sent back to the summer before his fifth year, has a conversation with Death, decides to save a few lives and also prevent the Light's victory in favour of bringing about the Grey Timeline, a balance of dark and light magic. But of course that's easier said than done, and every road to hell is paved with good intentions.

    Or

    Harry's a traumatized eldrich horror, Death doesn't understand human morals, Sirius has no idea how to handle his godson, a Death Eater daughter and a Half-Dementor are questionable company, and some shades of grey are so dark they might just be black instead.
