Summary
“And they’re calling him ‘The Boy Who Lived’? Mycroft asked.
“It’s quite a legacy,” Fudge defended.
Mycroft scoffed. “It’s quite a mouthful.” He watched as Potter’s eyes crinkled.Mycroft prided himself on his intelligence and his control. Right now he knew more than both British ministers and had control over two Harry Potters.
It was like Christmas, his birthday, and Easter combined.Series

Humanity failed to stop the Night King and his legion of undead until it was too late. The displeased Gods decide it should take a greater role in the fate of humanity and wind back to a time before the world fell apart. Jon Snow, the Prince Who Was Promised, and Jaime Lannister are sent back to prevent The War of the Five Kings and unite Westeros under a single banner to avoid a terrible fate.

Summary
“This is magic, Jon.” Said Robb, fervently. “This is some sort of hellish magic, the work of the Other himself. Who else would benefit from turning back time and undoing a war that saved the lives of every man, woman and child in Westeros, except the demons who lost? Father and Ser Rodrik have taught me how to lead men, and fight men who live and bleed, but this? This dream of yours, that wasn’t a dream at all? It’s absolutely fucking mad.”
Jon Snow had made a life for himself beyond The Wall, after he was banished for Queenslaying. A happy life. A life he had always wanted.
And then, one day, he woke up in Winterfell, twenty years ago.
What began as a dream turns into a nightmare as he discovers that something is not content with 'merely' the Long Night being averted, and no matter how many times he falls chasing an unknowable, impossible quest, it refuses to let him stay dead. Once, he followed a woman who dreamed of Breaking the Wheel. Now, the Wheel will Break him.

this is legitimately brilliant. Many threads, magic, consequences, stakes, no OP Plotholes. Ch 29, but worth rereading.

Summary
Harry just wants to have a quiet life and get along with everyone. He wants to be normal, and accepted. Being “normal” for the Dursleys yielded great results in improving his standard of living, and as he heads off to Hogwarts he still retains that impulse to keep his head down and blend in. Of course, life isn’t as simple as that, and Harry is a magnet for trouble. And what does "normal" really mean, anyway? The pure-bloods in his group of friends think he should learn more about their culture and religion if he wants to fit in.
