    Summary

    Harriet Potter was used to being underestimated.

    She had spent the first eleven years of her life pretending to be average, letting the world assume she was nothing special. The Dursleys, in their ignorance, had made it clear that she was not allowed to be better than Dudley—so she wasn’t. At school, she held back, only answering questions when absolutely necessary. She got decent, but not exceptional, grades. She let teachers think she was a quiet, forgettable girl with nothing extraordinary about her.

    That was their mistake.

    The truth was, Harri had learned long ago that intelligence was best used in secret. When no one was watching, she devoured books on math, science, and engineering—anything she could get her hands on. She built small gadgets out of discarded junk, experimented with electronics, and even managed to fix the neighbor’s broken radio when she was eight. The Dursleys never noticed.

    Then, one day, a letter arrived, and her world changed forever.

    Magic was real.

    And if magic was real, then maybe—just maybe—she could finally stop pretending.

    Summary

    Harry Potter was absolutely, unashamedly, done.
    First, Voldy uses a Ritual to bring his pasty snake ass back to life, killing Cedric- which, by the way, thanks for the extra trauma.
    Second, Harry goes through a lovely year of being tortured with a damn writing utensil and ends up in Azkaban after the Battle of the Department of Mysteries- which Dumbledore chose not to prevent.
    So, y'know, fuck him.

    One year later Harry gets released... only to find out he has to go back to the Dursley's; which, no thanks- his cell in Azkaban was looking rather comfy, in comparison to that hell hole.

    Luckily for the plot, Sirius knows of Harry's true parentage and decides it'll be better for everyone if Harry just pops over to America to be emancipated so he could then live with his godfather; it's not like this Tony Stark guy will put up much of a fuss right?
    Right???

    Summary

    Harry Potter is forty-three years old, freshly divorced, estranged from his children, and drowning in addiction when he discovers the truth: Tony Stark is his biological father. Desperate for a second chance at both family and survival, Harry steals a prototype time-turner from the Department of Mysteries and throws himself back to 1990 - into the body of his ten-year-old self, armed with nothing but trauma, substance issues, and the desperate hope that this time, someone will catch him when he falls.

    Note: I haven't tagged the romantic/relationship elements because I've only written the first five chapters and vaguely planned the rest. When the story develops in that direction, I'll update accordingly. For now, this is primarily a found family/trauma recovery story with eventual relationship elements in about 10 chapters' time.

    Summary

    Harry Potter dies. Not to worry though; Death chucks his Master into a different universe for a second chance.

    Follow Harry as he tries to make the most of it, which includes sending letters, waving sticks, climbing trees, and baking one hell of a poundcake.

    (Or; getting Sirius out of Azkaban, hiding his extraordinary magical power, destroying horcruxes and - well, the pound cake really is quite something.)

    And that's just what happens the year before he goes to Hogwarts.
