Summary
Percy Weasley is not particularly reckless, until he is, once, on the anniversary of his brother's death. For most people, the idea of sending oneself through time to correct one's mistake would remain a fantasy, something to dwell on in the middle of the night, but Percy has always been too capable for his own good.
Featuring: a reluctant spy, an unlikely friendship between a ghost and a lonely student, a portrait, very few friends, several very lengthy conversations about soul magic, and far too many Horcruxes.
(Or, an attempt to answer the question, if someone intelligent was sent back through time, armed only with the word 'Horcrux' and a general knowledge of the main timeline––not to mention a keen understanding of the Hogwarts curriculum––could that person logic his way to defeating the Dark Lord? Only time will tell).
COMPLETE.

Summary
A year after the War's end, Hermione is engaged to Ron and content with her life. Things are going exactly as expected.
And then, late one night, she's alone at the Burrow when Percy arrives, disheveled and distraught. She follows him to his room, to ask after him and see if he's all right.
She doesn't realize it, not yet, but it's the beginning of something entirely new.

Summary
"They had turned their back on him—the whole family had. Turned their back on Percy. Turned their back on the Ministry. Turned their back on their country! They had gone off to join some foolish rebellion, and Percy had been left behind as the sole voice of reason. ‘Rebellion’ was the word Percy used when he was feeling generous. ‘Treason’ was perhaps the more accurate word. "

The W in Weasley stands for Werewolf by gonzoclock

Summary
When a werewolf comes out of nowhere and attacks nineteen-year old Arthur Weasley, he thinks his life is over before it's even really begun. He's wrong, of course, and now all of forty years later the Weasley family is thriving, happy, and healthy- and every one of them is a werewolf.
Things are going really well for eleven-year old Ron... except for the part where he has to get through school without anyone finding out his family's secret while simultaneously keeping his new brother alive. Easy-peasy. Right?
(Pay no mind to the one-eyed beast that seems to be lurking in the shadows- it's almost certainly nothing to worry about.)
Features the entire Weasley family adopting Harry Potter practically the second they lay eyes on him (or before that, even); Ron Weasley finding himself being altogether far too nice too slimy gits who don't deserve it; Percy Weasley doing his best; Harry deciding that being enemies with this Malfoy kid is too much work actually; Hermione Granger being as smart and ruthless as ever; Severus Snape who did not, and I repeat, did NOT sign up for ANY of this; and much, much more

Summary
Percy has always walked a half-step out of beat with the rest of his family. He isn’t cool, not the way that Bill and Charlie are; he’s staid and stuck-up and boring. He doesn’t enjoy pranks, and he doesn’t like surprises at all. He likes the stability and order provided by rules, and he’s always had a fairly low tolerance for chaos. And then the war—
In so, so many ways, his parents and brothers and Harry had an easy war. They spent most of it hidden, truly hidden, where any discovery could mean death. Percy had spent the war out in the open, at risk of being a target at any time. They had no need for moral ambiguity, no careful balancing act of appearing to conform while covertly sabotaging You-Know-Who’s aims. His parents, his brothers had the luxury of never knowing whether their actions had directly led to the death of anyone—and of never having to grapple with whether it was justified.
