Summary
When Harry willingly sacrificed himself for the sake of the Wizarding World as was expected of him, he never imagined for a second he'd wake up in a strange chamber surrounded by people both dead and alive.
He certainly never expected Mother Magic herself to show up. Or that she'd be disappointed with his sacrifice.
He also didn't expect her to decide that almost his entire life needed to be redone... And the way she described that like it was a reasonable suggestion was unnerving at best. Terrifying at worst.
Harry had thought he'd finally fulfilled his destiny, only to learn that he was destined to so much more than death at the hands of a dark lord.
Armed with seven books, each filled with details of Harry's life he'd rather keep private, Harry and the others settle in for a lesson from Mother Magic on where they all went so horribly wrong.- Words:

Summary
When Hermione is sent back in time by Remus Lupin after the defeat of Voldemort, she is forced to experience life in the 1970's, all the while waiting and hoping to be returned to her older Sirius Black, who she hopes is waiting for her in the future.
**This is an exact replica of the original story, The Debt of Time, but in chronological order. Meaning the story begins in 1971 instead of 1997 and follows the timeline going forward from that point. It was suggested as a challenge to readers (by other readers) and eventually it became a thing that many did after binging the original version. After MidnightChardonnay put together a downloadable PDF of this version and CrazyKitCat made an ePub, it was suggested that I make it available here on Ao3 for everyone.**

Summary
Ghosts can’t find you when you’re hiding from green light, betrayal, brainwashing, blood, death- death- death in the comfortable grasp of drugs, booze, work.
It doesn’t matter how fast you run, how hard you hide, PTSD will find you and knock you from your pedestal. Your best hope is that there will be someone to catch you when you land- perhaps a family you didn’t know you had.

Summary
Being the Master of Death made life difficult, especially when you need to save all of magical Europe from inbreeding its way to extinction. At least Death was enjoying watching his Master attempt this over and over again. Harry didn't find it nearly as entertaining. Well, tenth times the charm right?

Summary
“The first group I sent over made the Avengers uncomfortable by thanking them constantly and asking for autographs. The next group stole things to sell on ebay. The group after that didn’t even get through the front door because Stark’s security system found something in their background that we missed. The fourth group left traumatized after cleaning out Thor’s room, apparently the god had some beheaded poultry dripping blood into a bowl in there. Then after that every group I’ve left hasn’t lasted more than three days because of some problem or another. I’m pretty sure one of those assholes has made it a game to scare my workers away.”
“I don’t think you’re supposed to call the heroes of New York assholes.”
Or, cleaning up after the Avengers involves more than just getting blood stains out of the carpet and most of them can't take the heat. Thankfully the Savior of the Wizarding has spent the last decade cleaning up after Death Eaters, so she's up to the task. Nothing, not pranks, bird corpses, or unidentified slime will keep her from cleaning up.
This Fic is now complete!

In which John is (reluctantly) a wizard, Mycroft is (apparently) omniscient, and Sherlock is (surprisingly) oblivious.

Summary
Dimitriv had been the Innkeeper for a number of years, never finding an heir to take over, leaving him - with his immortal life - to watch over the Inn and the creatures that came by for sanctuary, food or just a talk.
But that all changes when he finds a baby on a doorstep in a subburb, on a cold winter night, taking the child with him and quickly realising he has found his heir. Disrupting quite a few plans in the process, while endearing him with Death for taking his Chosen to grow up where he could make a difference.
Join Harry's journey as he becomes the next Innkeeper, part of a secret society, that still follow the Olde Ways of Magic, and don't let anything as a non-human appearance fool him into thinking the person sitting in front of him was some kind of monster.

Summary
There were very few things in Harry Potter's life that he was certain of. There was one absolute certainty though; he'd felt it in his bones for as long as he could remember. He, Harry Potter, was dead. The living people around him might not believe, but the dead sure did. Oh well, it doesn't impact his life much. Besides, it's nice to get help with his schoolwork from his parents.

Stunning. Simply stunning.

Summary
Albus Dumbledore's magic faded from the world ten days after his funeral. Wards, bindings, traps, controls, glamours - the scope of the wizard's interference in the Wizarding World was greater than anyone realized. Obliviated memories returned. Powerful magic was released from its chains. Geasa were broken. Thankfully, some wizards were ready. Ready to step in. To step up. To offer help and hope to the teenager who had been weighed down with too many expectations and too little information.
His core and mind released from Dumbledore's bindings, Harry Potter would not flee, he wouldn't take off on a hopeless task handed out by a dead wizard. Severus Snape was released from Dumbledore's complete control. And Remus Lupin opened his eyes, embraced his power and oaths, and turned eagerly to protect and train his cub.
Complete re-write of Book 7. AU.

Summary
"I'm not sure what I'd have done."
"And I didn't want to put you in that position.”For better or for worse, Arthur knows Merlin's secret. The problem? Merlin doesn't know Arthur knows. This leaves Arthur with a predicament... and an opportunity. A test. Three trials and three opportunities for Merlin to prove he doesn't deserve death. Arthur hopes he will pass them. Maybe then the image of Merlin's golden eyes will stop haunting him.
Merlin opened his mouth. A noise unlike any sound Arthur had ever heard escaped from it. Loud and rumbling and guttural, inhuman, and in no way, shape, or form could actually be coming from his manservant.
But it was. And Merlin was speaking.
"O drakon, e male so ftengometta tesd'hup'anankes! Erkheo!"
For a minute, there was complete silence—a silence in which Arthur just stared from behind a tree in an incomprehensive daze.
But then there was a sound. Both loud and forceful and... familiar.
The sound of flapping wings.
AKA an in-depth character study of Arthur. I do not endorse Arthur's actions, but this is what I think he'd do in canon. This was my season 3 prediction!

Summary
Harry actually didn't mean to become a Dark Lord. It just sort of happened that way.
This series technically started with the one-shot "Charming When He Needs to Be," but Easy as Falling, Black Phoenix, and Burning Day are all finished prequels to it. Inspired by a request from sandersyager for Benevolently Snarky Dark Lord Harry.

I thought I'd never enjoy a reader insert, but honestly, the story was so good, the insert - which usually throws me out of the suspension of disbelief became a character of her own in the best ways of truly original characters, so, sadly DESPITE MY OBVIOUS NAME, Y/n was just a lovely woman with an oddly spelled moniker who could do finer beadwork than I ever could.
Snob no more on self-insert fics. Consider me schooled.

Summary
Before his third year of Hogwarts has even begun, Harry faces three whole weeks of unsupervised time in Diagon Alley. In that time he takes a trip to Gringotts - and that changes everything.
Burdened with the knowledge that Dumbledore has been blocking his family magic, and manipulating far more than he ever thought possible, Harry doesn't know who he can trust; but he knows he can't keep going that way. There's a whole world of lore and politics and history to catch up on, and the more he learns, the more Harry realises his true place in the world, and how much is being kept hidden from him. All the while, Dumbledore's twinkling eyes are constantly watching, and Harry can't let on how much he knows.
With help from unexpected places, Harry starts on a journey to end the war, and reshape the wizarding world. With how much he looks like James Potter, people have forgotten one important thing about him - he is Lily Evans' son, and she was one hell of a witch.

One of THE best Harry Figures Out Dumbledore is Awful Early fics I've ever....includes so much of the greater cast and sorry, a fair amount of Molly/Ron/Hermoine/Dumbledore bashing.
Also it's nice to have the elder Weasley boys in play. Neville Longbottom is also amazing. ALMOST FINISHED.
